comics Comics are very popular in Japan. Middle-aged men sit reading comic books on rush-hour trains without feeling embarrassed. While in the West mainstream comics are almost entirely for children, in Japan there are many types of comics that suit different groups of people.Cartoon is also popular in Japan. It seems that no Japanese company is without a cartoon “image” character, no high school girl is without her stuffed toys: warning sign show cute baby rabbits; train ticket machines in railway stations have cartoon animal smiling and thanking you for buying a ticket.For devoted fans, there are many comic cafes where you can stay for 24 hours a day, buried in the kingdom of comics.

现在广告太多,请问该怎么办?
【分享】我家的配车有多加了一辆 我家又多了一辆车，是专门送我上学用的。我认为这辆车子很漂亮，所以发一张照片给大家看看，分享一下。我以前的配车是北京现代的越野车，但现在觉得开起来上学放学并不实用，因为体积太大，而且并不是很舒服。这款车有很多种颜色，中国蓝色很漂亮，红色也不错，而且也不贵，人民币只有50多万。我的司机也换了，Tony要做真正意义上的大管家了，所以换了司机，一时还真有些不适应。还有一件好消息，是关于我的好消息，我把我们学校的舞王斗下去了，这是星期三的事情了。我最不喜欢别人瞧不起我，这次是给那小子的教训。

The band wasted no time and headed back into the studio with Serletic to record their debut album, Yourself Or Someone Like You.

MARIAH CAREY'S DOGGY BATH Mariah Carey has revealed her dog shares her bath. The sexy singer says her pampered pooch, Jack, always jumps in when she's running a bath. She admitted: "If I'm running a bath all of a sudden I'll hear a splash and Jack will have jumped into the tub. It's something that has been happening for ages - it's like, 'It's like Jack is in the tub again, swimming around.'" She is quoted by Scotland's Daily Record newspaper as saying: "His favourite toy is a jet - like the ones you find in pools and hot-tubs. He continually dives under the water and tries to bite the water coming out of the jets." Earlier this year, Mariah revealed she logs on to her pet's website every day Jack has become so famous in his own right the diva's Japanese fans have built a site dedicated solely to him Mariah is so fascinated with the website she regularly checks in to the news pages, entitled The Emancipation of Jack, after her chart-topping album, The Emancipation of Mimi, and the doggy-obsessed message board. The beautiful star said: "I laughed out loud for 10 minutes when I found out about Jack's website. He really is a very cool dog. Some of his Japanese fans built it for him. It talks all about him - even his swimming antics."

【推荐】Matchbox20 More than you think you are(转) 很难想象我最喜欢的摇滚乐队居然很少有人知道？曾经第一张专辑的销量就超过了1000万张的Matchbox20,怎么会只有这么点人知道？难道没有人懂音乐吗？我喜欢Matchbox20的时间比喜欢后街男孩的时间还长，从我8岁时就开始听Matchbox20的歌曲，他们的音乐一直深深地打动着我，我的乐队也不止一次地翻唱过他们的歌曲。我希望能有更多的人喜欢上Matchbox20，喜欢上他们的音乐，虽然现在Matchbox20的主唱Rob Thomas单飞，但我相信Rob和他的乐队会回馈给歌迷第4张专辑的。如果你们不相信Matchbox20的歌曲的话，你们可以看看Matchbox20的主唱单飞后的专辑，上市第一个星期就拿到了Top1,这足以证明Matchbox20和Matchbox20的主唱Rob Thomas的实力。还等什么，快去听听吧！请大家到下面的网址听一听Matchbox20的音乐，听完后请到Matchbox20把发言。www.matchboxtwenty.com/music关于Matchbox20的2003年的专辑：Matchbox20的主音罗伯•托马斯(Rob Thomas)是公认的“少女杀手”。但Matchbox20的杀伤力可不只有这么简单。在罗伯•托马斯蓝色的眼睛背后，潜藏着乐队无尽的活力。1996年出道即扛起“后Grunge”音乐大旗的Matchbox20，在传承Grunge的精神血脉的同时，更是把音乐做到了极端的精致和流畅。仅仅凭借前两张专辑，销量就已经突破2000万。Matchbox20在全球一下子就累计了无数的歌迷。Matchbox20时不会让乐迷失望的。2003年1月，Matchbox20携新专辑横空出世，全球轰动：“这张《超乎想象》是完全超乎你的想象”的专辑。在第一单曲Disease当中，你会感觉到轻快律动的迪斯科复古气息。这一点也不奇怪，因为这首歌是Rob Thomas 和滚石乐队主唱Mick Jagger合作的歌曲哦！其实这首歌本来是要收录在Mick Jagger的专辑中的，可“老泡”的直觉促使Mick还是把这首歌割爱给了Matchbox20，因为也只有Matchbox20才能把这首歌演绎到“迷死人”的程度。而如果说第一单曲会迷死听众的话，那第二单曲Unwell这是直接折服了全球最挑剔的乐评人的耳朵。其实这张专辑中的每一首歌都独具风格，整张专辑在深深的怀旧气息中，不停地闪烁着摩登灵感的光华。刚刚在中国上市时，这张专辑在美国已经突破了1300万张的销量。如果你认为自己对音乐的品位有把握的话，是不是也来挂一注呢？

Come in! Nearly 5 years after their last studio album, the Backstreet Boys mark a resolute return with their 5th disc June 14 on Jive Records. The 12-song "Never Gone" reflects the adult ideals of a quintet that broke music and concert sales records the world over, moving more than 73 million albums (30 million in America) since their introduction in 1997. Certainly, pop culture remains on a first-name basis with the five singers that comprise BSB: Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson. When they scored in the U.S. with the debut platinum single "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)"-followed by such radio staples as "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," "All I Have To Give" and the No. 1 (in 18 nations) "I Want It That Way"- the Backstreet Boys grew to personify an unprecedented and celebrated youth-driven era in popular music. As teen idols, they sold more than 13 million copies each of their first two U.S. albums, "Backstreet Boys" (1997) and the No. 1 (in 25 nations) "Millennium" (1999). "Black and Blue" followed (2000), moving 8 million copies, and then "Hits: Chapter One" (2001), another platinum triumph. Along the way, the group logged12 top 40 hits, 8 of those reaching the top 10. Today, nearly a decade since their initial success-and following a healthy 3-year breather-each group member admits that they needed time to catch up, grow up and gain some perspective on the whirlwind of fame. "We had been touring pretty much non-stop for 7 or 8 years and we were almost living in a bubble; we had lost perspective on a lot of things," Kevin says. "You need to take care of yourself and rest and be able to reflect. This time off gave us a chance to recharge our batteries and step away and see what has happened in our lives, what we have accomplished and to be thankful for the opportunities that we have had and thankful for each other." Brian became the first Backstreet Father during the break, Kevin took on Broadway and London抯 West End with a starring role in "Chicago," Nick put out a solo project and Howie continued his efforts with the Dorough Lupus Foundation after the loss of his oldest sister Caroline in 1998. AJ McLean worked through personal demons with a well-publicized stint in rehab. "I've been sober for 2 ?years," AJ says. "I appreciate my family more, these guys more and myself more. Life is great. It's worth living again." "Never Gone," which BSB spent more than a year recording, accomplishes the formidable task of moving beyond pop idol notoriety to reflect what is happening in the group's lives and in the world. The project features intensely personal, upfront vocals, coupled with production that spares drum loops and synthesizers for a mature, live, more rootsy vibe. Don't worry-the pandemic hooks and velvet harmonies are still there, behind lyrics that tell universal stories of hope, loss, redemption and love. First single "Incomplete," released in April, proves Backstreet Boys' enduring relevance; in its first week out, the ballad was most-added at radio. By the end of May, the song was climbing the top 10 on Billboard's mainstream top 40 chart as well as the top 5 of Top Digital Downloads. The accompanying video clip reached No. 1 on AOL and garnered rotation on MTV, VH1 and MuchMusic.
