I ordered an album called "Tropica...How funny. I ordered an album called "Tropical Winter" hoping it might be at least somehow Christmas-related. There was absolutely no information about it online, and the artists listed in the listing didn't get me any helpful results. When I got it, it clearly had nothing even remotely related to Christmas on it, and my first half dozen attempts at translating it didn't get me anywhere. I finally managed to get at least the titles and artists translated accurately this afternoon. One of the songs on there is "Jenny" by Juicy Fruits. My first search brought me back here, lol.<br /><br />For what it's worth, the record appears to have been a promotional album, possibly promoting a DJ. It basically takes the listener on a virtual vacation to a tropical island in the winter, although all it really is is a bunch of early 80s Disco with some narrated/instrumental segues between them. At least it was cheaper than the Thai Christmas album a friend and I bought, only to find out it wasn't really a Christmas album.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329443226921164287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-51821448448034559422015-07-05T22:11:43.363-04:002015-07-05T22:11:43.363-04:00yes i was surprised as well when i first listened ...yes i was surprised as well when i first listened to their albums because Jenny was the first song of theirs i had heard. but i still love them all the same. she definitely stands out from that era in a good way. like a Jun Togawa type. but only in that they stood out, heh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215706548203503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-63295695218387371172015-07-04T21:07:02.724-04:002015-07-04T21:07:02.724-04:00Thanks very much for that video, by the way. To se...Thanks very much for that video, by the way. To see someone in that age of frilly-dressed aidoru shredding an electric guitar was quite something to see.<br /><br />I'd only known Juicy Fruits for "Jenny", so it was a bit of a surprise to see and hear some of their other output and find out that Okuno sings in a lower register. Definitely an interesting group and a band that gets me in that nostalgic 80s mood.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-69173676219792006532015-07-04T08:19:28.392-04:002015-07-04T08:19:28.392-04:00i also have to add that seeing Okuno rock the solo...i also have to add that seeing Okuno rock the solo on guitar is amazing and very cute as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215706548203503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-82586554124489423862015-07-04T08:17:34.449-04:002015-07-04T08:17:34.449-04:00i was hoping you had written something about this ...i was hoping you had written something about this song in the past. I really love Juicy Fruits' sound, but what i love even more is when Okuno sings like she does in Jenny in a Bad Mood. as far as i know she only did it in one other song which i believe is called Love Slump. i wish she had done it more. despite that, Juicy Fruits' range of musical styles seemed to wildly vary, every track was so different from the last. I love that about them. <br /><br />There's also a definitively 80's video of them performing Jenny that is essential viewing for fans of the song. Out of all the covers, I really do prefer the original. It's so lively and quirky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0IuxkZkuooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215706548203503609noreply@blogger.com
