![]() I'm not sure how often this happens! But SR has got a write-up in a national newspaper in the UK today, as part of a full-page article on Japanese female musicians. Also mentions Alan, Nana Kitade, Tomoko Kawase, Ayumi Hamasaki.

![]() T_T wouldn't it be the best thing ever if she saw more of these articles and decided to do a world wide tour?

![]() This article has inspired me to listen to "Gamble" from Heisei Fuuzoku again, after a long break, and I'm starting to like it almost as much as I did initially.
Also, more circuitously, I find myself listening to Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop" again, and pleasantly surprised by how it sounds, after not really having heard it for a while. And that ethnically Tibetan Japanese pop star they mention is cute and I do like when she pulls out the hardcore vocal stuff. |

![]() Yeah, apologies to Alan. I was too lazy to go back and check to see what her name was.
Thanks so_cold for posting this link. I might have missed it otherwise. (Ah, periodic bored-at-work obsessive googling of "Shiina Ringo" would probably have brought it up eventually, but sooner is better than later.) |

![]() I only listened to 2 tracks by alan and it was very confusing. One (Sakura Modern) was great but the other (Swear) was totally different- it looks and sounds like any other jpop song out there. I hear it's because she was recently signed to avex and they... well... avex-ed her.

![]() All her Japanese stuff has been under avex. Her first single under avex came out in 2007 and she only recently got "avex-ed" because her other stuff wasn't selling.
Pretty sure even the new stuff isn't selling though. |
