Favorite J-Pop Singles: Fujii Fumiya / Time Machine

Single from Fujii Fumiya, the man best known as the lead singer for the Checkers as well as the man that my co-worker Wayne once called “The Japanese Bryan Adams” No word on whether that was a compliment or an insult from him!

Time Machine was one of the very first songs I ever attempted to sing at Karaoke,and oh man, if Fumiya Fujii was there to have heard that, he would have jumped into that Time Machine and gotten his butt outta there as fast as he could!

I remember after trying to sing it, seeing this performance of Time Machine off of POPJAM, and I don't know WHAT Fumiya's doing in this perf, busting out Michael Jackson moves, posing dramatically and and spinning around on his butt, but it was very silly indeed! When I went over that night, we both watched Fumiya doing his wacky moves before they said to me, "This is that song you were singing, huh." AHAHAHAHAHA

Still an occasional karaoke fave to butcher, by the way!
