Super Jet Shoes!
December 23, 2008
Just a quick post to point out a funny fact I found out a while ago. Perfume has covered live in several occasions a song called “Super Jet Shoes” originally sung by Hiroshima born singer Peachy. This song is very cute and energetic, and the girls of Perfume, charismatic as always, give it a lot of heart and make it tons of fun!
Here’s a relatively recent performance of that song
That was awesome, right? Well, the funny thing is that “Peachy” is actually Ishii Rika, and while I’m not completely sure if it’s the same girl or not, there used to be an Ishii Rika signed with UFA and Hello!Project eons ago XD She performed a few songs in the “Douyou Pops” collection. I remember her voice particularly because it was what catched my ear first, she’s a great singer! Sadly, her version of Super Jet Shoes kinda fails miserably when compared to that of Perfume… Oh well! Here’s a live performance of the original version of Super Jet Shoes in HEY!HEY!HEY! Boy, she is a hyper girl, right?
This could add to the infamous “Are Perfume idols or not?” debate I guess
