"Pop, Pop, Pop Music"

"'I didn't know who Nirvana were before that, but they looked wild, and I was so scared, so I didn't want to tour with them at first,' laughs Naoko. 'But by the end of the tour we became friends. Kurt Cobain gave it everything he had every night, screaming and playing guitar so hard, so I respected Nirvana's attitude towards playing music a lot.' The other support band, Captain America, were pelted with cups by the audience at a gig in Kilburn, London. 'But since we were all female and we had come from a faraway country, the audience treated us more politely.'"
