codystrum has written a very interesting comment about the cultural contexts of the Japanese entertainment I was metioning in this post. He lived in Tokyo for three years and was very affected by his time there. I love the songs that period inspired in him. It would be great if you all got to hear them some time. Maybe when I have my new web-hosting set up, I'll put them online with his kind permission.

Now I understand what karenkay was referring to when she mentioned "the nail that stands up gets beat down".

I hope that you have a nice birthday. :0)

Wow, thanks. You're very observant. Hot icon, dear. Birthday post follows if I have time. I hope I do.

You're most welcome. And thanks for the compliment on the icon. (My newest facial-hair variation emerged as the result of a beard-trimming accident!)

hey TTL Happy Birthday belated (gomen nassai - very sorry)

Thanks very much for the good word. Yes, Japan inspired me incredibly. Still does.

I myself do have a website called Cody Radio, which I recently moved to paid status in order to put up 50Mb worth of tunes, which has one of those tunes called Hikikomori on it. I can adverstise the link here if you wish.

More to be posted soon as I rerecord them, or repost the decent records I may have of CulDeSac, Polluted, and Siguro. I don't know of any others from that period actually....But if you want to put a couple up on your site as well, I'd be more than honoured.

Hugs,
Cody
