	MISIA - THE TOUR OF MISIA 2002
		I realize that the intention was to make MISIA look like a talented performer who is recognized world-wide (which I agree she deserves to be), but to me it clearly comes off as a desperate plea for Japanese performers like MISIA to be recognized by Western markets.
		For those of you who think that Japanese performers and their promoters are content selling their music only to the Japanese market and parts of Asia, you need look no further than this piece for your proof that they are not.
		MISIA's 2001 tour video was spectacular, and there really isn't anything about the 2002 one that makes it any less spectacular, except the lack of on-screen lyrics and perhaps the song selection.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Tsushima Islands
		The Tsushima Islands are situated in the Korea Strait between the Japanese island of Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula.
		Tsushima is the closest Japanese territory to Korea, lying only fifty kilometres from Pusan, and the hills and mountains of Korea are visible on a clear day from higher elevations on the two northern mountains.
		Japanese mythology states that Tsushima was one of the eight original islands created by Shinto deities of Izanagi and Izanami.

	Misia
		Misia kept at her piano practicing throughout Junior High but instead of continuing with her piano lessons she wanted to take up singing lessons.
		In the Japanese Spring of May 1997, Misia attended an amature/semi-professional talent show and with her 5 octave vocal range she was discovered by a BMGJ AandR.
		Misia fans know she is capable of singing and was born to do it.

	Jpop: The International Flavor of Popular Japanese Stars
		Misiaâs sense of fashion and style are often puzzling, usually she dresses in space-age, futuristic designs or ultra-trendy clothing that seems more whimsical than attractive or fashionable.
		Misia is truly an oddball artist whose celebrity status seems to have confused and troubled her, resulting in some poor choices for new music ventures in her latest music.
		Misiaâs speaking voice (as mentioned) is characteristic of her quirkiness, after belting out an incredible ballad with a stunningly deep and emotional voice, she will thank the crowd for their applause with the tiniest, highest voice imaginable.

		MISIA, unlike many come-and-go artists in the Japanese music industry, has managed to take a strong hold on the music scene in Japan.
		MISIA discovered her talent as a vocalist while sitting in on one of her older sister's private music lessons.
		Her voice is one that's rare for Japanese singers, being as deep as it is. However, that's what makes her music so unique and memorable.

	Ian Condry @ MIT
		Many in the music world doubted that it would be possible to rap in Japanese, that is, to be able to perform with the needed rhythmic nuance ("flow") and rhymes, because the language itself was viewed as deficient: It didn't use stress accents and sentences must end with one of a few simple verb endings.
		UTADA Hikaru "Addicted to You" (1999) This selection from the best selling album in Japanese pop music history was released when Hikki, as she is known, was 17 years old.
		A leader in what's called "Japanese R&B," Utada is bilingual, raised in both NYC and Tokyo, and she stands as icon of transnational popular music.

		Misia has an awesome techno-soul style, with some rock blended in.
		Misia's voice and melodies are instilled with emotion.
		It's hard for me to find Japanese rock music that will hold my attention (a lot of them are too slow, too often), this group certainly keeps me listening.

		Misia rocks the dredlocks, and she is not much to look at but she can sing...I wanted to see her in concert, but it sold out too quick.
		Enthusiastic and professional, Misia garnered serious respect by writing her own music and lyrics and staying involved in the arrangement process in spite of a grueling promotion, recording and training schedule.
		Misia's singles and her album Mother Father Brother Sister have remained at the top of the charts for weeks even though Misia has made no appearances on TV music shows.

		I'm a Chinese & I have a Japanese guy who is interested in me. He is very gentleman & generous with me but of course it is too early to tell if he's really a nice guy or not.
		It's no longer important to them that their son-in-law is a Japanese, but that he's a kind, generous man who will be taking good care of their daughter.
		I'm japanese and male, and i love all women, but i don't think i'll ever spend my life with anything else than a asian woman, coz i think asians are ment to be with eachother, AND i'm personally in love with a chinese girl ^-^..

		I don't think anyone here was trying to argue that Japanese should be prohibitted from borrowing/acculturating/incorporating sounds from a tradition other than their own.
		One of my favorite Japanese rap songs is a Watarai remix of Misia's "Tsutsumi Komu You Ni", with freestyle-ish vocals by Muro; it is the best of two worlds...
		Misia, with her awesome range, and Muro supporting the heavy beats.

		However, in spite of an oral warning of the patrol vessel in Japan, a South Korean hovering vessel dashes itself against a patrol vessel, or throws things, such as a Molotov cocktail and a kitchen knife, and fights back.
		And finally it escapes in South Korean economic waters, and the Japanese government and Tsushima's fishermen are racked.
		A lot of garbage, such as a refrigerator, is washed up on the seashore crowded with a sea bather in summer, and it has been a problem threatened with the Tsushima citizen's health, or Tsushima's nature.

	BW Online \| July 8, 2002 \| Misia
		In a land where most recording artists have a shelf life shorter than sushi, a spunky Japanese diva known as Misia (pronounced Mee-sha) has shown remarkable resilience since her unheralded debut in 1998.
		Indeed, Misia, whose name is derived from the words "Asian" and "Messiah," is one of the most bankable stars in Japan's $6.5 billion music industry.
		Misia's big break came during a stint as a business major at Seinan Gakuin University in Fukuoka, when she won a local talent contest.

		MINMI broke into the Japanese urban music scene in August 2002 with the maxi single,'The Perfect Vision'.
		MINMI impressed critics with her abilities to write and compose and produce her own work, intergrating sounds from Jamaica with American and Japanese vibes.

	Bytes of Life -- May 23, 2000
		Here, you pay an hourly fee for a small room that's got a karaoke machine with like thousands of songs on it (though most of the English songs are from the 80's or earlier, the Japanese are obssessed with the Cardigans and the Beatles).
		In the next song Aya sang, the key changed sharply in the middle of it and she calmly reached over to the remote control and pressed the button which changed the key.
		Sure, they bellow and holler, smoke and get drunk in those little rooms and have a blast, but at some karaoke places you get a percentage score of how well you match up to the actual singer.

		Japanese music is nice because you can really listen to the music and you can listen to the girl's voice.
		Definately not shallow (unless its a japanese remake of an american song in which case the americans were the stupid ones =op).

		They're singing in Japanese mostly except for maybe the Utada Hikaru songs I mentioned and the Misia (yes, i agree she does rock) song number 18 mentioned.
		I've never heard Misia's cover but Utada Hikaru was raised in New York and by all accounts speaks english perfectly fine.
		And speaking of non-Japanese singing Japanese versinos of songs, I forget her name, but there is a famous female jazz singer (I guess - I'm not real knowledgeable about the jazz world...or she was popular in movies at a time or something) that moved to Japan to sing in Japanese night clubs.

		Goto Maki is pretty hot :drool: She was in a Japanese drama show called "Maria", and her acting skills aren't bad at all (though, not as good as Toshiro Mifune and Ken Watanabe, of course).
