Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool

Did you really think that I wouldn’t find you out
I guess somebody decided to sell you out
They told me about her and what you plan to do
You tried to have your cake and eat it too
The woman isn’t gonna work that way
It doesn’t really sit well with something to tell
When you hurt me you really hurt yourself
Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

Right now I’m into Jpop. I like Namie Amuro. The MV I posted is old but I like it so I’m not going into uber critic mode other than say, “It’s so American-ish.” So someone’s going to say, “She’s Japanese. Why can’t she sing Japanese music?” Do you mean all those songs you hear in anime? Please… don’t be so narrow-minded. This comment is also directed to Filipino, Korean and other Asian artists being that they “copy” American music. Music is universal (and that’s cliche so all people should already know that). Music is an expression. They like the melody, rhythm, beat etc. and they like the lyrics to be in a certain language and sometimes mixed (is it called Engrish?). Some people like it, some people don’t. Do you have to be American/British/any nationality to appreciate music? To sing American et. al. songs? NOT!
I got to be honest, I wasn’t really that thrilled with Korean and Japanese music. All I know is that the theme songs of the KDramas are good (sounds heartbreaking though) and I like anime songs (especially Naruto opening and closing credits themes). But lately I’m discovering Asian music (I really have to force myself!). I’m not regretting it though because I’m having fun. I certainly had fun watching some of the vids and live performances in youtube. So now, I know that there are really annoying Korean artists, not themselves per se but based on what they did in the vids (ultimately themselves if I watched them in several vids and they are still annoying) and there are some who looked really fake. Luckily I found DBSK! I made fun of their clothes (didn’t comment on it on youtube, just kept it to myself). Jaejoong needs to have a new stylist, same as with Yunho…. okay… all of them.. nyahahaha.. Ahermmm…. Let’s forget about my little outburst there because I really like DBSK. All of them. Another group I like is Big Bang or Bigbang.. whichever. Because of one video that sounds like trance music. It’s their latest, I think. (If someone would give me the title of the song, thanks!)
I first heard of Utada Hikaru then I saw names of Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki in forums. Like I said above, I like Namie Amuro. Utada Hikaru also. Arashi is fun but too bubblegum for me. L’arc-En-Ciel– I like (they’ re JRock, I know..).
I referred to Fpop as almost non-existent because Filipino pop artists tend to concentrate on ballads. They are really good but I want them to record pop/rnb songs. They can really sing this genre, but so far few have released records. I’m so frustrated!
Arashi (嵐, Storm?) is a five-member Japanese boy band under Johnny & Associates. They made their debut in September 15, 1999 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The group was signed to the Pony Canyon record label from 1999 to 2001 before transitioning to Johnny’s Associates-powered J Storm record label in 2002, producing their future singles and albums. Arashi covers a wide range of music, including R&B, hip hop and various forms of pop music. Aside from being a popular idol group in Japan, the group is widely known across Asia and to J-pop fans all over the world.
Arashi is composed of Satoshi Ohno (大野智, Satoshi Ohno?)Sho Sakurai (櫻井翔, Sho Sakurai?)Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀, Masaki Aiba?)Kazunari Ninomiya (二宮和也, Kazunari Ninomiya?)Jun Matsumoto (松本潤, Jun Matsumoto?)
Utada Hikaru (宇多田 ヒカル, Utada Hikaru? born January 19, 1983), also known by her fans as Hikki (ヒッキー, Hikkī?), is a third culture singer-songwriter, arranger and record producer in Japan and the US. She is well-known internationally for her two theme song contributions to Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts video game series.[1] Her debut album, First Love, is the best-selling album of all time in Japan with over 7.65 million copies sold in Japan alone. With the release of 7 Japanese and English studio albums, 1 compilation album, 25 Japanese and English solo singles, and several VHS/DVD releases, she has sold over 41 million records worldwide (with over 34 million in home nation Japan). Moreover, 3 of her albums are in the Top 10 best-selling album of all time in Japan (#1, #4, #8)[1], making her one of the most indefinitely successful and popular singers in J-pop history. She has won the Nihon Golden Disk “Song of the Year” award for fourteen of her singles since 2000 and has won the Golden Disc “Pop/Rock Album of the Year” award for all four of her Japanese studio albums.[2] In 2003 Utada Hikaru was ranked the #24 Japanese pop artist in its survey of “Top 100 Japanese pop artists” by HMV, [3] #10 in HMV’s “Top 30 Best Japanese Singers of All Time” in 2006.[4] In 2007, her single “Flavor of Life” reached #2 in worldwide digital download single sales with over 7.2 million downloads (the only non-American artist to hold such a distinction), and she totally sold 12 million digital ringtones and songs in that year, making her the first artist ever to have this many digital sales in a year’s time.
