My Life In Fandom: The Living Goddess of Music Has a YT Channel

In case you missed it, there is an official YouTube channel for Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts.

Late last night/early this morning (Central Time) these two videos went up on the channel. Since it opened last week they've done four of these at-home performances that Yoko produced into the videos you see, plus the one they did with a whole bunch of others for a Cowboy Bebop tribute. Watch for yourselves.

Yes, in all three Yoko appears. No, she doesn't sing, and for the "TANK!" video she's literally toasting half a bagel and eating it while chilling in her bathrobe as she plays on her keyboard. That's a level of amused mastery that most men never achieve.

That spirit is how I picture her doppelganger behaving in my books, and it's good to see it in action. More of that to come.

Subscribe to the channel, and if you're a musician that's keen on getting in on the action then you'll want to follow the link in the Description.
