Teenage Dream Girls

The "Tokyo Girls Collection" fashion show has become a social and economic phenomenon. Teenage audience members – some 20,000 in all – buy the clothes the models are wearing right in front of them, in real time. Their social media posts affect the year's clothing trends. People in Kitakyushu, quite a distance from Tokyo, thought their community could use that sort of event. So, they staged their own version of it. Tune in to see young people taking to the catwalk as their industrial city finds itself in fashion.

“The Rebel Kind” is the third volume in our occasional series of beat-centric female pop compilations. Think 1960s girl groups, but with guitars galore and attitude aplenty. Get the picture?
Half the tracks here are by genuine guitar-wielding all-girl bands, including the Debutantes from Detroit, the Girls from Los Angeles, Goldie & the Gingerbreads from New York, Pinky Chicks from Japan, the Ace Of Cups from San Francisco and Italian quartet the Honeybeats. It might seem somewhat unlikely, but the Chantels are the featured musicians on the instrumental ‘Peruvian Wedding Song’. Thanks to classics such as ‘He’s Gone’ and ‘Maybe’, it’s beyond all doubt that Arlene Smith and her colleagues could really sing. Who knew they could also play?
