[Album] J-Pop: An Introduction (and discussion)

And then I found out about Shiina Ringo. Sweet shitake, I'm in love with this woman. I just spent the entire weekend watching her single and Tokyo Jihen PVs. She's just so different from anything I've ever heard, I can't get enough. It's no wonder they based a Guilty Gear character on her. And yet off-stage she seems so modest and polite in stereotypical Japanese fashion. I'm just really depressed she got rid of her mole (well, one of them), even thought it was a long time ago. I bet the reaction back then was like when Pamela Anderson got rid of her implants.

its sad but thats how my friend got into Morning Musume too
that ring vid is too popular haha
and i agree the mini moni movie was trash but anything with mari in it gets a A+ from me ^__^

yes more shiina / tokyo Jihen fans
she indeeds rock her vids always has me in tranced position O.O
but i didn't know I-No was inspired by her till you said that
you learn something everyday

Hmm, interesting, a lot of people do like the PV, and I have to say I quite like the Aruiteru PV also. The other good news on the Morning Musume front was that they spent the first week at number 1, which is great.

i did sort of like till the end where they were all happy high fiving each other but they sort of missed i was like urg.. haha

I have a good number of PVs up for direct download at my media blog. I haven't gotten around to reuploading a large portion of the broken links on it, however, so you'll have to live with what I've got up. The broken links are in posts dated prior to September 1st

Awesome blog will be grabbbing a few off there thanks

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

that yuko-chan performance was nice i really liked the song and she ages nicely

the new Morning Musume album is hot. not what i expected from the group that made sugar pop songs awhile back.

I was speaking idiomatically.
