The 2018 Billboard Music Awards have just finished and everyone is still talking about their favorite artists going on stage, receiving awards and performing. But who were people most excited to see perform? The Korean band BTS was probably the most anticipated act from the whole lineup. This was their comeback on the American-based show, therefore
When it comes to asking people what they think of upon hearing the word “Japan,” surely most of them would include one of the following: technology; sushi; Tokyo, the world’s largest urban area; Haruki Murakami; anime, with Studio Ghibli as the most famous Japanese animation film studio; cherry blossoms and how everyone is waiting for
