You wouldn't believe how popular they are here, the first one has over 11mil views, and I see it a lot in other places ><

I'm already imagining teenage girls screaming KAWAIIII! while watching these videos in the other parts of the world.

2nd video reminds me when in movie Beowulf they did the thing - let's see how many objects we can put in front of his "little wolf" while he runs around naked.

and AKB48...well it's group that only could work in Japan. i just can't pay attention and take seriously music videos where there are so many singers, dancers and panties.

Yes. Very Kawaii (^_^)

This bubblegum pop sensation is not unique to Japan.

All that sh*t from Europe is exactly the same. S-club 7, Aqua, Spice girls, Venga boys...

[WingsToDiscovery]

I don't even question it anymore.

but do they look like they are 12 years old?
and if they don't look 12, do they look like they are trying to look like they are 12?

and is it the 12 year oldishness that everyone loves about it and calls awesome?

I wouldn't go as young as 12. To me they look 16-18. Especially in the 2nd vid.

I don't know what the appeal is. I mean obviously they're pretty women(girls?) but that's about it.
