hearing songs you know in foreign restaurants

[lanfix]

I live in Jakarta and sometimes when I go to Japanese restaurant they play famous Japanese songs such as Hikki's First Love or Toshinobu Kubota's LALALA Love Song (it's quite famous coz a local TV channel has aired the dorama Long Vacation in my country long time ago) I even heard YUI's Goodbye Days played in a restaurant.

The funny thing is, they added some Chinese songs into the playlist. I thought maybe they can't distinguish Japanese and Chinese songs LOL

[Lora-Ayu]

Three years ago, I was in a Japanese fast food chain (in the Philippines) enjoying my california maki dipped in shoyu & wasabi when I suddenly stopped because I heard a familiar intro of the song being played that time~

It was Ayu's Evolution. Oh I just suddenly started singing and people were actually staring at me like I'm nuts.
When the song was over, I continued eating like nothing happened. The next songs were Utada's Automatic, L'arc's Dive to Blue etc...

Some months ago I was in Vegas, dinning on Hyakumi (asian restaurant at Caesar's Palace) and suddenly JEWEL began playing... it was quite nice

I heard Ken Hirai's song, Pop Star, in a Japanese restaurant. I also heard Yuna Ito's Endless Story in the same restaurant, either before or after they played the Pop Star song.

[U-GO-BOY]

I was once in Poland for vacation and I went into a store for electronic stuff like TV's and radios and they were playing Ayu's Connected. I was sooo excited to hear it there and my dad just thought I was crazy lol

Well...there's this Japanese ramen shop in my Japantown and they play a lot of Lady gaga I think they've only played JPOP once....it was some artist I never heard before.

Um, in the Nijiya market, they play ayu, utada, YUI, etc all the time. I like going shopping there .

Hahah, if there were any restaurants that played all Ayu music in my area, I'd go there every single day!
