If I had to live without K-Pop, Playlist... Part 1

Okay so I probably had a slightly unfair advantage with this one, while yes K-Pop is the bulk of what I listen to, I also have a fair selection of J-Pop, Mando-Pop, C-Pop, and V-Pop ect. that I love listening to :)
Here is but a taste of some of the songs I love, outside of K-Pop :D

1. Ayumi Hamasaki - Marrionette

Queen Ayu!!! The live version is the only version fully available on YouTube, but I'll include a link to where you can watch the full MV, this girl is so incredible considering she is deaf in one ear!
You can watch the whole MV right >>here<< if you wish to ^^

2. Yun Duo - My LouLan

Which basically means "My Northern Kingdom" or "My China"
I love this song so much, and her voice is so incredible, plus I adore the aesthetic of this music video, simple yet classy ^^

3. Xu Liang - Mr. Rainbow (Feat. Shiga Lin)

Do not ask me why I like this song, don't judge, simply listen XD
So I know its weird, and really makes absolutely no sense, but if you can get past that it's actually a pretty cool song... I feel rather vulnerable sharing this song lol
I do think this would possibly work as a great Skittles advert :P

4. Đông Nhi - Vì Ai Vì Anh

Vietnam's take on Twilight XD, not really, but in my personal opinion a better movie could have been made from this MV lol
I adore this song, so funky \(^o^)/

5. Coke Lee - Let Me Love You

So I'll start by saying this guy possibly has the coolest name in existence lol
But seriously this is such a cool song and the MV is really sweet, bit of a slow jam, but there is nothing wrong with that!

6. Alan - Ashite e no Sanka

(The song title means "A Hymn For Tomorrow")
Love this song so much, the MV is a little bit strange, but I still think it's cool ^^

7. [Alexandros] - Wataridori

Loosely translates to "Migratory Birds" and the MV is about one of two best friends moving away.. kind of sad, but it's a really great song either way :)

8. Sekai No Owari - Death Disco

So I love every single thing about this ^^
This group is kind of goofy and wacky but I love that :D
That water falling in the background of their stage, in the shape of question marks is so cool ^^
Fun Fact - the leader of this band Fukase is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's boyfriend

9. Kumi Koda - Dance in the Rain

Another fantastic song... unfortunately the full version isn't available on YouTube, but you can still watch it if you click this link right >>here<< I promise it's worth it ^^

10. Leehom Wang - Dream Life

Okay so he's clearly not much of a dancer, but give him a break, this song is so fun and upbeat ^^

11. G.E.M - Long Distance

Don't cry... well it's okay if you do cause I did, I'm pretty sure this song is about long distance relationships

12. Hirose Satoshi "Jimmy" Obsession - "FLASHBACK"

J-Rock! I Love it, what can I say XD

13. Perfume - 575 (Haiku)

I never expected to hear these girls rap, I love them, and I am so hooked on this song ^^

14. 365Daband - ANH SỢ MẤT EM

More V-Pop greatness, upbeat song, the MV is a little bit sad, but overall a fantastic song :)

15. Namie Amuro - Anything

So yes this is sung in English, but she is still Japanese so it still counts XD
and it's a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics :D

16. Fujita Maiko - Soredemo Watashiwa

This girl is like the queen of Anime themes XD
this song is actually from a game though, how awesome is that ^^

17. JJ Lin - Beautiful (Feat. G.E.M)

I love collaborations, especially good ones, and this one is beautiful :P

18. Kimberley Chen - Good Girl (Feat. Xiao Jie)

I love everything about this, nuff said XD

19. Misia - Deepness

Turn the volume up, cause it makes it sound epic ^^
Okay I love this song, but seriously what is up with the whole turban look XD
I'm talking about the whole "Yes I just showered and put my hair up in a towel, but it's a fancy sparkly towel" look she has going on lol, I still love it though XD
I was going to do 20 songs but it seems it won't let me add anymore tabs :'(
Look forward to further parts of my playlist later ^^ I have soooo many songs I want to share so I don't know how many parts I'll be doing just yet XD

You create a playlist according to the given theme. 2. You can use any Asian music you like, doesn't just have to be K-Pop, but it must be relevant. 3. You can basically add as many songs as you like, (has to be more than 2) the normal amount is about 10 songs. 4. Remember to tag me (@MattK95) in you card so that I will definitely see it and clip it to "The Soundtrack to Life" collection, and tag the person who came up with the playlist theme, in this case it's @jiggzy19, that will change with every playlist theme though! 5.

Why Don't Idol Groups Work In America?
In Japan and Korea, idols are a huge deal. The fandoms surrounding idols and idol groups are massive, with a ton of merch, lingo, events, etc surrounding the entertainers. So why isn't that happening in America? The UK tried it out with One Direction and we have a few girl groups like Fifth Harmony and Little Mix, but for the most part the classic pop group ensemble faded away in the early 2000s. Here are a few reasons why it might not work: I'm not saying either opinion is correct - just stating how the general public views celebrities in America vs Korea/Japan. I'm not an expert on either so please share your opinions as well! 1. The Concept of Being An Idol Sure, celebrities in the US know that they are role models, but do they really take this as their job?! In Japan and Korea, a single slip up can mean public humiliation (such as when an AKB48 member had a boyfriend - she had to shave her head as an apology) while in America celebrities insist on their personal rights to do whatever they want. In their opinion, just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you aren't allowed a personal life. They should be able to be in the lime light but also have a lot of personal life that shouldn't be judged by the public, In Japan/Korea, every aspect of an entertainers life is analyzed and people know that is just part of the job. You must be a model citizen at all times and any bad behaviour (whether its on or off camera) is bad for your company, your career, and your fans. 2. Company Loyalty In America, we know the big companies like Warner, Sony, etc, but we rarely pay attention to what label each artist is on. And even if they're on the same label they don't really work together so its hard for fans to be loyal to one company. The closest I think we can get to that is waaay back with Motown Records or more recently the bands that came out on Fueled By Ramen. Smaller hip hop labels still keep this group style too! We could actually see the connection the artists had on those labels and could support the label as well as the artists. Now in Korea, we all know that companies are a big deal. YG Family, JYP, Cube, SM, etc. They do things together like concerts, Christmas songs, etc. We are able to anticipate the company's new project or collaboration. It's easier for the fans to get hyped over multiple groups at once. 3. Pre-Packaged In America, bands are usually put together by the band members. Whether they start in a garage or they put up flyers to find members, it is the band that forms first, then the label that signs them. In Korea and Japan however, we have a TON of trainees all hoping to be perfectly placed in a group. Think of the show Produce! Perfect example of prepackaging :) One Direction is an example of that happening where the boys were somewhat put together by a label, but musical and personality differences got in the way :/ 4. Training Idols train a LOT. Sure, in America entertainers practice, train, get vocal lessons, learn new instruments, get prepped for interviews etc but they are not forced to practice for 12 hours a day. Living in dorms without cell phones or internet, being forced to learn languages, dances, public speaking, etc - its totally normal in the idol world. Because of this, idols should be pretty prepared for anything. I'm not so sure American entertainers would be up for this style of training. Can you think of other reasons why the "idol" style of the music industry doesn't work in America?

If I Had To Live Without K-Pop (Playlist Challenge part 2)
Here goes the second part of my playlist ^^ If you havent seen the first part of this playlist you can check it out >>here<< If you want to see more of the awesome playlists from this challenge and other challenges you can check them out >>here<< 20. Landy Wen - Fly With Me The title track from a current Taiwanese drama "Murphy's law of Love" which I might add I am loving every single minute of, I reccomend it to anyone, It's so awesome, a bit like this song is, I am in love with this song, Check it out, you won't be dissapointed ^^ 21. Ayumi Hamasaki - Last Minute I Love Ayumi Hamasaki so much!!! I wasn't expecting the point in this song where the electric guitars kick in, but I still really enjoyed it :) This MV also has one of the coolest uses of lighting I have ever seen, just watch it you'll see what I mean ^^ 22. Da Mouth - Swag (Warning lotta booty...) My favorite Taiwanese group ^^ First I would like to apologise for the amount of... booty shaking in this MV, if you can get past that it's a pretty awesome song! Plus the stylistic use of the color pop against a black and white background is so cool!!! 23. Andrew Tan - Imperative (Feat. Bii) I found this song on iTunes thanks to @jiggzy19 who introduced me to Bii, I love this song so much, you guys are really missing out if you haven't heard Bii or Andrew Tan before. 24. Weibird Wei - Mask Ok so when I first watched this MV I was a little confused, but after watching it a few times I came to this understanding: All the different people you see the main girl with, are all meant to represent a different "Mask" or persona that he uses to portray himself as perfect infront of the girl he likes, at the end of the MV, he finally decides to take off the "Masks" and let her know who he really is... I really like this song, and am currently wondering why it is not on my iPod... (I don't know why but this guy reminds me of a cross between Wu Yi Fan and Eric Nam XD) 25. Hebe Tien - Insignificance Well this MV certainly qualifies as artistic, something about this song is almost entrancing... Or maybe it's just the fact I think she's really pretty XD Sort of a strange song, but I still really enjoy it :) 26. Jay Chou - Rhythm of the Rain Not gonna lie guys, got a little bit teary during this song... All I'm going to say is I really love this song, and this MV is really sweet :) 27. Hari Won - Hương Đêm Bay Xa And now I am going to introduce you to a few awesome V-Pop (Vietnamese Pop) songs 3 to be exact XD I love this song, definitely one of my favorite V-Pop songs ^^ Thankyou @jiggzy19 for showing me this :) 28. MIN from ST. 319 - Y.Ê.U (EDM Version) This song is so cool! I really enjoy everything about this, not sure what else to say other than the fact I love her purple hair :D I hope you like it :) 29. MIN from St. 319 - Shine Your Light (Feat. Justatee) This song came out 3 days ago, and I fell in love with it the moment I heard it, Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves this ^^ 30. Wang Leehom - Cracked Heart Well this is my final song, I could have done many many more, but unfortunately time is a factor, and it's getting rather late... Anyway I hope you enjoy this song, It's another one of those songs I find so entrancing to listen to, I find myself playing it over and over while lost in thought XD Oh and I like his shoes... I need a pair of those lol Well that is it for my Non-Kpop playlists I will have the new challenge posted soon^^ Let me know what you thought of these songs :) Credit to the owners of these music videos!!! @jiggzy19
