man 2002 was a good year.

2002 was GREAT for J-music in general! I really miss it too. :(
cynth84 15th-Mar-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
Preach! Its sad but it's like J-pop has gone down since like 08. Only thing that gives me "life" now a days is people like daichi & matsushita. Sad.
afuri_kurage 15th-Mar-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
agree. I'm only listen to vision factory artists now :/

People in general. For us, it'd be fans of Asian artists who complain about the U.S. market for many reasons, not many of them being all that valid.

he sounds incredibly bitter
thefortysecond 15th-Mar-2012 12:26 am (UTC)
Hehe, saying "Jpop is shit" is basically like saying "everything yellow is shit". It's wayyyyyyy to general to really have any meaning.

seeing so much proof this week that 'popular' is not synonymous with 'good'.
afuri_kurage 15th-Mar-2012 12:34 am (UTC)
some talented one sometimes being underrated..

tbh it's more like it sold bad compared to their older albums.. i'm guessing they sold like <5000 copies with square one and with cosmicolor they sold 76k in the first day

kuumin 15th-Mar-2012 12:29 am (UTC)
kyary... okie dokie...
moob 15th-Mar-2012 12:31 am (UTC)
lol
moob 15th-Mar-2012 12:29 am (UTC)

perfume 15th-Mar-2012 12:42 am (UTC)
then he can finally chart
kotomichi 15th-Mar-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
um. okay then. fuck off?
debx3 15th-Mar-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
Somehow I feel that by Jpop he meant Korean artists in Japan.

Just how I feel reading his tweets n replies..
a4lem 15th-Mar-2012 12:33 am (UTC)
This is what I thought as well. I think he's referring to Korean artists in a way hijacking the Japanese music industry.
falsie 15th-Mar-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
someone said the other day that good rappers were rare and it reminds me of this. just dumb shit
.he just sounds so dumb

....are you talking about Drake lol?
ohprecioustime 15th-Mar-2012 12:33 am (UTC)
he is mad, his crap album flopped hard, tbh half of it sounded familiar,the other half tired (Calvin Harris should sue him for Perfect Place tbh)

he shouldn't talking when he is apart of the crap he speaks of
sergel02 15th-Mar-2012 01:59 am (UTC)
I agree.

I think he's at least partially upset their legendary comeback album flopped and some no names and a remix album charted better than their's.
niara_honey 15th-Mar-2012 12:33 am (UTC)
I mean I can see what he's saying. TBH he should be directing his "fuck you" to the industry not jpop, which makes ppl immediately think of artists. It's not them who are making the field what it is, it's the ppl who are plucking them up, stripping whatever image they may want to be and putting them into a cookie cutter mold that ppl have buying into because they like it and/or that's all they're really being given. (let's be honest, only a few of us are willing to search for artists that don't get that much press but are way more talented)

Granted there are other acts out there, but shit, as much as I tried avoiding KE$HA, it was pretty hard not to be singing her songs when they played on the radio every 5 minutes, I saw here everywhere. Even on freaking Nickelodeon! (as an example of mass media marketing "trapping" us).

Man needed to word shit properly but hell, that's what you get when you have 140 characters and you're not trying in Japanese and you don't give a shit. :/

he just has a lot of...feelings
kaleido37 15th-Mar-2012 01:34 am (UTC)
he doesnt even go here!




i had to
kaycry 15th-Mar-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
there is so much happening in j-pop, i dont understand how anyone can just make a sweeping generalization like that - jpop is more than just kyrary and idol groups

2002 is a good year of jpop,
I still remember how awesome I Am.. and RAINBOW is.
kaleido37 15th-Mar-2012 01:39 am (UTC)
aww bless! they we're revolutionary albums that year including utada's deep river
prushrush 15th-Mar-2012 12:39 am (UTC)
my first reaction: u mad?

My second reaction: lol he's right. LOL Perfume, lol AKShit, lol j-pop's constant failure to evolve.

At least TM NETWORK is coming out with a new single in April, so not all hope is lost unless TK makes them sound like Generic Pop Group #5,000 because he's pretty much an indentured servant to Avex
kuumin 15th-Mar-2012 12:53 am (UTC)
akshit xDDDDD ahahahaha you're hilarious LOL !!
maclou 15th-Mar-2012 12:39 am (UTC)
I wonder what he means by scared? Scared to try something new? Or something like scared of KPop? idk but I think some of it is laziness too tbh.
