I thought they were all pleasant but amazingly dated; very much like the kind of tracks I used to reject in my Eurovision filtering process.
And why do the girls - all pretty and with decent voices - adopt the Western look so determinedly?
Surely the teenage culture isn't totally dominated by the US/UK?
Or perhaps, sadly, it is and the cultures have not developed in any different direction.

I agree on that one - Coventry/Leamington seems to be the place for new bands these days. Birmingham had a spate of new bands in early 2000's but not so much these days.

The custard factory in brum is a huge complex of music and media types - promoters, artists, djs etc. There is a lot of non-band music going on in brum right now, the bands in the midlands seem to be more centred around coventry / leamington.

It was a touch decision, but I narrowed it down to one song from each country:
Chinese Jolin Tsai: "Xu Yuan Chi De Xi La Shao Nu"
Japanese Namie Amuro "Wo Wa"
Korean BoA "Amazing Kiss"
oh and one more for luck
Namie Amuro "Never End"

but I'd be very interested to hear some good music from the Far East too
