| okay, hear me out here. |
hi! my name is monstii and im slowly going insane. not really. or maybe actually really? anyways
i'm sure you might have heard of bacon's law before, or just of the theory of six degrees of separation before. today im going to show you how we can connect japanese director and singer of post-punk band uchoten keralino sandrovich to english king crimson guitarist robert fripp!
( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)
okay. so, we start with kera. kera owns independent record label nagomu records, and guess who was signed on to nagomu records at one point? carnation! they released their first single yoru no entotsu while they were signed there after kera took interest in them.
then, we can connect carnation frontman masahiro naoe (jp wikipedia link) to hirofumi and keiichi suzuki of the moonriders, who were involved with early carnation collabed with them on the album duck-boat.
from there, we can connect keiichi suzuki to ymo member yukihiro takahashi, as they were both apart of the musical duo the beatniks. (takahashi also performed at moonriders 30th live, along with masahiro naoe, [he's there just kinda to the side] so technically we could skip suzuki entirely) and we can connect him to fellow ymo member ryuichi sakamoto. (we could also circle back to masahiro naoe AGAIN, third ymo member haruomi hosono has worked with singer chisato moritaka, and carnation was the backing band for moritaka's 4th album.)
ryuichi sakamoto has collaborated a few times with english singer-songwriter david sylvian, notably on the song 'forbidden colors' from the movie merry christmas mr lawrence. and, david sylvian, in the 90's, worked with robert fripp on improvisational lives and three albums.
(note that the fact about the suzuki brothers producing gong show is actually something i probably made up. i have no idea where i got that from (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ))

WOW that took a lot more work that you'd expect. its worth noting that you can connect a lot of people to anyone named beyond yukihiro takahashi. takahashi himself was apart of the sadistic mika band, which included some pretty big names in the j-music industry. ymo itself is a very big name, being very influencial on electronic music and j-pop. dont get me started on david sylvian and robert fripp. we'd be here forever.
really goes to show how many people are connected, huh? not just celebrities and otherwise big names, the people around you too. last year, two people involved in my school's production of mean girls found out they were cousins and had no idea. crazy! its a really deep, but otherwise interesting rabbit hole to go down.
im gonna go eat something now. you probably should too, if you havent already. also, make sure to have a good day, okay?
monstii singing off.
