L I N G O #7: Emo
Hello, hello and welcome to a very special “emo” edition of LINGO.
Listening to the mixdown, I heard myself promise you some Japanese music, but I don’t think I delivered on it. There were a few Korean artists who have crossed over into Japan, but I think they’re singing in their native tongue here. Can anyone confirm?
In any case, it’s a helluva show. Enjoy.
