Songs of Tokyo - Season 2 Episode 3
The 10th episode will feature JUJU. Her sad ballads have brought tears to the eyes of women around Japan. Why is her music so touching? Can it have the same effect on people around the world? She shares stories of her youth with hosts Shingo Murakami and Chiaki Horan, talking about how an inferiority complex since her youth led her to New York. Despite putting her heart into training, she has had her share of obstacles. Even after returning to Japan and making her debut, her songs failed to top the charts. Yet she didn't give up, and a "miracle" came her way. JUJU shares her heartwarming success story and unveils a special medley of her best ballads. The program also talks about "snack bars," something that helped JUJU become a master of cover songs. JUJU explains Japan's "snack bar" culture to international fans and performs a cover of Miyuki Nakajima's "Ito," a song that has also been covered by various Asian musicians.
