Re: The Korean Wave & Domestic News LOL! I'm just glad Gangnam Style hasn't made a cameo appearance in any of our J-dramas lately. But never say never!

Re: The Korean Wave & Domestic News Psy and Gangnam are not popular with the Japanese ajummas - not pretty or skinny enough, I guess. He may need fashion pointers from Jang Geun Suk when he dressed up as a girl some months ago...
Thanks so much for sharing han, I especially enjoyed reading the second link.
Here's a YT embed of hantaejun's referenced J-Pop video. I know I said before that in general I much prefer J-Pop to K-Pop in general terms, but I didn't mean this! LOL! This isn't bad though, it's certainly catchy and has an addicting quality - sounds like samey vocaloid and anime music though, but better than average in production and very stylish (and weird ) music video.
The other song in the article, that one I'm familiar with, the Momoiro Clover Z one.

Re: The Korean Wave & Domestic News Oh dear, what would Kiyomori have said if he lived to watch that video? LOL!
But going back to the original article, I suppose that's what keeps both K-pop and J-pop so popular. These genres are constantly changing, constantly evolving.
