Aside from what I've already budgeted for food, shelter, and emergency, I plan on spending $50-$60 in the Dealer's Room and Artist's Alley.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about BoA's debut in America. She's not a bad singer, but I just don't think she'll be able to make it in the US market.
I agree with you....Jay Chou really is something special.... I havent picked up any of his albums yet though...would you have any good suggestions of which album to pick up first?Jay luckily has a best album, so I would start with that. It's from a few years back, so nothing recent on it, but it has my favorite song on it, "Qilixiang" (Silk Jasmine). I could listen to this song all day. Jay plays many instruments (piano, cello, guitar, shamisen, violin, drums) and raps as well as sings ballads. There are few singers in Asia who are this versatile.

I've never seen any punishment for scandals.. I think scandals are just for show^^; it's a marketing ploy x:
This is definitely NOT the case in Japan. In Japan, there definitely is punishment for scandals. Agencies are constantly kicking out artists for scandals. As soon as someone is busted for drugs, they need to be taken out of a group in order to regain the trust of the public. L'arc en Ciel even kicked out their original drummer for his drug scandal. Two members were kicked out of NewS for underaged drinking. Psycho Le Cemu broke up due to their vocal's arrest. In Japan, scandal usually means a HUGE drop in sales. When the news broke regarding Kamenashi Kazuya dating Kyoko Izumi, who is 20 years his senior, the ratings of his tv show TANKED. AKB48 just kicked out a member because a picture showing her with her boyfriend leaked onto public sites. Scandals are definitely not a marketing ploy in Japan. People take them rather seriously, and they cause negative consequences (sometimes even destroying careers).

So I'm trying to keep this thread alive!
What do you all think about Home Made Kazoku
http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/...o-rainbow_music
They are listed as a hip-hop trio which is true, but technically so is BigBang and as they are three men(one of the many requirements for boy bands) I thought, why not talk about them here.

LOL, cute comics!

There's a lot of controversy that China has bribed the Olympic committee since they conveniently keep winning the gold during all the ties.

2. Watching the members of The Daizystrippers get their hair and make up done (I am a cosmetics/beauty nut, so this was awesome)

I'm really sad I missed the Sunday musical guests Q&A panel. Does anybody know what questions were asked? And what their replies were?
The translator asked a lot of basic questions and showed some PVs for each group, then fans asked questions like "Boxers or briefs?", "What'd you do on the plane ride over?" etc...
I have to say, I had never heard of any of the bands before, but their answers were somewhat bizarre, yet amusing. And I think someone recorded the panel too so google around for it.

I work every year in the Artist Alley at various cons. Sometimes I'll get nightmares about not having any stuff ready in time for the con.
