Haha, yup. It wasn't meant as complaint exactly, more like a well deserved ribbing. I mean, how is this not ripe for parody? I wonder if Pharrel was secretly a huge anime otaku and this is like his coming out party? Do you think he cried at the end of Azumanga Daioh and thought "Is it really a crime for a young African-American pop star to be moe? Nobody will ever understand how kawaii I really am..." That would make my day in a way.
Dude... tears... my face... salt... ;-; beautiful... (,n_n,) (T,.T) (;*_*;)

When the credits rolled I had a pleasantly surprised chuckle. It was like "Dude actually cares that there are other people working to make art. Rad." (Or his managment/production company does, at least.) I'm not even about all that too-sensitive SJW cultural appropriation biz or anything. I didn't want to give off that vibe. The world is such a cool place these days specifically because we have such free exchange of culture. For me it's more about keeping a satirical eye on musicians in the limelight (or corporations, or big media, or whoever) trying to jump on fads or trends that they don't understand to turn a quick, glib profit. It's not like I get my panties in a bunch over it or anything, but they're not getting out of it without a figurative spitwad to the back of the head.]]>
