Kome Kome Club - FUNK FUJIYAMA
Kome Kome Club (pronounced "Come Come Club") with their 80s tune about all the stereotypes Gaijin (foreigners) tended to have about Japan, its people and their culture. Sadly, much of these stereotypes still prevail today, at least from those who have not lived in Japan or visited it. Even more unfortunate is that these can sometimes be wrongly assumed by Japanese to still be common stereotypes even amongst those who have visited or lived in Japan, which today with the Internet (for those interested to do their own fact-finding) and greater openness of Japanese culture, is rarely the case. Still this is a catchy tune with a message about racial stereotypes.

Chemical Brothers - Do It Again (LIVE at Fuji Rock 2007)
This entire Fuji Rock 2007 concert line-up was absolutely incredible: The Cure, Beastie Boys, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Answer, Kings of Leon, Simian Mobile Disco, Muse, The Ataris, Groove Armada, Ash, Less Than Jake, Yellowcard, Tokyo Ska Orchestra, Peter Bjorn & John, Mika, Joss Stone and many, many more... but surprisingly enough to me (who's not even into techno at all) it was the closing act on Sunday night, The Chemical Brothers, who rocked the Echigo-Sanzan mountains of Niigata the hardest...
