The comments on this are great: > Dear sir, I am looking for a person who owns master rights of SING ALONG WITH JFK."Let us begin beguine" was a smash hit in Japan in 1964.I would like to release CD of SING ALONG WITH JFK here in Japan. Any information will be very much appreciated. Best regards, Junichi Miyaji > Posted by: Junichi Miyaji | April 21, 2010 at 10:28 AM It's amusing to think recordings of JFK were extremely popular overseas. I suppose the 1960's were the biggest era of American pop culture export? I think American culture is thoroughly pervasive to the point the international branches of its evolution are being imported again. K-pop, for instance.

  No idea how true it may be (I failed to see any evidence of fandom on https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/キング・オブ・ザ・ヒル https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/キング・オブ・ザ・ヒル ), but I've heard there's a debate in japan over whether King of the Hill is better dubbed or subbed. Edit: cursory googling suggests urban legend, sorry. TIL: in 1960, the US represented 40% of global GDP, compared to 24% in 2020.
