But how's the popularity of W in Japan nowadays?
The only information that I know about that is from first hand experience.
I think alot of older people liked them because of the covers they did.
When I was in the car with my homestay father and he was listening to his Mix Cd he made their version of Osaka Rhapsody came on, so there is a plus. He downloaded it and made it himself ^^ But that is just one guy...
