Omanko’ is a simple noise-punk track about a Japanese Jesus and Christmas, yet the title adds another layer – it being the only word really censored from Japanese media.
Yeah which is weird, it’s slang for female genitalia, yet it’s the only word that’s banned. Justin [Raisen, producer] were doing the song for fun, after we found out we both liked Suicide. And he said “Okay Sky, we’ll do this real poppy song then **** around and do this other one,” so I said alright. We recorded ‘Heavy Metal Heart’ or ‘I Blame Myself’, then we did that for fun. Then we thought it actually sounded really good, and it just fit in the album.
I hate when people think it’s racist in some way, because it’s the complete opposite. I remember being in Japan and seeing a huge costume store in Tokyo, and they had a white Jesus and a white Santa, and I was like “Why are they still white here?”
On Miley
Sky and Miley are close pals, and she’s supporting our former cover star on her Bangerz tour beginning this month.
“We actually talked about her hair when she cut it. She just bleached it more. We always talk about our hair getting chopped off and breaking, we always say “I miss my long hair, I miss my long hair!” and then we’ll cut all our hair off right after. Because there’s always that weird in-between stage where you’re like ‘do I wait through this or do I just cut it again?’. Growing out your hair is annoying. Miley is doing that with a short bob."
On tanning
Born and raised in LA, Sky is akin to the sunshine, but sensibly she’s not the type to beach-bake and takes care in the sun.
“I naturally tan really quickly
because my family is Brazilian - I’m not actually white. Everyone in my family is way darker than me. I definitely can’t sit on the beach and bake. I get freckles all over and I turn brown. I kinda look crazy when I have a tan and white hair!”
