New Age Idols

Image Courtesy: Pixabay Let me start this off by saying that I am so, so sorry it has been over a year since I have written on here but I have a very unique story behind this that I hope you will enjoy. Over the past year, I sort of had a falling out with J-Pop. We had a very lovely relationship for over two years, we fell in love on a very lovely spring day. It was just perfect. If I had a rough day, she was always there to cheer me up if I was feeling blue and I felt like nothing would tear us apart. I even got to visit her parents on vacation every year since we first started out but I felt like I was just going through the motions every time I would visit her at home or at work. I never really felt all there. In the fall of last year, I hopped on a dating app and decided to see who else was out there. I of course hid this all from the love of my life, but it wasn't easy. I came across this profile on there and she looked really cool. She must have been really po...

Sorry that I accidentally went on a months hiatus. I began to have writers block for a while there but after taking a breather, I'm back. Today I am going to write a article about what idols mean to certain people and how they can connect not only fans of different generations but also around the world.  As a idol fan in the United States, you kind of get frowned upon and sort of shoved into a niche group of people where others think that you might be a perv for looking at idols.  You might have family members who think that you liking such things will ruin your future, may it be financially, emotionally, or even starting a relationship.  Yet to those people who enjoy idols such as myself, we work hard in order for that to not take a toll on those certain aspects of our lives. Some of us work at minimum wage or above jobs working 40+ hours a week in order to make sure we can support these groups or members we are extremely fond of . Other times we wo...

My Favorite Picture From My Trip (Senso-ji Temple) As the title suggests, I will be answering questions I have received from my personal life regarding my love for idols. Okay, I will start with the most common one I have received. - What are you listening to? This happens a lot of times at work with people who do not know me so well. I will be playing my jams and I get that question. They usually ask if it is Spanish (since I do live in the states) and my answer obviously is, no. I usually explain to them what I am listening to and get the shrug and walk away but I don't care. I have my tastes and they have theirs. - They look so young. Do you like girls that age? I am going to give you idols a compliment. You all look young, which is really great. As for myself, I don't look like my age either. The answer to the question is hard in its own right. Let's say that in the case of AKB48, some members can be quite young or Sakura Gakuin in most cases. ...
