J-Pop/J-Rock update incoming!

J-Rock/Jazz. Me Rikey. The group’s name is Tokyo Jihen, and they actually sing in English, which is unusual.

Next up is my favorite J-Pop song/singer of all time. Namie Amuro, with Body feels EXIT. Don’t ask, I have no idea. It’s another case of Engrish; English in Japan is cool, even if it’s used horribly, horribly wrong. This is one of those examples, but I literally have been following this talented singer’s career for over a decade. This J-Pop song was and is my first love.

Lastly, I’ll feature probably the most popular J-Rock group EVER in Japan, Mr. Children, or ミスチル (Misuchiru) as they’re more commonly known in Engrish. They have sold over some ludicrious number like 50+ million albums. Their songs are generally upbeat or ballads, and I do like them a LOT.

Finally, really finally, I will leave you with a young Britney Spears appearing on my favorite Japanese Music TV show called “Hey Hey Hey Music Champ!” featuring a couple famous Japanese comedians named Ma-chan and Hama-chan. The way Ma-chan talks to Britney is exactly how my mom spoke to my friend Shige when I took him home for the first time; louder than necessary and it didn’t help him understand any better, but was funny as hell.
