Mónica Boixeda

Cansei de Ser Sexy is one of the most famous bands in Brazil. The group was formed in São Paulo in 2003 and have made it to where they are today because through a surprisingly innovative way they managed to mix influences and styles such as rock, pop, electronic music and even other types of art such as film, design and fashion. actually they are famous for going on stage with eccentric psychedelic patterned embossed clothes and completely ripped stockings in the purest grunge style. Add all of this to their careless alternative image that give them a special rock star aura that everyone tries to imitate and you have a hell of a fun crazy band. The history of this band is very interesting. After its formation, except the drummer, none of its members could play an instrument at a live performance. Over time as it was obvious they had to evolve and learn to play and eventually they did it to perfection. The name of the band, they once mentioned, was chosen after reading an interview where Beyoncé declared that she was tired of being sexy. They felt it was a silly statement and for that reason, decided to translate it into Portuguese and then was chosen to name the band Soon they began to become more and more popular until they appeared in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper and from that moment they grew with strength and eventually ended playing as guest bands for established groups and with great public like 2 Many DJs and Kraftwerk. The band has four albums and their latest release...

For example, one of the videos that accompany the exhibition shows a giant stag-headed boy named Seito-kun who represents the city of Nara Heijo-kyo … Or the bizarre fairy called Namisuke with huge and slightly bulging eyes shaped as a teardrop, which was chosen as a symbol by the inhabitants of the Suginami district of Tokyo. Upon entering the exhibition hall a nearly life-size reproduction of one of the characters the Neon Genesis Evangelion welcomes us … Throughout the exhibition halls you will see Pokemon models of different sizes , and other Doreamons characters that are less known in the West. We are witnessing as we go by the exhibition the enormous importance pets have in many levels in Japanese society where curiously even in police stations, posters key chains or local pet merchandise can be found Perhaps the most intriguing installation is the reproduction of a possible Hello Kitty Japanese teen fans room. where...
