This was kinda neat, I guess. I thought the song sounded pretty catchy and the video was cartoonily outrageous and fun. But like Babymetal and some other JPOP bands that lean more to the rock/metal end of things, this just doesn't do much for me. Like, the most interesting thing about it isn't the music or the song but the fact that it's four Japanese women playing schizo noise-punk. Ok.

Since your minds were in the gutter about the name.
The name does not come from slang for ladyparts, it comes from the name of a "Love Hotel" situated near the high school of one of the band members in Osaka.
A Love Hotel is, exactly what you thought it would be.
SideHitch may remember the famous Commack Motor Inn back in his homeland….

To be fair, isn't that name even more in the gutter than a slang for ladyparts? You're telling us its a repository for multiple coitally-activated lady-toilet-areas in rapid, never-ending sexual succession. That makes slang for one, standalone ladypart look like a regular nunnery of virtue, by comparison.

Wow, that's crazy. I'm not too familiar with Jung but Seungri put out my favorite record of last year.
I'm not going to lose sleep over somebody not considering KPOP stars to be celebs.

How do you figure? Hampton Coliseum is historically a venue that only terrible, drug-addled Yada bands play at and Tool is basically the hardrock version of a terrible, drug-addled Yada band. Seems on brand.

I wouldn't expect any of you to dig deeper than the original post, but this wasn't specific to Hampton, the entire tour reads like shittiest places in America for $500 Alex.
Also, I love Hampton, still a shithole though.
