My Brother Brian went to Japan when he was with the Merchant Mariners, and unlike America, the shoreside bars had Japanese bouncers posted at the door to keep Americans and other foreigners out of "Japanese Only" Bars. My Brother was highly offended by this practice, which of course is way different from the way America works, nominally. One of the pleasures of Utada music, is "crashing" another culture, although really, Utada is bringing American styled pop music culture to Asia, I think, in some sense. I mean, it is not Kabuki plays, or No theater, you "Know" what I mean? I really like Trish Thuy Trang singing, Sukiyaki on YouTube, in part because I think of it as a small taste of Bhietnamese culture. Asian people and culture are inscrutable to me, which heightens the attention and "curiosity factor." I work with lots of Asians in my job, Asian-Americans, I should say. Well, Americans of Asian descent or heritage. Hey, has anybody else on UtadaNet enjoyed watching KevJumba on YouTube? That Asian American boy is very amusing, very funny. I like his sense of humor, and irreverant honesty. He will address any topic. He is quite a YouTube Talent. That other college kid from Singapore, I think, who plays Utada songs on both guitar and piano, is quite talented, also. The one with the bunny rabbit pets. The one I thought Utada should consider dating, post divorce, remember? What's that kid's name? RW = ULTIMAX I think R W stands for Reuben Wong. Utada Takes Her Summer Vacation in Singapore
