Asia more prominent in West
Sunday, April 01, 2007
This century has been dubbed the Asian century for a while, and now we are finally starting to see some Asian influence in the West.
First of all, we have Korean pop sensation Bi Rain, who sold out two concerts in Madison Square, New York last year. He is currently studying English and is set to release an album in English this year. He was also listed in the Time 100 list of the most influential people. He has already released an English song, Sad Tango.
Japanese culture is making a comeback, their cartoons, called Anime are gaining more and more popularity. Recently, Naruto Shippuden started airing, it is the sequel to the mega popular Naruto series. The good thing is that you can watch naruto online without having to download, on certain sites.
Also, the Chinese are also gaining popularity. Last year, Meizu released the Mini Player which quickly became popular around the world. This year, they have released the Meizu Music Card - we will have to wait to see how well it sells. Also, Meizu has recently attracted a lot of foreign attention with the announcing of the Meizu M8 phone - a phone who's appearance reminds a lot of the Apple iPhone.
