That is some cool shite. Okinawa says "Bite me, Bjork". I've actually heard some stuff like this before; Riuchi Sakamoto used Okinawan singers on a few recordings. In fact, I've searched for ages for one tune that my Japanese girlfriend at the time told me was a folk song about a sorceress who magically stole her lover's ears for cheating on her. Or something creepy like that. I love that image, so I hope I never find out it's about something more mundane... No, I ain’t, although I think she’s wearing a getup I used to wear in 1984.
