I am looking to purchase this album from someone. It's a Sailor Moon S Film Collection Album that's made by Amada and has 20 pages to hold trading cards. The shipping would be to Canada and I'd like to pay for the cheapest shipping costs. I'd like to see a picture of the album if applicable. Thanks for any help. :)

G-Dragon "Summoned by the Prosecution", No Freedom of Expression for Musicians?

There are many controversies over G-Dragon's performance that was marked as an offense for an immoral performance and also said that it infringed the youth protection laws. We have to recognize that the core of this controversy is the freedom of a creator and that we cannot overlook the freedom of the audience who has the right to enjoy a creator's expressions and results.

This controversy this time is very ambiguous. What is the standard for obscenity? Is it when someone feels sexually harassed or is it when someone thinks that it is simply too erotic? But it’s not like the police could just pick a random person that was at G-Dragon’s concert and ask "Was that too obscene for you?"

There is no set standard for something that is erotic or for something that is obscene and this controversy is equivocal. Also, performers were not naked that made the audience feel like they were watching an 18A performance. Then was the performance obscene because it was about sex? Our society that corners sex as obscene is more abnormal.

Saying that there is a problem with a performance that makes one think about sex is a problem itself since that could mean sex=immoral. Well it’s a whole different problem if G-Dragon's performance was too explicit; however, his performance was short and people had various opinions about it.

The start of this controversy and tragedy was the opinion differences between the audience and the public that was saying G-Dragon's performance was immoral. This eventually led more than 1000 of the audiences that were at G-dragon's concert to turn in a petition to the prosecution.

These people turned in a petition saying "For the obscene performance crime the audience has to agree with the fact that the performance was obscene and over the line; however, G-Dragon's concert was not obscene at all and it did not sexually harass us in any way." Also, these people said the performance as a whole cannot be judged by the short moment.

The more important thing is the freedom of creation. A society that threatens the freedom of creation for musicians makes a society where there is no cultural variety. If G-Dragon's two-hour-long concert is valid as obscenity because of the momentary performance during it, then this is invading the freedom and the rights of a creator.

SNSD's Yuri (given name Kwon Yuri) became a freshman of Chung-Ang Universities class of 2010. (*note in Korea, "Class of _____" is determined by the year that you enter University)

Newsen posted on the 6th of January "Yuri has decided to enter Chung-Ang University".

Yuri passed Chung-Ang University's first advanced entrance exam for the entertainment arts program for the school year of 2010, and also Dong-Guk Universitie's early entrance exam as well. Yuri chose to become a member of Chung-Ang University, which made her an alumni of SNSD member Sooyoung.

The other SNSD member that will be going to University this year, maknae Seohyun, chose to enter Dong-Guk University for the Entertainment Arts Program.

Here's another Yamajima from me :)

After Child(ren) of Empire made a name change to ZE:A (acronym of 제국의 아이들, ‘Children of Empire’ in Korean), fans of the Brown Eyed Girls have been protesting that the name is too similar to their fellow group member, Jea.

Well, it seems like the hard work of protesting worked, because ZE:A’s agency Star Empire Entertainment officially stated that ZE:A will NOT be pronounced Je-Ah, but fully “Jaeguk eh Ah-e-deul” (‘Children of Empire’) in Korean.

"[ZE:A] just took their first step in their debut, and we thought that it wasn’t appropriate to have conflicts unrelated to music affecting the group. We have come to this decision because we respect the opinion of Brown Eyed Girls’ fans."

Since this is just a pronounciation issue, it’s believed that this group will continue under the name “ZE:A” in text.

After partnering up with Warner Music Chinese Mandarin Group as well as Sony Music, ZE:A recently released their first album Nativity as well as a MV for their song, Mazeltov. ZE:A is now scheduled to have a showcase on the 13th and meet up with fans.

I think Star Empire Entertainment made the right decision – I mean come on, do we really want some big conflict over a name? I don’t think so.
