I think Masami Nagasawa is really pretty, but that's a horrible picture of her.

I don't understand why this has to be a Japan vs. Korea issue. @ smithinjapan, why would the Japanese be embittered by Psy's success? Japan doesn't need to prove its cultural worth to anyone.

Speaking as an American of East Asian descent, and as someone who understands something about music creation and production, I can honestly say that I'm happy for PSY's success. PSY created a funny, quirky, and most importantly catchy tune that captured the imaginations of much of the world. Good on him. He also seems like a pretty down to earth chill dude, which is another plus. For anyone turning this into some sort of political issue, grow up.

It is Japan. Why shouldn't there be more Japanese dramas than Korean dramas? Makes sense to me.
