A barrel full of monkeys would be
Quite a lot of fun
So won't you tell me
Where I can get one ?
Maybe there's a baby I can dress
Comme des Garcons
Oh yes I want one
A really cute one
There's a Vivienne Westwood baby
Here on page sixteen
Of the new edition of my favourite magazine
Keep reading Vogue Bambini
Drink a glass of dry Martini
Lie down and go BAM BAM !
Boys are just like babies
They do things that babies do
They go BAM BAM !
And bring the house down
I've got Johnson's bubble bath
I've got baby shampoo
But not the baby
The monkey won't do
With my pop star boyfriend
Sitting in our little flat
Hoping that my tummy
Will just suddenly go fat
Keep reading Vogue Bambini
Drink a glass of dry Martini
Lie down and go BAM BAM !
(Est ce que ce petit bébé est a toi mademoiselle ?
Parce que, si ce n'est pas a toi, je veux l'emporter chez moi.
Ah oui, j'aime tellement les enfants, je les aime vachement.
Regardez, dans ce mensuel Italien, les bambinis fantastiques !)

Kahimi Karie - Giapponese A Roma
Sono piccola com'e Lolita
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Sono una ragazza sola
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Con la mia Vespa
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Voglio fare la ginnastica artistica
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Modernista, Futurista
Il Duce e Fascista
Una Giapponese, bella ragazza
Solo con la mia Vespa
Via del Corso, Villa Borghese
Due cappucini per piacere
Cazzo di Dio, santa Madonna
Una Giapponese a Roma
A i giardini di Villa Borghese
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Voglio manigare i gelati
(Sono Giapponese a Roma)
Modernista, futurista
Manifestazione culunquista
Al Gianicolo
Sotto
Gli alberi di limone nel' grotto
Vogio scopare, fare l'amore
Con i ragazzi di Trastevere
Modernista, Futurista
Una Giapponese a Roma
Marinetti mangia gli spaghetti
Giorgio de Chirico beve cappucini
I ragazzi di Trastevere
Con le Lambrette e i Lamborghini
Io sono la vostra prima ballerina
Io sono prima donna discothequa
Andiamo
Allegri
Al mare in cinquo cento
Guarda il panorama
Sulla Christoforo Colombo
Madre mia, la mare
E com una bella pitura
Voglio trovare la dolce vita

Kahimi Karie - I Am a Kitten
Quand tu caresses
Ma fourrure est-ce
Que tu m'entends? "ronron"
Je sais qu'je n'suis
Qu'un chaton gris
Je veux être une personne
Mes petits yeux sont bleus chinois
Ils voient
avec tristesse
La main qui me caresse
Une main d'une autre espèce
J'aimerais
être aimée
Mais les dieux ordonnent
Tu es un être humain
Et je suis un chaton
I am a kitten
I am a kitten
Plus dormir
Pelotonnée
Avec ma boule de fil
Ne plus chasser
les papillons
Massacrer les souris
Oreilles pointues
M'intéressent plus
Et ni les queues tigrées
Depuis qu' j'ai vu
Entièrement nu
Ton corps exquis dépucelé
J'aimerais être aimée
Mais les dieux ordonnent
Toi, tu restes un être humain
Et je suis un chaton
I am a kitten
I am a kitten
Papadapa
Papadapa
Papadapa pa pa
Papadapa
Papadapa
Papadapa pa pa
J'aimerais être aimée
Mais les Dieux ordonnent
Tu es un être humain
Et je suis un chaton
I am a kitten
I am a kitten
I am a kitten
I am a kitten
Miou
カヒミ・カリィ

Kahimi Karie is an amazing Shibuya-kei musician, she was born in March 15, 1968 as 比企マリ (Hiki Mari), daughter of a major hospital doctor in Utsunomiya. She was raised by her strict father, and says she was not allowed to do things kids usually do, like watching TV, dating, etc. :S
She was influenced by Serge Gainsbourg in her teens. After graduating high school, she moved to Tokyo and entered a vocational college to study photography. After graduating, she made a short career as a freelance photographer. In 1990, her friend established a record label and Kahimi was asked to participate. She made her debut as a vocalist, alongside Takako Minekawa as the female duo "Fancy Face Groovy Name". Later in 1994 she released her first solo album "Mike Alway's Diary", which was produced by Keigo Oyamada (aka Cornelius) . At this time she was referred to as "Shibuya-kei Princess", and her personal relationship with Oyamada was highly publicized.

She later moved to Paris to pursue her career where she collaborated with Momus, who wrote her some songs. She now lives in Tokyo, and recently toured Japan with Yoshihide Otomo and Jim O'Rourke, who has also written songs for her. Her dog, a black french bulldog, is called "Gomes".
I love her cute childish wisper-like vocals!
