Is it me or are you scared? Is it a marketing stragtegy? Is Jaebeom coming back? Or is it 2PM bringing out a new album soon? Or, what if the heart is going to stop beating and there is no more 2PM?

I don’t know why but I have this deep feeling that Jaebeom is coming back. And the heartbeat sound is scary and makes my own heart beat the same way, the picture is exactly how I felt when Jaebeom felt and what would become of 2PM but now…

What happened to Asian Domination…

20090408_se7en_boa_wondergirls_thumb

…in the USA, that is. Now I don’t live in America (instead I’m from London), but back in March, there was a quite buzz at the amount of several Asian Pop artists (three solo artists and one group) that I thought had a good 30% chance of breaking into America as an Asian artist, Sadly, it’s now October and it’s dropped to 5%. Why? I’ll tell you why…

I have to say that, for some reason people never seem to take well to asi ans in music. From what I’ve learnt over the years before and after listening to Asian music, Nationality is the issue. I hate to say it but it’s true. I don’t think Americans are very responsive to any sort of Asian artist/group. I mean, can you name any local Asian-American act that’s actually made it big? So the chances are probably slimmer than my predicted percentage.

I don’t live in America but I can tell you that if I ever saw BoA’s song, I wouldn’t give her a second glance, I would most possibly call her mixed-race which is…stupid. Yeah, and anyways living in London, some British people wouldn’t respond well too, especially how we don’t have enough asians over here too, the other day I showed my sister SHINee and she called them gay (You can imagine how pissed I was), she didn’t even let me explain that there are music differences in other cultures.

Here are some of the artists who, if they had planned their steps correctly, would have made a breakthrough into America.

United 4 – The true Queens of J-Pop

Yeah, I collaborated a great picture here, although I feel like Ayumi ruined it slightly. I haven’t posted a J-Pop post in a while so I felt like posting this.

You’re also probably thinking, Why has NyNy called them United 4? Well, in my opinion, I seem them as the 21st century queens of J-Pop, most no, all are going above 10 years in their careers and are doing well, (Koda Kumi’s 10th anniversary next year, YES!).

United 4
Top left: Namie Amuro
Middle Bottom: Koda Kumi
Top Right: Ayumi Hamasaki
Bottom Right: Utada Hikaru

For anyone who is not familar with them, they are (in my opinion), the four most popular female J-Pop singer-songwriters. In my opinion, they circulate different genres of J-Pop and if people ever thought of making the four do a song together, I would love to see it. Something like, “FUSION”. ¬_¬ Or something like that.

Debuts:
Namie Amuro: October 25, 1995
Ayumi Hamasaki: April 8, 1998
Utada Hikaru: December 9, 1998
Koda Kumi: December 6th, 2000

So, for anyone who doesn’t know, let me tell you a little about the four and hopefully you will like their style and start listening to their music.

You thought G-D and 2NE1 had cool headphones!

Elva-Hsiaos-S13000-diamond-studded-headphones3

Check these babies out!

Now we all know 2NE1 and G-Dragon has the very best given to them especially the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre headphones that’s on my life wishlist. Now my sister said if I ever got them she would never speak to me again, Oh well, I still want them – who wouldn’t?

Anyways, upon listening to one of my C-Pop (yet she is Taiwanese) artists, Elva Hsiao, I couldn’t help but notice how “gemmed” up her headphones were. It was for her 10th album out October 9th, Diamond Girl. The headphones cost $9000 = £5644.76.

If she is so rich, she should just use that money to buy me Dr. Dre Headphones, some new straighteners, a hair dryer, DS, oh sorry, I’m going way overboard again, it’s nearly Christmas after all…
