Morning Musume watches the Ring
Saw this link on Boing Boing.
Morning Musume was really popular when Holly was teaching in Japan in 2003. When I visited her, I ran across Morning Musume trading cards at anime and manga stores (most notably at Gamers in Akihabara), saw their show on television, and heard them on the radio. They were everywhere. 😛 Anyway, they’re one of Japan’s marketing-created Idol groups.
Here they are watching the Ring.
