On 13 January, Jamiroquai were guests on the radio broadcast of the J-Wave Tokio Hot 100 chart countdown (Japan). During an interview with Jay, he said that he used to work in a factory packing bean sprouts, which are a very popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, for a pathetically low wage. Chris Peppler, the J-Wave DJ then gave Jay a pack of sprouts in the interview!
Jamiroquai's first album, Emergency On Planet Earth, was released in the UK this week in 1993. The band's fourth album, Synkronized, was released this week in 1999.
