Cant say i give a damn about watching HP stuff with others around if they dont like it or take some kind of disliking to me for it then that really is there problem. On a side note though that has never happened and infact a fair few have turned to the wonders of HP goodness.

I just don't watch Gomaki's new video, but with watching biyuuden I did think my parents might think it was a bit odd.
Generally I'm not embarrased cuz I don't watch the ero vids(like melodies and some boys touch) I don't find aisu cream to my purin as bad a the others it's fine for me, but i did pause it when my Dad came in

I don't hide my japanese fandom, i'd be surprised if someone in my class didn't know(not that i talk about it all the time, it's just my class is smallish and most have known me for 5years). Some know me for doing the dances on buses and physics lessons

!!!

Most of my firends know me for the dances too actually, thinking about it...

I'm embarrassed to listen to pop period. H!P just happens to be pop. Oddly i'm much less embarrassed of H!P than I would if I listened to say...Britney Spears or Xtina. I don't know why though.

yea japanese people tend to dislike momusu. It was funny when me and my friend were flaming a japanese person on a forum when he started badmouthing hp

being both caucasians flaming a japanese for not liking a japanese group, it was pretty funny.

another funny moment was when our japanese teacher (who is quite kawaii herself btw) found out that we like momusu. she almost instanteniously put on a "wtf" expression.

Twisted Blue · « **Reply #68 on:** November 28, 2006, 10:48:51 PM »

an even more interesting question would be, WHYtf they do not like Momusu?

Nouciel · « **Reply #69 on:** November 28, 2006, 11:05:40 PM »

Because many people associates it with aged wotas

(at least that's what 20 out of 25 friends that don't like Hello Project answered

)

Yes I do but it depends who I'm with.

I'm a guy but I can understand why you being a young girl might be embarrassed. Personally I kind of enjoy being considered "a bit strange".

An example: I love all of H!P and not long ago I had a period when I was particularly into Minimoni. I installed a few Minimoni videos on my mobile phone, and watched them during my breaks at work. I showed a couple to a work buddy, but the only reaction I got was him laughingly asking if I was feeling OK.
"Sure, I feel great!" I said or something to that effect, and proceeded to try to convince him that he would feel great too, if only he would start to appreciate the greatness of H!P. Again he just laughed, the poor bastard...

I haven't given up though - I intend to continue slowly brainwashing my co-workers until they're all as obsessed as myself, and we'll all dance the crazy wota dances in the lunch room, while listening to Mikitty or something on full blast.

I'm totally open-minded with that. I'm not embarrassed nor ashamed to watch them near other people, even though my dad has made some irritating comments, like when he actually compares L'Arc~en~Ciel to Morning Musume (a comparison that makes no sense at all), saying how much they're better than the girls.
Hell, do I even care. It's my music taste, so I never worry about people around me when it comes to that subject.
In fact, I watch Some Boys! Touch and Aisu Kuriimu to My Purin PVs in my mother's and father's front, they say nothing against it. Might it be because of the place I live? I don't know, but they're okay (my mom, especially) with it, since I've always shown my interest to japanese stuff, be it sexy, cute or not.

I'll tend to be a little embarrassed at looking at H!P things too much while other people are around, mainly it's because I don't want people to think I'm a crazy perv. Alot of it goes the same with looking at j-idols in general, as it tends to make people think you're looking at porn or even child porn >_>

Well, that pretty much is my thought too. Luckily I've got a roommate who likes Japan too so he doesn't care.

it is sorta odd that the japanese would not like MM, and associate it with being uncool...yet, it seems that there are a lot of gaijin(foreigners) that like them and we have threads on them....
why is it so shocking to love Momusu.....other people just wouldn't comprehend it....

jjkoi · « **Reply #77 on:** November 30, 2006, 07:13:33 AM »

When I was in Japan, there were heaps of people who liked MM, from a range of ages. I worked in a high school, and heaps of the students liked MM, the guys and the girls.. and some of the teachers too! So I think there are some who do like MM in Japan, or at least don't hate them!

Himalia · « **Reply #78 on:** December 17, 2006, 01:01:29 AM »

Cant say im really bothered if others see or know that im watching HP Goodness. Infact they pretty much expect it now and many of them do the same.

I don't really care if someone of my family sees me watching H!P PVs/concerts anymore. At first I felt uncomfortable and stopped when someone came in but now I only press stop to be able to listen to them if they want to talk with me ^^;
My Berryz Koubou calendar is perfectly viewable when you enter my room.. it was strange when it was new, but I got used to it now. Nobody says something about it anyway D:

Well everyone knows that I am Japanphil (

) and my sister likes H!P too and my brother is an anime freak who listens to some jpop as well. Therefore it's nothing special here.

I want to introduce my music class to jpop next year (I hopefully get in that "class".. actually course) and I am definitely going to show them a H!P song as example (of course something else too ^^; like Ayu, BoA or hikki etc.).
But I usually don't show other people that I like H!P (or jpop), but I am very reserved anyway~ so I don't show them anything at all :ONglasses:
