this episode brings you a selection of popular japanese vocaloid songs, each followed by lyric google translations spoken by various text-to-speech voices. looking at the cross-section of popular songs and their lyrics, we get a rather good indication and depiction of a very particular society, perhaps even an insight into the everyday lives of japanese teens up to adulthood and their realities based mostly on school, relationships, internet, loneliness etc.

this is followed by an episode of “sumatto”, found online erotic literature for women by women, text this time by fiona zedde.
