Jpop vs. Kpop

Kpop -- songs, fashion, and style in general are very western; moves are very calculated much like a robot

Jpop -- in general, they have their unique style which is very Japanese; dances are expressive and never perfect but we see humanity and individuality in the imperfection.

To appreciate Jpop, you have to scrap all your predisposition on what is cool and what is not.

I love Jpop and Kpop.

Summer time!

Well not here, but in Japan it is! I've been checking a live camera of the Nishima beach in Kanagawa Prefecture and today it really looks like summer has come! With the sun shining brightly and the blue sky on the background, so many people have started crowding the beach.  Some enjoy bathing in the sun while others are surfing. Somehow I feel like I'm invading their privacy because I really can see what they're doing..

Oh well, it just makes me feel good just seeing the sea! Especially during summer. いいね!
