however, i'm more likely to support someone i find attractive. most of the albums, singles, photobooks, ect. that i own are pretty korean boybands.. and koda kumi. i'll buy albums of my favorites who need the sales regardless of what they look like, i'm not that shallow, but most things i buy because i think the cover is pretty, the booklet is pretty.. and i don't even need to explain photobooks, i'm sure.

let's just shake hands dammit

ouch that's horrible

too bad in a way she gave into pressure cos I'm sure she was pretty good looking prior to that stupid comment avex made on her

the record companies think looks matter. and looks do attract the attention of people. even if the artist is "ugly", the company will hire tons of makeup artists to beautify the singers, plus tons of photoshoppin...
