    I don't care much for Amuro's music anymore, but it's amazing that she's 31 years old, has had kids, and still looks about 18 years old and has a perfect figure. She's amazing.

    @CalebAcheron: Yeah, I was surprised to see this since I have her Sega Saturn dance video game and figured she had to be pushing 30 at least given the age of that release. I find it funny how her Virtua Fighter parody in 2009 looks worse than she did as a polygon puppet on the Saturn twelve years ago. :p

    I know I am just a lowly foreigner over here....but it seems as if Japanese marketing has gotten increasingly strange over the past year or so....well ok, STRANGER than the usual strangeness.

    There is this ad, which is for McDonalds, and has nothing to do with food/eating....and had something to do with McDonalds"Rose Red" campaign....were you would get a chance to win a cheap rose colored tshirt with a totally random phrase on it like "Big Mouth" or "Dance Now."

    And recently I have seen ads for women's makeup, were the model in the ad actually wearing the makeup was a man...And the one that got me was an ad for women's bath salts featured 15 year old boys singing "Happy Bath Day" (in the vein of "Happy Birthday.")

    I mean....it just keeps get weirder and weirder, and having less to do with the actual product....

    Take the new Aflac commercials. They are incredibly obnoxious. First off, the Aflac duck in Japan says "Aflac" in an extremely "cute" way that is supposed to appeal to young women. And now, they have Miyazaki Aoi in the commercials, who is Japan's "cutest" celebrity, in that she is a 23 year old who acts like/comes across as an 11 year old. And if THAT wasn't enough to appeal to women, they now added a cat to accompany the duck, and if you sign up for Aflac insurance, you get a cell phone strap of a cat dressed up like a duck. Warning to all foreigners in Japan, if you happen to be watching said commercial in the presence of a Japanese female, be on your guard, as she may spontaneously combust, screaming "kawaii kawaii" upon viewing.

    Back to McDonalds, and their "HUH?" way of marketing...their latest campaign features a dorky looking foreigner, complete with purposely broken Japanese. Reason?? There isn't any!!!

    @Brian Ashcraft:

    While I am by no means an expert on Japanese celebs, yeah, I am pretty sure that she got divorced a couple months ago.

    I heard that her husband's infidelities were to blame, and that their relationship ended a la Jinnai Tomonori and Fujiwara Norika.

    So am I the only one who thinks that between people growing up with arcade machines, and now this, that it's going to be harder for people to understand a game with depth and meaning that isn't a simple quest for points? I think it was GamesRadar that used KOTOR as an example, someone watching them play asks "Hey! Are you winning?" they respond "Well, this is an RPG where you spend hours bu-" "So how many points do you have?".


    Maybe I'm just being too serious. Either way, those controllers are probably the most hazardous things in the restaurant next to the special sauce.
