samurai champloo  /  サムライチャンプルー (2004-2005)

a classic

Not me who has just connected two neurons for no good reason, this morning, and realised that Hajun's MC name, as well as his date of birth (8th April), is literally the pronunciation of his name:

4 = yon (the pronunciation of his surname, Yeon). 8 = hachi (reference to the first part of his name, Haj) Ladies and Gentlemen, this is brilliant. I've known Paradox Live since the early days and I only noticed this today. I feel like such an idiot.

What's your favourite J-pop song?

Welcome to the J-pop song showdown! Not much else to say, submit your favourite songs to the form below!

A few rules:

-I say pop, but any genre is accepted so long as it's Japanese!

-Please don't submit songs made with Vocaloid or other vocal synths. I love Vocaloid as much as the next person, but there are multiple other tournaments for them and I'd prefer to keep the focus on human singers

-Submissions close January 20th

-I'm aiming for a bracket of 32, but it may be more or less depending on how many submissions I get

-And with all that said, have fun!
