well here at the board i ve seen people from north and centre america, most of western europe, artic europe too (new concept hehe) rusia, and well many other places...australia, new zealand... i know i am misssing a lot but this is not the point... well i understand people from certain places (were there are lots of other problems so they are not likely to spend some time at an internet board) not being here... but havent seen any japaneese around...i am sure they have no problem with english ( i mean...if an spanish speaks english...then anybody can) and they have aphex there...so how come non of them came around to visit us??
maybe this is an useless topic, but i just wondered

Perhaps the internet laws over in Japan are really crazy and they cannot view or post on MB's....only their own from their own country......
Or maybe I am just an idiot.....

Yep, I seldom see anyone from ASIA posting at all... on any of MBs I visit...
The only people who do post from Japan are a couple of USers working out there...and this isn't on this board, mainly people in the web design/flash/art field...
Think it's probably a language thing - English isn't such a common language in the far east and as they no doubt have a lot of MBs there - they probably stick to homegrown stuff...
A pity as one of favourite things about the Net is the international flavour...

i think, there is in fact a language-problem. i know some japanese people who speak english - but, apperently it's still exceptional.
but i wonder if the japanes are into braindance?!
cylob used to dj there - and made afterwards "mood bells" ;-)

Asia sank into the ocean, didn't you hear? That sucks, I'll miss the Japanese video games and psychotic hentai porn.

i think 2 or 3 people from spain.. the same with italy and france...ok not much but still some... what about non from north africa, or turquia ... well i understand that these countries with such a different culture dont care about IDM but japan is so occidentalish...and they have japaneese releases for aphex there...not here in spain

Richard is pretty known in Japan and the techno culture has been there for so many years, so there should be SOMEONE from Japan... It's just a question of time.

I love almost everything about Japan! I really wish there were some people from Japan here.
I really like Ken Ishi and Towa Tei but my fave Japanese artist is Denki Groove! Oh yeah and I also really like Boom Boom Satellites. Lots of great music from Japan.

automator aka dan nakamura is japanese and dj q-bert i am half japanese but i grew up here in the USA. i actually got a lot of shit from the asian community for being a "half-breed" and also for not speaking japanese. strangely enough, the people who gave me shit were korean, not japanese.

just goes to show that being an asshole is a universal human trait! or maybe it is just the united states' assholeness infecting and corrupting everybody else.
