PAGODA VIDEO: “Shojo A” x 2
Stumbled across this clip while doing a little research for the Vinyl Pagoda Project. Don’t know what the TV show was or when this clip aired, but here Ayumi Hamasaki teams up with old-school J-Pop legend Akina Nakamori for a rendition of the latter’s controversial 1978 single “Shojo A”.
Yes, we will be hearing from Naka-san in the process of the VPP. but probably not until I decide on a final blog redesign for here. (If you can help, please e-mail me.)
ETA: Kd, formerly of Iro Iro Aru Sa!, tells me that this clip is from Ayu’s television show AYU READY?. which aired on Fuji TV for about a year and a half, and live collaborations like this were a regular part of the show (see her comment below).

I think the clip’s probably from Ayu Ready? - the show Ayu had for a while. Every week there was a different musical guest, and she did a duet with them of one of their songs. Other guests included Tsunku (Love ~since 1999~), Gocchin (can’t remember the song offhand) and Mini Moni (Rock ‘n’ Roll Kenchoushozaichi, sadly after Mari’s departure).
As for the site redesign, design student here!
Drop me a line if you have any ideas you want me to have a stab at.
