Catch you on the other side!

As 2007 draws to a close, all of us here at JAPUNDIT would like to say thank you to everyone for stopping by and taking part, and to wish everyone the best for 2008.

Taking us out are a couple of videos of mixed-race female entertainers in Japan, past and present. They will give you some idea of how Japanese pop music has changed over the years.

Then it was the Golden Half

Now it is Leah Dizon

Leah dizon sings??? blegh!!! she should shut her mouth and just take off her clothes, that’s what she does best!

Hmmm…I think the “groovy” act for the 70’s is a lot more fun. Does Leah even speak Japanese? She was born and raised in the States, right?

So I guess that the moral of the story in video #2 is : fail at your exams and you’ll become a pop star.

Just wondering, how do the Japanese pronounce Leah Dizon??

Anyway, I believe that the best J-pop was made in the 90s until 2000. Past 2002, it became junk with Morning Musume and their copycats.

That Golden Half video was great, but not half as amusing as the site you linked to, Ed.

To wit: “This group was formed exclusively half Japanese-breed girls of a foreign country race”.

Brilliant.
