3. My true calling has at long last revealed itself to me.

   I’m ready to shake it if you’re ready to scream my name en masse.

4. I was half expecting seeing SMAP just reading the headline.

5. I mean there’s alot of lucrative industries out there that society put under the label of being a young persons thing. But since that’s becoming more and more of a rare demographic over there they’ve got no choice but to shift the narrative.
