haha I'm blogging again in this SUPER dead blog! Because I finally have time to slack off a bit because there's only Malay Lit and Sci MCQ left :D
Which means, O levels are gonna be over soon!!! Yep Yep, can't wait ^_^ But I'm still pretty scared about the results. You see I studied HARD for prelims, and I didn't study AT ALL for O levels, which tells you what?? Which tells you I'll only be getting worse results for my O levels T_T This is ultimately scary, huh? I have no idea how other people could actually go through this. Oh God.
And tells you another thing, I might not get to a JC, I might not be able to go to Poly even. Oh God. Whatever since I still have 2 papers like that might still change everything!!! If I get A1 for Sci and Humans (which is practically impossible for someone like me), than maybe I CAN get to a JC/Poly.
Whatever why am I ranting and ranting about O levels anyway?? Let's just talk about fun things xD

So, I checked up Channel V to find out ARASHI won the BOP(Battle Of the Pop)! HAH knew it. There goes solid proof that Jpop is definitely still more popular than Kpop, although Kpop is rising to fame, too much for their own good maybe??
Jpop has been the first to benefit from Kpop/Jpop craze. One of the people that benefitted greatly from this craze is Johnny Kitagawa, a darn genius in using his boys for money and personal gain. He has amazing eyes that can spot ikemens from years away. When the boys are all little chibis (and some not so chibis), they go for auditions to impress and sell themselves to Johnny. With Johnny's help of grooming them nicely and also horribly most of the time, they are able to get fame not only in Japan, but in Singapore, Philippines, France and many other countries everywhere in the world.
Johnnys(the boys of Johnny's Entertainment) specialise in all things, including singing, acting, and variety shows although not many can pull it off. Some are great in singing but horrible in acting, others the opposite, and there are also some that can't do anything at all! However despite all these weaknesses, JE have always had a great reputation and will always be treated in such a way due to how the community perceive them to be. Like the saying goes, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."
Now don't get me wrong, I AM a JE fan, however I still see the truth in JE, where although Johnnys expose them to almost everything, they aren't perfect boys whom can do everything perfectly, although everyone perceive them to be as so. Some Johnnys does have the image to be perfect such as Matsumoto Jun (Domyouji), Tackey and Yamashita Tomohisa (Akira).
Kpop rose to great fame when groups like TVXQ, SS501 and Super Junior sing and act, similar to the Idol Industry in Japan, to gain recognition first in Korea, then literally all over the world. Recently, there's been a huge craze of 'Nobody' by Wonder Girls, due to their particularly addictive beats and beautiful looks, and beautiful is probably an understatement. 'Nobody' was ironically sung by everyone and was played everywhere that even myself, who find the song quite catchy, got tired of listening to that song that has dozens of 'Nobody's in it. However it had the opposite effect in others, where more people came to like it until Wonder Girls actually went to America and sang their English version in the Jonas Brothers Concert, something Johnny can never get his boys to do, perhaps in the future.
Unfortunately, happiness is short-lived. Many of these very popular bands from Korea usually get to enjoy their fame for a year or so, until they just disappeared from Earth. No matter how popular they may be, they cannot beat how long Johnny has monopolised the Idol Industry in Japan and never will in the near future.
