I was over at iTunes, put Yukimi Nagano's name in the search and came up with no results. Turns out of course that tracks she appeared on are available, it's ...
Wondering what people think about The Twelve Girls Band (http://www.twelvegirlsband.com) - a group that was created in Shanghai China, recording for a Japanese...
... Thanks ... I expected that I might have overlooked a few tracks, remixes in particular. Hopefully this list will get a LOT longer in the coming years. ...
... I have their EASTERN ENERGY CD/DVD combo. A bit "new age"-like at times, but the traditional Chinese instruments set it apart from the rest of the pack...
I'm totally Johnny come lately to the discussion of this mag, however if you aren't familiar with INTERVIEW they are . . . now were IMO "the" hip New York mag,...
Which kids' channel did you see it on besides Nickledeon? Looks are always a factor and people will wonder how good they really are. I've heard that they will...
... Actually I was educated-guessing Nickelodeon ... I'd be on the computer and one of 'em would run in and mention that the ad was on, but I wasn't paying...
... I haven't read INTERVIEW regularly, but most of the issues I've bought have gone beyond comparable coverage in other magazines. I remember one issue quite...
Not sure if I mentioned this before. A lot of my posts tend to wind up unapproved or whatever despite seeming on-topic to me. Anyway here's a little interview...
... M.I.A. is a noteworthy and upcoming artist to watch out for. Mini-feature on her can be found at http://us_asians.tripod.com/new-05-04.html#mia ... Is...

Mion moved to L.A., I guess she moved from Seattle with her husband and dancers. Saw her perform in L.A. with her dancers with tracks. Do you think that her...
Hello S::L ... I got an e-mail with some new releases that may be of interest, so I'll post a few of them here that may be of interest so some group members: ...
... Hard to say. Focusing on Japan for the sake of this thread, most J-pop r&b/soul/hip-hop artists sing primarily in Japanese, and while there is at least...
I'm for supporting APA music artists. Since her music isn't hardcore in r&b/hip-hop/rap/etc., it appears to be focused more towards the younger youths. / J....

looks like Puffy is back for an east coast + chicago tour in August. I'm glad b/c I was a tad miffed when I saw the west coast dates (tix went onsale yesterday...
... It's a matter of getting the old school critics over the "Japanese novelty music" hump. Funny, one of my editors has been enlightened, so to speak, by his...
... Thanks for the link. I added the ep to an open pre-order but it won't arrive until early July. The preview songs have a more stripped-down acoustic feel...
... Whether or not there's some truth to that statement, it seems as if in the USA most of the Japanese groups with females in them (totally or in part) that...
... It's actually a combination of Set Free on Flower and ?? (7 Colours) on tokuma. Better to get those two than this comp. Althought it's the first time some...
... re: Jazztronik SAMURAI ... Well that's a selling point right there since I don't have any of the vinyls. (I assume that was a typo and you meant the first...
Set Free on Flower actually saw a vinyl release, but the pressing went pretty quickly. I was lucky enough to get a hold of one when it came out. 7 Colors on...
