If you happen to watch American Dad! and caught the episode May the Best Stan Win (season 6 episode 12) you'll recall that Cyborg Stan put a cd in the car stereo and told Francine that the music was "Japanese funk" and that everyone in the future loved it (this happes at around 10:47 in the episode). The tune is actually by a group called Perfume and the song is called Monochrome Effect. It is worth sharing:
(the embed function on this one has been 'disabled by request').
The video itself is what I could only describe as 'very Japanese', and the song, in addition to being as catchy as catchy can be (and does kind of give a shout out to the Yellow Magic Orchestra), is brimming with spirit to the point of being ultra-life affirming. As good as J-Pop gets...
