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.

This week’s playlist:

Jane – Ben Folds Five

Besame Mucho – Diana Krall

他還是不懂 – S.H.E.

If You Were Here – BoA

C’est de l’or – Jenifer

Buona Notte – Toto Cotugno

Bring Me the Disco King – David Bowie

내가 눈을 감는 이유 (The Reason Why I Close My Eyes) – 태빈

你要的愛 – 戴佩妮

Begin – Dong Bang Shin Ki

Pictures of You – The Cure
