"Yayoi Daimon - Niodachi in the heel MV reaction: Unexpectedly Good!"

Yayoi Daimon is someone who I do not expect to see in the Japanese music scene. A bold , sexy rapper who is unabashadly growling and threatening. When one thinks of Japanese music you primarily you have your Jpop Idols and your Utada Hikarus or Namie Amuro's. Almost all of Japanese music is aimed at Japanese people but when you see someone like Yayoi you cannot help but feel that the Japanese are actually branching out into territory that they have not touched before.
I was watching a group called Banana Lemon that is decidedly Japanese but oozes with western rap music influences. Yayoi is another side of Japanese rap , sexy and menacing. Someone like Niki Minaj or Nikee Heaton. While the latter two Western artists are no doubt sexy Yayoi adds to the fact that she is conquering a market devoid of these particular figures. That is if you do not factor in Kpop and I believe that artists like Yayoi is a response to Kpop , K -rap dominance in the region. I mean Giant Pink and Yayoi can be played side by side and you feel the same vibes coming off each other.
Strong , confident and unashamedly sexy.
