Do like to write songs?\u00a0 Do you know some Japanese?\u00a0 Here’s your chance to come up with a Japanese country song, i.e., a U.S.-style country song in Japanese (or at least half in Japanese).\u00a0 Send in your lyrics to me at stevenwaseda [at] jetwit.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We’ll worry about the tune later (unless you also come up with a tune and a recording and want to share that too.)\u00a0 If it’s even half decent, I’ll publish it here, at which time other readers can offer an appropriate tune, new lyrics or try to record a version of the song.\u00a0 This will be an ongoing contest with no deadline.\u00a0 Multiple submissions welcome!<\/p>\n

This idea, btw, was inspired by a Chinese country music video sent to me by my wife (a high school Chinese teacher).\u00a0 It is not only hilarious, but also has amazing choreography, costumes and… I can’t even begin to explain it.\u00a0 Just watch.<\/p>\n
