the pop music scene in tokyo is not that different than ours. with an accent, though, on pretty boy bands, pop idols, tween stars. generic, industry-created crap, for the most part. like i said, not so different than us. picture an army of miley cyruses. or could that be miley cyri? going against the grain are a few lone heroes. like virgin moon. two self-released albums and no hint of a record deal. damn suits.
