Perhaps I can help stem the tide by providing Juri-chan videos :mrgreen:

I guess it's no surprise with the results so far. I would guess forums like this and D-Addicts cater to the younger crowd, which can't seem to get enough of the boyband, JE material.

Agreed. I couldn't code squat. I can color code my coloring book with various crayons...that about it.


That's befittiing for a chav. :hehe:

I'm not too bothered about the videos personally. I just scroll past 'em. Although, right now there's a massive advert in the midst of them, which is bothering me.
I'm on the main computer, where my bf insists we keep an old version of Mozilla (he likes a web building tool it has, or something). It doesn't have adblock. *sniiiiiiffffff* :puppydog:

Ok, I just spotted Arashi - Love So Sweet on the videos, and that does bother me. I'm sure I've seen like 5 seconds of that video in the past, and I almost puked my guts out. :sweat:

:rofl: I think I posted a link - but it was meant to be ironic :mrgreen:

We could counterattack though and post lots of cool videos - like the train video from yesterday :mrgreen:

Yeah, it's not a big deal actually. I'm just sharing my opinion but I agree with you that's just the demographic these days. As Anime Dad mentioned, one only need observe that most dramas these days have actors that all come out of JE groups.

I can delete the vids submitted. :hehe:

But I must play by the rules.

I think we'll see a lot of fanish stuff. For a moment there were loads of Toma vids... :sweat:

I thought about adding a bunch of Manami's CMs, but I'd rather keep her to myself. :P

I wanted to post a little clip I just entered on my website about the loss of a personal hero:

Sure, usually my website is a place rife with clever political jabs and genius satire (I wish) but today I have a sad announcement.

A personal hero of mine, Don LaFontaine died Tuesday, September 2st. Described as arrogant, haughty, and dreadfully expensive, everyone on the planet knows Don LaFontaine, or at least know how he sounds.

Who is Don LaFontaine, you may ask? Think to yourself in a deep, resonant, booming voice: "In a world...". If you've ever seen a movie trailer, chances are, it was the late Mr. LaFontaine who performed the voice acting for the narration. Even though most people don't know his name or his face, Mr. LaFontaine was routinely paid tens of thousands or more to do a couple minutes of recording. Even though he has recorded more than 5,000 trailers, his voice is rarely heard once a movie reaches the screen, thus resulting in his likely disappearance from the annals of acting history within a few years as very few people watch or archive old trailers (not even me!!).

I obviously have a personal connection to Mr. LaFontaine that extends beyond his public face. 'In a world' where wonderfully talented voice actors are routinely ignored, they've always been something special for me. Sound and audio are extremely important to me, as many of you know, and the ability of a talented actor to portray his emotions through voice alone is a wonderful talent. Most of my heroes and favorite actors are just as good off the screen as they are on. Perhaps as a testament for my appreciation for the art, I have, for the last 5 years now, had a recording of Mr. LaFontaine's promotional tape on my computer, in a folder on my desktop.

Mr. LaFontaine, you will be missed more than anyone realizes. There are likely only 5 people on this earth (nope, none of you clowns) who would get such a special personal tribute here. I won't forget you, Don... or at least not your boomy, brassy baritone.

Here's a little clip about his work:

In a world where uber-awesome voice actor guy is no longer around...

:puppydog:

We had become so used to his voice that it'll be strange to hear someone else's during movie trailers, or Geico commercials.

this is true, that guy's voice is infamous!
