Aya Hirano is not my definition of a ‘Riot Grrrl’
What is with Aya Hirano’s title for her debut album ‘Riot Girl’? I always thought of Riot Girl as a radical feminist movement related to independent DIY punk. What exactly makes Hirano a radical feminist? It must be all those suggestive photo shoots of Hirano, clothes all wet, lying in a bathtub with bedroom eyes. Or maybe her radical feminist agenda is portrayed in her swimsuit publicity photos? I don’t see a girl with a great personality, I don’t see a girl I can idolise and respect for her artistic integrity. I see a sex object.
Aya Hirano actually means to say that she's a 'riot' in bed

@otou-san It is possible that she is misunderstanding ‘Riot Grrrl’ ethics with watered down bubblegum pop friendly ‘Girl Power’. Although even if she isn’t ill meaning I still find it frustrating when popular artists attach false titles to themselves, regardless of what they know.
@Kairu Ishimaru Well, I’m glad to see you have an intellectual opinion on the subject.

Yeah, I had someone else telling me about that.
I have no idea why. It doesn’t even show up for moderation.

“What exactly makes Hirano a radical feminist?”
I laugh for 5 minutes.
Aya Hirano, she is punk as fuck.

[...] Nana Mizuki performed the OP, but Aya Hirano’s singing was nowhere to be found. I guess being a riot girl just wasn’t enough for the studio! I also love how this show is bound to become a hit for the [...]
