AINORI, HEADACHE LOVE



Although I only speak about 10 words of Japanese I think I can understand 70 % of the show. The feelings of love, hate, jealousy, envy are so universal; you can see it clearly on the faces of these young people; no translation needed. Its a great show, and it never fails to move me to tears when their heart is broken. There is just something inherently charming about the show which I don't think can be duplicated in the States. The Japanese 20-somethings seem to still possess a sense of purity and idealism that is absent in American shows (which are dominated by exhibitionism and sexual one-upsmanship.) Oh, well, maybe it is all just nostalgia in my dotage.
Ok, thats it for now, hope everyone out there had a productive month of August; see you all in September.
Kemble, Mimi, and Laika
