This guy makes mashups of American pop music, Korean pop music, and Japanese pop music. (MLYT)

Big Bang & Lady Gaga
Utada Hikaru & Evanescence
BoA & Destiny's Child
Namie Amuro & Gwen Stefani
Tohoshinki & Justin Timberlake
Wonder Girls & Lee Hyo Ri & Katy Perry
BoA & Rihanna
K-pop mega mashup 1
K-pop mega mashup 2 part 1/part 2
K-pop girlgroup mega mashup

Tons more songs available for download on his site, or on his YouTube channel.

I strongly recommend listening to Smooth Criminal is Coming, from K-bootie v3.

Not a big fan of of the K-Bootie mixes, but neat to hear all of the different styles together.

Still my favorite mashup site by far has to be Illuminoids radio

First Track of Illuminoids Radio 61: Ram Jam vs. Herve vs. Kanye West vs. Boys Noize vs. C&C Music Factory vs. Pilot Preist vs. Hit House (Loo & Placido Mash-Up)

Sorry, Smells Like Easy Ding Dong (U-KISS vs. SHINee vs. Super Junior vs. Nirvana) is just insane.

U-KISS, SHINee, and Super Junior are all pretty boy k-pop boy bands, although U-KISS and Super Junior are trying to move to a "manlier" image.

The name of the mix comes from Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry", U-KISS "만만하니" (the chorus roughly translates to "Do I look that easy a guy to you?"), and SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong".

Also, Illuminoids Radio is much better than their site would have you believe.

Someone on YouTube is making mashups?

One More Toxic (Jewelry vs. Britney Spears) is pretty great too.

To be fair, MANY western songs are already riffed or sampled into J-Pop or K-Pop music, so re-mixing them might be cool but redundant. It's partially how one person or a small team of people can churn out so many songs in such a short time. This guy has probably beat everyone to the punch and made multi-millions out of it.

See if you can spot this one...
