Discrimination!!!!!

Hello everyone. Hope u guyz been doing ok right now although some of us still worrying about the report , mid-term exam and bla bla bla.

Recently, I watched this one Japanese-program on Friday nite on tv called Music Station. It is known to be the best-viewed program since it is aired on prime-time. But then, something really interesting happened during the program that keeps me thinking till now.

One of the most famous asian group Tohoshinki never appeared on the show, especially with the recent #1 on weekly Oricon (their third one, which broke a record as foreign artist with three #1s). DBSK has been consistently in the top 10 weekly in Japanese Oricon charts with their singles and last album.

Music Station usually invites singers in top 10 in Oricon at least once to perform. However, this has not been the case with Tohoshinki, as they not treated fairly. And what surprise me more was that, I went to Shizuoka recently, walked into Music store and walked around the whole thing to find tohoshinki in the tiny k-pop section in the hidden corner at the back of the store. Tohoshinki sings in Japanese, it's for a Japanese audience and it is totally 100% in JAPANESE !!! and it's still in the k-pop section. I was like , come on!!!!

The main idea is not just about Tohoshinki, what I really want to express about is the way of some Japanese people treat outsiders. Based on my experience, living with Japanese and being accepted by them are 2 different things. Japanese have these strong ideas of competing who's the best with others even among themselves. So when it comes to the outsiders like me myself and I, it will be crucial for them to be on top of us.

Don't mean to hurt or bash the Japanese but believe me they get threatened so easily. So if they feel you presence might do harm to their position, it will take them anything just to get rid out of you. Like getting No. 1 in class or bought new pairs of shoes worth 6 man. But these cases can happen anywhere and anytime regardless your nation or your races. Right?? So do think bout it, and for the Japanese maybe this kind of thinking will make them safe in their on community.

I guess so.....
