F*cking Australians.
THE ADULT FILM MINUTE: Once per month, except for occasionally when it’s more frequent than that, Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals will tell us a little bit about what’s going on in adult entertainment and why it should matter to you.
Here are some things I’ve learned about Ladybeard.
1. Ladybeard is a singer and pro-wrestler from Australia, now living in Japan.
2. Ladybeard performs a style of music he’s dubbed “Kawaiicore” – heavy metal covers of J-pop songs.
3. Ladybaby, Ladybeard’s new supergroup, features him and singers Rie Kaneko and Rei Kuromiya. Their first music video features a track called “Nippon Manju” (“Japanese Bun”), an ode to their favorite things about Japan.
4a. The typical J-pop group – or idol unit – generally only features “kawaii” performers (or idols) – cute, cutesy costumed teenage girls singing peppy music.
4b. Though he’s definitely cute, Ladybeard is clearly not a teenage girl.
Honestly? I’m in love. Here’s “Nippon Manju” \m/
Here’s an interview with Ladybeard on Tokyo Desu.
Also, Metal Injection approves.
(What does Ladybaby have to do with porn? Nothing, I just love them.)
