8-Count Swing: Japanese Swing
8 of my favorite swinging songs by Japanese bands!

Inspired by the recent tragedies in Japan, I want to highlight the beautiful swinging music that comes out of Japan and encourage our listeners to support these bands through purchasing their music, send positive messages of hope to dancer friends in Japan and to donate to the Red Cross to aid in their relief efforts. Thanks also to Yuri in Tokyo for her inspiration to reach out to the global audience of Lindy Hoppers.
