Every week, the Japanese iTunes store updates later than the stores for the rest of the world. Because of this, the iTunes Single of the Week for Japan lags behind other countries. Here is this week's offering for you to download and enjoy.

Here's a Friday treat for your viewing pleasure: a free episode of a TV series that I was completely unaware even existed. Behold the new Jeff Foxworthy show:"Big Night Out". If you've got a US iTunes account, you can download the first episode of the series for free. Google reveals that this show airs or aired on CMT, a channel that does not seem to appear on my standard cable lineup so that's probably why I never heard of this thing before. If the Kenny Rogers ep is any good, I'll probably spring for the Wreckers episode.

US: Foxworthy's Big Night Out, Kenny Rogers episode
Each week a different country artist joins Foxworthy for the ultimate in country comedy and live musical performances, with Kenny Rogers kicking off the premiere episode. Country stars Trace Adkins, Billy Currington, Sara Evans, Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Montgomery Gentry, Joe Nichols, Blake Shelton, the Warren Brothers, Hank Williams Jr., and the Wreckers all test their comedic chops by appearing in sketches with Jeff and his amazing cast of improv actors. Mixing the traditional TV monologue with sketches, audience participation, and some of the best musical performances that the world of country music has to offer, each episode of Foxworthy's Big Night Out is filled with hilarity that the whole family can enjoy.

US: Ugly Betty Jason Mraz Music Video
From executive producer Salma Hayek comes ABC's Ugly Betty, based on the most popular telenovela ever! Smart but wholesome Betty (America Ferrera) embraces her unique appearance and independent attitude in the cutthroat world of New York fashion. It's amazing how Betty can stay true to herself, no matter how much drama the fashionistas throw her way. With the help of her proud yet far from glamorous family from Queens, Betty will continue to dream big and handle any obstacle with a style that's all her own. Get a season pass to the hot new comedy of the season and discover how you too can be ugly like Betty.

If you've never seen Jericho and hate joining serialized dramas mid-way, iTunes just added a free "catchup" episode that provides a recap of the series to date. This is the same recap episode that aired Wednesday night on broadcast TV.

US: Jericho Recap Episode
Catch up on Jericho during a special recap that chronicles what took place during the first 11 episodes of the series. Jericho is a drama about what happens when a nuclear mushroom cloud suddenly appears on the horizon, plunging the residents of a small, peaceful Kansas town into chaos, leaving them completely isolated and wondering if they're the only Americans left alive. Fear of the unknown propels Jericho into social, psychological and physical mayhem when all communication and power is shut down. The town starts to come apart at the seams as terror, anger and confusion bring out the very worst in some residents.

US Music

US: Auld Lang Syne (Acoustic) by Jack Ingram
Now we generally try to turn the spotlight over to new artists for our Single of the Week, but we're feeling the spirit of the season this month. Check back here each week to get a free holiday track from an established artist. Here, country singer Jack Ingram takes the perennial New Year's Eve favorite and turns it into a more majestic, twangy celebration.

US: Ya No by Kuky
Kuky's strong, luscious voice rises up out of the swaying rhythm of this track, leading the listener into her soulful, playful world. The tune's strength lies in its simplicity. This is a pop song not meant to be disposed of immediately. Kuky - also known as Lucero Rodriguez - got her start singing the hooks on hip-hop tracks, but is now set to release her debut. "Ya No" is our free Single of the Week.

US: When the President Talks to God by Bright Eyes
(No description.) Readers are getting mixed results for this track. Make sure it shows up as free in your shopping cart before you buy.
