Another Story: "SUKIYAKI" - Behind Japan's No. 1 US Hit (NHK World - Japan) (Note: i really hate this song)

[YoshidaYui]

The only JAPANESE song that ever made it to number one in America? Maybe cause no other songs were ever given the chance, maybe cause no one speaks Japanese and refused to listen to songs unless they are in English... JAPAN has a wealth of lovely and great music, Idk, maybe you have to be Japanese to appreciate it... or maybe not. Some people just aren't tolerant enough to allow some songs to be played. That's a really sad statement.

I introduce new music nearly all the time on DU. I want fellow Americans to hear great Japanese music,.. for example .. Remioromen : konayuki

one more example: Utada Hikaru : flavor of life
