In Japan, Michael Jackson received a "Legend Award" at MTV's Japan Music Video Awards. Go figure, this is M.J.'s first appearance since his acquital for you-know-what. This just goes to show that while the Japanese are ahead of us in most everything, they can't hold a candle to our pop-culture. I just don't understand why the Japanese, and everyone else for that matter, are so interesting in our music. I mean, it's in English! Unless they translate it... Even then, a live performance would just be kind of silly. I can imagine a Japanese translator trying to keep up with Jackson's crazy lyrics. He'll probably commit hara-kiri right there to relieve the stress. Then, the concert hall would have to supply everyone with little earplugs to hear the translation. Not to mention the translator's untimely demise. Then where would they be? Maybe they just enjoy the music to enjoy the music. Ha! That's crazy talk.

There's nothing wrong with listening to foriegn music. Sometimes when you aren't overly concerned with what being said, you can focus on the feel of the music. Alot of people listen to foreign music as it is.
