Sometimes commas in Japanese mean "ellipsis". Sometime only two of the Japanese style like 、、 sometimes three, four, five haha

The west introduced much of nowadays punctuation used in Japan, and although there are specific rules to use them (believe me, part of my semester here I spent studying/analyzing the use of punctuation in Japanese texts lol), the use of comma is rather optional and..... Very open haha there are times when they are needed, yes. But there are many many times they are there just because lol this apply to ellipsis, especially in a context of internet/blogging (and Koda's lyrics lol)
