    I am not to inspired by the younger generation's music groups today because, the true talent foundation of the art of music being of real instruments, almost seem like a thing of the past, you just have the studio sound mixing board matrix. But now, after watching & listening to this group, there is a minority that is keeping it real, indeed. If I turned on a radio, an heard this group playing this track and never saw there faces, no doubt I would have thought something new from EWF, or Tower of Power. My jaw dropped to the floor when I heard, and watched this group. One word to describe this group, " AMAZING". You Guys are keeping it real, truly. Keep on, keeping on.

    • @davidandcookie7648
      @davidandcookie7648 4 года назад +21

      @@Gregorypeckory well, the key word as I see it would be "basically." Yes, they are *basically* the same, but that in no way means that you're just as likely to encounter a modern Funk-rock girl group in Japan as you would the same in the Western world. You may not be surprised to see them because their existence is in the realm of all possibility. As would A Christian avant-garde extreme metal band in an Asian Muslim country. Humans are basically the same everywhere, but their cultures are not, so the likelihood to encounter such is completely askew from culture to culture. I said "Japanese" to refer to culture, not race. If I meant race, I would have said "Asian." But you're right that race doesn't mean anything. But culture, and cultural exposure, does. So your statement that it "should surprise nobody" is only an opinion. It would be completely forgivable for anyone to assume that they wouldn't encounter such a culture-jump as this, even though they should know that their existence is possible.

      @@luiscirilo3851 barriers make you sick? I think you're being pretentious about that. Borders, too, huh? You sound like you fancy yourself better than humans. Are you superhuman? I doubt it. Don't feign ignorance about the fact that no one is talking about race. Or color. And if you can't tell the difference between culture and race, you need to hold off on the self-aggrandizing and get the terms straightened out. MUSIC HAS CULTURE and each culture has its own music. To pretend otherwise is foolish.

      @Gregorypeckory 4 года назад +4

      @@davidandcookie7648 I didn't think or mean to say you're a bad person, so forgiveness is overdoing it imo, but I simply thought calling it "trippy" that some Asian young women were playing funk was a bit silly.
      You took it more seriously than I intended. But, like you said, it was only an opinion, and not a severe one anyway; call it "trippy" if you want. We all have a point of view; maybe it's okay that we don't see eye to eye.
      Don't take this badly, but I also don't think it's all that odd regarding the culture comment, that someone from Japan or any nation where Americans have been playing their music for decades to large enthusiastic audiences might actually take up playing it themselves.
      Maybe you aren't as aware as me of the amount of cross culture exchange that's been going on for a while, because I happen to really enjoy cross-pollination from one culture to another, so it's made me notice that there are lots of fans from every country, of music forms from distant places, and Americans seem to benefit from a lot more fans from Asian countries, than the other way around. From that perspective, I believe it would be more unusual for an American band to convincingly play Japanese or Chinese music, than for Asian bands to form playing American genres well; there's simply more people interested.
      I think what you said was a bit silly, but like you said, it's only my opinion, and it's not even an opinion that you're a bad person.
