Nana Mizuki's first single and released song "Tsugazakura" つがざくら

In 1993, she released Compact Cassette single "Tsugazakura" (つがざくら lit. "Phyllodoce Nipponica") as "Nana Kondo". However, she passed the audition of game Noël: La Neige and became a seiyuu.

I joined Nana Mizuki Fans on facebook.

Since she is trained as an enka singer, No wonder she sang enka. Her voice is beautiful and I cannot imagine that from listening to jpop, I now listen to her enka song here.

K'naan - The now rising Afropop star!

Before the World Cup 2010 came, I am already aware of K'naan. He is a Somali-Canadian poet, rapper, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist.

This is one of his best songs:



About the Wavin Flag, this version has different lyrics from the Coca-Cola and World Cup song:

BTW, this is his 3rd song from the Troubadour album.



Waka Waka is great and catchy but I prefer this for the FIFA World Cup 2010 official song. Anyway this song has many versions and it looks more popular than Waka Waka.



K'naan is one of the underrated rappers but now, I think he will get what he deserves in the music industry.
