For those who are into that sort of thing, I've started a new blog about classic Japanese popular music, featuring links to YouTube videos of my favorite songs, lyric translations, and anything else I might have to say on the topic. So far I've covered Nokko's "Natural," Eigo Kawashima's "Old-Fashioned," and Shogo Hamada's "Before the Love Generation." I'm shooting for a schedule of 3-5 posts per week.
