    i really don't see what's funny about that. if you came up to me and called me "nippo" i would more than likely knock you the fuck out.

    I can't speak for dude, but Nippon means "Japan" in Japanese. So I don't see "Nippopop" really being a racist word. Thats like me being offended by "Ameripop."

    Now if he ommitted two more letters from "Nippopop"......

    I was at Shinsengumi in Torrance and saw a flier for this website, targeted at Japanese living in Los Angeles. Real quote:

    "Japanese + Happy = Jappy" (the name of the site)

    My wife (who is JA) couldn't believe it. I personally thought shit was kind of funny.

    Even though I never listen to J-Pop, I have to say I like this song...
    it's easy, catchy, etc.



    I actually heard it first on KALX!

    There is an act called "Soulhead" that came to my attention a while back. A bit like a Japanese TLC, kind of poppy R&B with a girl who raps in a mix of Japanese and English. Anyway, their "Crystalized" set is worth checking for a Reel People mix of a tune called "You Can Do That".

    I can't up the mp3 from work but will hook an upload up when I get home.

    Leah Dizon, my friend, is the ultimate J-pop eye candy (at least for the time being).

    ...hey what's this violence ?

    ok let me put it straight : as troubleman said, my post wasn't aimed to be offensive or -worse- racist...

    mmhh actually I really didn't know nippon or nippopop had a racist meaning in America...

    you know, I'm clearly


    I personally read it somewhere (maybe a music magazine I don't remember) and they used just like "J-pop".... I really don't care for labels so I wrote it that way..

    ...wait a minute: I didn't know YOU were Japanese ..(but are you ?)

    there are loads of japanese r&b/hip-pop/j-pop artists out there. Here are some names to get familiar...

    m-flo
    bonnie pink
    bennie k
    mika nakashima (she's huge)
    crystal k
    koda kumi
    lyrico
    rip slyme

    I like a lot more of the under the radar people in Japan, especially Gagle, Paris Match, Bird, Beret, Orange Pekoe and Wyolica.

    exactly

    .... Bird and Orange Pekoe are two names that represents better what I'm lookin for....

    also I was thinking something like "Four of Kind" but more pop oriented
