Genki Rockets 「元気ロケッツ」

Learning the adjective げんき made me think of a Japanese music group. Genki Rockets げんきロケッツ is an electronic J-pop project with a fictional character Lumi, as the face of the band.  Lumi is a computer rendered character and her voice is a hybrid of voice samples from vocalists Nami Miyahara and Japanese-American Rachel Rhodes. The story is that Lumi is the first human born in space, sometime in the future when humans are forced to evacuate the earth.  In live performances (kinda) Lumi is present as a holograph on stage, とても おもしろくて あたらしい コンサートです。Though produced in 日本, most all the songs are in えいご。ぼくは ときどき 元気ロケッツのおんがくを ききます。げんきなおんがく ですね。haha, though I think 先生 might have said genki should only be used for people..
