My April 10th Amuro Namie video was taken down so here is another one to replace even though it’s not as nice as the one that disappeared …back then, amazing to see the diversity on stage when there was … a bit of racism even over there – maybe even more so in Asia. My parents probably would have freaked out if I were to hang out like that even though they were very progressive and looking back, pretty liberal, international folks…A talk from a grandmother before taking off to US on a tatami mat was to never marry inter-racially because, “you come from a good family – NO, I am not prejudiced” but “you have to think about the children – so never marry anyone with blue eyes, etc. promise, okay?” This is coming from the mouth of a sweetest, well educated, most refined lady … So if she were alive, she probably would have gone into comatose. Yes, Japan crowned a multi-racial “half (breed)” Miss Japan … and put in context that this video is aged – coming from two decades ago – it represents a rebellious stage for Namie for the time, that may have been upsetting to the common Japanese sensibility back then – today, I’d like to think diversity is embraced more.

\nWhy is the video on the internet in the first place if a blogger is unable to feature it, bring more attention to it to the segment of population who would never come across this song anyway (and be perfectly okay about that)? If it is not meant for the public to be shared then, don’t put it on the internet- I make no profit out of highlighting that video and
\nmost artists thinks in the positive not the negative so obviously, it’s not the artist – but someone profiteering from keeping it from going viral (this is old stuff anyway).<\/p>\n

Can’t imagine an artist actually wasting time to be policing the internet to take down her own images – rather, she would be happy to have her youthful days video revisited – rather than be forgotten – it’s such a throwback…where J-Pop wasn’t about just artificially cute girls like dolls – here’s substance.<\/p>\n

& speaking of racial issues – it’s like a new age for this to happen in that old country – click here.<\/a><\/p>\n
