I first heard their songs back in 1999 (I think); a friend loaned me a CD and I fell in love with Yuuwaku ♥ I didn't know a word of Japanese back then, so for some time I referred to that song as Morning Moon since those two of the English words I could make out in the song. Then amazingly and randomly, there was a special program about them on tv late one night and the sight of the vocalist in a black shirt and hot pink pants sealed my love for them :D. Kidding, but I really loved their energy, enthusiasm and the joy they showed when performing.
I can actually find their stuff pretty easily here and at pretty reasonable prices to boot. They're not that popular here though... well, mainly cos they've been around for a long long time.
Ah well, aren't most stereotypes a little silly anyway? I actually didn't know of this stereotype before. I mean, maple syrup reminds me of pancakes, which brings to mind Canada (actually, it brings to mind a silly manga I've read before first), but Canada doesn't immediately make me think of maple syrup. Ah whatever, it still tastes good with pancakes, that's the most important bit.
I've never thought of how culture and festivals can vary so much in a country due to their size but that's very true. (...I was trying to think if this applies to Malaysia and then I realise that I can't say much on the variance in culture but I know quite a bit on the variance in food and the signature dishes in each region orz.) Anyway, you mentioned that the northen province isn't much like the southern part; how so? Or is that another can of worms? ;p
Ahahahaha, over here we complain about the heat. I wonder if it's a worldwide thing, complaining about the weather. I... constantly grumble about the weather in the UK too. Except for that two lovely days in February when it snowed ♥ My first time ever seeing snow actually piling up! My first snowball! Though I'm pretty sure people in countries with more snow were mostly laughing at how 6 inches of snow crippled London's transportation system.
lol one of the links in your bookmarks leads to a post I made anonymously. It's really obvious which one it is if you're curious so I won't tell you.
Saiyuki- READ THE MANGA. I know I sound like a manga elitist, but seriously, the manga is so good. I love how it can make me just crack up laughing at some parts, and other parts will make me stop and think and reread the entire part. ...you know, I actually have VHS tapes of the Saiyuki anime too. Not quite official ones; I recorded them when they were showing on tv many years back.
I didn't expect you to reply so fast <3
