Otaku moment
After listening to it for the first time after a long break, I can’t help noticing that Japanese anime voice actress Kikuko Inoue’s 1992 album “Tadaima” has an interesting characteristic: it is entirely free of English. There isn’t even any use of English loan words in it. It’s almost a linguistic exercise: is it possible to make an entire album of light pop songs that don’t make use of any English loan words whatsoever?
Well, she seemed to pull it off. Making the album not only fun to listen to for the music, but for the odd purity of the language she used.
