Think Pink Radio

* Takaki Fujishima

There I was, surfing my little heart out when I came across a Japanese equivalent to Think Pink Radio: Queer Music Experience. A guy named Takaki Fujishima has been involved in his local queer indie scene and started a web site/blog with posts about music for the benefit of his community. I tried my best write a short and cheerful email to Takaki introducing him to Think Pink Radio and hoping we could maybe e-connect and work together. A little while later, I got an equally cheerful response, and this week Takaki was nice enough to write a post on his site. Google’s translator is actually pretty terrible, but one seemingly possible quote from QME is:

Think Pink Radio, the blog on the premise that the Japanese have read is not on the course all written in English. But, audio files and links to YouTube video tape with plenty of it, try clicking on them alone, and I think there’s quite a bit of fun, I think.

Indeed, it’s tough to try and get through a website in Japanese, but his “LGBT Music TOP 100″ post is just that, his best picks running the spectrum from Elton John to the Gossip and almost every one has a youtube video. He re-posted the Rhythm King & Her Friends video and had this to say:

I have the clip was funny VIDEO the eyelash with a mustache and a nose under the opinion that I sing just stuck.

It’s a love-it-gruel.

I’ve always felt that Think Pink Radio is unique and lucky to be able to do what we do in Chicago. It must be even more rare and with more luck that Takaki can run Queer Music Experience in Japan. I’m so happy to have found an e-mate!!
