Oh speaking of bands that look like kids there is a band I kinda like that basically sound like old zeppelin

I also forgot xjapan
sure kpop industry is toxic, but isn't every music industry toxic??? basically every single famous female singer slept her way up there and some of the male singers too
OKAY I LIKE IT FUCK
But not pop
I mean toxic as in they fuck up once they kill themselves
that is more the asian mindset, than anything else
They way even 1 lb above the expected weight and they starve themselves for a month
And the fans punish them by documenting everything about their lives
and the japanese pop stars don't?
Japan does too but korea is notorious for it
also braindead fans is a hallmark of asian entertainment
Ya, of course. There was a case of a japanese idol being stalked and she had to apologise for being stalked
I think Bradio is one of my favorite Japanese bands
i don't know what it is, but be it the chinese, japanese, or korean entertainment, all the fans just take everything so at face value its not even funny, which is why the entertainers have to give their all all the time, because one slip up can kill their whole career, especially once the competition gets a whiff and starts spreading it
and yeah, the idol industry is absolutely ridiculous
Japan is a lttle different when it comes to male celebrities but females still got bizarre standards
AKB48 and all those massive girls groups are fucking weird
whereas here in the west, we find out that they are abusing drugs, sex or whatever, and its like nobody cares, sure it gets news coverage, but they still listen to the artist, they still buy the albums, much easier
there are entire magazines dedicated to celebrity gossip out there
people LOVE to eat that stuff up
From a business standpoint its great makes a hell of a lot of money but then japan wonders why they got issues with the men and dating and lack of kids when they mass market the male fantasy???
but it's not the same kind of response that you see in Asian countries, for sure
yup, which is why the news coverage even happens, but its more of just a topic to talk about, rather than something that people then go full on crazy about, just to punish them
massive girl groups are weird af, i just don't get how they can stay together for any length of time, there has to be some ridiculous fights in there, and constant monitoring that it doesn't get out of hand and goes public
They are not meant to socialise together, they often dont know eachother before signing up to whatever label. They are only big so that they can be everywhere at once
Like in that video i posted, have a nice day, they went to the AKB48 cafe in akiba. That place will send 6 girls there and have them dance for all the salary men that turn up every couple hours
And they will be on rotations while other members are in different parts of the city performing
I watched Kohaku, a new years music television program, with my friend this year who is a young japanese women and she loves these particular groups... and i was drunk and I straight up insulted them infront of her. Eep
Wow sorry for this. When it comes to complaining about japan things i could go forever lol
Complaining about one specific ethnic group ad nauseam isn't really something we do around here...
Kinda cringe, tbh.
i'll keep that in mind.
Lmao Greta Van Fleet
>let's be early Led Zeppelin but bad
Although *Highway Tune* is pretty catchy
They were okay in concert
They are pretty young though so they have room to grow
For sure
