Korean fever~

For a while now I've had this massive thing for Korean music, well most Asian music really. It pretty much began because of anime, Japanese anime, the good stuff compared with all the crappy Western cartoon shows that are like for little kids. This on the other hand is catered for kids and older, more mature audiences. The very first anime show I watched was Mobile suits Gundam Seed. I bought a dvd because I had seen the robots before and I had a small Gundam model that my auntie bought for me in China. I was pretty much hooked onto it straight away.

 In all Japanese anime there are opening and closing songs and  also insert songs. These songs aren't made just for the anime series (Well not exactly true but you get what I mean) they are songs usually sung  by known artists in Japan or even worldwide. The songs were really catchy and thus I was into the whole Asian music. I had a massive craze for JPop (Japanese pop but I usually call all types and genres of Japanese music as JPop) from around 2007 and for about 2 years and a bit I loved listening to JPop. To me it was (and kinda still is) better than a lot of the stuff taht comes out of Western publishers.
A few favourite mentions are Yui, L`Arc~en~ciel, Bonnie Pink, See-Saw, Nobuo Uematsu (The famous composer of many Final Fantasy music scores) and Utada Hikaru.
