Music in Japan

Even though Japan is on the other side of the world, the U.S. is more similiar in music to Japan than many other countries. Japanese teenage music is fast with a lot of techno. Also, depending on the artist, their music sounds just like ours, just in a different language. Many Japanese artists get their inspiration from the Rappers we listen to everyday. So Japanese teens aren't that much different from us after all. Most Japanese rappers have the same style and swagg as some of our rappers. It is believed that Japanese performers get paid much more than U.S. rappers. If Japanese and U.S. music is similiar, then why is it that the two countries differ? Also, do you think that their music influences them the same way that our music influences us?

Mutants in China!

Villagers were shocked after a monkey-like piglet was born in China. The pig belongs to Feng Changlin of Fengzhang village in rural China. Reports say the piglet looks just like a monkey with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. It's rear legs are much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk. The piglet is one of five newborns, all of which look normal, which the family had raised for nine years. It is called hideous so no one will buy it. Neighbors suggest keeping it to see how it matures. What do you think? Is this the result of mating between species or a twisted experiment gone wrong in a chinese lab when a try at advances in controlling genetic manipulation were concocted.
