Odagiri and Nakashima seem oddly, but fittingly matched in the #2 positions, considering their personalities.

I always thought Japanese entertainment is more superior in creativity than other Asian countries. I have watched and listened to Chinese, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese movies and music. I haven’t watch Thai yet but I heard that it is growing in popularity. Anyway, I’m happy that Japanese entertainment is gaining back its popularity. Japanese entertainment was very popluar in the 80s, the 90s was Hong Kong era, and early 2000s was the Korean Wave. I’m curious where the next wave will orginate. I think that music and movies can help improve relations smong the Asian countires.
