Ermm...This has no point..O.o
For some reason I can't comment on this...that and I don't have enough room to say all that I want to say, but this video is pointless.
All the points that shows how 'unoriginal' SNSD are REALLY general. I mean, the clothes are very common ALL OVER THE WORLD, so are skinny jeans with puffy jackets and sun glasses, that look is popular EVERYWHERE. Then the whole thing with them being black in one part of the video and white in the other part, again, something that just looks good that is EVERYWHERE. Then the dance moves that are compared, well, first of all those people were in the same company, which might mean they might have the same choreographers or their choreographers have mingled to have similar dance moves, plus those moves are ALWAYS in dances. They're transition movies...Have you SEEN Hello!Project? Or at least Berryz Koubou or C-ute, their dances are ALWAYS the same because they always have the same choreographer, of course they look different, but they basically have the same moves.
Just because somebody does some of the same moves doesn't mean they've plagiarized, as long as it's in a different pattern, then it gets more original. It's like me drawing eyes the same way as a different person. Doesn't mean my work is going to look TOTALLY like that person and it's not plagiarizing.
Then the other clothes that they showed. Well, their clothes were INSPIRED by those, they're not trying to copy them.
And the Rihanna song and SNSD's Oh! song, sound NOTHING alike. I saw some other video where they were put together...I heard NO similarities (though it did sound good together...XD). And the other song at the end, also sound completely different, but again, this melody is used EVERYWHERE, but you can definitely see the difference between Korean feel good happy songs and American feel good happy songs, they sound completely different if you listen for similarities. There may be a few, but that American song is actually like every other feel goo happy song in America, so that song is probably copying an American song. But SNSD had nothing to do with it.
I don't think SNSD are unoriginal. But I don't like them anyways. Not because they show very small signs of plagiarism (which would not be their fault, it would be their company's fault), but because they seem so...so fake...Like they are just dolls doing whatever their company tells them. They all have the same body types, basically the same kind of features, the same kind of voices, but different personalities. I find that suspicious. I don't think they're free enough, they must look a certain way and they follow that certain way. But I think Super Junior is more free in their dance moves and such. They're not keeping a certain look in their dance moves, in fact they're pretty neutral unless they add in their own personalities, but SNSD's dances are just keeping to the same kind of mood. The kind that appeals to mostly men, but are sweet enough to appeal to girls, too.
And I think the members should be more free in what they do because they just seem like people trying to be perfect Kpop singers, but they really not. And then you have the people who don't like SNSD, like the person who made that video, that if they show and OUNCE of their personality or more creativity they're criticized, but isn't that what they wanted all along?
So I feel partially bad for SNSD...They should be more free like AAA! ^ ^ AAA is pretty free, I don't think there are any images going on, they all act the way they want. But Morning Musume is kinda similar to SNSD, except they all have different images, but they all have to keep with those images. Like how Yossy always wanted to be the cute girl, and she is really girly in real life (so the members say...I think I'd trust what the members say than the fans and company), but she has to be the tough tom-boy girl, instead of what she really wanted to be. And I think that's why Maki Goto left H!P, because of the imaging that they did. And so she could be free she signed with Avex.
A lot of groups are signing with Avex now, and I think that's because they're companies are too strict and Avex is more for expressing creativity, so they have a lot of different kinds of artists there who seem more professional just because they are more of their normal selves.
Okay, I'm done! XD

I tag anybody who wants to do this one! 
So I'm a Lolita/Shota Character...of course...
I'm actually like the Rima of real life (Rima from Shugo Chara!). Seriously, when I saw her in the episode she was first in I was like...O.o That's creepily exactly like me...O.o Like how she hands on to Amu's shirt when they're walking in the hallway...I do that with all my friends...or hang on to something so I don't get lost...O.o And apparently I'm REALLY small...O.o Annnd...well, those are the more creepy ones, I can't really remember the rest...Oh, and apparently my friends tell me I'm REALLY serious but I can be REALLY silly at times, too...Which I thought I was always silly...TT^TT (In fact, my friend put down me for the most serious person she knows on some survey...TT^TT)
Anyways, I should really do more of those, they're really fun! XD If only I knew where to find a good list...
Speaking of lists I'm going back to my REALLY LONG lists and making one HUGE list of musical artists to listen to. I have Arabic pop singers (which I'm almost done with), Mandopop, Dark wave, Picopop, Electro (which I'm nervous about because I only seem to like electro pop by Yasutaka Nakata who is a genius), indie pop (not really sure what this is...I haven't listened to a singer on that list, yet), Euro disco (this one...I'm also nervous about because of traumatic bubblegum pop events), Eurodance, and Eurobeat (which I heard is the kind of music I like which most Jpop is based off of, so I'm gonna go look at that one some more), and that's it, because I can't think of any other genres I like...and I can't find anything on Russian music, which I DO like...but I can't find any lists...TT^TT Or information at all...
So I'm pretty busy...
I'm posting again and you can't stop me! >:)
I need to stop posting so many times....I'm seriously spamming your 'Friend Updates' list...XD
But I'd like to say that...I really want to write something...I mean, a story...or something like that. And I'm tired of trying to make it into a manga. I just want to be free to know that I'm not going to have to draw whatever I wrote down later...And I'd probably post the chapters of said story on here or DA (or maybe Mangafox, but I really don't see it has a fanfic friendly website).
But my problem is what setting should I choose? I keep wanting to do futuristic/modern...but then I want to make it historical oriental styled, but then I want to make it medieval styled...I just want to write something where I can use my knowledge of the Roman Empire's corruption to create a similar story except with more corruption (or not so much corruption...there was a TON of bad stuff happening in the Roman Empire). So I thought of doing a setting like Code Geass'....but...would that be TOO much like Code Geass? I'm not sure...and I can't decide and it's killing me.
Should I go with a setting similar to Code Geass' or just go with futuristic, oriental, or modern?
And I just now fell in love with Shinobu Tanno's artwork (I didn't like it before for some reason):
All her (Shinobu's a girl's name, right? I'm just going to say she's a girl) artworks are AMAZING. Except for the Gackt ones...I don't know...they just don't work with her style...and a bunch of stuff is wrong in them...>.> But as soon as I saw her artwork I thought Guin Saga!! Which I'll never read because it's waaayyyyy too long and doesn't really make me want to read it...THAT much...>.>
But just looking at her pictures makes me want to either write a book or draw in that style...TT^TT Somebody needs to write a good vampire novel or movie that is actually good, accurate, and doesn't focus on romance, and if there IS romance, it's not with a mortal...woman...XD Seriously, in Dracula I thought Dracula was getting rather close to Jonathan Harker...XD That or he was just getting really hungry. But it should have romance like...fake...like the vampire THINKS he's in love with the mortal, or the mortal thinks that, or we think that, but he's actually just really hungry. Like how I'm in love with muffins, and most people are in love with chocolate. It has to be perfect and you have to enjoy it slowly...
I'll probably write it...okay...>.>
Too many things to write...
I've made a decision, though, that I'm going to make a BUNCH of stuff for my ideas and stories so that once I get to a point where I could possibly make an actual manga or publish my story or something, I will have many to choose from. Maybe too many, but I could probably pick out what'll work well and what I'll love to do. Like I'd love to do 360...NOW...but in the future, I might not want to do it...Like with Clockwork, I REALLY wanted to do that...but looking back on it...my ideas were really stupid...
Going even further back, Sakura Petals, I REALLY wanted to do that and I tried and tried to make it awesome, but I realized in the end, it was a HECK of a stupid idea...I feel ashamed to have thought it up...>.> Like what I turned into my teacher...Uhh...Why'd I do that...She should realize how naive I was and shouldn't complain. Plus I hated it anyways, so I don't see how she could take it seriously...
And my action manga idea with that Bubblgum character with no name, I'll tell you what I'm thinking of the story line to be like. That there is a SUPER popular tournament in this one country (probably East Asian-ish, but it's not going to be real, but it WILL have culture very similar) is a fighting tournament. And tons of people try to get in, but they have to pass all the practice rounds just to get in, and that in itself is like a grande tournament. And if you get into the real tournament, you'll get tons of money anyways, and if you win you'll get TRILLIONS of dollars.
This tournament is universally run and is similar to the Olympics somewhat. It is held every 5 years (not 4...>:) ) and has people from all over the world fighting in it. There are very little wars in this land because they're usually fought about in the tournaments.
Anyways, besides that there are veterans who can be from anywhere and they are REALLY popular and earn the most money than any other competitor. In fact, they're so popular that they're payed extra to stay in the tournament. But nobody knows it's government run, and just thinks of it as some really popular tournament and nothing more, but it's REALLY important for the rest of the world.
Guhh...TO THE POINT. The main character is a kid (actually like 17) who has a double life. Since he likes education and learning he plays the nerdy quiet kid who's REALLY good in school (because he is), but in truth he is actually a very famous street fighter who fights illegally on the streets (hence the name, mon) for fun and is the best of the best because of his great skill (knowledge plus strength equals great skill) so he was invited to go to the tournament (happens only when the government of that country REALLY thinks the guy is going to win), but he still has to participate in the training tournament, but gets to skip all the way to the semi-finals, just in case he's not as good as they think he is.
So all these guys are ridiculously strong and fight for their countries and for money and a bunch of other stuff. A hardcore tournament manga. That's basically it.
There, I've told you EVERYTHING...that I can think to tell you right now....So that means I'm probably not going to write it...or MIGHT in the VERY far future...it's on my list of possible stories to write...My yaoi list...XD No, I just call it that because it seems like there's nothing but yaoi ideas on there...I can help my perverted-ness...The fact that I haven't read one just makes me burst with random ideas that I think my be good....XD I don't want to read one because I don't really like to read manga with a ton of sex in it and such deep romance. I just like romance manga that scratches the surface of romance, but doesn't go any further than that...because then...it's just too far for me...>.> It gets to a point where romance is annoying or disgusting. So I don't read yuri, yaoi, or hentai...because it just gets disgusting...even if it might have a good story.
Well....I gotta go to bed now...>.> And the bugs are attacking me and my screen...and my nose is itchy because I'm aware of the bugs (my nose always gets itchy when there's a bug around...like bug senses...no, only if I know that the bug is there).
Darn...
Doing this because it looked fun and I read it on Paulini's world...XD
Rules!!!
-You must answer all the questions truthfully..
-Tag at least 6 people after you've done and inform them on their pages...
01. What was the first anime you've ever watch?
Dragon Ball Z...I think...O.o That's my earliest memory...sooo..
02. What anime influenced you to start drawing?
Sailor Moon! ^ ^ Because I kept making my own characters and looking at fanart on the internet of it, so I drew it a lot.
03. One of your favorite member criticize your artwork which you've spent hours on, you...
Feel a bit depressed and shattered, but then realized that they're actually helping me and that they were totally right.
04. You judged an artwork based on what?
Effort (for people on here), but for professional artists, on creativity, colour, and use of their style (Which is why I'm disappointed in Obata-sama).
05. Who's your favorite artist in TheOtaku? 'I don't know' is not an answer...
Geikou, kiiko, and vee209...but they rarely get on...so it makes me depressed...TT^TT
06. Who was the first member to talk to you?
Not sure...probably ShadowKira...I can't remember...>.>
07. What do you feel when a new member criticize your artwork?
Yey! A new member who's active! ^ ^ Really, comments from new members makes me happy! ^ ^ I don't care much about if they like me until they start becoming popular and they don't like me...then I won't like them...Dunno why, but it's happened sometimes.
08. You don't get too much hugs, favs or comment for an artwork you put your heart in, you...
That actually happened with my two Xmas pictures...XD I usually try to look for the problems after that and try harder on the next pictures to top them and see what happens.
09. You were hoping your favorite subscriber to leave a comment on your artwork, but they never did, you...
Actually, I don't really care...Whoever comments will comment, and I appreciate it, but I don't expect people to do anything for me.
10. Did you get nervous when you're about to leave a comment in an Otaku Legend/Senior Otaku or any other high ranker's artwork?
Yes...Well, actually members who are REALLY popular and pretty good artists...
11. Did you subscribe back to those who subscribe to you?
No, not unless I know them really well or I'm really good friends with them. I'm not going to subscribe to people who's updates will just be a nuisance to myself. I like to keep my pages clean.
12. Did you check the artworks of your subscriber?
Yes, but I get depressed when they have no artwork....>.>
13. How many times did you visit 'New Member Introduction' site in a week?
Never, I did once and their introductions annoyed me. I'm not going to be friends with people who happen to like all the same stuff I like, how do I know they're interesting people or even nice...>.>
14. Last Question, do you like this questionnaire? And why is that?
I liked it because it was fun and not too personal like a lot of them are.
I tag anybody who wants to do this!
I'm a very negative person...XD
Sorry, can't fix it...
I can't fix the last post, so I'll post Tokyo Jihen here (plus some more songs of theirs):
I like the guitar in the beginning. ^ ^
This is one of their more...ermmm...epic, I guess, songs.. Where it's all soft in the beginning and then it gets more intense. It's a very beautiful song.
There's a live for you. Aren't they amazing? I like this song even though it's in English, I like the beat it's really catchy.
Okay, that's it for now!
