"And I said oh oh oh oh oh oh oh what a feeling"

Nick Kauffman reports on seeing the film of Led Zeppelin's 2007 concert. I am awash in nostalgia. Not for Led Zeppelin, whom I somehow missed during the 70s. (Must have been listening to the wrong radio stations.) But for Tokyo in the mid-90s when I was reading Eroica yori ai wo komete. The names, dear god, the names-- James, Bonham, John-Paul. And of course Dorian himself:

Robert Plant, well, he looks exactly the same because he’s a fucking rock god and will outlive all of us.

So he does, bar the beard. And he lives on in all those 80s&90s shoujo manga-- Eroica, Belne, Swan-- where there's a character with long blond ringlets modelled on Robert Plant.

Aoike and her love of '70s rock. Heh. I remember being very tickled running across Justin Heyward of the Moody Blues in Eve no musukotachi after originally encountering Eroica. Though where she got the idea of Jimmy Page as a tiny, penny-pinching man is beyond me....
