I also forgot xjapan

2020-03-11 12:23:04 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:23:08 UTC  

OKAY I LIKE IT FUCK

2020-03-11 12:23:17 UTC  

But not pop

2020-03-11 12:23:44 UTC  

I mean toxic as in they fuck up once they kill themselves

2020-03-11 12:24:05 UTC  

that is more the asian mindset, than anything else

2020-03-11 12:24:18 UTC  

They way even 1 lb above the expected weight and they starve themselves for a month

2020-03-11 12:24:40 UTC  

And the fans punish them by documenting everything about their lives

2020-03-11 12:24:43 UTC  

and the japanese pop stars don't?

2020-03-11 12:24:54 UTC  

Japan does too but korea is notorious for it

2020-03-11 12:25:00 UTC  

also braindead fans is a hallmark of asian entertainment

2020-03-11 12:25:32 UTC  

Ya, of course. There was a case of a japanese idol being stalked and she had to apologise for being stalked

2020-03-11 12:26:04 UTC  

I think Bradio is one of my favorite Japanese bands

2020-03-11 12:26:19 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:26:24 UTC  

and yeah, the idol industry is absolutely ridiculous

2020-03-11 12:27:11 UTC  

Japan is a lttle different when it comes to male celebrities but females still got bizarre standards

2020-03-11 12:27:39 UTC  

AKB48 and all those massive girls groups are fucking weird

2020-03-11 12:27:55 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:28:14 UTC  

I mean, I think people care, but just not in the same way

2020-03-11 12:28:24 UTC  

there are entire magazines dedicated to celebrity gossip out there

2020-03-11 12:28:28 UTC  

people LOVE to eat that stuff up

2020-03-11 12:28:40 UTC  

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???

2020-03-11 12:28:47 UTC  

but it's not the same kind of response that you see in Asian countries, for sure

2020-03-11 12:28:58 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:31:49 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:32:47 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:33:43 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:34:37 UTC  

And they will be on rotations while other members are in different parts of the city performing

2020-03-11 12:36:15 UTC  

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

2020-03-11 12:38:06 UTC  

Wow sorry for this. When it comes to complaining about japan things i could go forever lol

2020-03-11 12:39:53 UTC  

Complaining about one specific ethnic group ad nauseam isn't really something we do around here...

2020-03-11 12:40:02 UTC  

Kinda cringe, tbh.

2020-03-11 12:44:41 UTC  

i'll keep that in mind.

2020-03-11 12:45:12 UTC  

Lmao Greta Van Fleet
>let's be early Led Zeppelin but bad
Although *Highway Tune* is pretty catchy

2020-03-11 12:45:38 UTC  

They were okay in concert

2020-03-11 12:45:52 UTC  

They are pretty young though so they have room to grow

2020-03-11 12:45:59 UTC  

For sure
