SMAP - Heroes In Japan!

When I visited in Japan last year , I ran across this great boys band - SMAP.

The leader of the band is Kimura Takuya and he is one big shot in Japan. (The girls are crazy about him)...

I love thier music.

The tunes are mainly jazz and funk, quite fun and entertaining. When I first listened to it, I thought it was pretty cool and interesting because it is very different from other pop boybands.

Watch SMAP in thier greatest hit of all time 'Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana' :

In da Club - 50 Cents

I was on vacation several years ago, and they played this song EVERYWHERE.

It is inescapable. They played it in the mall, on TV, at the supermarket, and, yep, even in the clubs.

The beat is hot, and groove is catchy.

"In Da Club" was definitely the "dumb fun" single of 2003.

In fact, it's so tight, it almost made me run out and buy 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Trying." Almost.
