Hello,
I am a musician and my female vocalist and I have been tasked with performing a Japanese song for Japanese dignitaries visiting in the United States.
It's in our best interest to perform something that is a proud piece of Japanese Culture-something that is timeless, but not necessarily old, and would make someone from Japan feel at home when they listen to it.
Some good American examples would be Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, Landslide by Fleetwood Mac, or a pop tune by Michael Jackson or Bruno Mars.
Basically, something any Japanese person would recognize and appreciate.
I realize that this is a really loaded question, but any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
