I’m sure I don’t need to remind Asobi Seksu fans that the band’s name roughly translates as “fun sex,” so I won’t, even though I did. Teeny tiny Yuki (small singer night!) is Asian (obvious) and they all call New York home. So, sexy name + Asian singer

Since most of the heavy lifting was already written about Shoegaze Asobi Seksu at the tiny 7th Street Entry a few days prior (in 2009), we decided to just publish some photos from New York’s Bowery Ballroom with this brief description: “The band was deafening. Yuki was adorable. The crowd swooned. All in all, it was a very successful night and an emotional victory for anyone below the 5’2” mark.”

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the original photos are no longer available online. The photo used below is taken from a public image via ZimmyD.

Openers were probably the same bands: Anna Ternheim and Loney Dear.
