Apple adds Chinese tunes to iTunes Music Store

I'd love to see a selection of Japanese honkyoku (the traditional music of the bamboo flute, the shakuhachi).

Yes! More Japanese pop/rock would be great to have in the American music store, if licensing the tunes was at all possible. For that matter, I'd like to see some anime and video game soundtracks in the store. I see there's already some effort in that direction, as the Final Fantasy soundtracks are in the store...

I would love to see the japanese band Pillows on iTunes. Their music is used throughout the Fooley Cooley (FLCL) anime mini series. They are just awesome.

I'd just like to be able to download exclusive tracks from another country's iTMS. What's wrong with that? Providing companies money from areas where they don't have distribution deals -- sounds like a win-win scenario, right? So why can't it be done?

Kpop. Lots of Kpop. I wonder if they could make all the Koreans drop their iRivers like stones if they offered Korean dramas on iTMS...

I've been submitting requests to Apple for several years for some of the Phillips label albums of the 1960s and 70s. My particular favorite is Missa Luba but a Congolese boys choir. Simply amazing blend of voice and traditional Congolese instruments. Alas, my old vinyl record has long since vanished.

I would love to see more brasilian tunes, as well as more czech music. Italian and german tunes wouldn't be bad either. What iTunes lacks very much in my view is some good French Hip Hop.

BTW, it's mouse loves rice in chinese, not mouse with rice.

I was both relieved and chagrined to see that those are actually tracks in the store (albeit translations).

Its funny that you mentioned that AK, because they do have a lot of bollywood music, not necessarily the latest, but they have a lot of old stuff. It 'd be awesome to have the latest hits and remixes as well.
