Fact: The people in Okinawa are more talented that the rest of Japan.

That’s a big claim, and you’re going to get people asking where the evidence is for this “fact”.

You missed out D-51, Orange Range and Mongol 800 (who played at my friend’s wedding after-party).
Don’t get me wrong: Okinawa has produced some good musical artists, and I love this prefecture that I call home. But the first comment is stretching things a little.

Hey don’t count out Kiroro and Rimi Natsukawa!
Yes, the 1st claim was probably too big, but you can safely say that Okinawa produces LOTS of music talents FOR SURE ^Ô^
