@rika My opinion won't do it alone on any issue.Society's mass opinions can change laws and cultures. Why do we now ban capital punishment in many countries? Why is it illegal not to have fire alarm in house? Why is it against the law for kids to not wear seat belts? Not saying that the Japanese culture is wrong yet in this case but my initial opinion based on the article is that it is very uncomfortable.Maybe your mind needs to open up a little bit and accept change if it comes rather than use the argument 'it's culture so it's right'. Is burning women at stake for being accused of witchcraft right? Once upon a time,it was a tradition...

@jimmyszeto So? Not like your opinion is significant enough to change an entire country's culture.

@rika Not bothered whether it is traditions or culture. I will still express my own opinion...

@coralie It's called genetic sexual attraction.

@littlefish At least Wayne Lai gets the cultural difference. The rest are just using their personal benchmarks to criticize another nationality's culture.

@rika this! I’m glad someone get it’s a different culture.

Ignorance. The culture in Japan is completely different from HK or China. The concept of mixed public bath (sentou) in Japan has existed since the Edo period. Granted that it may seem weird in the eyes of a Chinese or Westerner that Kitami bathes with her family, it is a pretty normal thing for Japanese families to bathe in an onsen or sentou together.

@hazel Well, IIRC she is managing a cosmetics surgery business so it makes marketing sense to use her company's products and putting forth her face as the ambassador.

Silly, "bankruptcy" is often used as a method to avoid liability repayments. Chances are most of his wealth have been placed under his wife's name or as a different legal entity's assets.

@linda Kaneshiro Takeshi.

@rika Having sex is not a crime neither are taking provocative pictures or videos. Or am I missing something here? What is the problem exactly? Enlighten me please. I guess you think Tang Wei is f**king stupid for doing an award winning movie with an Oscar-winning director that ultimately got herself banned from working in mainland China? If you don't then you're a hypocrite. What IS f**king stupid is shaming people's individual choices that are neither evil nor unethical instead of the irrational public reaction and victim blaming. The fact that this can 'damage one's career' says more about the stupidity of our society and culture than about her intelligence. I don't see Tony Leung's career burn up in flames after "Lust, Caution" so why should any victim of leaked nudes be scrutinized by people like you? I guess sex and nudity is only okay for you when it's made to be consumed by the public and not when it's supposed to be private between two people? Logic.

@rika You are blaming the victim. It may not have been a decision that you or I would have done, but it isn't her fault that those images were stolen and distributed. This outrage should be placed on the thieves that mentally raped all those who had their privacy violated.

@wm2017 They are just idols; not talents. The only reason why they were popular back then was because they "exhibited the typical school girls" aura which appealed to male otaku-like fans. It's like Japan's AKB48 and Morning Musume. Also don't forget, Twins had Albert Yeung as their boss. His influence was enough to get them as much spotlight as possible.

@peanutbutterjelly You are all absolutely correct. I should not have judged that shy people would not take provocative photos. What I should have written was "she is f**king stupid to let that get taken and damaged her career". Better?

@rika Yes you are right, shy people are too shy to have sex and shy people are too shy to ever take intimate pictures with their partner, in fact shy people are too shy to even exist. No shy person will ever warm up to another human being even their significant others that's why they are all virgins till death. Tony Leung is a shy person that's why he never made a movie with a sex scene before. Logic.

@rika oh pls don't be so harsh. It has nothing to do with her personality and her xxx clip??? Its super normal if u sleep with the man you love and filmed it. The one who shared it to public completely deserved the criticism not Gillian.

@rika Uhm, she is doing it with someone she loves? No need to talk, and if Jlaw goes unscathed because her opinion is that she’s doing it for the man she loves, why do we condemn Gillian so much? As a matter of fact, shy girls are easier to coerce into doing something they don’t like.

"I just didn’t know how to talk to other people. I was like this my entire life—I had more girls in my family than guys, so I didn’t know how to interact with other boys when I first joined the industry. I was scared to talk to them." ......but she has no problems being filmed while being f**ked? That's really some logic there, huh? *rolls eyes*

@funnlim Height can be fixed too! There's something called limb lengthening surgery.

Didn't watch it but heard a lot of good reviews about this series from my friends as well and I'm really glad. Hope this translates to higher earnings for iQiyi since I own their shares. LOL!
