Ok, there is this song by the GorillaZ that's called "19-2000". The guitarist for the band is this little japanese chick, and she is saying something in this song that sounds like "get the cool shoe-shine" but it's actually japanese. If anyone can d/l the song and tell me wtf she is saying I'll give you...well...um...respect! Yea, respect and a box of your favorite breakfast product!

My favorite breakfast product does not come in a box, so no dice.

I'm pretty sure she's actually saying "get the cool shoe-shine". But you never know.

Well, in the video, that line is matched with some Chinese/Japanese writing that lights up karaoke-style. So I figured she was saying something in Chinese. But it sounds like "Get the cool shoe-shine" which probably translates to "I have a parrotfish" or something like that if you say it wrong.

No. The official website says that it is "Get the cool shoeshine." Besides, it fits with the first verse of the song. So there. And if it was an Asian language at all, it would be Japanese, since both "Noodle" and Miho Hatori are Japanese.mmmm... I love that song,,,

The Japanese borrowed the kanji system from the Chinese, that's why on the warning labels on TVs and stuff, the Chinese and Japanese characters look the same.

Has anybody seen the actual performers? The website has cartoons, the live shows has the people behind screens, it's all just a bit too weird. Also, the Japanese girl is supposed to be 15 in real life. My bet is that all the members are 12-16, and they'll unveil themselves and show people that age matters not in society. Maybe it's just my funked up view.

Nah, they're adults. I think Miho is, too. See if they have back issues at www.mc2mag.com. Look for the issue with Gorillaz on the cover. They have pictures of the actual members in that. They all appear to be in their twenties.
