Some of our favorite Asian artists are going to be hitting American newstands this month in People Magazine! Wonder Girls, Utada, BoA & Se7en are featured in a nice little write up in the April 20 issue called “Coming to America… Asian Pop Stars”. It’s like a little who’s who of “Interviewed by Ningin!”

It’s awesome to see these artists getting mainstream news coverage. Can you imagine how many doctor’s offices will be have this magazine lying around for years?!

I know the title says “Asian Pop Stars” but it’s nice to see Utada being noted as born and raised an Asian American New Yorker. I hope other artists of Asian descent that are active in the US will be featured in People Magazine soon! Dear People Magazine, might I suggest Far East Movement, Rachel Yamagata, Justin Nozuka, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Asobi Seksu, Blonde Redhead, Vienna Teng, and Priscilla Ahn?


In case you missed it last week, Ivy Lee, People Magazine’s Senior Designer, gave us her take on the new Utada’s new album artwork. Check out what she and other designers said in “Utada’s “This Is The One” sounds great, but how does it look?”

Perez Hilton featured many Asian artist on his blog. so far i know: 2NE1, Wonder Girls, Lee Hyori made it on his blog. i don’t know if Big Bang made it. haven’t checked his blog for a long time though.
might i add there are many rude comments under the videos too.

>.< I just read the comments.
I didn’t like it lol so I closed them. but I’m glad to see people standing up for them too!

Congrats on who made the magazine !

The American ideology is there. Live and resisting.

Lol yeah…
In my opinion, Asian pop music is like a totally different genre from any American music. A lot of Americans just won’t accept stuff from other countries cause in general, America just thinks they’re better than everyone else >.<
Some people just won’t give other music a chance x[


Pretty awesome that they would even put this in their magazine

Mmhmm. A lot of the Asian artists looking to break through in American industry are getting a lot of publicity from American stuff. Like Perez Hilton’s blog, and this, and the Times Square thingy. I think...haha

I wonder if it made a difference…

Wow, i need to go find this issue !
they need to stop comparing asia artists to americans ones
because all artists have their own style !


maybe asian music has become slightly more popular?
