  1. I did the same thing last week on one of my midterms :unsure:   Southeast Asians in general seemed to be disregarded and discriminated against. I've heard people being told they "are not real asians" before because they are from that region. 
  2. Basically just gave an example of my original point.   And this video would lose half of its awkwardness if it didn't look like he was shoving rubber bouncing balls into people's mouths. 
  3. I've noticed that here and other places as well it's like they adopt their views and hate people for them. It's really weird      Haha thanks I guess  :lol:   One of the most awkward jpop PVs in history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16bNLJvVfQs
  4. I never really got how people even get involved with the debate when it doesn't even effect them and they know nothing about it.   And just wow.   You'd be pretty surprised. The whole anti japanese attitude mainly comes from the Takeshima issue that DocumentaLy mentioned. I can't remember where exactly but a few weeks ago there were some post claiming that the decline in kpop in Japan was due to Japanese hating koreans over the islands and forbidding them to appear on tv. But some kpop acts are doing better than a lot of Japanese acts. Blackface threads will kinda show the other stuff mentioned. I think that post being negative shows people don't like you talking against it  :lol:   But yeah lets talk about music haha :lol: . I always feel so envious when people get excited about getting to seeing their favorite acts on year end shows since no acts I really like go on. I hope DAI streams their countdown this year.
  5.   Yeah I notice people in the kpop section go pretty hard on the most random and pettiest stuff. I know the j section goes at it from time to time but its never like that haha     Partially, but it's other stuff I've seen as well. Japanese people are dirty and owe Koreans an apology and Koreans are justified in their hate for Japanese, Black people basically don't experience racism anymore and are just sensitive, Your just jealous that whatever star is sleeping with women and your not but then omg how could you  say that about me how sexist Oh what they said wasn't sexist you're just being a hater/ you would like it if they said it to you The list goes on and  on   People are pretty ignorant outside of kpop, but it's funny when they try to respond in their better than you attitude. I'm not gonna lie though I like watching people crash and burn especially with the Korea vs. Japan thing. Gotta get ready for all that since it's almost the time for end of the year shows again. 
  6.   Yeah I usually avoid threads too. That's why I usually only post in this section of the forum since it has less issues  :lol: But man some people's thought process  :unsure:   Anyone read the article about Utada's uncle?
  7. This forum has the strangest mix of underlying racism and wannabe social justice I have ever seen.   In other news, listening to Exodus, its a really good album, but it definitely could have used some tighter and better production.
  8. Yeah some people are seriously attached to her and the series. My personal favorite though "So I guess Utada Hikaru is really gonna do Kingdom Hearts again. After going on an indefinite hiatus because she didn’t want the KH songs to be the only thing anyone remembers about her music career."  :unsure: how'd they even get to that     Yeah since the team is already busy with something else it's gonna be a while plus a hd version kh2.5 was announced for next year so there is no way it's coming out in 2014. There's a possibly of 2015 since apparently there's a Kingdom Hearts release each year  A lot of acts tour some on larger scales than others. People think for some reason only those with large sales tour, but you would be surprised at how many live shows go on. Acts even have shows with 500 people or less, I think the idea of touring have been skewed a little bit with some kpop acts.
  9. That's a possibility that I thought of too haha. I'm not bothered by it because I didn't care much about it either. I just feel bad for all those people who were freaking out and excited. The Utada Hikaru tag on tumblr is a mess  :lol:   If she announced the end of her hiatus or something for her 15th anniversary then I'd get excited, but until then.
  10. I'm skeptical since all her dad said was "Yes." responding to if the were involved in KH3 especially since he said In the Flesh was going to come out like 20 years ago. :unsure: It must suck to be catapulted to fame for a song or two and then everyone just stops caring for what you put out. /thelma aoyama, takahashi hitomi
  11. "Hardcore" in the sense of people who claim to be fans of an act but only know that one song. Kind of like people who claim to be big Ayu fans yet only know dearest or how much they love Namie but only listen to come. I use these examples because they're probably the most common with Inuyasha introducing a lot of people to j-pop (including myself). I just know some people get really annoyed with that. I personally only know Utada from Kingdom Hearts( might've been first love) so I'm not like in the field of "oh I knew her before she did that so I'm more of a fan than you" camp cause I find that attitude stupid too. I really don't think there's a 'better way' to get into an act and I like hearing peoples stories of how they first heard whatever act being discussed. So yeah it probably wasn't all that clear or eloquently stated, but I was just referring to people who claim to be big fans of all her music, but only know those two songs. I'm pretty sure a lot here know someone that has done that with some artist.    I'm excited too, but it most likely wont be till 2015 :( Especially with 2.5 coming out next year which I'm looking forward to I've wanted to play KH2FM for the longest
  12. Yep that seems like some solid confirmation. I need to stay on top of their news information.   In other new's Utada's dad confirmed that they are involved in Kingdom Hearts 3 /queue all the hikari/simple and clean and passion/sanctuary post from "harcore" Utada fans over the tumblr and the rest of the internet 
  13. I'm listening to the songs right now and Last Virgin sounds nice so far. Reminds me of me me she and kanashi   That's good! Now I have something to look forward to this year, but will still wait for the official announcement.   It's funny cause the Japanese Olympic Committee released a poll of who should preform and she was #8 but Idk why they even did a poll of who should perform when it's 7 years away. So pointless    [spoiler] 20. Namie Amuro (1,814 votes) 19. Hikawa Kiyoshi (1,876 votes) 18. Ikimonogakari (1,888 votes) 17. Kuwata Keisuke (1,944 votes) 16. Kitajima Subaro (2,010 votes) 15.

  14. It's known as the lucky cat. I know there's different variations of it like a balck one, a gold one, one with its left hand raised and one with its right raised. They're called Maneki neko. Just your typical kind of good luck charm More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko
  15. Rachel Stevens? That's Tomiko Van from Do As Infinity's Shinjitsu no Uta PV  :lol:   I had to google Rachel Stevens to figure out who that was haha but that gif does look like her
  16. That's good to know. I need to check out their new single too
  17. Idk the song isn't that great, but is still kind of catchy. I do see the photo being bad on purpose. Like playing off of her being asian, with the cat and sushi and all
  18. What the.. I guess she has to start somewhere  Only two more months of the year left and it's looking like Ubu by illion is gonna stay my best album of the year Kavka, Namie, and Ishizaki Huwie are probably somewhere in my top 10. Sadly most of the "new" albums I listened to weren't from this year
  19. "Unbreakable spirit is a charity event to raise awareness of the Touhoku earthquake and Tsunami. Remembering those who passed, those who risked their lives to save others and those having to build their lives from scratch" I'm pretty sure she is giving her all to a US release/debut right now since it's been a over a year since VIVID, but there was My heartbeat after that
  20. I always liked these better than Aoi Bench. Finding information on them was so hard because of Naruto and the tv show of the same name (Ninja Warrior in America)   http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3xjni_%E6%B0%B8%E9%81%A0%E3%81%AE%E5%A4%8F_music   http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3dto3_%E3%82%B5%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B1-friend_music
  21. Kirakuni, yo-yo, and take it outside (which is funny because I didn't like this song at first, but now it's one of my favorites on VIVID)
  22. Best album to be released on January 1st. The album will have new songs, one which will be used as a theme for a "tales of" game. Next year is dubbed Do As Infinity 15th Anniversary. There are 4 phases 1) They will have the usual countdown live this year 2) They will release a best album on 1/1/14 after 8 years from their last best 3) Next spring there will be some sort of movie release 4) Next spring there will be a nationwide tour The official website has been updated as well.
  23.   Yep looking forward to see what kind of song it is. It's going to be for a mobile app game though so it'll probably won't be released in the west.
  24.   I agree. If you are going to buy these games for your children at least one, pay attention to the rating or two, instill in your children that the game is fictional and shouldn't be replicated in real life. It is just a form of entertainment and should not be taken seriously.   ------- According to the album description one of the new songs on Do As Infinity's best album will be used as the theme song for a new 'Tales of' game
