Japanese music I like
The 28-year-old singer Namie Amuro, who gained stage experience in the music group Super Monkeys, is now a successful solo artist with fast-paced, R&B-influenced tracks and is one of the biggest names in showbiz. My recommended tracks are Come and As Good As.
Founded in 1997, the J-rock band Dir En Grey has had a turbulent past and was formed by several members of the disbanded group La:Sadies and the former bassist of GoSick. With their current album Withering to Death, they have become even darker and harder in 2005, yet despite this, or perhaps because of it, their fans love them and proved this at Dir en grey’s concert in Berlin. My recommended tracks are Jessica and Dead Tree.
Scrubs proves that medical dramas can also be funny. What makes Scrubs so funny are clearly the different characters who encounter each other episode after episode, such as the singing but suicidal hospital lawyer, the perpetually grumpy janitor, or the Pac-Man-playing and devilish senior physician. And at the end of each episode, you always learn something about life. Nice.
