^ i think if Jin wants to pursue a career out here, oh boy, i will be his biggest critic. i think going to "You & Jin" made me realize how really different the Japanese & American music scenes are in real life. i think its fine the way he's doing it as a Japanese person coming here to perform in front of fans, but if he wants to legit break into the US market, i'm pretty positive he won't make it. i too, would want Jin to use Japanese more. i mean, i give him a whole lot of credit for using English, but he communicates a point so much better in Japanese.
i'm totally for East Asian presence in the US market, but they would have to realize the theatrics and the show-off idol thing will just not work here. you can have a style, but it has to be something original or innovative AND it will have to connect with a large base. (which is also why i don't think K-Pop artists will ever make it big here!)
& LOL. yeah, there are time where i'm just like, "KOKI SING/RAP IN JAPANESE, PLEASE!!" but since he's targeting the Japanese base & they really don't understand English well....so, i let it slide a bit.
