Japanese, Korean anime are booming, not ailing
Tue, Sep 04, 2007
The Straits Times
I WRITE to correct the claims made by Odex director Peter Go in the article, 'StarHub must give names of illegal anime downloaders' (ST, Aug 14).
Quoting from the article: 'Mr Go said the South Korean anime market, once the largest after Japan, collapsed several years ago due to piracy problems. This prompted Japanese studios making anime to band together to mount the crackdown here as they were worried Singapore, although not as big a market, would end up the same way.' And 'illegal downloads, available online since the late 1990s, have cut deeply into the profits of producers and distributors'.
However, this is false.
According to the December 2006 issue of Reason magazine (twice named one of the United States' 50 Best Magazines by the Chicago Tribune): 'The global sales of Japan's animation industry reached an astonishing $80 billion in 2004, 10 times what they were a decade before. It has won this worldwide success in part because Japanese media companies paid little attention to the kinds of grassroots activities - call it piracy, unauthorised duplication and circulation, or simply file-sharing.'
These activities, claimed by Odex to be illegal and piracy, are widely known as 'fansubbing', or the distribution of Japanese anime with amateur translation and subtitling by fans. They have proven to be a free and far-reaching source of promotion by exposing people to anime, which would have been costly and risky if done by commercial distributors.
A great example is The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi, which shot to worldwide popularity due to fansubs. It is reasonable to say that fansubs have contributed to the continuous and massive growth of the Japanese animation industry.
The Korean animation industry is also very much alive. According to recent articles this year by PRZoom and ee-
ProductCenter, the 'South Korean animation industry is the third largest behind the US and Japan' and 'it accounts for 30 per cent of the total output in the global animation market'. The sheer size of the Korean animation industry shows it is far from collapse. -

Fatum's new theme song
Body...wanna feel my body?
Body...such a thrill my body
Body...wanna touch my body?
Body...it's too much my body
Check it out my body, body.
Don't you doubt my body, body.
talkin' bout my body, body,
check it out my body
Every man wants to be a macho macho man
to have the kind of body, always in demand
Jogging in the mornings, go man go
works out in the health spa, muscles glow
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
ready to get down with, anyone he can
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! Ow....
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be a macho!
Body, its so hot, my body,
Body, love to pop my body,
Body, love to please my body,
Body, don't you tease my body,
Body, you'll adore my body,
Body, come explore my body,
Body, made by God, my body,
Body, it's so good, my body
You can tell a macho, he has a funky walk
his western shirts and leather, always look so boss
Funky with his body, he's a king
call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
likes to be the leader, he never dresses grand
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (all right)
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! All Right!
Ugh! Macho..baby!
Body, body, body wanna feel my body,
Body, body, body gonna thrill my body,
Body, body, body don'tcha stop my body,
Body, body, body it's so hot my body,
Every man ought to be a macho macho man,
To live a life of freedom, machos make a stand,
Have their own life style and ideals,
Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal,
You can best believe that he's a macho man
He's a special person in anybody's land.
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)

Macho, macho man (dig my muscles!)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man

The first gender to go extinct will prove the winner the stronger one and naturally the male will dominate.
Alright,so it's inevitable both gender will go extinct but why should i pugue myself with such thoughts.
To an idealist,the subjects are the chess pieces and sacrifices should not matter as long as they produce...results.[/quote] -
Anyway, the NSF goes AWOL with live ammo and weapon incident is another reminder why its a bad idea to post too much stuff about yourself online.
The HWZ jokers dug up his photos and his ex-girlfriend's blog and posted them all over the place. -
I think Boka is a frustrated nerd who has been rejected by every girl he's gone after? -_-"
Usually the ones who keep saying they hate women are liddat. -

Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?
In number 69 there lives a transvestite
HeÂ’s a man by day but heÂ’s a woman at night
ThereÂ’s a man in number 4 who swears heÂ’s Saddam Hussein
Says heÂ’s on the chart to start a third world war
Ohhhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
At a hundred and ten they havenÂ’t paid the rent
So there goes the T.V. with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty ‘cause they’re all doing time
Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
Who lives in a house like this ?

In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
HeÂ’s bigger than Tyson and heÂ’s twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mister Miller
HeÂ’s our local vicar and a serial killer
Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
Who lives in a house like a this ? (Who lives here man?)
Who lives in a house like this ?
They want to knock us down ‘cause they think we’re scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know itÂ’s hard to survive
So you’d better come prepared ‘cause they won’t take us alive
Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood -
