An eager fan on popular Japanese blogging site ameblo recently attended a recording session for NHK's popular program Music Japan. At the recording session, the fan watched many of JPOP's top performers, such as AKB48. Top Korean girl groups KARA and 4minute were also in attendance for the recording.
