^I think that Japan not having the initiative on the International Market is quite sad actually. During the early 00's JPOP was REALLY catching on and Japan could have really done something with it besides putting the songs as tie ins for animes and video games like Inuyasha and Final Fantasy. There seems to be a few selective Japanese artists that want to really reach out to the Intl fans but its more the individual and not the companies themselves. The top 4 I can name off top of my head at the moment would be Kuu, Hikki, Namie & L'Arc~en~Ciel.

As for Bon Voyage I admit I've only seen the preview of SMYH PV and listened to the preview of WG. Im trying to save most of it for when the full thing leaks.
