JPop: Discovery Of Asian Music

As most of my friends and family know, I'm a big fan of Asian music. The biggest problem I encounter with introducing Asian music to somebody is that they balk out right away because it's in another language. Anyways, I was listening to Olivia, a Japanese singer and I realized that most of her songs are in English. I was thinking about it and a lot of Asian singers have songs in English.

So I will introduce all of you to some Japanese music. :)

OLIVIA (Olivia Lufkin) [ Taken from Wiki.ThePPN ]

She is an artist on the avex trax label that had a highly acclaimed debut album Synchronicity in December of 2000. Her captivating songs and offbeat personality has attracted many fans. Her second album The Lost Lolli was released in February 2004.

She is a favorite of mine and it's nice that most of her songs are in English.

I recommend!
