After I had experienced Chinese music, I found that I liked it. I couldn't get enough, but I was limited to what I could find. On our third adoption, I watched a lot of the videos. Unbeknowst to me, I was watching a mixture of Asian music. I could only remember one group's name. That name was Teen Top. When we arrived home, I was getting into Jay Chou. Then one day, I discovered PSY.
I was looking at Yahoo and they had a story about this video that had gone viral. I watched it. I was hooked. I even played it for my daughters. They thought it was okay. When you watch a video on Youtube, it has links to songs that are similar or by the same artist. I found out that PSY had been around for awhile. He had released multiple albums. Luckily, I found them on Itunes.
From here, I discovered a group that my daughters really liked. That group was the Wonder Girls. I went through many of their songs. One song, "Like Money", stood out. I had actually heard it on an American radio station. If I had known, I could have taken my daughters to see them in concert. They made an appearance in Orlando. Shortly after discovering them, they decided to take a rest. Hopefully, they will do more in the future.
Youtube provided me with links to more Korean groups. I found a lot that I like. Big Bang, Crayon Pop, 2ne1, Miss A, Wa$$up, Tiny G, IU, etc. I only wish that I could find Chinese groups as easily. Then, one of my friends share a video from Japan. That group was Babymetal.
Babymetal is a mix between death metal and J-Pop. I liked it. The group is made up of 3 teenagers and a backing group of musicians. This music is not for everyone. Many of my friends and family do not like them. I think it has more to do with the language barrier. My thought is that you can barely understand the music they sing in America. I just like the melody and words, even though I don't know what they might be singing about.
Stay tuned. I will try to share some videos.
