this is why and how the japanese blow my mind.
video games- originally american (right?)
big band- quite american
so they combine two american things, and somehow that is sooo japanese i can't even stand it.

roffle @ astroid- you are so right, dude. I think a lot of western-ish things done by asian cultures get seen as bad approximations incorrectly. Theres a lot of great vietnamese and thai pop that came around in the 1960s-70s that in some ways sounds like motown and gets passed off as copies of that- but if you listen carefully to the arrangements, they're mind blowing.
Now, when westerners do things that are sort of asian, its usually horrid. Just look at the things they are doing to tea.
