^I always thought she didn't chart because her music genre wasn't popular anymore. But people still hate GALs?

Well sifow would say that one of the reasons why she created her company was because she realised that people had a bad image of her. I'm not exactly an expert into this but I do believe the general consensus is that gals are superficial girls who drop out of school and some become escorts, etc. Anyway the genre also is outdated in Japan so that also isn't helpful.

I'm not an expert me too but from everything I read this is what I know

gyarus have a bad reputation
even if now they are different
the fact is that when it started, some gyarus where doing escort, prostitution..things like that to buy clothes etc..
even if it was a minority of gyarus, people thought that they were all like that
they don't go to really go to school
they want to have fun in life, and people think that they are superficial


even if today gyarus totally changed the reputation is still there, following them
and this is why Sifow started Gal Revolution, to make realise people that gyarus aren't what they think now

Right, gyaru is a subculture seen in general as in conflict with traditional Japanese mores because gyaru don't necessarily want to go to college, get a job and then become a normal housewife.

Unless there's some kind of GAL popularity comeback, sifow isn't going to chart anytime soon.

Where's Love Shine when you need her? D:

But its good to see that sifow is surprising many business men and women by becoming a smart, VERY successful person and is a person of the Gyaru style. I bet she pwns heaps of those business men in conferences and they are like "Damn..that hot chick is right... work that mini skirt!!"
I love it hoe sifow was proving her peers wrong since high school by graduating from school, never skipping a day etc.

She should make an English edition of her GAL REVOLUTION book.

i admire for sifow becoming basically a self made millionaire by the young age of 21. She made about $750 000.000 or something in profit the first financial year of REVROSSA CLARITY's opening. I wish i was one of those little kiddies in China making sifow's clothes :(

lmao

^How do you know she's a millionare David? xD I don't think she proclaims it to the world

Kaiouforever 13th January 2008 10:42 AM

Okay so..I just listened to Love Spell all the way through.

AND I FRIGGIN LOVE IT!

I liked Clarity, but I felt some of the tracks were kinda just filler crap, whereas with Love Spell I love almost every single track (almost all tracks on iTunes have 4/5 stars or more, whereas with Clarity some have 2-3 stars).

I don't feel like giving a detailed review right now, but I just basically wanted to say I think Love Spell is definitely a lot better and it shows growth in sifow, and makes me excited for a new single.

Meat Pao 13th January 2008 12:38 PM

I didn't like CLARITY either. But i loved & YOU REVOLUTION xD

making money off retailing fashion is very profitable in Japan. that's why everyone & their mama has chlothing/fashion lines for sale in Japan.

I know atleast Ayu, hitomi & sifow have clothing/fashion/whatever lines.

I know these days plenty of celebs in the west have their own clothing lines & parfumes, but the trend definitely started in Japan.

criminal 13th January 2008 05:12 PM

Ayumi? I thought MTRLG was just something Ayumi promoted/designed some outfits for, but not her's.

minna 13th January 2008 06:15 PM

no no it's her clothes brand
but I didn't know Hitomi has one too!

Halla 13th January 2008 07:33 PM

^ btw I'm referring to the all lower case hitomi , aka Hitomi Furuya.
I don't know which hitomi you mean, there are just so many hitomis around :P

hitomi had a tour which was a part fashion show & part music.

"designing" for most celebs is just picking out what they like from designs made by real designers, instead of designing from scratch themselves ...
