The other day I was in a Taiwanese restaurant in San Gabriel, CA and on their big screen TV they were playing music videos.  One of the videos was of a Taiwanese girl group called "Popu Lady." (And I thought Japan was the king of the English language non sequitir names.)    My wife and I n...

I had a great time at the concert.  My favorite part is when Suzuki Kanon told the audience,  "I had a big breakfast this morning!"  They all did a great job with the performance.  Now that Sayumi is leaving, it is probably time for me to say good-bye to Morning Musume as well, although I ...

No one wants to go with me to the Morning Musume concert, go figure.  I have an extra ticket that I am willing to part with for $25 dollars.  I will probably have to give it to you at the door at this point.  Contact me ASAP if you are interested. 

Sorry,  thanks for the translation.  It is not your fault at all.  It was silly of me to think that everyone would have known about this.  I thought the media might be gearing things up to make it into another incident like that radio show appearance, and everyone would know about this other budding...

[quote="arcobaleno"] This story doesn't have much to do with Koharu at all. No one ever mentioned this or complained about Koharu. [/quote]   Sorry I'm not talking about this thread.  I am talking about the following news stories Please check out these links.:   http://www.rbbtoday.com/art...

I can't believe that a couple of news stories ran about Koharu's comment on her blog about Ai's marriage, something like "I am happy, if she is happy." were perceived as back-handed compliments or inappropriate.  Japan's society is so rigid. There are accounts of this guy being a creep, ri...

Hurray! 

Thanks for the info!  I will check out those artists.  

My wife is from Taiwan, and in 1999 we went to Taiwan for our wedding reception.  A couple days before the reception, my wife and I went on a little reunion with a few of her friends.   After dinner we headed to K-TV for karaoke.  Her friends asked me what kind of music I liked, they wanted to find ...

I liked LinLin and JunJun, I was hoping they would go back to China and become Mando-Pop stars.  The only Mando-pop star I like is Yuki Hsu from Taiwan and she is now bankrupt, I always pick the winners.  There was also this song from mainland China featuring a group of women singing something like,...

[quote name='Petit Hulk' timestamp='1360820918' post='144305'] You're right I'm just an ugly girl and I'm sooooooooo jealous of horse face and her utter perfect "NADESHIKO" I feel the need to hate on her constantly for existing despite having forgotten about her since her flat ass left mm ...

[quote name='Al Kusanagi' timestamp='1360813489' post='144290'] See, Sayumi played a CHARACTER when she started out doing TV appearances, and there's footage of her apologizing to people after those shows for being in character. When people legitimately started to hate her, she started to be the swe...

[quote name='TnB' timestamp='1360897210' post='144382'] Uuugh I hate you Matt, whoever you are, for reviving this thread. Everything that could have been said has already been said, and now we have people arguing back and forth over whether or not they liked Koharu to begin with. Old news! Can we pl...

[quote name='Pucchi mo' timestamp='1360884480' post='144356'] [quote name='Matt' timestamp='1360812821' post='144288'] I think a lot people just dislike her because she is beautiful and was chosen for Morning Musume based on her looks. [/quote] Except, she was busted as fuck when she auditioned. Mos...

I have come late to this thread. I just wanted to find out what all the fuss was about Koharu-chan's radio appearance. I had no idea there were so many Koharu haters. I think it was great that Koharu-chan spoke her mind. I think the Japanese get too caught up in their version of Confucian politeness...
