SHO-JO-JI (THE HUNGRY RACCOON) / CHARUMERA SOBAYA

Blue Series 7' single by the awesome, all female, Japanese, rock group, The 5,6,7,8's! Yoshiko Ronnie Fujiyama, Omo The Screaming Chellio Panther, Sachiko The Geisha Girl and Mabo the 88, (that's the 5.6.7.8's if you're into the whole brevity thing) present two of their finest sides to date 'Sho-Jo-Ji (The Hungry Raccoon)' a song so infectious you'll be singing it over and over until everyone around you goes mad and 'Charumera Sobaya (The Soba Song)' an equally great jam about noodles. Who doesn't love noodles' In Japan these are considered quirky 'novelty' songs, but leave it to these girls to flip the script and in the process breathe a whole new life into the songs. Produced by long time super-fan Jack White.
