Not that they hate her being rich, cuz famous artists are generally rich anywayz. They might find her being too exaggerate (which sometimes I do think that). |
I agree with this. But I basically agree with this to all celebrities that throw their surreal fame and fortune into the face of the general public. And I'm not necessarily saying that's what she does because she
is rich--absolutely no denying that--and she's definitely allowed to spend the money she's worked her ass off to get however the hell she wants, but there are times I feel like (especially through her instagram) she likes showing off her $2,000 hats, $12,000 sunglasses, etc... etc.... which can be a huge turn off to anyone of the general public, not just the Japanese, because it makes for jealousy and jealousy is a poison. (Though, I'll be honest. I'm on the poorer side of the American economy, which means I can hardly afford the roof over my head. I see someone wearing a $20 watch or being able to afford a vacation to the beach and I get jealous. So this is mostly me speaking out of dark envy.)
On the other hand. Utada Hikaru finds a potato and posts it on instagram. (is it instagram?)
A.
Potato.
I can honestly not think of something anymore low-key.
Edit:
Oh, I totally forgot that you deserve an award of some sorts for reading my entire post on the last page. Not much I can do over the forums besides give you an awesome emoji that I've always wanted a reason to use but never had:
Tada!!!!
