Takeo's doing the parapara, and it seems like just about everyone is following his lead. The sound of parapara is the heavy, synthesized, Eurobeat-style dance music that rules the Japanese charts.

The continent has been so repeatedly betrayed by disease and by invasion that its contributions to the world are pretty amazing. The art of the 20th century--the stuff that in 200 years the world will look back on--a lot of it will be rooted...
