Description:
Well, here it is. My latest English song. When you are an asian bloke, it's so hard to get the attention from ladies. (At least that's what I thought while I lived in England years ago!) You are short. You are skinny. And you look like a teenager when you are the oldest of the bunch! So here it goes! Enjoy.

Lyrics:
minority minority

being short
being bored
won't make it easier
peanuts eyes
with short sight
won't take me nowhere

take a look around take a good look
this time it's off the hook
so get out of my yellow skin

minority minority
oh somebody notice me
being japanese isnt easy
ladies whats wrong with me?

ill-equipped
or shall i say
modestly-equipped

jet lee
in abercrombie
but feel like im not welcomed

take a look around take a good look
this time it's off the hook
so get out of my yellow skin

minority minority
oh somebody notice me
being japanese isnt easy
ladies whats wrong with me?

I almost took off, when I heard the loud sounds. But I have to admit, you
hooked me with those words and the music has a lot of soul it seems to
me. Nice rock stuff!

Nice, fast, and catchy!!! Found myself singing "minority" after the first
time i heard it. Good drumworks, is it loops or...?

What better way to get the chicks... &mdash 12/03/05 - 06:19:40 PM
...than with rock 'n' roll.

This one rocks, JH. It's got a great hook and a great sound. I love the
lyrics. They're light and amusing, but you can tell there's a lot of feeling
behind them. The production is great. Enjoyed it very much.

Nice to see how easy it seems for you to switch between calm, heartfelt
songs to these rockin' punk tracks!
Excellent beat and a good performance. You really are a great songwriter.
Good job!

Clever songwriting &mdash 12/04/05 - 12:00:25 AM
Like the different rhythms and the sounds. The electric / acoustic guitar
idea is nice. The guitar solo's are excelent as well.

This is very impressive all round.

If you keep writing stuff like this you won't have too many problems with
the chicks....

This is really cool, and I don't mean in the novelty song sort of way. I
laughed, not at your plight, but at your sense of humor about being
different.

Mighty Stuff &mdash 01/17/06 - 05:16:04 AM
Wow, what a perfect mix such tight vocals, energy, verve and brilliant
honest topic, I've listened to a lot of your back catalogue and I'm really
impressed, one of the most vibrant/best Macjam contributors I've heard
to date. Early Elvis Costello(best period) surfaces occassionally, but you
are unique. any chance of you explaining your method, do you play
everything, what's the story. Thanks.

Mighty Stuff &mdash 01/17/06 - 06:43:18 PM
Hiya Willywaga! Thank you very much for listening and taking time to comment! Wow! This has got to be one of the best compliments I ever got in my life, man!! I think somebody mentioned Elvis Costello thing before, but actually I have not listened to his music much. Maybe it's my voice that reminds of him? Not sure... (BTW, I am a huge U2 fan and they are coming to Japan at last in April!!! Yippiee!!) And yes, I play all the instruments and programming and singing. But I would love to do collaboration also. I did one song with Leon who brought amazing vocals in my song, Afterglow. And.... um... that's about it. Cheers again, Willy!

What a birthday gift &mdash 01/23/06 - 08:56:32 AM
The date on your "last update" indicates you submitted this on my
birthday. Sorry, I was out of town and missed it. What a great track. Solid
writing, great rhythmic play, and extremely catchy chorus. A-plus. I gotta
ask, tho, why didn't you just play for the ladies? How could they resist
such a great songwriter, performer? I would have included the remark
about being "skinny" so that the song could have also related more to
geeks and other non-asian groups that feel passed over by girls. Still, a
great track.

What a birthday gift &mdash 01/25/06 - 01:32:33 AM
Hello Tobin! Thank you very much for your comment! Well, yeah, the song could be reaching to the whole geeky boys around the world. Last time I performed for the opening of this local small surf shop, I did get the attention from this really perfectly gorgeous girl, and I got a pictured proof of that moment!! And you could see her in the key art of my new song "Trying To Be A Good Boy"!

Brilliant &mdash 08/08/08 - 10:28:59 PM
Production is incredible. I love the sound of those guitars. I also really liked the timing in the chorus 3/4 5/4 3/4 3/4. The guitar sound was amazing. The production on this one is fantastic.
