K-Pop Night at Ozon

Big Bang - Fantastic Baby

I never got the opportunity to experience any Korean music prior to coming to Japan. It's been the rage for quite a while, but like most crazes, it's hard to learn if you don't have someone who already has "the fever".... and boy, what a fever it is. Korean Pop, as far as I'm concerened, is extremely on the pulse. Great dancing and spectacle. Perhaps a bit OTT in some cases but stunning nonetheless. Somehow if this kind of music were in English, by English people, it would have very different connotations. Nonetheless, good music is great if it makes you emotional, in any culture or language.

A short list of K-Pop songs I like:
Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra (skip to 0:35) The hip action is crazy.
Kara - Jumping
Girls' Generation - Run Devil, Run
Psy - Gangnam Style
TVXQ! - Keep Your Head Down
