Honestly, it felt cringier when ol' boy was jacking it to sleeping Gin.

I was a little disappointed when it turned she was just listening to pop music. With the way they were talking, I thought it'd be some DMX shit.

@TruePatriot there are some good names in there, along with some less than good names. For someone who is sheltered and still in Highschool, I wouldn't judge too harshly.

I think I would have preferred if they named fake artists instead of making dated and even outdated references to pop singers who are all garbage. I can't imagine anyone finding deep philosophical inspiration in... Ed Sheeran.

"You sure do listen to some serious stuff" is something you say to someone after you find out they listen to Ghost, or Arcturus, or fuck, even Master Boot Record or Blackbird Raum. It's not usually said in response to the most milquetoast top 10 radio hits singers like Ariana Grande or Rihanna.

In all fairness, we can say that because we're westerners and this kinda music is mainstream for us. You're overlooking the fact that she's a living in Japan which has its own charting system (Oricon). While these artists are all known internationally, they'd still be somewhat of a minority in countries like Japan and Korea which have their own thriving music industries.

Look at it this way, a lot of anime/manga fans first get exposed to anime music which ultimately leads to them getting interested in the bands/singers and most of these bands/singers are mainstream by Japan's standards. Therefore, the same way we look at Ed Sheeran & Ariana Grande as mainstream garbage, could be the same way the Japanese look at us westerners who listen to anime music.

My favourite Japanese band is UVERworld and if I'm being completely honest with ya, I barely know any of their songs that are not anime songs...

I guess that's a fair point. You're probably correct. Still seems kind of bleh either way to me though. But I understand the logic in what you say.
