Was looking for something to prepare an oral presentation and discovered one of his song. Clicked on another link to listen another song, and again another. Just wow... Tomorrow when my teacher will ask me why I have not prepared anything, I will simpl answer : "J'étais en train d'apprécier de la bonne musique monsieur, tout simplement..."
yeah I know. All music that is popular these days sucks. It's more about image than talent. It's the obscure, almost unknown people who are usually the most musically gifted.
Shugo Tokumaru is certainly not an unappreciated artist among the average person though. There's alot of artists who are also talented but who aren't well "appreciated"; of course, that may be because of the genre.
Anyway, this guy is the only "Pop" music that I like; probably because I adore all Japanese music.
That's probably because this isn't pop. You're comparing american main stream pop to this Japanese experimental. That's like comparing Built To Spill to Shakira.
welcome to the world dominated by public media. They sell cheap garbage and make million of dollars while we need to dig deep underground to look for talented musicians. But damn it at the same time I really hope great musicians don't get too recognizable or else they too will get sucked into the mentality of making money over making good music. I don't want them to lose a single ounce of creative control.
its really hard for Asian (especially male) to have a major breakthrough and gain exposure in the western media...(which is why you don't see any Asian singer featured on MTV Billboard and others.) its just not very likely to happen.
seriaaa genial sabeeer que es lo que diceee :D:D pq si asi es el ritmo no me imagino la letra :D:D

yeah J-pop is usually great, and american pop blows.

Don't write Shugo's music off as "J-pop", it's SO much more than that.

eh, sorry. That's just how he was listed when I downloaded a song. What is it classified as, then? *curious*

Pop ;)
