Shonen Knife put out albums in 91, 92, & 93. But after Kurt died in 94, Shonen Knife didn't put out a record until 96. It includes the song Keep on Rockin'--which I don't see how it can be about anything else than a tribute to Kurt, given the lyrics... "Felt dreamy inspiration when I saw you yesterday" ... "You gave me an emotion almost lost my way" ... "I felt fascination when I sang your song today" ... "Got your invitation everything's going okay" ... "Keep on rockin'"
Awwww, that's cute :D I love how they respected him instead of shitting on him like the rest of the assholes who make music. I know them from a photo from the Nirvana's Tokyo tour and it just both of the bands together and cheering and smiling and such and I tried to find them and I'm here. Currently I don't know them but they sound pretty good. Thanks astro :>
@@Bruin_ffs not very considerate considering he struggled with mental health issues and those kinds of things can make you think your daughter would be better off without you. drug use also has no contribution to someones personality, or wether they’re good or bad. kind of closed minded if ya ask me
Cameron Gibson I can’t tell if you’re a sheltered kid or completely stupid, but you’re trying to tell me that shooting up heroin doesn’t change your personality or make you a bad person? I used to know people that became junkies and i can tell you with full conviction they’re the most selfish, deprived, pitiful people you’ll ever meet. The drug turns you into an absolute dog and I recognise that addiction is a disease beyond the sufferer’s control but don’t be so fucking naïve alright. Heroin will make you steal from and fuck over your best friend or start whoring yourself out if it means getting your next hit, doesn’t matter if your a down and out on a council estate or a millionaire rock star. Don’t make exceptions/excuses just because ur a fan

japan is still popular and always will be because they've contributed so many iconic and unique things to the world, meanwhile all korea provides is... kpop. and that's going to die out very quickly (hopefully)
Imagine being the 80's meathead who was a diehard for any big concerts and went to shows where every band on the bill was a main attraction, then you give Nirvana a try in 1992, and you arrive for the opening band, and it's Shonen Knife. Of course, these were the dudes showing up to Nirvana gigs, and acting like morons, and ruining the level of fame that Kurt just took on. At the same time, Kurt giving indie acts the stage was his way of flipping a finger to the rock stars who were begging him on the phone to tour together.
I’m not sure how big anime was during the time he was growing up but I feel he would be into those anime’s like Spirited Away if he was like born in the 90’s or 2000’s lol sometimes I like to imagine how he’s be if he grew up in a different era
No one disliked this? That's interesting. I'm curious why that is? Is it that only a fan would find this video? Or maybe could it be that Shonen knife arent familiar to western audience so it doesn't trigger dislike reaction? Or is it that this music is impossible to dislike? Lol!
You definately got that right! Take a few classes on film editing fcs, before doing it. The learn as you go approach is very annoying, especially when people are trying to dial in on the connection shared between these two very different kinds of bands!
Violently Sappy th-cam.com/video/xutPcawKKHs/w-d-xo.html is their cover of rockaway Beach. The song they were singing is Twist Barbie off the Burning Farm EP.
It seems more like a huge thing now than it was back then though, believe me. Nirvana was popular, but they got bigger and their legend grew as the years went on after Kurt killed himself. I'm just being honest, as I was a 20 yr old fan myself back then.
Who has the best band 1.Nirvana 2.Shonen Knife 3. ALL OF THE ABOVE (YES) Hmmm..... *Circles All of the above* Yeah that’s right *Teacher grades my paper* :WOW SHE GOT IT CORRECT! A+
It would be nice to be able hear their (Shonen Knife) perspective. This is like watching the Power Puff Girls before a Nirvana show. Now that's a yin and yanger for ya.

97 actually. They did put out The Birds & the B-Sides in 96, but that is just B-Sides (obviously), cover versions & live recordings.
Saw them open for Nirvana in New Orleans Dec 3rd 1993. First concert. They rocked!
finally saw them in 18 or 19
たまに思い出したように少年ナイフ見たくなります。ピュア、可愛さ、曲の良さ、自然体で好きな事を続けているのは本当に素晴らしいです！！
Was supposed to see Shonen Knife open for Nirvana then Kurt left us way too soon God Bless Shonen Knife RIP Kurt
nirvanaも少年ナイフも同じくらいエキセントリックなバンドだよ
I dont understand what you are saying but i agree
@@ChristopherGray00 They're saying, 'Both Nirvana and Shonen Knife are eccentric bands.'
Kurt also went to arcades when he was in Japan
Kurt - the voice of reason.
and also the voice of uneasiness
what else is he to you?
Kurt -- an honest voice.
He was a voice alot of things but didnt want to be. Kurt always was on or off.
Who mixed the audio?! You’re FIRED! Good god!
I think when it got digitized the audio got bad
Right?
Eventually, Shonen Knife will take over the world.
ShikataGaNai100 as it should be
I, for one, welcome our new kawaii overlords
They overtook mine! Along with "Tsushimamire", "Shonen Knife" Music is played everyday at my house --and car!🐼💕💕💕💕💕💕🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
still waiting
they're on top of it for now
This severely requires subtitles.
As an aside, look at baby Dave Grohl
I thought his name was Dave Nirvana
Who’s nirvana
Kurt was a great person 🙏
At really
Even though he smells
A junkie that shot himself and left a baby girl without a father ? A great person?

would have been fucking awesome to see one of their shows together.

Kurt is such a chill and cool guy, we didn't deserve him :(
I feel like I’m living his life
Oh gavvd these avatars

Shonen knife - the japanese female ramones lol
Kurt was a weeb confirmed.
Fucking Courtney made a manga, too. He was a super weeb.
The original weeb... before it was mainstream anyways!

I would not define Kurt as that. Kurt simply was a fan of Shonen Knife.
Whatever weeb is it better be good or else i wont forget anyone who say bad thing about kurt no one
Kurt era um artista e tanto. Descobria coisas novas, bandas e dava oportunidades .. uma pena ele ter ido embora 😕😕 ahhh.. shonen knife é demais ❤️
Love these girls, looks like there's good quality early Japanese footage, would love to see complete versions of that!
Yes. Anything but this mess!
世界進出したがってるバンドって、一生懸命英語の発音頑張ったり受けのいい曲つくったりするけど、少年ナイフ見てるとそういうことじゃないんだなって
森星 発音ダメでもヘタでも楽しそうにやってるのが受け入れられる海外の音楽シーンは素晴らしいと思う
インストバンド言われてるZEPもレコード億以上売れてるし海外はあんまボーカル気にしないんだと思う。
@@dannku3381I personally love music even if it’s not my own language, if it’s good, it’s good!
@@enriquepastor3626👏👏👏👏 well said music is for everyone
Kurt, Krist and Dave consecutively should have married each member of Shonen Knife and lived out the rest of their lives happy and beautiful.
😂😂😂
Dave seems pretty happy tbf lol
my favorite band, shonen knife
十代だけど、カートと日本人が机を囲んでる！？！？
なんだこの人たち、、
よくわからんけど、凄い
Love, love, love Shonen Knife!!
I saw them open for Nivana in Omaha on the Heart Shaped Box tour. I was pretty ripped but sobered up for Space Christmas.
sounds like a lovely tune
Space Christmas?
awesome music history!!
Thank you Kurt introduce me at wonderful Shonen Knife
I love you Shonen Knife
I love Shonen Knife
Kurt was awesome
Kurt is Cute !!!
Kurt was beautiful like an angel
♡(=´∀｀)少年ナイフ
日本の誇り
90年代初頭、インディーズにおいては日米英、皆同じなのよな。
成功とかはまた別問題。良い時代だった。
Adorable!! 🤗😇🤗😇
why am I watching this, this is amazing
Arigattoh ..Shonen Nirvana in japan 1992. Kom mong wah..
Entonces Nirvana y Shonem Knife eran bandas amigas.
Can somebody tell me the name of the that stars at 2:32 mark?
これは貴重な動画だ
Así éramos en los 90s
Que bien le queda la coleta a krist novoselic!
Siempre serán unos maestros haciendo el mono.
1:28 shouts out to Calvin Johnson.
1:44
Young grohl!
Also, I miss when japan was popular. I wish it still was, I don’t really care for Korea.
japan is still popular and always will be because they've contributed so many iconic and unique things to the world, meanwhile all korea provides is... kpop. and that's going to die out very quickly (hopefully)
No idea what you are talking about, tourism levels in Japan are much higher than South Korea.
You act like weeb culture isn't flourishing
Huh? Japan not popular? Wtf?
GOZAIMAZ!❤🎉😊
My left ear really enjoyed this video
My left ear is so pleased
1:44 when Kurt notice racism and he’s not happy with Krist
He did seem a little annoyed
how is that racist
@@duckyyyaj247 maybe not racist, but he was going over the top with the bowing.
@@MaximumCarne does it mean something that I just don’t know about?
ummm... since when is doing that racist??
this video makes me melt! im in love.
the only thing missing in this video was cibo matto
I know my chicken!! 🐔
頭おかしい！大好き！❤❤❤
なつかしーーーー
ウィーザーの初来日だったかな、心斎橋クアトロで話しかけてくれたー。すっごい気さくすぎてびっくりしたの覚えてるー
Naoko so cute
Man, 30 years later Japan looks exactly the same
My Girlfriend fucking loves Nirvana
Kurt Cobain also known as Ahead of the Curve
3:27
Anyone else notice that toy monkey appears in the "Sliver" MV? (Assuming it's the same one.)
I was certain the master editor was deaf or drunk. After the whole video though I realized it was both...
1991-95 American teenagers set standard of cool still felt today.
Thank you Mayor.

It would be so nice if you'd actually be able to hear what they are saying X'(
Lmao this is so funny to see nirvana with a japanese punk band
Kurt always had good taste for muzika 🎉
I wonder if Kurt ever watched anime?
He really like getting hello kitty presents so maybe
According to Danny Goldberg, when Nirvana was in Japan. Kurt really dug the animes he got to watch.
I’m not sure how big anime was during the time he was growing up but I feel he would be into those anime’s like Spirited Away if he was like born in the 90’s or 2000’s lol sometimes I like to imagine how he’s be if he grew up in a different era

It's because all dislikes are HIDDEN now, only the person who uploaded the video can view it
Que guapo está krist novoselic con la coleta.
3:29 LOL
Dave thinking: but isn't ABBA a tiny bit better?
Great but whoever edited the footage is a dingus.
You definately got that right! Take a few classes on film editing fcs, before doing it. The learn as you go approach is very annoying, especially when people are trying to dial in on the connection shared between these two very different kinds of bands!
Shame on you, dammit! 4:11 of nearly wasted time.
3:22 sounds like "Rockaway Beach" by the Ramones.
i don't now much about shonen knife and if that was a cover or an original song but all i know is that their main influence was the ramones
Violently Sappy th-cam.com/video/xutPcawKKHs/w-d-xo.html is their cover of rockaway Beach. The song they were singing is Twist Barbie off the Burning Farm EP.
Too cool
Don't bother turning down the music when they speak
Endorsed by NIRVANA!!!!! Can you imagine?!?!
It seems more like a huge thing now than it was back then though, believe me. Nirvana was popular, but they got bigger and their legend grew as the years went on after Kurt killed himself. I'm just being honest, as I was a 20 yr old fan myself back then.
Nirvana eran unos especialistas en hacer el mono
What is the second shonen knife song that’s played in the video?
Watchin' Girl
So cute!
I love how Awkward Kurt Is
Maybe he was loaded.
he wasn’t awkward at all
He was so chill
Who has the best band
1.Nirvana
2.Shonen Knife
3. ALL OF THE ABOVE (YES)
Hmmm.....
*Circles All of the above*
Yeah that’s right
*Teacher grades my paper* :WOW SHE GOT IT CORRECT! A+
SK are punk rock
fear the shonen knife
When was this in 1992? I have never seen Kurt with that hair color before 🤔
Feb 1992
Stupid background music over the interview. What did the filmmaker think? They're just cute so you don't need to hear what they say :facepalm:
It would be nice to be able hear their (Shonen Knife) perspective. This is like watching the Power Puff Girls before a Nirvana show. Now that's a yin and yanger for ya.
just turn off your left speaker..
I just found out
The same interview feature with original audio: th-cam.com/video/L67lyxMONPQ/w-d-xo.html
I wanna be Twist Barbie!
Los Nirvana podrían montar un circo o un teatro ambulante como Manolita Chen.
Cool video but the audio is awful
Ikr?!

ロックはこうありたい。
what's the shonen knife song at the beginning?
It's called Lazybone.
Educis Mortis thanks man :)
feel like beatles song
' get back '
I can't believe we dropped two A bombs on these people.
Btw, I learned the whole Pretty Baka Guy album and part of 712 on guitar back in the late 90s.
Can anyone transcribe what Shonen Knife are saying?? Can't hear over the loud ass music.
Atsuko the drummer is cute. Shes the bassist now. I wish there was still the original linup with Michie on bass.
hey ...educ is mortis !?? hmmm..?
I don't want to think about him
you're thinking abt him already :)
@@eliaskaff thats very true indeed! She just doesnt want to cop to it.
Como si no hiciesen el mono lo suficiente.
They were the perfect support band. Kurt was right.
