Embarrassed to watch H!P stuff with others around
« on: November 20, 2006, 12:39:31 AM »
Have you ever been a bit embarrassed to watch H!P stuff around others?  As a female I do.  Recently, stuff like Melodies, Some boys! touch, and Aisucreamu to My Purin have been coming out and when I try to watch it on my living room TV and my brother or my dad walks in, I feel embarrassed.  Has this ever happened to you?  [this thread is obviously more geared towards straight females but I suppose sometimes guys can feel embarrassed about it as well xD]

well my parents dont really care much if i'm watching those in my room or in the living room, well mayb because i'm a guy, but they do ask me why i'm watching young girls dancing around and stuff, but other then that it isnt much to worry about...if you like to watch it, then by all means no1 can stop you really.

@tanakachi : It's not that I'm not ALLOWED.  It's just I'm afraid of what they'll think with all those ero stuffs around.
@Shaoran :  What's so wrong with Koi no Telephone Goal?  It's weird but at least it's not sexual :3.. And my dad and brother are used to it as well, but I'm more afraid of what they're thinking/not saying @___@
@Himalia : I have never "converted" someone into H!P by playing their stuff when they're around.  Haha.  They just think I'm weird..

Forget that.  When the guys come over to LAN, I'm blasting Mini Moni & Morning Musume PVs.  They aren't into it, but they do think it's hillarious either way.  Helps to lighten any mood.  Gotta stick to your guns and not care what other people think about your musical tastes. :pimp:

It's not about the music, it's about what people think about Goto grabbing her boobs.  "This is the kind of stuff you're into!?"  o_O;

At first I was a little embarrassed just because I was watching a bunch of girls dancing around on stage. Now, I don't care. This is what I like, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. People can think and say whatever they want, they won't do shit, anyways.

Most of my family doesn't know, nor would they care, because I balance it out with Johnny's. XD

Most of my friends don't mind it much anymore. They care more for the girls than the music, though. XD

I get embarrassed not from my family but from my friends
mainly because I live in like a super white neighborhood and I'm like the only asian around here.
and the asian friends I do have, they tell me I'm so asian like it's a bad thing but I sort of have an attitude problem ( maybe because I'm from new york? ) and I tell them off like "maybe it's because I am asian"

Wow. The hypocrisy.
As if nowadays sex in music videos was rare. For some reason, I bet they wouldn't say the same thing if you were watching random clips of random American pop singers going slutty. It would just be banal.

Anyway... I've never watched any H!P stuff with people around. Ah, except the Haro Moni live of "Koi no Hana" by Nacchi, and the feedbacks i got (by my friends) were "OMG she's so pretty!!1!"
If i watched "Ne~e?" (for instance) with my family or friends around, they would think i'm weird, i have no taste and like stupid kids' stuff. :)

PVs like "Aisucream" or "Some Boys" don't embarass me at all. Come on, you see that ero stuff everytime you turn TV on. I would be hella embarassed by Mini Moni's PVs though. :lol:

Yeah, I also feel embarrassed. That's why I lock my door before I watch H!P stuff.

Wait, that sounds even more suspicious. I just can't win :-(

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 >_>

In terms of blasting the music, If I think it will disturb the other people around me, I most likely won't play it. But if I think it would be alright, why not?

I was about to write almost the same thing.

Let me ask you this: do you feel embarrassed to watch a Cristina Aguilera video? Or a Shakira video? Have you ever feel embarrassed for watching a Madonna video?
You should never feel embarrassed of your tastes. Hell, I even play the Rainbow Pink performance from the Rainbow 7 concert on my living room big screen TV, and my mother finds it amusing, my dad doesn't care, and my brother is cursing me (because now my 6 and 7 year old nieces want the song and the outfit :D :D  )

Well...I mean, I'm deffinlatly in your place Gray. And really, at first I wasn't embarassed because I never thought of H!P in anyway perverted, even when watching Some Boys! Touch because it's kinda how all music is anyway, like people are saying. But then I saw that there are people who just like it for the perverted reasons and then i felt more embarassed.

But I guess it more comes down to being honest with yourself and the people you're sharing it with. You haven't got anything to hide, you don't watch it because they're good looking, you just like the music like so many of us. It might make you feel better to show them and tell them why you like it so you don't have to worry about them making assumptions. I try to share it with people I know can appreciate the music, because that's what it is for me, and Nacchi's like an idol to me.

The thing about some boys! touch is, I feel like it's about so much more than Maki touching her boobs. I think the music is absolutly amazing, if you just sit there and listen to it on your ipod it's like a feast for the ears, all of H!P is for me. You should show people that part of H!P, or the part you particularily like yourself. (Wow, that got long XD)

For things like Melodies, Some Boys! TOUCH, or Aisu Kuriimu to My Purin, I'm not embarassed at all.  Not because I'm confident in my manliness, just that I don't find anything wrong with a guy watching it since such things are targeted at men. (although it might make a girl uncomfortable or embarassed) If you can't take pride, or let it be firmly known that this is a thing you like and there's nothing wrong with it ...then you SHOULD be embarassed.  You turn on MTV or BET and you see so much more sexuality its almost disgusting, which is one of the main reasons why H!P and JPOP are so appealing to me.

Things that are so happy-go-lucky like Mini-Moni songs are kinda embarassing, but I can still watch it with others in the room.  I even own H!P merchandise like CDs and DVDs and Posters, so its not like I hide it.

The reason why people think you might be weird (and this is to anyone), is that people nowadays have been superficial (especially in high school, where usually you're interests or the music you listen to determines your crowd or group of friends), or that they're ignorant of any other music that they don't like or not familiar with ("I listen to all music, except country, I hate country, it sucks" <-things like that).

Hrm...if there was something I'd be embarassed to watch in front of people would be a couple of Berryz or C-ute videos...I don't know, that just pushes the boundaries for me, lol

I don't know.... I have no problems with H!P PVs, TV programs, or any of their clips...
I love their music and, hell what! Thay actually ARE a bunch of super CUTE girls... And everyone love cute girls =^_^=
but... you know... sometimes when someone hears musics like Chu! Natsu Party or almost ALL of MiniMoni...
They really do the "what-is-this-insane-person-hearing" face...
now THIS face sometimes gets me embarassed ¬¬'
I needed to put al least four letters... ¬¬'
