Number 1: Seriously? Matsumoto Jun is on the top 2 spot now?
NUmber 2: That picture is so disturbing I don't know if it's because of A) the latex all over or b) the man has his hand on his crotch.

It is useful to see short term trends....essentially who are the entertainment folks/stations pushing out to the public.

I have longed wondered why they have not shown Japanese dramas in the Philippines, opting for Spanish and Mexican dramas. But I did not envision the side effect.

it also shows how the times have changed. generally the filipino-japanese relationship was strained. we have to see that the philippines was once occupied by the japanese during ww2 and it wasn't nice. i wonder how the elders are viewing this trend.
as for the mexican telenovelas, it just hit too close to home since we were colonized by the spaniards for like 300 years. inasmuch as we rebelled against them and gained our eventual independence, in those 300 years, spanish practices have seeped into the culture.

haha...a valid argument....lemme only joke by saying the mexicans didn't get a much better deal than the filipinos...but obviously you were focused on the linguistic connection.

My grandma still has memories from her childhood of the Japanese occupation.

And I can still see influences of it in their locally-produced dramas.
