  1.   That sucks. Hopefully you can do something fun this weekend. Happy belated birthday! University can be such a pain at times.
  2. What happened? hahahaha :lol: Not jpop related but i used to love this show
  3. Thanks to so many people here having Kato Milayah in their sigs and avatar plus listening to Konya wa Boogie back on Shota's album I decided to dowload her M Best album and I have been missing out.
  4.   The weirdest thing is how they attack you if you mention the apologies or the compensation. Like I don't think any of us or modern day Japanese are denying that the events happened and people here all say that the events were bad there is no denying that. Some people just seem to want to drag it on. It's definitely important to remeber the event's, but at the same time it is also important to look forward. I definitely do think that people have basic knowledge of the rapes and what not and form their own opinions on that, but I do think being fans of kpop and as a result other aspects of Korea and korean culture it has pushed them into defending them more than they otherwise would. I really can't see people posting stuff about this on their facebooks and having legitimate conversations about this. The ones on this forum take on a real mocky tone.   But anyways does anyone else tend to listen to the lot of the same music? Like I downloaded a few things from jpopsuki awhile ago and still haven't listened to it. I just keep going back to my old stuff.
  5. It's funny cause I decided to read other part of the forum for the heck of it the other day and there has been like 3 or more threads about that in the last week. Some people either don't know what it is, don't accept the apologies or don't know any were made and argue over the compensation. It's all so weird. I think it was documentaly that said a lot of them take the victim role for others. Same thing happens a lot with the whole Takeshima disputes. I have no personal say on the matters, but I do find what they have to say interesting/ entertaining.   I feel like I've missed so much on this forum from not coming on in awhile. 
  6. Voted! Glad she is getting some exposure in the US
  7. Thelma better budget those Soba ni Iru ne sales     Kpop was never that popular 'till about late 2008 early 2009. 2009/2010 I would say it overtook jpop
  8.   Hahaha that was straight pedophile-ish  Samson has grown on me too actually, I relistened to the album yesterday haha. I think there were only a few songs I was interested in from the previews, like 10 ft tall and climbing high. She really loved liked fire and went in that direction and definitely grew.     Probably Juicy.
  9. You're Welcome! And I saw the behind the scenes pictures. I don't even care if she flops, at least she is trying. People really need to stop giving her a hard time and look on the bright side, more music for us fans
  10.   I liked "Children" (had to put that in quotes, otherwise it just looked creepy), but I didn't like Samson and The Apple was so so at first, but it grew on me and now I really love the beat. The latter two were such a departure for what she was originally doing in TLTL and going for in L&P, but she actualy pulled of the new sound and there are some definite standout tracks on the album.   I was probably just bitter because I was pretty hyped about L&P :lol:
  11. Good job on the forum! It looks nice. Sorry I haven't posted in this thread in forever.
  12.   Yeah that wouldn't be too hard to do if the info is that easily accessible. It's funny that you mentioned the UK beacuse I was just thinking about when Syco Records got hacked and Leona Lewis songs were leaked along and then it turned out that it happened to their other artist before.     VV Brown :ahmagah: I was mad about Lolipops and Politics and wasn't going to listen to the album because I didn't really like the singles, but I'm glad I did because Igneous and Knife
  13.   I freaking love this video haha   And I wouldn't be surprised if hacking was involved since it does happen all the time out here.   I don't know what the west has to do with this, but okay. I guess that's possible, but it just seems unlikely and really weird how these leaks and info almost always come through chinese sites rather than japanese ones. Like, if this person is an insider and his chinese friend gets a hold of the info why don't any of his Japanese friends get the info. I mean your in Japan so obviously there's Japanese people there. Plus the info isn't always from the same person, but whateves, they get it right regardless and thats impressive.
  14. I don't know why, but this used to be one of the funniest videos to me. I think it's the mika nakashima impression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruof-_zmnK8   And how is it that these people on these Chinese websites always have the inside scoop on future JPOP releases? They were right about Namie and Kumi, if I'm not mistaken. Kudos to them
  15.   I saw a few days ago when he made a big deal about the difference in versions and somehow you were comparing them to idols when you never did. I thought you handled it pretty well.     I saw the thread a few days ago and looked today and yeah. I've seen him make relevant points before, but his bias and demeanor is just so ugh. And the whole j-stan thing seems to come from the idea that everyone in the j-section hates everything kpop (not entirely sure if that what he means,but that's how it comes off), but people in the J-assembly thread post about kpop from time to time and everyone else doesn't really care about it.      I've seen your exchanges a couple of times and that is his immediate go to. Like not even when you are addressing him, he'll pop up and call you an idiot. It definitely does come off pretty childish. If he's a pioneer of the whole kpop is banned on tv he needs to stop. If I'm not mistaken in one of the music threads you posted BEA2T or however you spell their name was on one of the programs so that's pure nonsense.      I read a few of the responses and it's definitely nice to read what people have to say about the given year, see what they have in common dislike, like, etc. I should probably fix up my response since it was really brief and I left a few things out.
  16.   I never had a conversation with him on here, but his better than thou and consistency of calling people idiots, dumb, and stupid for not agreeing with him or saying he's wrong is very off-putting. I never understood why some people on here go for the personal. It makes no sense. 
  17.   I saw someone from jpopcentral post about it and the only info I saw was from some anime website and the rest was in chinese (which I can't read) but if it were in japanese I'd probably have translated it myself.   I need to stop being so lazy these days when it comes to translating I used to translate lyrics and interviews all the time 
  18. Haha I see DocumentaLy made a topic about it. I wasn't sure if it was real or not  :lol:
  19. What's all this about Ayu being engaged?
  20. The retail industry is just ridiculous so I cant say I'm surprised. The people who make all these decisions make all the money while the workers and people who buy the crap get the bad end of the deal. I just hope I'm only have to work in retail until I graduate 
  21.   Some earphones at my job were on "sale" for $20 and had a tag that said Original price $30 but they are usually around $15 but I guess what people don't know helps the company
  22.   That's probably because everyone has seemed to accept the "fact" that all k-pop has been banned from Japanese television.   He usually shades Namie on her dancing and her face calling her lazy and miserable among other things lol I think he does have a pretty good balance because he's a Ckay fan but basically called her new song shit so yeah but there is always gonna be some bias here and there
  23.   Apparently he's a member at jpopcentral   People plan trips around concerts all the time. When DAI first disbanded and were having their final concert so many members at daiforum all started planning trips just because of that concert. When I go to Japan next summer I know I want to see a show
  24.   Yeah I've heard it a couple of times. I don't think it is that widespread, but DocumentaLy and SeeYaWithYou did report similar things.  I remeber one of my friends who was Filipino telling me about how people told her not to say she was asian and she could only say she was Pacific Islander    Some people don't care. I think it just has to do with mentality and how some feel superior to others even if they are from the same region.
