Track 04. DJ OZMA 紅白歌合戦 2006

Certain parts are censored to follow accordance of Blogspots rules.

The areas are said to be bodysuits but still censored for good measure.

So 2006 has come and gone and in Japan the year was brought to an end with the 57th annual 紅白歌合戦. If you don't know what 紅白歌合戦 is, go here. I'm currently midway through my taped copy my friend who has NHK gave me. However, there was one performance that has been getting so much J-Pop attention that I had to download and see for myself. This was DJ OZMA's 1st 紅白歌合戦 performance. For the last fourth of アゲ♂アゲ♂EVERY☆騎士 {Knight}, female backup dancers paraded in "bodysuits" covering their chests then got rid of the bottom undergarments and had some things covering that area. Needless to say, NHK, the station that broadcasts 紅白歌合戦 over the world has been catching a little bit of scrutiny. For the internet world, many have been arguing whether they were really body suits.

Here's my take on the incident. After looking closely at whether the chest is bodysuited or not, I believe the women were truly in bodysuits. Everything appears to tightly to the skin and a couple of the women's suits have a airbrushed look in that area. However, whether in bodysuit or not, this image was inappropriate for TV because there are younger views who watch this.

Bottom Line: Watch for yourself and enjoy 紅白歌合戦 2006!

Track 01. デビュー

Welcome to RRR音楽 ~Rrrongaku!~, my music blog! The three "R's" stand for Review, Ranking, and Ramblings. Most of the music that will be "R"ed will be Japanese music. However, Korean and English language music will not be left out.

Review
I will review the latest (and sometimes not so latest) songs, singles, albums, and PVs. All things reviewed will be ranked with a one-to-ten scale (ten being highest...).

Ranking
Rrrongaku will have it's own ranking chart, doPi ランキング. This chart is based off of monthly play counts from my iPod (it is my blog after all). These will be compiled together at the end of the year to have a yearly ranking. There will be a yearly chart for 2006, but the monthly chart will not begin until January 2007. Occassionally I may also bring you Oricon or World chart news as well.

Ramblings
Basically I will give my opinion on happenins in the music world or release information.

Enjoy the reading!♪
