Do you love music?
Do you love Hiroshima?

then, do you know Hiroshima musicians?
famous artists are Porno Graffitti, Okuda Tamio, Perfume, and Metis.



Today I'll introduce Porno Graffitti, and Metis briefly.


Porno Graffiti, famous rock band,


Two members in the band,Akihito Okano is singer, Haruichi Kondo plays the guitar.
Until now they releaed 29rd CDs (/'3)/
usually they are called PG or Porno, I call them Porno.


Why this name was named for this band? They says they didn't want ordinaly name, they wanted to stand out from the other band. they chose this name from the second Album of Extreme, American rock band.


they started from 1994, had activities mainly in Osaka.
They became famous when "Apolo" was released.


They shows affection to Hiroshima by using Hiroshima dialect on TV or radio, singing in Hiroshima dialect, and they had held the concert in their home town for free.


When I was junior high school student, I used to listen to the local radio, there was competition for who could sing Porno well, who could imitate Akihito's voice.


WE all love them!







Metis, female reggae singer! she came out from 2006, her name is come from the Greek story.


Her parents had divorced when she was three years old, then have lived with her mother.
She showed her appriciate on her song called "Haha Sanka" (prize to mom)
I actualy listened to this song, it made me cry, I felt how she really loved her mom.


She said "thank you for giving me a birth" in the end of song, that was impressive.


She always tries to tell peace and love through her songs.





You should listen those songs!!


thank you (^^)/
