Courtney Love 'obsessed' with Japan

Courtney Love is "obsessed" with Japan.

In a confusing blog on her MySpace page, the former Hole singer reveals she can't get enough of a female Japanese artist.

She wrote: "Anyone Japanese know who played 'NANA' in Ai Kawazawas 'NANA' as adapted to a Japanese Teen Rock movie? I do love my Ai. I'd love to get in touch with her. Anyway - I hear she's the one to give a song to, and I'm obsessed with a Japanese female artist crossing over here – it'd be so cool."

'Nana' is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ai Yazawa that has been turned into two animated films.

Courtney, 44 – who was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994 - went on to say: "I'm sorry I feel it's somewhat racist to have blonde Gaijin pop singer with all Asian backup dancers - maybe that's the Japanese soul in me? I dunno I am so respectful of them as a country and a people."

The singer recently confessed she will never perform with an all-girl line-up again because most music created by women isn't very good.

She said: "There are f***ing riot girls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that's all really lovely, but the music blows."
