So just now I was on the wonderful tool that we know as Facebook (a very addicting tool, but we'll get to that at a later date). Anyways, my friend posted a status thing that talked about Wonder Girls being on the radio station 104.3.

Now, in case you were wondering: Wonder Girls is a famous Korean pop girl band that has some songs I get tired of very easily. (Let me scan the area for crazy K-pop fans before I continue on.) Anyways, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's kind of strange for this Korean girl band to have a song playing on the radio in America. (A song that was originally in Korean and now sounds very, very Asian when sung in English.) Especially on a non-Asian pretty popular radio station like FM 104.3.

I guess this just shows how small the world really is. (Another thing Facebook is good at doing.)

I know that a few months back, a Japanese/Korean singer named BoA was playing on the FM radio station 98.9 or whatever it is.

Asian influences really surprises me. I mean, I'm Asian, but sometimes I feel the Asian take over, all the time. I mean, there are so many white people who listen to Asian music and watch Asian TV shows. (Just ask the anime-freaks.)

I'm not saying that this meshing is bad in any way. It's good to get to know and respect cultural aspects from other countries.

All I'm saying is that it's weird.
