/jp/ - Otaku Culture

those girls are hot

>>10235998

This year i visited Japan for a month, these girls (They're called AKB 48) were advertised everywhere.
I kind of understand why.
One of their videos:

>I kind of understand why
o rly

>>10238825
How come the girls in OPs picture look like adults and extremely sexy and >>10238882
look like a bunch of dorky teenagers?

>>10238882

Shoujo Jidai will never be as flawless as the girls in that video.

Let's have a civilized discussion.

like Shoujo Jidai because their music is catchy and they can certainly dance. However, I like AKB48 more because they're cute even if watching them perform live is full of second-hand embarrassment.

>>10238905
How come you act like you've never seen these people before?

Have you never been on /jp/?

>>10238915
Hes making fun of your shitty 'idols'. Hope this helps.

SDN48 was better than AKB48

>>10238921

old ladies. no thank you.

This month I've been listening to this girls

>>10238920
Who?

>>10238915
He probably doesn't browse idol threads you dork.

Anyways, do you guys ever feel like a trendy hipster for liking Japanese idols instead of the Korean ones the rest of 4chan and the world is talking about?

>>10238905
Because you are a Korean.

>>10238971
Korea doesn't have idols and no one is talking about anything other than PSY who definitely is not an idol but is in fact an anti-western terrorist sympathiser who dropped all his principles for American money.

You must be so proud.

>>10238971

No. I listened and followed one or two Kpop groups the past 3 years until I realized that everything sounds the same and that I miss Jpop. Not saying that Jpop doesn't sound the same but I guess what I'm saying is that I want my cute idols doing cute things. You only have grownass women in Kpop doing cute things.

>>10238971
>do you guys ever feel like a trendy hipster for liking Japanese idols

No.

>>10238979
What's wrong with being called Kimchi? It's fucking delicious

>>10238999

>>10238987
Proud of what?

>>10238994
I just like Japanese better, Korean sounds, I don't know a bit dirty? I can't explain it, the language just isn't as lyrical to me.

The only J-Pop worth listening to is Perfume and AKB48. Korea and even Taiwan have far surpassed Japan

>>10239021
You're either not the guy I was replying to or you forgot your original point.

Anyway, I was implying that he was Korean. Whether I actually believe this to be true or not is another matter altogether.

>>10239027
What do you mean? I was asking if you felt like /mu/ does for liking obscure things, since I'm assuming kpop is now becoming more mainstream than jpop.
I don't even browse these threads since I'm not some stupid dork that talks about 3D all day anyways.

>>10239026
I'd say it's down to individual taste really. I can't stand American pop and Korean stuff tends to be exactly the same as that but in Korean.

Maybe you're just not listening to the right Japanese stuff? http://vimeo.com/50068988

I will admit that my taste in Japanese music is almost entirely confined to idols and a few folk and 80s rock artists though.

>>10239021

Japanese lyrics > Korean lyrics.
There's nothing poetic about the lyrics of Genie compared to the lyrics of Beginner.
Kpop fans are always pointing out how AKB48/other groups sell sex but they don't even realize that Kpop lyrics are basically full of subtle sex references.

>>10239030
I was kind of being a dick while assuming that you were too and now I feel bad.

Anyway, I don't feel very pretentious or hipsterish at all. I've liked idols since I was a kid and it's never really been a "cool" thing to do, not even in a niche way.

they're exactly the same you irrational retard. if they had sang horrible shit in japanese you'd still call it superior.

>>10239049
Yes, and?

>>10239064

yeah exactly and i'm pretty sure the music sucks too people only watch it because they're cute their music videos are hot, i even masturbated to one this one time

>>10239080
I don't know anyone in this list other than Perfume and I'm probably better off this way.

>>10239085
Is it bad that I know with 99% certainty exactly which video it was?

<s>God damn it Ninagawa.</s>

>>10239080
btw im a girl :)

>>10239092
cool me 2

Call me when Kpop produces someone cuter than Mayuyu and then we'll talk.

>>10239099
Not even Koreans can be that fake

>>10239108

>Not even Koreans can be that perfect

ftfy

hangook dog music is disgusting, nida.

>>10239086
This is what a typical jpop fan is like. Get fucked and start listening to music that isn't a bunch of cheap children songs for pedophiles.

>>10239365
Eh, what makes you say that? I'm just not American is all and so I'm not very familiar with American pop.

On top of that, my ignorance on the subject probably stems more from my being into neofolk and so on. I just don't listen to pop much in general, so yeah. I don't think Death in June can be defined as cheap children songs for pedophiles but whatever you say, broniichan~.

>>10238979
>>10238987
>>10239012
>>10239027
Why did you save only the ugly ones?

Fuck off shitty jap.

>>10239608
They can't yet have plastic surgery in high school and therefore they are all ugly.

>>10239615
No they are not.

You only saved the ugly ones to bring down korea's image.

These threads are nothing but faitingu.

>>10239637
Why are you providing evidence of AKB having always been cute?

I thought we were on opposing sides and you were mad about Koreans or something but it seems you've conceded defeat.

Who is your oshimen by the way? They were all so cute even when they were younger that you could probably pick one based on that image of yours alone.

>>10239680
Yeah very cute.

more kimchi?

>>10238905
Girls Generation think of themselves as girls in the bodies of women and they said that's their charm.

>>10239828
Those aren't AKB members. Why can't you stick to any one topic?

Are you buzzed on a kimchi high or something right now? Perhaps you should try ripping apart a pig or burning a flag to calm your nerves?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1pM6FB6u_4

This isn't J-Pop but since /jp/ likes cute stuff I thought you might like these girls.

>>10239864
You didn't post SNSD members either, retard.

Go massacre some dolphins you barbaric monkey.

>>10239875
I kind of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SojvsEJlvf0

I'm not very familiar with them or anything though and I understand exactly no Korean.

>>10239864
There you go.

>>10239891
I wasn't trying to but for all I know I could have.

Can't tell the difference between one chon and another honestly.

These are yours, right? Some of the average schoolgirls we've posted, both Japanese and Korean, are actually cuter than them if you want my honest opinion.

>>10239888
I love Orange Caramel they are adorable.

Their main group After School was inspired by Morning Musume and it has a graduation system so I think these 3 will all leave at once to continue OC works when their time comes.

>>10239904
Ah, yeah, I heard they were technically a subgroup of another group or something but couldn't remember which. I just like that song a lot but I don't know them beyond that.

Also, I'm really bad at being consistent, what with saying I like a K-pop group while trolling a turboscrub Korean at the same time. /jp/ is hard sometimes, man.

Do these threads have to get mean and racial?

I like both J-pop and K-pop equally and I also like SNSD and AKB.

My favorite SNSD member is Jessica
My favorite AKB member is Mayu
My favorite SNSD song is Merry Go Round
My favorite AKB song is Baby Baby Baby

Let's embrace our differences and be friends~!

>>10239964
I genuinely dislike SNSD's music and even moreso most of their fans but I like some kpops, particularly Orange Caramel and e.via and don't actually hate Koreans for the most part. I also like that one Bo Peep song, especially the Japanese version, but I've heard that the original Korean version's PV is super slutty so I don't know how to feel about those girls. The main problem with Korean stuff is that it just generally doesn't belong on /jp/ is all.

Anyway, sure, let's be tomodachis.

>>10239907
That's not Jessica's good angle and she's not wearing make up so it's kinda unfair to use that picture in a list that is implying surgery.

Here are pics from when she was in middle and highschool.

>>10239907
seobaby~

>>10240009
I wouldn't be able to name even one SNSD member if asked to be perfectly honest with you.

>>10239996
There are 3 versions of Bo Peep

Cute
Sexy
Japanese

The first 2 were released at the same time and Japanese was released during their promotions in Japan.

I hate to say this but T-Ara themselves aren't good girls (even without the bullying rumors)

-Jiyeon did an online strip video when she was underage for an older man

-Soyeon was going to be SNSD's leader until she had an affair with a married manager

-Hyomin was part of a sex club or something

-Boram is immature and only there because of her famous parents

-Ahreum is mean and told her friend to get PS and laughed online after saying another girl group member had a large face and bad skin

The rest are bad too but not as bad as these.

!DQN what do you think of Bis?

>>10240072
They're interesting and quite different from everything else out there right now which is good since the idol scene is getting just a bit oversaturated with groups that are trying too hard to be like AKB48 because that's what's in right now.

I like it when crazy or at the very least different groups appear on the scene which is why groups like Passpo with their rock sound and Fudanjuku with their crossdressing grabbed my attention. I think BiS are a promising group, bringing the indie idol aesthetic to a more mainstream audience. It's probably good for foreign idol fans especially since following indie idols is a difficult thing to from abroad. I'll be supporting them for sure. What about yourself? How do you feel about them?

!DQN, what do you think of bis?

perfume makes the only good music

>>10240174

I think Perfume fans might enjoy Mayuyu's new solo single: http://jpopsuki.tv/video/Mayu-Watanabe---Hikaru-Monotachi/81544ebf971bb0513bfc7415a919c418

!DQN what do you think of haggis?

>>10240309
It's literally my favourite food.

Oh man it's good to have the archives.

>>10240634
You know they've performed at Tokyo Dome already right? Is that why you posted this?

>>10240784

yes

>>10240634
That guy must feel silly. If he doesn't then I hope some day he finds out and feels filly.

>>10240803
silly*

>>10240799
You're pretty alright.

It's kind of funny how AKB is popular enough to have consistent threads on /jp/ compared to how it was those days. This place almost rivaled morningcoffee in terms of buttmad anti-AKB posters back then. I'm almost tempted to go delve through the archives myself just for private gloating purposes now that you've brought it up.

>>10240803

funny thing is that this was from a morning musume thread

captcha: succesful, sopyyrus

I guess I'll go appreciate K-pop somewhere else.
