Big finding

Really happy today! I happened to find online a huge list of Japanese original songs covered by HK/Taiwan/Chinese mainland singers over the past two decades or so. I bet this list, compiled by a Japanese guy, is so rarely seen on the whole Internet. It is a big step forward compared with what people can easily find on the web, which is mainly a quite impressively big list compiled by a Chinese friend (to a limited extent, I also contributed to that existing list). However, the one I found today is by no means flawless since at least I easily find quite a few more to be added, according to my instant self-search in the music database in my head (for example, my own revised list of Anzen Chitai/Koji Tamaki original songs showed that some were missing in the Japanese guy's list). To be sure, I spent the night doing online searching, which was sometimes frustrating yet rewarding and fun eventually because I was always finally able to find what was targeted by trying a lot of means, which by the way yielded a few surprisingly awesome music by-products. Thank God we've got the Internet!

I will keep working on the list to improve it according to my music knowledge. It will be a big treasurehouse for those addicted to finding original songs vs. their covered versions like me.
