Kiku Kimonolisa

Saiko Mikan

Back in late 2004, we had our first celebrity interview (kind of).  Americas Number One Japanese Go Go Band, the inimitable Gaijin A Go Go.  

Well, I say interview…But what actually happened was I emailed them a bunch of questions and got them to interview themselves (how professional of me).

And so, to celebrate our 10th Birthday, I thought it was time to right this wrong and invited them back on via Skype (across three different timezones) so I could talk to them in person.  

Since we last ‘talked’ to them, Gaijin A Go Go has gone on an extended hiatus so I caught up with, arguably, the most important members: Petra Hanson (Kiku Kimonolisa) and Sanford Santacroce (Saiko Mikan) and we discussed everything from the history and creation of the band to life after Gaijin and a number of things inbetween (including the new Godzilla, toilet restaurant shit curry and Fixxology)

Here’s a couple of links mentioned in the interview:

I had a fantastic time as they are both interesting and entertaining and it was great to get to finally chat to them in person.  
I’d like to end with a  big thank you to Petra and Sanford and let’s hope it’s not nearly 10 years before we talk again.
