Thinking 'bout Yuka

about

I always thought that the most sensual songs on pop music were written by Yuka Honda, from Cibo Matto. I discovered band’s first album “W La Woman” thanks to a review in a music page of an Italian newspaper called “La Repubblica”. A year later I was in Dublin visiting Virgin Mega Store. A friend of mine – very well aware of my odd musical tastes – came to me with their CD, linking forever the perception I had of that strange trip-hop album with my second permanence in Dublin. I used to listen to “W LA WOMAN” late at my Dublin night with a borrowed CD player. It was magic. Later “Stereo Type A” was never the less, and as for “Marina and The Diamonds” I’m so happy ’bout this strange coincidence having both the artist back as “There’s a Girl…” is being released. By the way! Those days me and my friend where both in love with a Japanese girl called Mika as well! Some parts of the songs are dealing with that experience too. I think that no chanteuse has ever written sexier songs than “Theme”, “King of Silence” and “Clouds”. Possibly “Seaguls Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her”, but in a less romantic way and without any mystical ingredient. The song – and therefore the album – starts with some “number station” clips. It’s a tribute to the TV Serie Fringe and it want to introduce the sci-fi alt-love element of the album. “It wasn’t mant to be like this…”. And that’s it! Second part is pure Bowie “Earthling” era. I also found interesting battling with the “YOU” vs “ME” theme with the names YUka and MIka. Wasn’t that a brilliant one? Though my favourite quote from album and song is:“Music be the food of love. Play on”. Even Yuka’s fan loved it!

lyrics

It wasn’t meant to be you
It just wasn’t meant to be you
The bus had stop and you got on,
we drove and we got lost
You rose your thumb
Then pinky came
and it was clear
You wanted me to come
I guess there’s something more
And now she’s asking me
why I’m so late and didn’t call

I was thinking ’bout Yuka
(You can never really tell what happens after that)
I was thinking ’bout Yuka
(You can trust your feelings, nothing matters in your head)
I was thinkig ’bout Yuka
(You call for another drink, she’s blending with your hand)
Thinking ’bout Yuka
Thinking ’bout Yuka
Thinking ’bout Yuka
Thinking ’bout

Double Virgin’ Megashore was meant to be the stage
Acting other lovers lines from long forgotten days
“don’t know what I’m doin sweetheart, but I’ll never stop”
Music be the food of love… play on

You were talking ’bout Mika
(Can’t you really tell that now it’s happening the same)
You were talking ’bout Mika
(c’mon close the door, forget about your past)
You were talking ’bout Mika
(caravan get goin’, no need to be left)
