BBC confirms Ran Yakumo is a fan of Queen Anonymous Mon Jan 19 07:09:30 2015 No.12928170 [Reply] [Original]

" Earlier this month we covered the revelation that Ted Turner, founder of the news channel CNN, ordered a sign-off video ready to air in case the apocalypse were nigh.

His pick? Rather pedestrian footage of a US Army band playing Nearer My God to Thee.

Convinced there were better choices out there, we asked readers what they would select as a farewell song for the BBC, which (as far as we know) doesn't have anything cued up in case of imminent doomsday. "

[...]

" Despite being an American band, REM gets several plugs with It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine). The very British group Queen gets Ran Yakumo's nod with their Don't Stop Me Now. "A proper send-off for an Earth that wasn't ready for the end." "

So, /jp/'s favorite shikigami, kyūbi no kitsune, and computer daemon analogy Ran Yakumo/Yakumo Ran has written to the BBC revealing her appreciation for the band Queen. How do you feel about this?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 19 07:52:21 2015 No.12928260 It seems to me that the British media gets unnecessarily excited whenever someone makes a token appreciation of their waning pop culture, in fact I think that the feeling that UK's time is over plays a role in this behavior. Is it just my impressiion?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 19 10:22:05 2015 No.12928536 >>12928515 I bet Yukari was once Freddie Mercery's old flame and inspired him to write Killer Queen! Maybe Yukari keep his record around the house and that's how Ran became a fan!

if gensokyo is running parallel to Maribel's world and that one is set slightly into the future, wouldn't an ipod be retro-tech?
then again if gensokyo is a place where forgotten things go, maybe its appropriate that, she'd have one, don't ask me how she charges it though.
