Adding some diversity to the K/Jpop heavy thread with some Thai pop!
This song was on the radio a lot when I was there earlier in the year. The singer reminds me of an Asian Robert Smith so I'll support them just for that.
I had a sort of What moment when I was in a taxi cab and this song came on. I was sooo not expecting the traditional music! It's cool though, and I like that it's bringing more Thai kids to appreciate their own culture.
Also, one of the guys in 2PM is actually, Thai. And half of HOT went to my rival HS back in the day (I was more of a sechskies gal myself, lol) so it should be more like Asian-American Kpop? It's so crazy how many Asian pop stars are actually born and raised in the good ol' US of A. One girl in my HS left after junior year, moved to Korea, got eyelid surgery, and became a pop star, ha! I wish I could remember her stage name...
Also, the vid of Utada Hikaru First Love took me waaaaaay back. I felt my heart sink a bit in my chest just seeing the title! Love that song....a norebang staple!!!!
