well first of all where did I ever condone "leeching"? Second of all, let me tell you how much I care about hearing a Puffy song in high quality with the proper tags and lets not forget that cover art that I care so much about and supporting such hard working and talented artists. Oh wait...I can't. Now if we were talking about an independent and talented artist I'd be on your side, 100%.
NOW let me condone innocent file-sharing in moderation. Do you know what happens with the money you spend for CDs on major labels. In America, a good amount of it goes to such things as executive coke addictions and subsequent nose reconstruction due to said coke addictions. Now in Japan, I don't imagine coke addiction is much of a problem but to think the Japanese music industry is any more innocent would probably be extremely naive. I'm all for supporting musicians, but I don't really buy the "it's stealing and stealing is always as wrong as wrong can be" argument, especially in a country where they feel advertising EVERYWHERE is so important that they need to charge you 1000 yen for 2 or 3 songs. Theres a difference between downloading 1 or 2 songs from an album you think is shit otherwise (and where such a small fraction of the money actually goes to the artist) and pirating 100% of your music; that's all I'm saying. I'm not criticizing you at all, but I hope you all settle the giant inner turmoil some of you seem to be in over this little runt of a Shiina Ringo (?) release. |

No, I'm not saying they're too old or anything. (I'm very much against ageist sentiments, especially the double-standard where men can age and women can't. Although don't get me started on Madonna's ridiculous quest for the fountain of youth and refusal to age gracefully. It's not really natural at all, and I think it makes her seem silly.) It's just that their image is very young; they wear lots of youngish clothes and they generally give off this impression that they're anywhere between 17 and 25. It's almost shocking that they're not.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I do sometimes place them as "the other Halcali", before I remember the age difference x)

i can't believe they're actually elder then ringo *__* sometimes ringo looks just like their mother.... i mean the latest picture from kame no ongaeshi XD
the most striking thing is their vocal - it never changed from their debut era. they kept ten years as one day.
