This
is a TV ad for Saitama prefecture's environmental protection campaign, it is kind
of Surrealist.
I read that the first
commercial complex dedicated to J-pop in the United
States opened on Saturday in Japan
Town, San Francisco, drawing a long line of young
people crazy about Japanese music, fashion and animation.
Brian sent me this interesting article; Western people can't read the emotion
of an Eastern person’s face (I understand this very well, especially since Japanese
people try not to show emotions). But this article said that Easterners can't read
Westerners’ emotions from their face either. Hmm… really? Even though we see so
many Hollywood movies? Now I am wondering if
you can read the emotions of Japanese
emoticons. Is it hard
for you?
The environment advert is a good idea but it goes on about twice as long as it needs to.

I think it varies from person to person.
I have a caucasian friend who can be called emotionless if you just go by her face. Even her family can't figure out her feelings.

Interesting commercial. We had a very similar one in Sweden, but for the Baltic sea.

You can say from the article that if it's "cultural", then it can be learned. I guess Easterners and Westerners should see more movies! ^_^ :)
