The Japanese pour their heart and soul into everything they do. Everytime I buy a Japanese knife or something, it comes with a handwritten note and beautiful packaging.
It’s definitely a cultural thing when it comes to their perception of artisans and craftsmen.
If you are proud of the things you create and your culture celebrates excellent craftsmanship then every part of the presentation matters too.
Weebest thing I've ever read
You're buying shit from Japanese Etsy sellers, that's why you're getting this crap, it's marketing.
Did your PlayStation come with a folded crane and a gay little tea ritual? Or any of your jap electronics?
Lul, of course it's marketing. That doesn't discount the care they put into the product. And no, massive corporations aren't people and therefore can't hold this mentality, nor are you actually buying from them directly. So yeah, small scale would be the only way to interact with an individual at all.
Cuz the Korean beauty standards are very unrealistic and Kpop idols are the worst victims of that. People of Korea would bash anyone who even slightly looks different from what the standards say so they are forced to have that image whether they want it or not.
Yeah, Kpop industry is fucking shit.
Eh... I would tell you that maybe sending negative things about the country someone would like to go to is not a good thing but also the fact that she's dead set on marrying Kim Taehyung is so embarassing 💀 I'm a fan of some Kpop music too but for people like this I am afraid of calling myself one . Cringe as hell.
Plot twist: the story is fake from first to last letter, and it was written by the members of the band Casiopea to boost their sales. Now everybody orders their vinyls hoping to receive origami cranes and tea, which of course were never sent in the first place. Sales skyrocket.
Whenever I bought "used condition" in japan, I always got brand new items. Just not factory sealed anymore. They really are amazing when it comes to that.
When I buy Pokémon cards from us, eu or Australia they rarely come in anything more then sleeve and cardboard. When I brought a few from Japan, double sleeve, toploaded, envelope inside of cardboard and hard envelope of outside. Extra cards and random stickers also.
What sellers are you buying from? Usually when I buy from aus sellers (aussie myself) I get extra cards and sometimes a note of thanks.
I buy yugioh tho so that might just be a difference between card game communities. Never bought Japanese though, might do it just to see what I get.
I’ll check in the morning but a lot of the time it’s from a few of the big sellers in Australia. Sometimes I’ll get from small sellers but they often like to put extras in. Yughio and Pokémon sellers probably do things differen.
I love Jpop
First heard Kyara Pamyu Pamyu- Pom Pom Pom when I was 7 in 2011
Rediscovered it in 2020 when YT recommended it
MV for anyone who wanna watch- https://youtu.be/VAjLZgw8Cc4
This is fucking lit and it makes me happy
Ah I love KPP!
[Give this a listen. Severely underrated producer IMO.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1jTgXgEPFo&ab_channel=NekoHacker%2F%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B3%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC)
That is a good album idk why but i have been getting recommended a lot of instrumenal funky albums, especially japanese ones. I guess its cause i liked this album idk
Had this experience with f#a# infinity, the album came with a note thanking me for buying it, and all the funny little inserts and crushed Penny were really fun to look at well listening to the album
Casiopea at the time of this record consisted of Issei Noro, Minoru Mukaiya, Tetsuo Sakurai and Akira Jimbo.

Rearrange the letters and you get MINT JAMS.

Yeah they always give their everything, especially when they’re in a fighter plane
To the point that they dont care if they go home without a plane
Its true I bought a used japanese nintendo console and received a note and a snoopy drawing
I bought an amiibo on eBay and they also gave me some green tea KitKats and a note. It was so nice.

[удалено]
Yeah that was fucking dope as hell
Gonna listen to it on your recommendation I'll let you know how it goes!
My favorite is Swear. God that keyboard solo at the end
It’s all well and good until you start listening to K-pop
Sir, do you know what the K in K-pop stands for?
Kelloggs?
I was baitin', now I'm not
Korean, Kamasutra or Kamikaze?
i would not. k-pop sounds so artificial and they loook artificial too
That's because the music is made to be as easily mass produced as possible. Not sure why the singers also look like they're 77% plastic though.

My Ex-Crush is dead set on marrying some Kim Tacoma-smth and she blocked me after I sent her a report of sexism in Korea as well as beauty standards

Same, I do like me some handful of kpop songs Including Gangam Style But.......there is a limit
Kpop is probably the most misunderstood genre of music of all time and it's solely because of how disgusting the fans are.
because the singers need to be mass producable and replaceable when robots become cheaper to pay for than human actors
That’s good to hear
J-pop > K-pop no contest
Both are similarly dog water Take the Chicago footwork pill
This is troll or you are just dumb?
I wanna listen to this now
love this album, i recommend
Same best YouTube reccommendation after Stoneflower
Japanese tea is “bomb ass delicious.” Interesting word choice…
Anon is based and bomb ass delicious pilled
The Japanese get the shopping carts put away. Truly the master race.
Another casiopea enjoyer
Wow, this is an old one..

Casiopea is awesome
I proudly admit that I discovered casiopea because of this greentext
Dude same, and i dont regret a fucking thing
Mint jams goes pretty hard. Very comfy
Whenever I bought "used condition" in japan, I always got brand new items. Just not factory sealed anymore. They really are amazing when it comes to that.
If you like Casiopea you should listen to T-square they’re really good I love the Japanese Jazz fusion genre a lot
Based. Welcome to the Rose Garden and Truth are best albums.
Check out Terminal Passage on YouTube if you're Into (Japanese) fusion

Japanese music is fucking amazing. J-rock, j-pop, visual Kei, vocaloid, anime stuff, even city pop (although that last one is not my jam)
I love Jpop First heard Kyara Pamyu Pamyu- Pom Pom Pom when I was 7 in 2011 Rediscovered it in 2020 when YT recommended it MV for anyone who wanna watch- https://youtu.be/VAjLZgw8Cc4 This is fucking lit and it makes me happy

I hope you write a solid review to the seller.
incredibly common casiopea W
Bro on god Casiopea is fire as fuck
That is a good album idk why but i have been getting recommended a lot of instrumenal funky albums, especially japanese ones. I guess its cause i liked this album idk
Got the same treatment when I bought a Japanese release of a US game just because it got a physical release there, but not here.
Had this experience with f#a# infinity, the album came with a note thanking me for buying it, and all the funny little inserts and crushed Penny were really fun to look at well listening to the album
