Likewise, fans have also violated their own responsibility to their objects of support. After all, do they not have a duty to protect and support their idol? Shouldn't they support them in leading a happy healthy romantic life? If an idol falls in love and wishes to get married, they should be the first ones coming out in support and wishing them good luck. They should have the loyalty to support their idol through thick and thin. They should be defending the idol against their ruthless employers. They are disloyal, selfish and untrustworthy troops. The model behaviour for fans would be that shown by those of Britney Spears. Britney Spears did things far more disgraceful then any Jpop or Kpop idol ever has, but still her fans closed ranks and supported her through fair and foul, against popular mockery by the wider public and media at large. I'm no fan of Britney, but in this respect her fans showed model behaviour. I don't see an irresponsible Idol, I see an irresponsible production company taking advantage of young vulnerable girls, and selfish jealous so called "fans" without a shred of loyalty in their bones. |

Everyone around me who knows Japanese food is always, "Tonkatsu! Tonkatsu! Tonkatsu!" even though I really do not like to eat pork... it's nice to know there is a katsu for beef! What kind of grade meat they use? I wonder if it's like country fried steak (though lighter I'm sure since katsu isn't fried in thick batter and eaten with high calorie white gravy). |

My generation inclines towards business and finance because they don't like to sweat and work in tough environments. Neither do I, however I get perks working there because most, if not all the time, the people there know their work and have the drive to get things done with elegant solutions, it is like giving Leonardo Da Vinci a screwdriver and hammer and watch him build a Mona Lisa fembot complete with pleasure functions. I worked for Japanese and Korean electronics/engineering firms as a kick-around kid before, but I don't mind being so because these old men are literally gods in human form - they know almost everything and can build things from scratch. Right now I am attached to corporate being commanded by idiots, it is still a big-star Asian company however it seems that these people.......have no idea what the hell is going on at the production, sales, technical/engineering lines at the bottom. Where are the gods I want to worship? Why are the production lines slowly becoming disused temples?

Unfortunately, the benefits of lean thinking have not yet filtered out into the wider economy. If they did, everyone would be more efficient, and much happier, because Lean doesn't work if you treat employees like disposable assets. I am quite hopeful that the market will do the work for us, as colloborative lean enterprises outcompete outmoded, conflict driven dysfunctional one. To my mind the overemphasis at the moment on "business" and "finance" is Muda waiting to be eliminated. If we want profitable productive business people need to be getting down and dirty producing things faster, cheaper, more reliably and at higher quality. |

You know, there's a topic more interesting then idols' right to date that's currently going on in Japan. What's with the quirky rise of Indonesian references in anime ? Kyo-Ani in particular, is especially guilty of this.

But businesses have karmic shifts. Now rise the SME contractors set up by the bottom end contractors who hold these big companies at mercy with their know-how. The companies think they can switch these contractors around, but the familiarisation costs and downtime with the other SME add up over time - it is a silent killer. Quote:
1. How science and math is being taught in schools (what do you mean by "just memorise the formula and don't ask too much"?) 2. How people treat engineers and technicians (blue-collar workers with nowhere else to go in life) 3. How technical work is viewed as simple and monotone (have you nuts ever tried building an electrical circuit from scratch with only a list of what functions it should have?) Finance pays less than engineering due to the current increase of supply if such graduates, but people don't want to go into engineering because of how they are being viewed.

Would need specific examples, but I figure that it's probably due to the importance of Indonesia to Japan these days. Koreans (even if they are basically invisible), Chinese, Americans, and Europeans are basically stock by now, leaving mostly Southeast Asia as the significant "foreign" element. Among the countries there, the Philippines and Indonesia are the most prominent, and since Indonesia is more "foreign" (obviously Islam among many things), it would be more utilized.
This is just speculation. I would need specific examples for further analysis. |

And any feedback given within the company is treated as a corporate secret and not known to the public. It takes years (for me, around 2-5, 3 of which is before my conscription) of working at random companies periodically to see the trend from the bottom. And that includes being kicked around, arguing with saints and gods (deadly mistake), and backing them when the clueless supervisor makes a visit and tries to fingerbang his subordinates.
