My hit counter for Jpopnow.com got freaky!

It's sad to say but my page counter on my Jpop webpage erased about 6,000 hits so.... I will start the contest to celebrate 4,000 hit's and not 10,000. Which should still be next week;That means that I will be making the official video for my youtube channel and www.jpopnow.com
Don't worry.
If you are there please email and if you read this,please leave a comment.
I know of some things that I will do to make the site better and i want your imput too.
Keep listening to jpop and visiting Jpopnow.com
I don't know when people can watch yet so, The live shows will be recorded until i can get a good air time for everyone.
Thanks,
Scott(and Osakaben)

The Jpop thing is coming together.

Hey everyone,
I have done a lot(and i mean a lot)of work such as learning code,learning new blogs,podcasts and streaming media techniques; As soon as the Oricon Jpop charts are out, there will be a new Jpopnow Live Top Ten Countdown program on streaming video or as I like to say, Internet TV(that may not be the correct term but, that's what i call it.)
So, you guys can check out www.jpopnow.com and my youtube channels or any of the channels linked to the network. You can find out the information.
So, there is going to be Jpop,More Jpop and Jpop all of the time. Also, there is a contest coming up to celebrate 10,000 hits on www.jpopnow.com and to welcome everyone to the blogs,podcasts and internet tv versions of jpopnow.
As the network improves so will the content of the shows and prizes for future events. The light at the end of the tunnel is approaching. It was a lot of hard work and hard times but, Next week, All of the things possible to make the Jpopnow countdown show will be ready and I will let you know by a post on every channel and blog about the first of many jpop shows to come.
You can see my gmail account address at the top of this blog; Everywhere else, I believe there is a link to my hotmail. Please leave a comment,an email address,or subscribe(where you can)
I'm looking forward to your participation to make this a great network for Jpop lovers,japanese languae learners and english learners from japan to enjoy. Let's be friends and have fun together. One more thing please reply to the posts on the blogs so I can learn who you are.
Arigatou,

Jpop is under attack?

Hello everyone,
It seems these days that there are is a big scandal in Japan. Recently, there has been a huge wave of Korean Pop Stars and television and Korean dramas being featured on Fuji Television. My view is "It's all good!" In America, over the past several years, Saturday Morning cartoons(animation)have been directly or indirectly influenced by Japanese Anime; You see the obvious style elements and Japanese names in the ending credits.
Does the present influx of Korean talent threaten Jpop? I doubt it. BoA Kwon is Korean and Sings in Korean(in Korea)and sings in Japanese(in Japan). Does it matter what nationality of talent is on the television or radio? In the USA we have such an influence on Pop music that groups from all over the world come here and even learn English to be a success in America.
Please leave a comment for me and give me your thoughts.
Have a great day!
