Half Japanese - 1,000,000,000 Kisses

[daggerheart03]

I just got into Half Japanese yesterday, first song by them I've listened to !

[jesperjnielsen]

I just love this song

[TheJohnnyRoach]

one million kisses is the version sung by jad fair. on the album this is one billion kisses

[sbgog93]

poopy sex hole in my ass har. har. hard.

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@sbgog93 ha ha ha

[deekante]

Who cares if its a million or a billion? Either way it's a shitload of zeroes.

[TheFinlandnator]

Billion (USA) = 10^9

Miljardi, milliarde, milliardo or milliard etc. (rest of the world) = 10^9

1 000 000 000 = 10^9

[grzesieksz]

fuck. I got sacked today moring. Now the only good thing to do is to listening HJ

[joerocker27]

anybody know the chords for this?

[honeypower]

@joerocker27 The only chords they use are the one's to plug in the guitar to the amp.

[batterycock]

i got the new "best of jad fair" CD and this song is on it but in rougher demo form plus its called "1,000,000,000 kisses"....

[DJkevvykev]

Never heard this before - thanks for posting!

Coachbk1 has this exactly right...

[TheGreatAvocado]

most underrated band ever -.-

[phucketification]

im would like to pick up some half japanese but i don't know where to start.....

[acrobaticcyclops]

@phucketification The Band That Would Be King ... or greatest hits

[phucketification]

@acrobaticcyclops thank you

[Bram25]

I recognize a lot of Beck and the Pixies sounds. Great stuff.

[cardigansarecool]

Is this really Jad singing?

[fruitbatrepublic]

@cardigansarecool No. This is Don Fleming.

[humdeabril]

such a good song!

[DravenX53]

They were pavement, but way before pavement. think about it.

[phrraP]

@DravenX53 nah, ur an idiot :)

[FadlanEffendi]

Can anybody tell me where they got their band name from lol?

[phrraP]

@FadlanEffendi iirc they pulled random 2 words out of a hat and got half and japanese.

[coachbk1]

This song is pop music perfection. Sounds like the Violent Femmes doing a Jonathan Richman song.

[Starvoid7]

ahh..come on you guys! what's bad about 1 billion kisses? : )

: D

better then a million :D

; )

Half Japanese rule!

[Jojos25]

change the title please, its 1M not 1B kisses

[pcindarellie]

we've been over this here, but i'll say again, in other words, yes, 1B was a mistake, but...its fun seeing who notices.

[TheMgrund]

@pcindarellie BUUUUUUUURRRRNNNEEEDD

[sirspookington]

@pcindarellie

that's dumb just take away 3 of the zeros

[CANDOKNOWHOW]

@pcindarellie IB kisses is like a humongous UPGRADE anyways, everyone should be so lucky!!!

[ashreid20]

@pcindarellie it says one-thousand-million, not one billion.

[nguerra1991]

@pcindarellie i agree

signed,

a mathematician

[KevinHeaven9]

@Jojos25 No, the title is correct... 1,000,000 kisses is sung by jad fair.. 1,000,000,000 kisses is this track

[fifle]

@Jojos25

wtf? stop trying to be a know it all, and look shit up, it is 1b

[zazeify]

Jad might like that you multiplied his song by 1,000!!!!!

YES!!

One BILLION kisses!!!!

[ApplwPiw]

you're tools. Jad is much more talented and amazing than Daniel ever was.<FACT. Half Japanese didnt rip him off.<FACT.. so stfu and enjoy this brilliance.

[horrorshowmalchick]

It's not a competition, silly!

[God3luv]

Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair played music together...

[pcindarellie]

well, i guess that explains the copycatting. thank you, obi wan! (bowed head)

[pcindarellie]

(ps, i like that casper, the friendly ghost song by daniel, from the kids soundtrack.)

[God3luv]

as two musicians who thought there already existing styles would mesh well...

[hernanbox]

Daniel Johntson copycat

[pcindirellie]

that may be, but half jap has been around since77...perhaps they were influence by the same music..? at any rate, whoever came up with it, this is a great song.

[batterycock]

anyone know how do you play this, what chords, seems easy?

[lukeashmoore]

G F and D minor. its not correct but it is fun to add the D minor in the chorus.

[Badacebass]

I really wish I could buy this album somewhere

[punkerton360]

you can download this from anywhere if you look.

[deengew]

If he diddint have that voice and that good hook, i think this would be pretty bad.

[BANGBANGvertigo]

So I'm going through my little book of bands recommended to me... These guys are just uber cool. Don't remember where I heard of them, but I'm glad I did.

[Sachie63]

haha, it's one MILLION kisses. NOT BILLION.  hehe. someone can't count.

[crieff405]

That someone is YOU. One thousand million.

[digimini]

Hmmmm...I think that one thousand million is a billion.

[haitipi]

I guess that shows what side of the pacific your on. Since these chuckle heads are unfortunately from the US, that was a Billion.

[whyhedodat]

LOL ARE YOU SURE HAHAHAHHAHA

[pcindarellie]

hahaha

i think someone mentioned that a while ago. never bothered to change it. its fun to see who notices. glad are people are listening to this song.

[MisterHoneydog]

@Sachie63

Or someone likes 1 billion kisses better than 1 million :-)

[mauvewolf]

Yeah, i saw the documentary and was blown away- 1/2 Jap flew by my radar til that moment- on excercise bicycle at the gym,watching doc while  peddling like a retarded hamster for a friggin hour- breathtaking is a good word for their music and energy- gotta raid the local music store for 1/2 jap, as soon as i have some money, which probably wont be soon, thank Gawd for youtube!!!

[JoyGrenade]

Two chords. Brilliant.

[alucardisdumb]

i watched a doc on this band once

"the band that would be king"?

this is all too hipster laden for my liking

[EQuestionmark]

I think you have it backwards...

This is a band that isn't self conscious.

but w/e...

[Daxmcneil377]

Anybody know what tuning they're using? I like the sound of it.

[bigredlevy]

yeah, they call it "out of tune" haha

love it eh

[JimiHindrex]

sounds like standard tuning to me, G and Am?

[Kravis63]

yeah, that is what it is. But it sounds like the strings are pretty worn and it was tuned to standard E, but not checked to make sure it was perfect.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

they don't tune their guitars,

[itakun94]

They said they don't tune their guitars.

[Beefgog]

Can some on post Put Some Sugar on It

[TimNicholas]

lol

[AdlejandroP]

yes cause they are "alternative" so they detuned it on purporse Yeaaahhh we are so different

[Awesomo4003]

that cover is pretty amazing coolest thing ever

[snifty]

it's all good... 999 million more kisses in the world can't be a bad thing :P

going to see half japanese this weekend \o/

[snifty]

lol, you wrote 1 billion.

[pcindirellie]

LOL

no one has ever noticed before...including me

[LulzAtYourFace]

Thats how its actually listed on the album, as 1 billion.

Half Japanese rule.

[Timmybear]

I prefer the version sung by Jad, rather than Don, but both are nice.

[fernakoma]

jaja iconoclastas y anarquistas punk pop.

[maniacpro]

picture.

[KrapaiBatai]

hehe lmao
