What I hate about most J-Pop fans I meet in real life

I saw a girl like that a few days ago. I was talking to a guy from China at the time and when he saw her, he just stopped talking and stared at her and said "Wowwwwwww..."

I agree with most of you guys. But I tend to avoid anime fans whenever I can. :| I find the ones who are like "You're such a baka! otaku kawaii sugoi blahblah" so embarrassing to be around, and they're the reason I don't tell anyone I listen to Japanese music until after I really get to know them. :/

I think I've actually met more real j-pop fans than anime music fans though. I even met a guy last year who knew who jpopyuna was.

The opposite thing happens to me. I'm white, born in Europe in fact, but apparently after people hear that I'm into Asian music and whatnot, they get the impression that I'm Asian, and I have to correct them.

I only know of one Dir en grey fan, but she acts completely normal. What are other fangirls like?

;_; I thought she did the world a favor and stopped. I feel personally offended by that BoA cover considering that's one of my favorite BoA songs being slaughtered.

OMG she's alive...and korean

Does anyone remember this masterpiece?



I'm slowly moving back to the topic. My friends are exactly like that, with the whole sugoi, kawaii, nande, doushde, baka, basically using every word like they're going out of style, and it's not even recent, it's been since I've known them (they're brother and sister and I've known them for like 5 years), they buy manga, watch anime and act like they know stuff about j-pop when the only songs they have or know are from anime. It erks me to my spirit. But it just makes me thankful for my other friend who's literally like obsessed with j-pop, if she wasn't around I would've gone crazy by know

I'm all about promoting people who have dreams and such but when you are tone deaf and sound like a belligerent toad squashed by a walrus engaging in mating rituals you need to be stopped.


When it comes to JPop fans... I have a hard time taking several of them serious when they try to wear fashions created in anime shows or by Japanese natives. There are a lot of things different people can pull off, but a chubby girl in the Midwest wearing a bunch of beads, colorful tops and fishnets with legwarmers, and dead hair dyed to a flaky purple/pink/blue swirl, well, I don't see myself giving her a great rating for first impressions.

I listen to JPop but I listen to so much more. If the person I can meet has something else to offer I will engage in conversation but if not I'll just say "hi" and leave it there.

You asked for what I hate....

I hate when I search for a song or pv on youtube and the only thing I get is a bunch of ugly tone deaf people singing in bad japanese x_x
Even worst when they are dancing, even worst when they are bare naked using anime/jrock inspired outfits, and even worst when they are fat (being chubby myself, I say people should know if they body allow them to dress like Koda Kumi).

And I hate every time I see a vkei or a lolita here on Brazil, u see those people dressed with fake black leater or any other material designed for cold places, using tons of make up and sweating like pigs when the temperature is like 35C, 40C... ~~

MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder, does she ever hear the song after recording it? because if she does and think its acceptable to post then she is a scientific anomaly.

The scary ones I'm referring to are delusional (think that the members of the band know about them and their 'feelings') and disturbingly obsessive (its Dir en Grey or nothing).
