Shoko Nakagawa (中川 翔子 aka Shokotan)

Shoko Nakagawa, above, has the blogging world by the tail, billion hits and all.

YO's rating: A+ | Just when you think you have a handle on Japanese music, you run across something like this. Come on, a billion hits? Shokotan's numbers rival that of the Drudgereport, and that's saying something. Once again, A-Z of Japanese Music has struck gold which it does often, cementing its position as one of the foremost blogs and information centers on all J-pop and J-rock. Yes, Hello Project does get mentioned, but very seldom. A-Z is also the top source for tour information on Japanese bands in the US, including the sensational "Japan Nite 2008" last March!

Best in J-Pop
