Ouch! Stuck in the ear by Ayaya's microphone
Yes, but when Ayaya is doing the sticking, just wince and enjoy it as Rad is doing here, circa Jan. 27, 2008. The optical illusion makes it seem that Rad's left eardrum is being penetrated, but in reality Ayaya is about 30 feet away (hey, that's close enough to notice the perfume). Note also that in the header for this blog, our group is at the far left, to the right of the last "p" in "J-Pop." In the meantime, major cultural shifts in music and dance are occurring as a result of Japanese idol music, as evidenced in these reports:

They can be found on sister blog Radreview. Remember: Forces are aligned out there to prevent many of us from accessing and enjoying this kind of unique, sensational entertainment, so the struggle continues to be one of consumer bias -- and affordability.
This is Rad signing off -- for now.
