Asian Prog

[bitflipper]

Love this stuff. When I was 4 years old, my father spent time in Japan and brought me back some interesting gifts. My favorite was a stack of 78 RPM Japanese pop records. Something about how they blended traditional techniques with European classical sensibilities really resonated with my toddler brain. Good to see they're still doing that.

And of course, my favorite Asian country hasn't been slacking, either.

Sorry, it's in Taglish and no subtitles, but I think you'll get the gist.

Had to throw in my favorite Filipino band, Fuseboxx. Props for playing keyboards, Chapman stick and singing at the same time!

I still listen too Japanese pop and rock. They really have come a long way from when I was a youth. (Lived in Japan as a kid & mom’s Japanese). (Also lived in the PI between 72 & 74).

That Wagakki guitarist is awesome!  Kenny started a thread about them and got me into their stuff.

(I will ignore the fact that I also have a thing for Japanese ladies. ?)

All Prog matters. Really good selections.
