My Favorite New Japanese Pop Band is White

Checkee outtee the video above. This is the first band out of Japan since M-Flo to really knock me down with their sound. Not that I hear much Japanese music these days–there’s something morally wrong about paying $40 for CD, which is what those Japanese record companies gouge, I mean, charge, us Americans.  I learned about Monkey Majik after youtubing an M-Flo collaboration (check out the m-flo link…they can rap too!).  Monkey Majik, according to wiki, is half white.

Monkey Majik is a Japanese pop-rock band formed in 2000, consisting of two Canadian brothers (Maynard and Blaise Plant) and two Japanese members (Tax and Dick).
