Family's opinions on H!P?
« Reply #40 on: January 11, 2007, 02:49:11 AM »
My parents don't care period. They have nothing against it, they just don't care.

My eldest brother, Travis, is a musician and he isn't really into jpop. He likes Ayaya's From That Sky and Heike's Daikirai, though.

My second eldest brother, Jon, is fun to tease when it comes to the girls' ages. I got him to listen to Maimai's Yeah Meccha Holiday HPH perf, and when I told him she was only 10 he was like "WHAT"

My second youngest brother, Leslie, used to be into H!P but he isn't so much anymore. He used to like Minimoni, but kinda grew out of it.

My youngest brother, Clinton, rather likes Aichan. Other than that, he's not really into it.

My younger sister, Kristin, doesn't like them but she doesn't hate them either.

Yes, I do have a big family.

my brother who was still living with us at that time (upon seeing shabondama, and as for one day videos)

he thought i was weird because "the girl had a broken eye" (Risa's Close up in Shabondama), and "the girl with crooked eye" (close up of Mari in As For One Day)  lol.

the only thing we agreed on, Kaori is pretty XD

Maasa! :P

My family sometimes teases me about this periodically, but they really don't mind much.  they have nothing against it.  I always know that i'm into alot of japanese stuff in general, not just jpop.  

let me just say this first, it's important in my story.  not only am i a big japanophile fan, but most of the east asian entertainment industry(music, movies, films and series) as well, just like hong kong, china, taiwan, korea, and last but not least japan.

i actually grew up watching many chinese films and series with my family. aside from that i started picking up on the japanese entertainment, it begins with anime.  ever since i can remember, i been loving, almost obsessing(...almost) over japanese stuff. it started with the anime that they showed on tv here.  i saw that it was different from the regular american cartoons, from the art style, character design, storylines and especially the music, that how i started with my jpop interests, same with the video games.

anyway, when watching both the chinese films and series and the japanese anime.  i mostly listen to the theme songs at first.  after realizing how much i like those, i begins to search to see who sings the song and what other song do they have.  it eventually lead me to H!P, starting from my interests in themesongs and its artists to general artist to H!P and that's how i became a fan.

While now i am mostly a J-fan rite now, i still watches chinese films with family and my family is a major chinese fan.  and my family kinds of picks on me since i'm almost the only one in the family that is interested in jpop.

almost everyone in my family makes fun of me being a fan of H!P, but they really just teasing and don't really care much. sometimes i annoy them with facts and news about H!P. i always tease my mother and sister of being obsessed with chinese stars, guess this is just payback.  

the funniest one is my dad.  he saw some of the girls photos and pvs and he says their cute.  and always tell me to go to japan and marry one of them. sometimes pointing to the girls and saying "she probably make a good daughter-in-law..." and such.

Since i'm a huge j-fan, my family always tell me to go to japan and find a prety japanese girls.  and that what i mainly love is the girls and nothing else.  Although they are cute, i told them that i'm just a j-fan in general, from the entertainment industry to the technology and the beautiful culture of japan.  Everyone knows that Japan is the motherland of anime and manga, with super high-tech goods with the wonderful car culture and the beautiful history and culture. the girls are just one of my many j-interests.

although these are all true in my opinions, i sometimes think that it is just my excuse i use on my family, sometimes i'm in denial. kind of embarassing to tell them that i like just the girls, even when i know it's not true.  but nowadays i don't care much anymore, guess i'm more confident of myself and don't what others think of me.

guess that's it for now...sorry if i'm babbling on and on and on....and on.
anyway thanks for reading.  btw my favorite H!P girls is yossi, eririn, mikitty, risa, ..........

My parents know that I love Japanese stuff, but they're not interested.

Well, my dad and brother hate it.

My brother's like (exact quote)"Stop listening to that chink music"

Dad: "Can't you like american music like everyone else?"

My dad's girlfriend is proud of me for going against the grain, and my mom supports me about it, but she herself doesn't like it that much (there is some she likes, some Melon)

My younger cousins don't like it as much, but my older cousins are alright with it.

And me, I don't care about the hate with it. I just come up with plenty of snappy comebacks to back myself.

My wife likes MM's music alright, except when they sing "like kids". A little too high pitched for her tastes.

She does like a smattering of songs but really dug Berryz Koubou's Piriri to Yukou! and Biyuden's Kacchoiize Japan!. She'll try to sing along to those.  ;D

Both of my parents love Ayaya's voice. Because I keep forcing them to listen to Ayaya's songs whenever we're in our car lol (usually my dad hates Asian music, including my country's music). But my mom is fan of Ayaya & Mini Moni! She keep saying Ayaya is really cute and Mini Moni is really funny.

My sis loves Gocchin! and we love to watch utaban/hey3x/mbhtv or other funny variety shows together. She likes to humming "watarasebashi" whenever I'm listening to the song.

For some reason, my brother (who's nine) likes Memory ~Seishun no Hikari~. Wtf, mate?

I know that Memory is an awesome song, but I didn't think that he'd like it XD.


Oh and my mom also likes oldschool Momusu which makes her awesome :D

My family don't really care about H!P. At least they know I'm a straight guy.  ;)

I used to have 4 little converted MM fans awhile back. They were my nieces and nephews. They lost interest when MM's songs and videos were starting to target just the Wotas.  :-[

The only one who was particulary interested is my older sister who already has a daughter, she likes those old funny videos.

For my mom, I can't let her see I'm saving a lot of girls pictures or she'll think I'm a gay and drag me to a psychologist. :lol:

As I'm at university my family don't really get exposed to it, but it's not great response from what they have heard. My eldest brother doesn't seem to mind them as he doesn't rip into them like he does most other bands he doesn't like, except the odd song, I think he holds a grudge against Tanpopo for some reason...My other brother (still older than me) hasn't heard them at all but I don't think he'd like 'em very much at all.

My dad hates them, plain as...really not his thing. My mum seems to be able to put up with 'em and even hums along sometimes but she's said they start to annoy her after a bit, which I can understand, I don't agree, but I understand. She hates Minimoni though...I found it quite funny though that both my mum and dad love Rock 'n' Roll Kenchoushozaichi.

Oh yeah, and my mum thought Okamuland was hilarious.

They know about them, but i'm really careful with the Photobooks, GAM & Biyuuden PVs because we all know how pornographic are they (joke XD). When i was wathcing the 10th Anniversay and Otome Gokoro i was scared when Goto and Biyuuden were going to appear XD

Ummm...when Thanks! was out i saw it about 5 times, one of those times my dad told me "They look like whores" and i said "Have you ever seen one?" XD I don't see bikini shots when my mom is close to me or soemthing...but hell yeah, they know about them and my sister hates everything related to idols XD

My family doesn't really know about H!P. My mom saw a picture of Maimi and thought she was pretty and she also saw a picture of Eri and thought she was 30-years-old. That's pretty much it. =P

My mom doesn't mind it at all. She likes it alot more than my other music tastes. My dad doesn't seem to mind either. He did onetime say though "it's torture to constantly watch someone you can't have". But that's the only time he's ever said anything negative. He was right to an extent anyway.

My nephews think Japanese music is weird. They only listen to American pop and rap. They don't like foreign music.
