wifey

Except that total student numbers are at 550 now, that interview was done in January

OMG I want to come to Japan and meet your wife. She's like a Japanese celebrity or something!

Everyone knows Asians can't sing.

They're basically human bagpipes.

OMG I want to come to Japan and meet your wife. She's like a Japanese celebrity or something!

it's heading that way, she's in the print/online media every other week, is releasing another CD in August and there are very, very early negotiations to do a TV doc on her life. By the time Ian gets here her songs should be on standard Karaoke machines

Hot. I like karaoke.

Sorry I called your wife a bag-pipe, underclass.

It... diminished me.

no worries, she can holler

a maaahzing glaaace how sreeeet the sooound.

Oh right, yeah. Japan's the racist society. I remember now.

Right on nick that's sweet. sorry to be all aurally fixated, but i want to hear it now. any bootlegs floating around?

Fuse, why did you come back? Fuck off and die alone

this is from a couple of years back, before she launched her business proper. There should be some more stuff soon, but a lot of her recent shows haven't really featured her as they're geared for her students
Nana Gentle "Safe in your will"

Mrs Gentle has quite a set of pipes... I heard first hand at their wedding, the girl can sing in English as well as most of you can speak, and much better in some cases.

the girl can sing in English as well as most of you can speak, and much better in some cases.

side question:  how well does she speak english?
i imagine we'll have no problems communicating w/ Nick around, I'm just curious.

Heck yeah, man. She's a cutie. I need to find me a nice Asian girl. There's no way I can make the Japan trip, but I'm supremely jealous.

Fuse, why did you come back? Fuck off and die alone

haha u mad?

Considering how much made-up bullshit I take from some of you people here, I'll kindly tell you and your fake-christian yellow mama to fuck off and die first, thanks.  Damn, you people can dish it out in spades but you certainly cannot take it.

Nick that's pretty bad ass!

I can only wonder though, how this fantastic woman came to be hitched to some goofball who drinks sake in front of a webcam and passes out on the couch.

Your wife's venture has given me a great idea though. If I marry me a fine black mamma and move to Japan can I start a business teaching your wife's singing students how to dance? That would be sweet if I had her endorsement.

isn't this the plot of "Step It Up and Marry Interracially 2: Asian Persuasion"?

Krsna - that's a fabulous idea. Can you do the scene with James Brown from the Blues Brothers?

Why we got married is anyone's guess, we're polar opposites in just about ever category. She likes that I (Japanese way of thinking) give her free rein and lots of encouragement, and also that on her days off I don't care if she wants to stay home and relax. I like it that she's making her own fortune and not expecting me to, and also on her days off I can drink sake in front of the webcam and go play Asian card games with mates from my baseball team.

Japanese men generally can't handle it if the woman is more successful, I'm totally happy if she makes a packet and I wind up staying home with the kids. God only knows I'm sick of that office anyway.

Lucas - Her english is scarily good for someone who's never been overseas. It's really textbook, and she doesn't understand a lot of slang outside of African-American speak, which she knows from when she founded a church in Shibuya with a couple about five years ago. So either talk like Chris Rock or the Queen please 

Or both? Might make for an interesting combo.

I cant imagine Lucas talking like Freddy Mercury...

even better:  imagine tricky doing it!

ooooooh, I'm gonna take you ON THE FUCKING KITCHEN COUNTER!

Imagine him saying what you said just above him.

oh don't worry, I am



it's funnier if you imagine Ian saying it, in his voice, to Tricky

I can dig it.

She's fantastic. I'd love to collaborate - maybe in the future when I can get over there!

I actually miss both Mellow and tricky. (and Lauren)
Sure they they didn't like me much but they brought up interesting things that I don't get since kicking the TV into the street.
