Music Library Meme
There was a Tumblr meme where you had to search for a keyword in your music library and name the first song that pops up. I thought I would do it with Japanese titles, which turned out to be harder than expected. It seems that while American song titles use a lot of the same keywords, Japanese ones don't. Or maybe you just don't see these particular ones.
For some of these I had to modify the word to a single Kanji character to make the search easier.
I couldn't find anything in my own music collection (CDs included) for "happy" and "bad." Can you think of any J-pop or J-rock songs with those words in the title? Feel free to try this with your music library.
