Video of a Korean crossdresser playing bass to Fuwa Fuwa Time, an OST from Japanese anime K-On! It’s so weird that it’s actually funny…
According to his Youtube profile… he’s a South Korean bassist whose name is Hyunmo Kim who “hopes to be the world’s greatest stupid idiot bass player.”
Good luck Mr Kim, thanks for the lulz.
If you think some of the Korean artists are too young for entertainment world, you should check this out… Japanese female pop group Berryz Koubou are celebrating their sixth anniversary today, and their average age is just over seventeen.
The girls released their first single I Can’t Live Without You in 2004 (MV below). They held their first solo concert in 2007 at Saitama Super Arena with a full house crowd of around 20,000. [Video via Leeaceno1@Youtube]…
Berryz Koubou are not the only super-young-teenage-idols in Japan; it’s a norm for Japanese idols to debut at very young age since early 90s. Koreans are merely following the path in this sense… good or bad, it’s becoming a trend these days.
On side note, today is Hina Matsuri, Japanese girls’ day. Not sure at all, but the girls might have debuted purposely on this day six years ago.
Japanese pop group AKB48’s latest single Sakura no Shiori has topped the recent Oricon sales chart, with over 300,000 copies sold in its first week of release, a record best in seven years for Japanese female artists. Fan-made MV below…
It’s a nice choir-like song; perfect for graduation season. It’s not the type you would expect to top the pop charts, but it’s Japan… you never know.
Neutrals often ridiculed them for the large number of members (ahemm… what do you think the 48 means?), but seems like they are having the last laugh.
