It's pretty sad how westernized all of these J-pop artists are. But then again, I suppose it comes with the territory. Whatever happened to cultural pride?

Wow, incredible album so far.

I recently downloaded this jewel of an album by the Derek Trucks Band. I'd recommend it to anybody who likes southern rock, blues, jam bands or the Allman Brothers Band.

Well firstly she's Taiwanese not Japanese

And secondly if you actually listen to the artists themselves you'll notice that they use a lot traditional theme's in their music.

PLUS.... How do you expect them to look? Are they meant to be walking around in kimono's and full Geisha face-paint? What is a modern Asian person meant to look like to you?

That's a sample of this artist and how she uses traditional theme's in her music

Also.... most Asian artists ARE better than Western artists.... I haven't seen one Western artist that can match the diversity of absolutely loads of Asian artists.
