Osaka effected you and your music?NAOKO: Osaka is the second largest city in Japan so we easily get imported record(s) from overseas.I'm very influenced by Amercian and British rock music.Shonen Knife is more like underground or alternative music than mainstream music in Japan.PSF: It isn't traditional Japanese music then?It's the traditional Japanese pop scene.PSF: Before Shonen Knife started, what music were you listening to that made you want to start a band?After the Beatles, I started to listen to Kiss.But for me, Kiss is very rock.Some bands have very nice melodies and I've been really influenced by them.You're international rock stars though so do you see yourselves as role models in this regard.She's the boss in my house!PSF: When Shonen Knife started then, were there other women bands around?MICHIE: Yes, there were many other female bands around us.Now though, when I look at American bands, there are more and more male bands.The percentage is the same I guess.PSF: Speaking of that, what did you think of the Shonen Knife tribute album (EVERY BAND HAS A SHONEN KNIFE THAT LOVES THEM)?Red Kross and his friends made a project to do a cover album for Shonen Knife.It's just so wonderful that so many other bands, the bands that we love, have songs they did from Shonen Knife.We got fans through that album.One guy came to Japan and bought the album and he began to like Shonen Knife.The experience was very wonderful.So many people came to our show, including members of Sonic Youth and Red Kross.During the show, many (people in the) audience singed many of the songs.PSF: Shonen Knife has really toured extensively, especially in the last few years.PSF: How has Shonen Knife's music changed from when you started out?ED NOTE: Actually, they speak English better than many Americans I know) My feeling is always the same (about the music).NAOKO: That's a tough question!Sometimes the Beatles were singing about some political things but covered with their nice, cynical feelings.To me, food is more important than love for living, living life, suspending it, because we are creatures.If people are listening to nice music and being happy, it will be more use than
