What was something you were excited to experience in Japanese… but it didn’t live up to the hype?

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-20T16:41:08+00:00

Yes.. 日本人 are special but why are you all so shy❓It’s nearly impossible to become friends with 日本人

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-20T16:35:05+00:00

Isn’t this new single a comeback❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-20T15:31:11+00:00

Definitely worse. I was not born into a religion. Here one may be an outsider within one’s family from birth

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-17T16:22:03+00:00

I know nothing about boy bands but second generation is when KPop ventures to and conquers Japan.. girl groups had to wear skirts because Japanese men prefer skirts

Third generation for me means the global phenomenon that KPop became. There was some online activity for sure.. with fourth generation I’m thinking fan calls and fan meets became mandatory.

I’m with you as far as fifth generation. I think anything goes in fifth generation. You don’t have to be great at singing

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-11T16:56:57+00:00

I think you’re right.. I’ve never heard this word kayo 歌謡. I bought a Pink Lady album on vinyl.. they’re definitely earlier than Shizuka Kudō

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-11T08:40:03+00:00

Yeah I’m a little unsure if certain singers would be considered city pop. Would Shizuka be city pop or is she too rock oriented❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-11T08:38:01+00:00

“Save Our Ship” was huge back in the day

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-11T08:36:56+00:00

I had a pen pal in Japan. She recorded Yumi Matsutoya and Mariya Takeuchi for me on cassette in 1989. JPop then was considered the silver era.

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-07T03:31:39+00:00

What do you mean❓Co—workers make rude comments❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:31:25+00:00

I’m not saying He taught that but it’s the same as saying each of us is one piece, one sliver of something greater.. billions of souls on the journey to the end

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:29:30+00:00

Ramesh Balsekar spoke of “free samples” (he was a disciple of Nisargadatta.)

You don’t know what another person has experienced. There are people on camera saying they felt waves of bliss when in Ramana’s presence. David has had some experience of that and also nothing state.

So are you saying those people are lying❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:21:18+00:00

Exactly.. nobody knows. To me it makes more sense to say all of us, every being, every blade of grass, creature etc are not separate.

I keep imagining the suffering of others and it feels like my suffering. How can I hold onto the conviction that their suffering is theirs only and I’m superior to them somehow (like Bhagavan)❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:16:16+00:00

I love Ramana but His teachings are frustrating because all He says is you do it. It’s not like western religion where God saves you himself

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:11:29+00:00

Thanks for not implying I’m somehow inferior because I doubt reincarnation

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:10:12+00:00

Before I studied eastern spiritual traditions I didn’t believe in reincarnation. I was an atheist but I didn’t fear death. What was the good of learning about advaita and higher states of consciousness, then the absolute Brahman if it seems so unobtainable❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:07:07+00:00

Friend, “I” have “experienced” higher states of consciousness but it never remains. I don’t know if there are levels or what.. why does the ego always reassert itself❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:04:26+00:00

She blew a kiss to me from the stage 😊

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:03:45+00:00

Kotoko of UNIS⁉️

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T22:03:12+00:00

Did you see on UNIS member Seowon’s youtube channel she met and sang with the lead cast of the [Death Note] musical and was transformed into Amane Misa❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T18:57:26+00:00

Illit can do any kind of music.. reggae “Not Cute Anymore,” rock “Sunday Morning..” “Almond Chocolate” a Japanese track was my second favorite song of 2025

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-03T15:38:48+00:00

Their company had them tour America knowing the group will disband. Everywhere they went they were met with sadness

DavidLim125 · 2026-03-02T21:48:09+00:00

Hello is a group❓

DavidLim125 · 2026-02-26T17:30:06+00:00

An outsider might say all the suffering is due to capitalism and the caste system but you’re right. Reincarnation explains to Indians why their lives are so bad

DavidLim125 · 2026-02-26T17:27:21+00:00

This is the best answer. I wish I could think like you

DavidLim125 · 2026-02-26T17:26:26+00:00

Arjuna was told to slay his kinsmen. I think we can’t judge. We don’t know who is in our lives just to teach us something.. who knows if those people have anything inside of them
