Johnny has been everywhere the name Johnny has showed up in so many songs during the last decade of music, which raised the question: who is Johnny? Is Johnny a real person?

going through research, I found out that there's far more than that. Johnny was and is the synonym of coolness, the essence of a rebellious young man. he is the charmer who will steal your girlfriend with a smile. he is the soldier who has fought in Vietnam and is coming back home. he is everything you should want to be but probably not anything you can achieve.  

my interest in synth, new wave, post-punk music and love for 80s themed dance parties led me to find out a little bit more about 80s pop scene than other people. as I was going trough my 80s songs I discovered a tendency of songs referencing to Tokyo, Japan, China, Bangkok, etc. not one song, not two, not three, but a whole lot of them. and I was not the only one that was curious about that, I stumbled upon several forum threads that were discussing the oriental fad in 80s music.
