i tried to upload the japan performance in youtube but damnnnn.... they take copyright thing very seriously. i'm like, chill out japan.... i'm just showing my support. :?
anyway, south korea and japan really impressed me year after year!
i love that they never bother with ballads because they know the rest of the participants will go for that. if the contest finally materialises, i'll definitely vote them tons of times! politically, i don't think anyone hates south korea and japan too. so they'll surely become the "swedens" of asiavision.
but this year, debutant kazakhstan really took the cake for me. that high note is very impressive. really strikes a fear of god in me.
my country, malaysia, sends an unknown singer for the first time and she sung a song released in 2004... that is originally by someone else. i'm so disappointed.
if anyone wanna watch the performances, checkout my channel:
