I am not really the one who regularly update news about Japanese music, even music in any other country including Indonesia. However I dared to show off that my ears and (a little) music soul (or talent? :grin:) still work well to identify the good ones. He he. Long time of not having a favorite singer or song, recently Uemura Kana is intriguing me. I bet she is much more decent to be #1 singer of Japan than AKB48 (and sisters)with their “nya nya nya” voice and bitchy style :razz:.

My interest to Uemura’s masterpiece began in the early weeks of my coming to Japan, some weeks after 311 earthquake. In the middle of news and ads themed “がんばろう、日本！”, from my friend’s television, her touching-melody song aired on TV Asahi every morning. I was curious about that song, but I have no television at home and my Japanese was damn bad so I couldn’t perceive any single word in that song. I had no idea to ask Google. Yesterday, I just found it on YouTube! Yey 🙂 Actually I just known her name as I opened the video :mrgreen:. She looks adorable with her guitar. The song entitled “キミとぼく”(You and I/Kau dan Aku).
