Notes

Rina Sawayama Backpacks
As the character Akira in the newest installment of the Hollywood blockbuster franchise, Rina Sawayama Backpacks is becoming the talk of the town for her brazen performance and outspoken advocacy. She also has a modeling career. Recently, the British-Japanese model and singer appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to talk about her experience at John Wick's training camp. She explained that five weeks of intensive fitness training were needed prior to the filming began.


Sawayama is the daughter of a hotel manager Wick and his friend Shimazu Koji (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) was taught by a professional team of stuntmen for the movie. The actress, who also happens to be model, revealed that she along with the rest of the cast sat for the first week doing martial arts drills in preparation for the action-packed film. She said it was extremely exhausting and hard and it helped make her more prepared for tough stunts in the sequel.



The model, 30, who is also a musician, was raised in London and attended Magdalene College at the University of Cambridge with a degree in political science. She is a vocal proponent of equality and has spoken out against racism, especially microaggressions affecting Asian people. She is pansexual and bisexual. She has written to UK Equalities minister Liz Truss to request that she ban LGBTQ transformation therapy.


Her debut album was well-received by critics. Sawayama for its ambition and raw emotion. Rina Sawayama Merch captured the agitated mood of the day, and its post-ironic sound brought to mind a turbulent life.


Its best cuts - like Comme des Garcons and Bad Friend - avoided the contrived game of lucky dip from the false metal-plus-another-genre bowl, but it was not without its weaknesses. On the extremely infectious single STFU she lamented the small-scale racism she is confronted with in her life as an Asian woman.


Rina has an innate ability to hear music. Her music choices are bold and unapologetic, but her honesty is what distinguishes her. She attracts the attention of audiences through her powerful message that raises consciousness about racism, LGBTQ+, and xenophobia.


The new album, Hold the Girl, is an improvement on her previous work. The focus is no longer on fusion for fusion's sake The album now has a more consistent sound. The title track is a mix of the intro to Madonna's Like a Prayer with a disco string flurry, set against the beat of a thumping two-step.


It's an older album that doesn't compromise its meaning. There is a still a relentless urgency in its protests against prejudice and injustice, however the lyrics are more delicateness than the previous record. This Hell has a chorus that is ideal for line dancing, and will make homophobes reconsider drinking Satan's Apple Sourz to their eternal penalty.
