So here is how the topic started.   J was asking if i know about this singer and I don’t really know him because I’m not very current with Japanese singer. This singer got a long weird name, starting with L and I can’t remember his name because it’s really very long. So J uses his iPhone and googled this L singer to show me how he looks like. At first look, my first impression was, “Well, that’s a normal male Japanese singer look, nothing really special.”   J continued to ask how old I think this L singer would be. Based on those photos, I presumed the singer is be in his early 20s and J noded, “Yeah... I thought so too, he is same age as my mum.” (J’s mum is roughly late 40s to 50s.) I was impressively shocked after hearing that because his appearance was very young! Later on, J added that this singer is gay and he sometimes asks his male band members to give him a love bite at his neck before his concert starts, just to tease his fans.   Without much hesitation, I confidently told my student, “Do you know why Japanese are generally more creative?” I...
