<description><![CDATA[All the young Japanese boys/men I know seem fine to me, even the visual kei musicians I know. Anyone who's seriously looked at the birthrate problem knows that its the work system at fault. One of my best friends is a guitarist and he is going into his profession out of school with the mindset that he will be so tied up in work that he'll never be able to go on stage again. Whereas my dad works full time and is in two bands. America is pretty high on the hours-per-work-week list too, so that's saying something. 

I said to him when he first confessed this concern &quot;Don't say that Takashi, you'll still be able to play.&quot; and he says to me &quot;Lee, my dad works so many hours that he doesn't always come home at night, he rents another apartment near his work that most week nights he sleeps at&quot;

There are feminine men everywhere, people just decided to make a fuss about Japanese ones over the last month or so because A) press loves a new buzzword and the Japanese press is no different, and B)the west is obsessed with looking at &quot;That nation that is so much like us but completely different&quot; and has decided to get interested in this new buzzword.


&quot;Oh, Japanese celebrities are so feminine!&quot; People say. 

Hello? Back Street Boys? Queen? N'Sync? Hanson? O Town? David Beckham?  For every Kat Tun, there are six metal bands in Tokyo. Jesus people, think!


Also, birthrates are up finally. So yeah.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yeah, good luck getting box seats behind homeplate for 60 bucks at Tokyo Dome unless you buy waaaaaay ahead of time. 

When I went to Hanshin/Giants(which everyone should do once) I had to go to Shinjuku to one of those secondhand ticket places. 3rd base box was 25,000 yen. I got upper reserve for 4,000 X_X]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I know.  Like I said, Japanese boys are stupid, stupid, and more stupid.  And I eat my umeboshi like a man!  Had they listened to their elders and betters years ago there wouldn't be this epidemic!  Western attitudes about women haven't forced Western men to sit down and pee!  There are no men in Japan!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hyperdia link added, lol! Once noted as missing, I smacked my head Homer Simpson-style with a resounding &quot;doh!&quot; I'm glad some people found the list useful. It is from a US-perspective, but that's where I live so...*shrug* We had such a smooth and pleasant trip due to advance planning. I'm just glad we left a few things to chance, too. Wouldn't have been an adventure otherwise! :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nice article.  Subcultures strike again.

Who's bright idea was it to write light silver text on a white background?!

And no pictures?]]></description>
