Japan's indie rock scene has grown a great deal since the turn of the century. DOPING PANDA is one of the many bands that have found success in a culture flooded with JPOP. Since 2001 they have released four albums with another coming out in March.
They contributed this Hercules song for the Japanese Disney tribute album DIVE INTO DISNEY
in 2002. Their rock version of Go the Distance is really great. I love what they did to the verses and the Japanese accents is very cute. I love this version far more than hearing Michael Bolton sing it. Michael Bolton = Good writer/Bad singerThere are very few Hercules covers out there but Chris requested one so I deliver! You'll hear another in a few weeks.
Have a great weekend and join me next week for Villains Week!

Thanks for posting my requests! In my store at Downtown Disney all they play are the Disneymania albums or....*shudder*....Highschool Musical soundtracks. With your site I'm already on my way to finding enough cool covers that are better than the ones by those Disney-channel-child-prodigies.
Villians rock...looking forward to next week.
