Nippon Delights

Was suddenly nostalgic about the Japanese superstars I was crazy with when I was green in the bud (read: young).

Likes of Chage and Aska:


My all-time fav SMAP:


Who could forget Speed?


Was mad loving Every Little Thing for a while:


Nippon diva Misia:


This is by no means an exhaustive list, but this duo can warm the cockles of my heart anytime and any day.



I remember it was all walkmans and cassette tapes. I would record all these Japanese goldies from somewhere and listen to them 24/7 and I remember driving my mum crazy by singing them all day long. I had to stop when my dad comes home as he is quite anti-Japanese (although I did point out to him we should throw away our Sony video-tape player and TV if he is that against them...but he never took up to my suggestion).

And I wonder if anyone who is about my age will remember the Japanese singing variety shows they have on TV (SBC!) as I was quite mad about them for a while as well. Hmm, it seems I have been infected with what the Singaporean Chinese called the Japanese wind whilst young. I hope you enjoy the MVs as much as I have been. Daisuki!
