Cet album hommage aurait pu être un pari douteux et discréditer Cocoon, mais la touche si personnelle de ce duo, s’insinuant dans chacune des notes de ces tubes donnent l’alchimie Cocoon et fait sonner ces hits au plus juste !
On retrouve dans l’interprétation de ces tubes internationaux, la toute douceur et la toute mélancolie qu’on reconnait bien comme la touche perso de Cocoon. Vous savez, ce sentiment d’être bercé par une mélodie dont les paroles peuvent s’avérer dures et trash, mais cela fait des chansons toutes douces et particulières!
Ainsi vous reconnaitrez en écoutant cet EP, les chansons suivantes : « American Boy » et « Say my Name » pour n’en citer que deux, on vous laisse découvrir le reste.
As an accomplished all-around musician, Minekawa's musical skills set her firmly outside of the J-Pop "idol" tradition: she writes and composes most of her material, singing quirky lyrics about subjects such as clouds, cats, and the color white (her personal favorite), with her love of Kraftwerk and French Pop Music[1] also showing through her unique experimental sound. She often makes use of vintage Casio keyboards[1] and analog Moog synthesizers,[2] as well as vocoders and other electronic instruments.
Her live debut was in 1990, calling herself Mamene Kirerie as a member of the group Fancy Face Groovy Name alongside Kahimi Karie and backed by Flipper's Guitar. She was also a member of the band L⇔R before releasing her solo debut, Chat Chat in 1994.[citation needed]
Although as a child Minekawa had a short acting career, this interest has not resurfaced in her adult life (aside from her voice exclaiming "PlayStation!" in a recent commercial for the product).[citation needed]
She has written professionally, as regular columnist in the Japanese edition of Keyboard Magazine; she also contributed a serialized novel to the Japanese quarterly Bungei.[citation needed]
She married fellow musician Keigo Oyamada (aka Cornelius) in 2000.[3] The pair have collaborated on several projects. Cornelius remixed some of her songs, including the well-received "Milk Rock". He also produced her album Fun9.
