I Can See Japan

I was a fan before I knew it.

It was curiosity that put it on my Christmas list.

My first listen. Driving to work. Imagine my surprise when I recognized songs.

Songs sampled by Kahimi Karie.

The Japanese reinterpretations of Western music, mainstream or otherwise. How they then assemble those reinterpretations into songs. Sampling. Emulating.

It never ceases to amaze me.
