Coming in at No.5 this week is a song by Morning Musume. The group is rather like an Idol type show with auditions being held roughly every six months. Shown as part of NHK's Hello! Project, Morning Musume has had 29 members who have been rolled through the group since 1997, generally they are no older than 22 years old. Suffice to say, it falls squarely in the J-Pop category of music.
J-Pop for the most part is even more upbeat that pop in the west, some would call it hyper. What a pity we don't get NHK on cable.
