Are you Mean Machine? Mean Machine is a rock 'n' roll girl band. Mean Machine is the idea of only doing what you want. Mean Machine is living now, pleasurably, freely, and strongly. Mean Machine is certainly not only five people. You might be Mean Machine, too.       Mean Machine is the definition of girly rock. The band's whole purpose was to have fun, do something they'd never done before, and pull it off well and with style anyway. Despite having just learned their instruments and hardly being technically skilled, these girls rocked, seemingly effortlessly.       Chiwaki and Chara started Mean Machine on a whim, and began asking friends to join. They decided on the themes on the band as "have fun", "cute with pheromones", and "play an instrument you never have before". As each girl began experimenting with her instrument, she also began writing songs specifically for the band, gradually collecting an album's worth of songs. Despite it not necessarily being an original intention, the girls played with the idea of recording, and finally agreed on making their debut (and only) album, CREAM. Ayumi (Vo.)       Ayumi Itou. Co-starred with Chara in Shunji Iwai's "Swallowtail" as Ageha, and winning her the Japanese Academy Award for best new actress and best supporting actress.   http://www.humanite.co.jp/human08.html       To me, Mean Machine is something like a family. Because of that, I want to make a family with many of the same vibrations. Enjoy it with us. Chiwaki (G.)       Mayumi Chiwaki. Her solo debut was "Good Morning, I Love You" in 1985.
