That's certainly true. If you're new to the fandom you definitely need to try alot harder to get through some of these communities.

I understand what you mean. I think some people don't understand how much effort and time it takes to translate articles/videos especially I think most translators want make sure the translations are accurate. Some people just like the attention of getting thanked/recognized so that's why the steal and don't credit. But like you said it's kinda like an indirect compliment :)

Oh ya the Uda Uda and No Money episodes were good. I guess they can't keep doing super silly stuff now that they're older. Though... Aiba did come up with the idea of the otaku/gyaru theme for the recent concert. LOL. I think most groups/actors I become interested in, it's usually through something interesting in their videos/interviews and then songs/movies afterwards.


I'm from the US. I've never been to Malaysia but would like to go one day. It's easier to be a fan of Japanese movies/music in asian countries since sometimes movies and music/concerts may make it over there. We usually get the jrock groups at least. :)

For me, I think if I found some fansubs i might get into fansubs. The one thing I don't like about Kpop is that the singers all seem to be heavily more make-up'ed/made up. Wish they had a more natural look like JE idols.

How did you like the Johnny's west show? I've got it saved on my Netflix but am working towards it. I think most people think Japanese shows are kinda weird. But weird and funny/fun at the same time IMO. Rewatching 99.9 since the second season is coming out.

It's been nice talking to you on here. I don't get to meet alot of JE fans since I've just come back. Always feels like I'm intruding on other people's circles/conversations. Are you on twitter by chance?
