From "A" (Akanishi Jin) to "Y" (Yamashita Tomohisa)

While listening to Yamashita Tomohisa's song "Crush on You" at work, I suddenly realized that some of the jpop songs in my MP3 player were sang in English or mixed English-Japanese / English-Korean like:

• Miso Soup (english version) by Tegomass
• Crush on You by Yamapi
• Loveless by Yamapi
• After the Rain by Yamapi
• Don't You Ever Stop by Kat-tun
• Step and Go by Arashi
• Always be Mine by F.T. Island
• A Song for You by F.T. Island

Well as you can see most of them are JE artists.. ^_^ (definitely a music fan of ARASHI and NEWS) Now i wonder if Johnny-san is planning to conquer HOLLYWOOD?!?!? just a thought! ^_- He has already sucessfully (invaded) influenced most of the countries in Asia and some parts of Europe with Japanese music and jdoramas..

With Akanishi Jin (formerly Kat-tun member) sent to the US to do concerts, I wonder who'll be the next JE artist to follow Jin's footsteps? I've got this "hunch" that there might be a possibility that it'll be Yamashita Tomohisa... I'm really hoping he'll not leave NEWS.. since he already said he won't leave the group even though his already starting his solo tour..

Here's the schedule of Yamapi's 1st solo tour!! (credit to A-chan)
