10. JAPANASE POP MUSIC and STAN TWITTER with ronald

Published: Sept. 2, 2020, 2:10 p.m.

Zach and Arama Japan staffer, Japan Times journalist and general villain of JPop twitter, Ronald, talk about Japanese pop music and stan culture’s role in gay legacy. We assess the broken mechanism in which young gay men interact with pop divas and how Japanese pop music got to the point it's at now. Along the way we also go off about how Japanese men kiss (lots of tongue), homosexual shame, Mishima Yukio, dentistry, maintaining a sexual image as a female pop star, OnlyFans, the never-ending Pride debate and basically all of the drama from Jpop Twitter ever. It’s controversial!
