Flower With No Color

Yuka Honda first met Yoshimi at CBGB's, circa 1993. She went to see the Boredoms, Yuka was blown away by this powerful female drummer! They were friends from that night on and always stayed in touch. A little known fact, but Yoshimi actually played in Cibo Matto on the bands first tour of Japan. Later Yuka lent her talents to Yoshimi’s OOIOO album. Making this album with was a very personal experience for the ladies. Yuka stayed at Yoshimi’s house. They cooked all their meals together. They climbed a mountain (Mt. Ikoma) with a tiny pick up truck filled with instruments and a bottle of plum wine that Yuka’s mom made. All of the basic tracks are recorded while they were driving in the truck (you can hear the sound of the truck driving through the mountain roads), and they stopped at a temple where thousands of birds were singing. Shoji drove and recorded us binaurally, and spy supervised. They took this tape to a studio and did overdubs then mixed them. It's been ten years since they met...
