First asian to succeed in American music industry?

^ True but those bands you listed are rock bands, rock music is a lot more universal imo so they don't have to go through all those changes. The only pop artists I can think of who have a HUGE worldwide following are like..Britney Spears, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, Cher?, & Christina Aguilera. All of them are from the U.S, there aren't that many overseas pop singers who have been able to achieve continued success in America/ the whole world. If BoA is able to succeed it would be quite an accomplishment, even if her music sucks


in other news I'm glad you liked Maki's song better than BoA's \o/ I agree about the anime thing though. If she would get a deal with places like gaia online (lol) or even get the theme to a anime to promote her songs she would probably get well known. She doesn't do that kind of music anymore though :>

yar thats the same person
