Japan's Top R&B - A.I.

I love music. It's simple. Unfortunately, finding new music I like is often impossible. Either it's too "poppy" for me or it lacks a certain element of the underground, which I so desperately crave. In recent years, in terms of the music I've been listening to on a daily basis, most of the music I listen to these days were orchestrated by friends I've made in real life. Today's featured artist is no different, allow me to introduce you to Japan's top R&B singer, the beautiful "A.I.".

Born in Los Angeles, California in 1981, AI would go on to become one of Japan's top R&B artists. In 2000, she signed with Universal (BMG) Japan, and moved to Def Jam Japan in 2002. It wasn't until 2005 when AI found major success with her single, "Story." Since then, AI has gone on to win numerous awards from Billboard Japan, Space Shower and MTV Japan. No matter what AI does, there is just no stopping this sensational singer.

ALBUM REVIEW - MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - TSUME,TSUME,TSUME/F (Single)

Maximum the Hormone, no idea what it means, but it sounds amazing and that's all that matters. MTH mix rock, metal, pop, punk and hip hop and....even a little reggae into a perfect storm of very heavy and very catchy songs. MTH consist of Maximum the Ryo on clean vocals i.e. singing and guitar, Nao on drums and backing vocals, Daisuke sings, screams and raps and Ue-Chan plays bass and sings backing vocals as well. They're most famous outside of Japan for their songs being used in the Death Note anime.

RIP Robin Gibb

Theoretical question: Am I a bad person if, when news of another celebrity/musician dying hits my news feed, I start humming Another One Bites the Dust? First Whitney Houston, then Donna Summer, and now Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, are dead.
