"Not sure they can sing that well, they all sound more or less the same."
Compared to J-Pop, which is so amazingly forward thinking and original, right? LOL.

Y'all need to be handcuffing your kids to you everytime you leave the house.

Guaranteed he is going to be yet another one of these brainless idiots we see here EVERY SINGLE WAKING MINUTE. The level of stupidity here astounds me.

Meh. Look at her face, then look away, close your eyes, and try to visualize her. Yep, you can't. She has no redeeming features to her face.
Not her fault, of course, but indicative that people have no taste.

The Technics 1200 absolutely DID shape the music of today;
If it was not for decent direct-drive turntables (of which the Technics 1200 is the ultimate example), dance music would not have gone in the same direction.
The Technics allowed DJs to develop beat matching, and as a result, dance music standardised to allow for easy beat matching; the standard 16 bar sparse intro only started to creep in to allow easy matching in the middle of a set. The fixed BPM is also a direct result of mixing requirements.
If it was not for the Technics, things would sound a lot different.

smartacus; Like my father before me, I am going to encourage my children to seek out truths for themselves, rather than go along with this commercialized homogeneous way of life that you subscribe to.

Obviously not. When I have children, they will be getting the cold hard truth about everything from day one. Of course, I will not be denying any chance of fantasy, and they will be encouraged to explore the avenues of their deepest imaginations, but lying to the them will not be on the agenda.

hoserfella; you sound like a maniac.
The Technics SL1200, along with a lot of other Japanese music technology shaped the music of today; it is not just dance music that uses stuff made in Japan; all music has benefited from these innovations.

@YuriOtani, "Do men have only one thing on their tiny little minds?"
Tiny little minds? What are you talking about? Who invented 99.99999% of EVERYTHING in the WHOLE WORLD? MEN DID.
It might seem like we only have one thing on our minds when from your perspective, as you are a woman, and the main interactions you have with men are largely sex driven, as that is all we need to think about when it comes to women. When we deal with greater, more complex subjects, you can rest assured our minds are on FIRE.

Anyone who knows anything about phones, wifi, networking, etc, knows that we are constantly bombarded with radiation. This pacemaker argument is a load of rubbish, and is just another example of the Japanese appeasement of the folklore loving old idiots which fill this island.

“You also spot lots Asian females on their way to work at hostess bars in the early evenings, and they can be really distracting.”
Erm, what? Japanese are Asian. This smacks of that 'thing' we have all experienced, where Japanese people think they are not Asian, and some kind of shining satellite on the edge of Asia. Pathetic.

Love it when I sit in front of a bird in a short skirt on the train, and I can see all up her thighs. Best thing ever!
Any of the train lines in Tokyo are good for girls. The best train related place to check out women is Omiya station in Saitama. Christ almighty. That place is incredible.

I once had to go to one of those places to pick up a bike I had that was taken due to alleged illegal parking (whatever).
Kind of like a graveyard for bikes. Very sad.

Yeah, I agree with the sentiments about riding style and bike quality leading to police checks. I have never been stopped, and I ride everyday. I am sat on top of a 1,000,000yen road bike though, and spend my time drafting police cars, so I doubt they would dare.

On the internet all day long? I am sat on a train to Shinjuku, sending this message from my HTC Desire, killing time while my Gyaru girlfriend does her make-up.
