/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Why is Oricon not including international orders in their numbers? Are they retarded or something? They could just include a separate "international chart" if they want to be purist with their racist "Japanese music is for Japanese only" retardation.

They spent all this money for Cool Japan yet they locked off one of the most accessible and popular cultural products of Japan, which is Jpop music. That's the catalyst, the key ingredient there.

And now that AKB48 is gaining more international recognition, they could have capitalized on this to generate hype for the group. This would make Japanese people proud of AKB48, stand by them as the flag bearer of Jpop, instead of being labeled as the shame of Japan.

The meeting that saved Nogizaka.
