Marty Friedman doing an album full of J-Pop covers?
 

This is just..um..beyond weird.

jpop is probably the only bad musical style coming out of japan nowadays. the uinderground scene is and has been killer for decades, but like anything else the japanese know how to make shit music better than anyone.

jpop rules. It makes me smile!

Friedman proves that there's more than one way to wank over JPop.

old news, when he quit megadeth, he moved to japan to produce idoru singers.

I so thought that said Marty Feldman, and now I'm disappointed.

JPop is one of my favorite genres of music. (well, more specifically, Shibuya-kei and picopop)

Hinoi Team is my favorite band ever!!

I just checked out Hanoi Team on youtube and have to say that from what I heard it's really not all that different from a lot of Euro-Pop (besides being sung in Japanese, obviously) and yet i rarely hear the same people championing JPop singing the praises of that. I mean is this all that different from what say Aqua are doing?

I'll agree that there's something quite unique about some of the Picopop I've heard, but stuff like Hanoi Team, i dunno.

I thought so as well for a second
