Classical Japanese \ Korean Love melodies - could you name some artists?

[edit]

I am looking for that classical, sometimes "peaceful" sometimes sad romantic music about love. it occasionally serves as background music in Asian (mostly Jpa and Korean) love TV series, old Japanese films, and sometimes even in Japanese arcade video games.

i looked in Youtube and couldn't find much Info. please help, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.4.245 (talk) 03:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know for sure, but Enya has a traditional Japanese song "Sumiregusa" on her Amarantine album. Beyond that, I just don't know... 67.169.177.176 (talk) 04:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles in an Alternate Universe? 1980's sci fi show

[edit]

There was a show that ran briefly on one of the three major American broadcast networks in the early eighties with the premise that a family had found a portal into alternate universes.

I was struck by the premise of one episode that the family did well in one alternate universe by introducing Beatles' songs that hadn't been written in that alternate reality.

Can anyone identify the show? μηδείς (talk) 16:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
