Mandopop: Sophia Wang - Fly Fly Fly & Beautiful

There *is* something about thrashy EDM songs that can be quite attractive and Sophia Wang follows up the recent semi-interesting Beautiful with just a heavy beat-techno by giving us "Fly Fly Fly". While listening, why not read a suitably "trashy" article on her complicated  love life?

Jpop: Scandal (スキャンダル)

If I was to mention the girl pop band I respect the most, even though I may not listen to them the most, it is Scandal, consisting of Haruna (lead vocals), Mami (lead guitar), Tomomi(bass) and Rina(drums), who formed their band during high school and then has stuck together since then, plays classic rock music with all that it entails with a touch of japanese kawaii. Watching their live finishing piece, Space Ranger, is actually the truest way of first experiencing them.

• Scandal - Kagen no Tsuki
• Scandal - Space Ranger (Live, song starts at 5 mins)
• Scandal - Pinheel Surfer
• Scandal - Shunkan Sentimental

Ukrainian pop: Ana Baston

Doesnt Ukrainian Ana Baston sometimes look very much like Sandra Bullock, or is it just me?
