What do Blankey Jet City, Asian Kung Fu Generation, ORANGE RANGE, and the Kick the Can Crew have in common? They're all the names of famous J-pop bands! ("In this speech, I will tell you about...")
Seriously, if these bands were half as cool as their names indicated, I would turn my back on America and swear my allegiance to Japanese music forever. Husking Bee? Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her?? There's a whole slew of bands alone that read like an old lineup of Nick in the Afternoon (see Gackt, SMAP, RIP SYLME, GReeen, yada yada yada). And just in case that's not enough...
Jeff's Top 5 J-Pop Band Names (in descending order):
5. Dragon Ash
4. Spitz
3. MONKEY MAJIK
2. Mr. Children
1. Bump of Chicken
Who comes up with these names, anyway? Manatees?
