Idols, frills, cuteness and... yes, meat!

So. Waasuta ( わーすた/World Standard ) upped today a new MV and it's everything a foreigner would expect from Japanese idol music so I just had to show it. And I have a special reason for it. (Disclaimer: this is _not music I listen to) First of all yes cute girls with twintails, weird outfits, animations, Japanese style studio, everything mixed in as weird way as possible. And let's not forget the paws. So a bunch of all weird Japanese stuff you'd expect from a Japanese MV (actually made like that 100% on purpose, this is their style and very extra also from the Japanese point of view). But what made this 110% Japanese and made me show this is the fact the song is actually about eating meat. If you listen to the song, they keep singing "oniku tabetai, kimi to tabetai" and that's basically "I want to eat meat, I want to eat it with you!" (It was released just today so I must rely on just my own Japanese with the translation, but I guess that...

As I mentioned in my intro post I LOVE visual beauty so let me explain why it makes me listen to Japanese music. The Japanese just make everything pretty. In Tokyo I guess you can't even find a piece of cake in a cafe that would look even the slightest bit handmade. They're all picture perfect. Their visual style just meets my idea of visual beauty and when it comes to music, the visual aspect is pretty much always there. Music isn't bought just because of good music or singers or so as in Finland, on the contrary the music labels first find pretty talented people and then start training them and make music for them and sell it with the artists promoting everything. Then there's pretty music video for promoting and stage outfits and all, and the artists always have their own visual style. More than half of the videos I watch on Youtube are music videos or live videos and I don't just listen, I watch the videos. I need to really like the music if I listen to it e...

Diary

So lately in media... I've been following my Japanese Idols as usual. Looking at their happy selfies and so on and MVs and lives on Youtube (Fans download them on Youtube for others to watch). And getting a notice on my phone from Pochi from a group called CY8ER wishing everyone good morning every single day. And other idols do the same. Lately they've been talking a lot about the environmental cases such as many not having access to the electricity due to typhoons. The tweets are in Japanese so I'm not sure if they're necessary to show.. But that's what I use my Japanese twitter for. But what Japanese idols share on social media is never too personal: idols are supposed to make fans happy so you're not allowed to say anything negative. So you shouldn't take them very seriously. They're entertainers. The content is never you know... high quality or actually informative. But they make really good music (Sometimes! Depending on the budget!)! I really lik...
