Let's face it, I'm not a music person.
However, regardless of that fact, at least I still respect music which I'm not into. For people who know me, I'm obviously a jpop (or H!P fan to be exact) fan.
Honestly, I'm unable to appreciate kpop. I don''t hate them or whatsoever. I know that some of them even had 10 years of training before debuting which is really admirable. However, I usually don't chase after music that's in the trend. Or more like I'm not the kind of person who follow trends. I lead life in my own pace and I usually give my support to those that are left behind.
By saying 'left behind', let's be honest here. Morning Musume or any other H!P groups' popularity is slowly dying down. They no longer perform on suuuuper big stages as before and they are obviously lagging behind in oricon charts. Yet, somehow I'm still a fan of theirs. Strange, yet true.
H!P produces some really meaningful songs. Such as 'Tomo' and 'Namidacchi'. It's not the usual lovey dovey or cutesy songs they do, but it's songs about Friends and being strong. I also learn a lot from the artists themselves. Take Ai-chan as an example. *Refer to previous posts.
I really appreciate my poor friends who watch all the youtube videos I spam them with. Hahaha. They didn't have to, but most of them watch the whole thing. Well I guess that's simple respect right? I mean when people share with me music, I'll give the music a chance and listen/watch the whole thing. It's really hard to make me go crazy over something but at least I listen to the whole thing.
All music is beautiful, it's just a matter of whether you can appreciate it or not. Basic respect is to just listen to the whole thing and keep all criticism to yourself if you can't appreciate it. Especially if you're talking to a fan. I know I can't control anyone's mouth/way of thinking, but it really hurt me when people just... do things they do.
Let's be direct here. I'm not a kpop fan, but yet I finished watching the whole video that consisted of TWO kpop songs. And yet, you can't even finish watching one jpop video that I wanted to share with you. By 'sharing', it doesn't mean that I'm forcing you to like it. I don't know how to phrase this anymore, but I was just really hurt and disappointed. Apart from this, I find it so hard to talk to you now... I sincerely want to talk to you but I keep feeling this barrier between us. We say we love and miss each other, but is that really true? ):
Sigh.
