KPop fans don't get that not all abs are the result of the muscle being exercised, but rather the lack of fat over the muscle.

And male seiyuus have basically become the new Johnny's. And look at things like Uta no Prince-sama.

The Beanie Baby forum?

You've already asked me this... But it does remind me of what someone said about how Keyakizaka is basically looking at the indie boom and going after that crowd.

Did I call him a dwarf or something? This was cute though:

SnC also wouldn't stick this as a B-side.

Lotta Love is so much better.

Which one?

What kind of event?

Wow... I was here for a moment before I went out last night. Good thing I left because I honestly would've said something that resulted in me getting in trouble. Anyway, I want to say something I've noticed before I go out tonight. I feel like we live in an age where people like to see everyone as being the same, but that's not reality. It seems as if it's unacceptable to some people now to say that you know more than someone else now. When I say something, I don't want to be challenge by someone who thinks Oricon counts streaming or doesn't know the difference betwee a single and an album. People just need to sit down, shut up, and listen. Anyway, things should be back to normal with my posts tomorrow. Who is being discouraged? Well KPop thrives off of fake news so...

I just don't get the issue. Or why it's being made into an issue.

Why are you trying to curb our freedom of speech?

Is this for real?

There are people actual saying things along the lines of "Here in Japan, digital downloads are virtually non-existent. Everyone here just listens to CDs!" And for some reason people can't grasp that a single chart and an album chart are different things. Or that a digital chart and a physical chart are different things too.

I had time today: http://aramajapan.com/aramaexclusive/opinionpiece/bbc-airs-documentary-idols-fans/77567/

Mess! This is still a mess! Ohh, it's spreading... The high performance!

It was good, but that was expected.

The new acts aren't willing to risk it because they know it will lead to a Korean decline and in effect an international one since international fans don't normally follow Japanese actitivies. Cool! Yeah, that can be annoying.

All I can think of is Gouriki Ayame. Everyone keeps saying they're popular, and then I look at the charts and don't see it. They do well with YouTube views and streaming, but KPop is known for that. Where is the actual money being spent, which is what matters more in the industry? Physical is look upon more favorably because it brings in more revenue than digital downloads, but YouTube and streaming bring in even less than digital downloads. The way people go on about them, you would think they're this year's Keyakizaka46. But Keyakizaka46 was a lot more organic. They crossed over to the public unlike many other idol groups. They had longevity. I don't see this with Twice.

Yeah, Dentsu has an entire team dedicated to 2ch and GC. That's why I find it funny when people say netizen comments are irrelevant when the biggest advertising company in Japan is like constantly on there. In the end, the Japanese industry is so incestual that nothing really surprises me.

I have a question for y'all: https://onehallyu.com/topic/537108-japanese-music-fans-what-kpop-songs-have-you-liked-this-year/

And who says "bling" in 2017? Everything about this, from the title to the dancing is so dated.

Who says "swagger / swag" in 2017?

But speaking of the horror that is GOT7:

It's banned! But GOT7 was on Buzz Rhythm earlier this month... I mean, it's banned from big shows! But Big Bang was on Music Station in February...
