OSVchannel Episode 2: J-Pop and Ken Hirai

Yeah, I know it hasn’t even been a week since our introductory broadcast, but what can I say?  I missed you guys!  I was listening to one of my favorite J-pop artists this morning and thought it would be a lot of fun to talk about J-pop for episode 2.

Ken Hirai is the J-pop artist of choice for both Dale and I, so this episode takes you through some of his recent hits including “Pop Star,” “Kimi wa Suteki,” and “Canvas” (Kyanbasu).  Isn’t it interesting that we always think of female artists like Hamasaki Ayumi and Utada Hikaru whenever we think of J-pop?  Open your mind and hopefully you’ll come to love Ken Hirai as much as we do.

Should we be covering J-pop in the future on OSV?  Are there any artists in particular that you think we should have on our radar?
