Wow yoru na3x was so awesome. As I examine it, the molecular components of that video are largely win based, superceding the inferior carbon based fodder around it....
I enjoyed that video too much. I really liked the way the kanji was displayed, it was cool. It really reminded me of a MAD I would see on nico nico.... It looked more fan made than professional, which is a huge compliment, imo. Oh yea, the deformed armless kawaii ningyo doll thingie was also win, just incase you were wondering!

J-pop is heavily influenced by western music which is why it's excluded from the narrow definition...

-OFF TOPIC-
"Hey, you wanna go get a pop?" --"WTF is that? You asking me to fight?...ooohhh you mean a coke" Ok I didnt verbally say that part before the ellipsis, but it did take me a while to catch on what on earth a pop was. http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.html I've trained myself not to say "cokes" in preference to "soda" since using brand names as generic nouns is a bad thing (i guess.) and actually the map I linked surprises me. The last time I saw data about this, "soda" was the term of choice throughout the south, with "coke" being almost a strictly Texas-Louisiana thing. Soda/Pop/Coke: serious business. (EDIT: after re-reading your post, i see you did mention the "south" saying coke. Buut, I like my rambling on the subject enough to keep this posted)

ha.. i was raised to call it *pop* which really annoys people.. most people i know call any canned drink *juice* be it Coke Pepsi or whatever... or it's also called *Ginger* though it's mostly the older generation who give it that term (50's/60's)

yeah, whenever I travel around the US and people say "Pop," it still sounds really strange everytime, even though I know exactly what they are talking about. I didn't know Brits called it Pop also, I guess because I don't really drink sodas anymore and when I have around English friends, they will refer it by brand name.
but yeah I was just trying to use another example of how a word can be used in a broad and narrow sense.

It's like when I eat Italian food in Asia. Many restaurants use local ingredients and fuse the taste to fit the palate of the people it's serving. Like in Korea, it's Koreans cooking their version of Italian food but for Koreans. So, it's very different, but it's still Italian food in essense.

When I listen modern kayokyoku musicians, I had a impression of something old, nostalgic, a 60's and 70's feelings... Really I love this kind of music, specially if you think about the crap you have nowadays in Japan.
Recently, this nostalgia feelings are getting quite popular in the Japanese independet scene. In undergrounds clubs in Shinjuku and Koenji, you can listen a plenty of bands with strong influence from the music of 50's, 60's and 70's, specially kayokyoku. So, if you guys like Kurahashi, try Salome Lips (サロメの唇), Kikoko Hotel or Thee 50's High Teens |

I'm glad this thread was bumped, because it's my new favorite thread.
Also, Yoeko Kurahashi is pretty good. |
