More J-Pop
15 November, 2008

The time has again come to share my appreciation of the wild and wonderful world of J-Pop with others. So here is a selection of songs performed by popular musicians from Japan. I've tried to provide a variety of sounds, from Nanase Aikawa's hard edginess, to Judy and Mary's delightful post-punk quirkiness, to Coconuts Musume's upbeat silliness. I was hoping to include some of the songs Yuki Isoya (the leader singer of Judy and Mary) has done with Kate Pierson of the B-52's, but I couldn't find any of them. Nonetheless, I hope you will enjoy what I have included.

"Music Fighter" by Judy and Mary
