We may be a blog based in the United States, but music is the universal language and we dabble a little in all the colors of the musical spectrum.  While we choose to focus primarily on music sung in English (it’s hard to analyze the lyrics if you don’t speak the language), we also feel that it is up to us to facilitate a little cultural exchange.

With that in mind, allow us to introduce you to some of our favorite artists from Japan, China, and South Korea.  Of course, when we name these countries, many of our readers will get images of bright, pop videos with busy EDM sounds and people in animal costumes.  You won’t find that here (although it might be in some of these artists discographies if you chose to look them up further; don’t judge them).  We will give you a little overview of the artists as well as a place to start searching if you choose to find out more.

To help you along, each page will have two videos.  In most cases, one will be our favorite song from the artist and the other will likely be an English language track to make those who have a hard time listening to people sing in foreign tongues more comfortable.  Get acquainted; we think you’ll like what you hear.
