Does anyone else think that they're freaking awesome?

I've been getting into Asian boy bands lately >.< it's sort of sad.

there pretty good

They're very cute :]

You say it like they are the Rolling Stones.

Does this have any bearing upon their musical ability?

If y'all want cute, pick up a magazine. If you want to develop some musical taste, give one of us a call.

Show me one of these effeminate pretty-boys who knows about the blues, and I'll eat my hat. This is Jonas Brothers-caliber crap, and that's coming from someone with a very diverse taste and appreciation for music.

Well, everyone likes different music. And she was just saying that they're attractive, what's wrong with that? I like them because I like their music, the fact that they're attractive is just a bonus.

I'm saying that the majority of the time, when people are talking about any musicians from Japan, they mention their appearance - sometimes, that's all they mention even though they :rheart: love :rheart: the band.

Boy bands have always been the same - get cute guys, write the same old stuff again and again with a different melody, rake in fangirls' parents' cash. It's genius, really. It's not bad music or good music - it's the absence of musical integrity.

When it comes to the greatest bands in history (and not just the ones that I like), their appearance is meaningless - their voices, sounds, and creativity are the only thing that matter.

I surprisingly agree with what you're saying, Keaton.

I do think that a lot of Japanese musicians are attractive but I like them because of their music. I wouldn't listen to a band just because I thought the members were attractive. There are bands that I love that I don't even know what the band members look like, I just listen to the music.

And like I said, looks are just a bonus if you want to watch videos or something. That's all.

take that is a good boyband *straight face*

I agree Clairebear. :P

I have three friends who are crazy about Hey! Say! JUMP. Out of all of them, I like Ryutaro and Yuri the most. Have you seen their Christmas Carol? So kawaii!

Isn't that the point of boy bands? Using their looks to rake in cash, I mean.

The recording company of Hey! Say! JUMP, JOHNNY'S Entertainment, that's all they do. All their bands are super cute/hot. They manage NewS, Arashi, and Johnny's Junior, Super Junior, etc.

Unfortunately, that is the truth. I see too much of that terrible sh*t myself. Sometimes they don't even do a good job with the "cute guys" part. Double fail right there. Two fails don't equal a win either.

Yeah, it's not about the look, it's everything to do with substance. Although X Japan pulls off both very well and is undoubtedly a legend. Obviously there are a few exceptions.

Well, they're a boy band. So they're gonna be girly...ha.

Oh, I see what you're saying. :] I still enjoy their music though.

Hahah trust me, you're not the only one! I've become a complete Asian boy band freak! Anyway, i like HSJ too! they are pretty awsome! :)

:) Woohoo! *hugs*

I think the "girl" voice ur refering to is Chinens...

:)
 

lol , same here~ ;D
wayyy too cool~~ :pinksong:

and finally someone talking about Jpop now!! YEAH!
I'm just kinda sick of Jrock band -_-
no off :p

sorry.. but I'm not really agree with it
you know? the one that you said have a girl voice must be Chinen yuuri
and now his voice has mattured
and some "bad" fans in japan are just saying "just go away! you ruin the whole thing! your voice are annoying"
and I'm not really agree with that -_-

it's kinda cool having high pitch voice in age of 15
and I love it~
it's just my opinion~
:)

for all its worth~
 

i LOVE Hey! Say! JUMP*goes into hyper fangirl mode* they are soo cute! I really want to poke Dai-chan's cheeks. ^-^

when i first heard Chinen's voice (when it was...high pitched? :P) I was like...wao, i wished i had a voice like that! so, nothings wrong with his voice even if some may say its annoying or girly, thats their opinion. Now his voice is kinda maturing...but its o.k because Chinen is uber cute! ;)

love all of HSJ >>GANBATTE!
