Fukuoka Factoid (Like Ayu's Hometown)
Just came across this interesting information while reading about Ayumi Hamasaki...
Fukuoka has produced a higher number of successful music artists than any other city in Japan. Big names in J-pop include Ayumi Hamasaki (allegedly Japan's richest woman), hugely popular singer/songwriter duo Chage & Aska, Shiina Ringo, Spitz, MISIA and Yui. During the 1970s, local musicians prided themselves on their origins and dubbed their sound, Mentai Rock.
In recent years, the music scene has been rejuvenated by the
willingness of local players to perform with foreign musicians located
in the area. These hybrid bands include the likes of Fever, Cut
Flowers, Dr. Funkinstein, F8 & The Routes.
