On the evening of 13th July 2007 during the Golden League athletics meet in Rome, Finn javelin thrower Tero Pitkamaki slipped at the end of his run-up of his 3rd throw, hurling the javelin 40m off-course to the left of the landing area, spearing French long jumper Salim Sidiri who was crouching in the long […]

Teresa Teng (1952-1995) is probably the best Chinese singer who ever lived. This is her singing one of her most well-known songs live: Tian Mi Mi.

I think Freddie Aguilar’s best song, melodically speaking, is Magdalena, and not the reputedly 30-million seller Anak. The original version of this song is played at a fast tempo, the live version here is much slower.

BEGIN is a 3-piece band from Okinawa. I think this is their best song. I don’t think it’s the music video, but at least you can hear the studio version of the song.

Originally written by Kazufumi Miyazawa, the lead singer of the rock band The Boom (who are not even Okinawans) and released in 1993, it was the group’s best-selling single, at 1.5 million copies sold. The song has been covered by quite a few people, but […]

It was rerecorded in 1988 and released as a single, becoming his no.1 hit on the Japanese singles chart. He’s one of the best selling male Japanese […]
