Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 If your old man said "I'm off to South Korea for a couple of weeks for work, and we're having a day out in Toyko too - do you want me to pick anything up for you?" What would you say? Kimchi and Sushi won't keep, and my dad ain't gonna be buying anything expensive, so what's small and cheap and fun?

Graham Knight Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have been to Korea and Japan many times. Both countries have a vibrant and astonishly varied music scene - everything from old-style Do Wop groups to ultra modern, avant-garde punk.The best thing your Dad could do is to bring back a pile of the Japanese and Korean music magazines that he will see on the airport newstands. The music press is very colourful and it is easy to get the gist of what the articles are saying. They often use English in advertisements and many of the magazines have demo CD's. A few of these magazines will certainly give you some wild ideas.If you click on the link below, the lower half of the page that appears has links to six Japanese groups that are in regular touch with me. If you persevere and dig into these sites you will find that as well as having links to Japanese and Korean music companies, promoters, gigs etc they also have message boards. If you post a message in English - you will be surprised at how many musicians will reply.KYLE ESPLIN - Mr BOOGIE WOOGIE - picks links to the World's best Rock 'R' Roll websitesJapan and Korea are both huge markets for music. Toshiba is EMI's partner there, JVC's label is mainly jazz and "far-out" groups, Sony has a massive operation that runs the gamut of all types of music from classical to George Michael.

Foreskin Ninja Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 when a friend of mine went to Japan I asked him to buy me an action figure of an anime girl shitting all over herself but he was too ashamed to go into the stores that sold them, it would be weird asking your dad for something like that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
