I’ve been following a blog called Channel-Ai for a quite some time. It has a lot of great information about the latest Jpop releases, translated interviews, news, and reviews. If you’re interested in learning more about Japanese Pop you should check out the site!

I remember the beatbox thing being so cool when I was a  kid, but as I got older nobody was that impressive… until now. This 18 year old Japanese guy is awesome. I thought the whistling part was sweet, but then he started doing the scratch effect… whoa! He made this video to try and win the wildcard entry to the Beatbox Battle World Championship, good luck to him!

A little while ago I was talking about my internet speed here in Japan and I must say that today I’m loving it! I downloaded the latest Nine Inch Nails album in about 45 seconds. Not bad for $50 a month internet service! Here’s a screen shot I took.
