At the recent Rock In Japan festival Seiko Oomori performed acoustic, without her backing band, dressed in a too-short nurse outfit and laddered tights drenched in fake blood. She spiked her gentle fingerpicking with abrasive violent thrashes, which lingered in the air long after she’d returned to quiet. / In person, Oomori (pronounced “or-morry”) speaks a thousand miles per hour, giggling nervously and deliberately giving contrarian or confounding answers, determined not to let you figure her out. Which is cool, because who wants pop musicians that are too easy to read? Hear the lady out, check this clip and make up your own mind. / / Japanese music has a wide variety of artists, and like any country’s music scene it too is full of gimmicky sounds or imagery. Such music can be great and a lot of fun too, but there’s something about a naturally talented vocalist that demands our attention and respect. That's why I like the Nipponese.
