Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime
- Thread starter TheBigA
- Start date
But it was one and done for Japanese music. That's hardly a phenomenon.
Now, K-Pop, on the other hand, would qualify. Now that BTS is back together, I wouldn't doubt the possibility of them playing the Superbowl.
Bad Bunny should 100% invite a K-pop artist to perform with him at Super Bowl. I'd love to see him collab with BTS or the Huntr/X singers from K-pop Demon Hunters and make it a celebration of global culture in America. It would be a good counterpoint for our bad times.
That song was a traditional Japanese folk ballad and had nothing to do with sukiyaki (a food). It was given that name so it would be easy for Americans to pronounce and remember.
That is a good idea, both specifically and in principle; a show reflecting the amalgamation of musical styles and origins would be a great show reflecting the traditions of welcoming different cultures. That would show both xenophobes and those abroad that, for the most part, America is a “culture of cultures”.
Try Wikipedia or any other source before posting things like this. “Sukiyaki” was written in 1960 and recorded in 1961.
He won't do it; it's an ideological show. The surprise artist will surely be René Pérez "Residente"..
There are now threats to "boycott" the Super Bowl over the choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime performer:

It's a total lack of tolerance for other views. We see this all the time in radio. A station plays a particular song, and it infuriates the audience. "That song isn't rock," We saw it when KLOS did a yacht rock weekend. "That's not rock music," people said. We see it at country stations, where people say, "That's not country." Maybe not to you. Same thing with Bunny. The constitution says we all have the right to our views. That requires tolerance. No one's forcing others to change. But we all have the right to our own expression.

Bad Bunny IS an American artist, from Puerto Rico, U.S.A. (Saved DE from having to point that out.)There are now threats to "boycott" the Super Bowl over the choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime performer:

The only thing the MAGA crowd would accept for the Super Bowl halftime performance would be some Country artist fervently singing the praises of their Lord and Savior, the Second Son of God, Donald Trump. Anyone else they’re going to complain about.
I'm reminded of Garth Brooks, who faced a boycott over his bar selling Bud Light:

Tolerance. Not acceptance. Tolerance. That's what radio formats are based on. There was a time when talk radio stations presented all sides of issues. Not anymore, because the audience refuses to listen to the other side.

According to my Japanese sources the song was taken from an old Japanese folk song (we'd call it a "lament" in English). It may have been rewritten or altered in 1960.
And, we all know how accurate Wikipedia can be.
I don't see a boycott working at all. There would be hundreds of thousands of potential attendees snapping up tickets if they were available at anything approaching a reasonable cost.
It was registered by its writing team as an original composition. While it may have been inspired by a folk song, it was not the same as that song.
I cited Wikipedia because nothing else I found contradicted the information there... which is quite extensive and discusses all the later "covers" as well.
And regulations no longer require "balance" (although one of the "unbalanced" sources calls itself "fair and balanced"

Wait.
Point of order, please:
Although occasionally spanking people here might be called for, but what did landtuna do wrong with that post? Radioonsys made the remark about the year. Landtuna was simply pointing out that the name didn't have anything to do with the content, which it doesn't. It's about a lost love, if I recall correctly. His point was interesting, correct, and informative.
