Japanese pop music scene

Japanese pop music scene is not good, furthermore, it's almost corrupted.
The hit charts are dominated by idle groups, and general Japanese people haven'T heard even The Rolling Stones. Can you believe it?

If you come to Tokyo, you can find this mark quite easily.



The T-shirts with this mark are quite popular in Tokyo.
You might ask him,
"Hey, do you like The Rolling Stones? Which song do you like the best?"
Then he replies,
"Sorry, I've never listened to The Rolling Stones"
You:"............."

This is the current music cultural level among general Japanese people.

However, there are a few musicians who get not only popularity but also the high musical ability in Japan.
Tonight I show you one of them.



This band is called "Tokyo Jihen", in English, "Tokyo Incidents"
I hope they raise the level of Japanese pop music culture.
How is the situation of the other country's music culture?
