Posted in: Yuko Takeuchi goes behind scenes of 'FlashForward' See in context
too bad the show was cancelled. this makes the dvd set useless. stupid how u.s. programs leave the audience hanging with suspense for the next season, only to be cancelled. it really kills dvd rentals and sales.

Posted in: Why do Asian pop stars have a hard time succeeding in the U.S. market? See in context
i have to say that very few "pop stars" from asian succeed in presenting a complete package. i've heard quite a few with good or talented voices, but the music is awful, or the lyrics are ridiculous or contain dated slang and childish phrases (utada hikaru... "flavor of love" comes to mind). many of my japanese friends buy music solely because of the image or photos on the cd cover... i'm afraid it takes more than that to make it in the u.s. (although pop music in the u.s. is not much better in my humble opinion). try playing real instruments for a change... there seems to be no shortage of $$ in the japanese pop industry, you think they might invest some of it in accomplished english or american writers.
