well… Yes… But who the heck cares? Gotta do what you enjoy right? :D
The funny thing about the video with pon pon, is that there only are English comments talking about Japan and how strange it is lol. It would be like basing your view of the west around lady gaga hahaha xD

Now that I have posted here, I feel that I need to include a song. And for some reason this has been horribly stuck in my head ever since I saw the AKB live@SBD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCl59bb_oEc

I like that song a lot even if it is an odd choice for a game set in that era. I imported that game and it’s pretty great, the font is easy to read for kanji too so I can recommend it wholeheartedly! (no western localisation)

Found some more catchy songs that will make you wonder why I can hate ponponpon, because I enjoy these.

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away (i.e. the old forum), there was a “What are you listening to thread”. In it, I asked for some recommendations, and there was a song I heard that I really liked, but I can’t remember the name of it (or even the name of the group who sung it) >.< It was a Christmas song. Alternated between a girl and a guy, the girl singing and the guy rapping. Kind of a funky song with a good beat to it. For the "break" of the song, the girl sang "We wish you a Merry Christmas", while everything slowed down to a more laid back, syncopated beat. Goddamnit, I can hear it in my head perfectly, but I can't remember the name or specific lyrics (besides the part in English, and the chorus containing "Kurisumasuuu" :P). Shit description, but…

I think it was missingno15 that recommended it, along with some other hip-hop/rap guy he seemed to really like at the time haha. Oh, and he also recommended "Promise" by MiChi (really liked that). If you're there missing, do you remember? Was more than a year ago, at least.

@missingno15: Ah, no, that isn’t the one :/ Decent song though, thanks :) I really *should* listen to Japanese radio more; easy way to find new bands.

The song I’m looking for, pretty sure the background image looked pretty similar to this one: http://youtu.be/ggDXGJlXD4E
Hardly much more to go on seeing how generic it is, but maybe just a sleight memory jog :P Was definitely red with some kinda text in the middle.

EDIT: Hot damn! A few minutes later I found it! :D http://youtu.be/zqf5DO5Jh2o
Pink, red, close enough…
