London Hearts Idol Trap - What in the world?
As a huge Japanese Drama watcher I came across this variety TV show. I have to admit I am not as much of a fan of Japanese variety shows as much as I like J Dramas. Well, I decided to DL this (while waiting for the new dramas) and watch this London Hearts Idol Trap. I may not know what the heck they...

Well, the person he always goes and sees when he has a problem is Natsumi and she is in worse shape personally then Abe - via person relationships. If you think about it even though Natusmi can connect with others she really doesn't have anyone. Notice the long long scene once she hangs up her cell ...

Just some thoughts related to Japanese Culture/media
First off I had a dream that I traveled to Japan and came across another foreigner like myself - I forget the rest of the dream, but it made me ponder something.

Who needs a pretty young girl to draw and audience. I would try to make a play for Natsumi, even though she is 38 and I am 24. Older Japanese woman are hot. Well, the ones in this drama anyway.

Here's one hypothesis... In America, the artist carries the show and his reputation, and the TV network and his agency pretty much stays out of the picture. I.e.
