>>885>>886 Oh, I see. The story is based on a novel. Here, many movie adaptations have been made. One of the most well-known is a Shirley Temple movie. Do you know Shirley Temple in Japan? I had no idea there was an anime... I'm kind of shocked.
>>891 Some hip hop is OK. But, it seems to me that most popular music today is more about the singer's image than the actual song. I don't like a harsh image. I want to tell those people... "You're just a normal person, so don't be so full of it." Ah, well...
I don't really know much about Koda Kumi. I am not into her image. But, I saw her on a variety show and she seemed very nice. At least she wears the clothes (or lingerie, hah) rather than letting them wear her (she doesn't seem to let her clothes affect her attitude).
Speaking of that, I have heard that Avril Lavigne is popular in Japan. Did you know that most audiences here rejected her because they decided she was a "poser?" In other words, they thought she should act a certain way if she was going to wear a clothing style. Why did they get so upset?
