I've just listened to Gitogito Hustler, from Japan, again and I love them.

But they were on an American label, and played rock'n'roll; apart from the delivery of the lyrics, it's not that far from what I hear the most (US and UK), except that I like it a lot.
So does it really count that they're Japanese?

I'd add that I despised most French singers when I was younger, for I have an aversion for all that Parisian cliché (Pigalle + accordion and stuff). The sole French artists present in my discotheque don't sound like French to me (Phoenix, les Calamités).

So I guess my group of records look a bit "racist" in that respect.
