They actually sound great, good on them... few nations in the world admire and emulate American culture quite like the Japanese
The weird part about it all, is I've read many accounts of Americans living in Japan that aren't very flattering... seems like if you're not a big "somebody", you're kind of an outcast in their midst |

I dig it. And you're right, they still have jazz fever, love metal and baseball.
I have a bass playing buddy who lived and played in Japan in the early 90's. Said it took him a while to get used to how much more reserved the people are and how small some of the doorways are. |

Pretty darn good. But it's a given they will be good with the musical instruments. They don't have the nasally twang down on the vocals.

Also the biggest thing that people in Western culture have trouble adapting to/wrapping their minds around is the concept of honne and tatamae, that what you say or express in public may not be your true opinion that you only share amongst your close friends. Group harmony and consensus are valued much more than the individuals wants or desires. |
