It is great to see a television version of SBS's radio station PopAsia on TV, to see music videos (MVs) from all over Asia (a EuroPop version would also be cool to see). But instead of seeing a broad range of music and artists from all over Asia, what we get is primarily from South Korea - with occasional MVs from Japan, China and Taiwan (a couple some time ago from Vietnam, as well as a couple from Indonesia). None of the MVs from the 2nd biggest music industry in the world (after the US) - Japan - have been of heavy-hitting artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, Exile or Mr.Children - to name just a few. Nor have there been any MVs from other Asian countries such as The Philippines, Mongolia, Malaysia or Thailand.
So for all those you wish to watch MVs that are seemingly unlikely to ever be screened on the SBS TV program, here is a sample of what you've been missing:
