...Happy Meal promotion by McDonalds in Singapore in 2000 where McD’s customers could buy a Hello Kitty or Dear Daniel doll for $2.60 Singapore dollars caused such a frenzy (and a ruckus too) that it has caught the interest of both the media, global marketers and academics alike. In the end, this Hello Kitty McToy promotion increased the interest and sales for McDonalds; but with a different consumer; and not the intended target group - the prepubescent girls and boys! The reasons for this unexpected and overwhelming appeal for this McToy campaign in Singapore and the rest of Asia can be postulated to the following. They are however divided into two categories – the first covering the Asiatic region in general; and secondly, specifically to the Singapore market only: A) Across Asia: i. The Growth, Charge and Impact of the Kawaii Concept: Kawaii is a key concept that characterizes the modern Japanese culture. Literary translated as “cute” in English or figuratively as “things that are desired”, this culture originated with the 15 to 18 year old girls in Japan. Soon, marketers and advertisers in the fashion, publishing and the cute-little-gadgets industries recognizing the wide potential and appeal of this niche segment began to leverage on it. As this market segment is typified by the characteristic “not how much they spend” but “it’s that they all buy the same things”, hot items (like Hello Kitty) when caught by the wave can easily reach 100% market penetration in weeks!

...Japanese popular culture has been around for many years and is the leading wave of Asian popular culture. It includes a variety of media such as manga, anime, film and music. Japanese popular culture is also portrayed through physical forms such as products, celebrities, personalities, maid cafes and may others. SMAP is a Jpop boy band with immense popularity from Japan and is one form of Japanese popular culture. Darling-Wolf suggests that SMAP's popularity is due to its careful construction of appeal and masculinity. SMAP is not well-known for their talents in singing, but rather for depicting Japanese personalities. Darling-Wolf refers to SMAP members as 'life-sized' pop idols (Aoyagi) who personifies a typical Japanese boy or girl which allows audiences to relate to them well. This is supported by Yano's research which highlights that fans form emotional bonds and connections with celebrities due to their charisma and personalities. Darling-Wolf that SMAP is popular is due to its intertextuality from appearing in TV shows, movies, talk shows and many more media forms which allows fans to feel a proximity or closeness. Intertextuality allows SMAP to be able to portray their personalities better and reach out to more audiences, which enables them to connect with their audience. Darling-Wolf argues that SMAP's fame is highly due to its constructed appeal of masculinity, which creates the 'perfect female fantasy'. SMAP members portray pluralities of masculinities which involve...

He had an essay due the next day he had waited until the last minute to do the essay, mostly because he hated writing. John looked up and saw a man glaring at him through his window. The light flickered and went out. The hum of his computer shut off. In the dark silence, the man hovered over him, and took him. He woke up in a room tied to a chair with several other people in it, he started screaming, "Where are we!!!?" but there was no answers, then a sudden chill ran down his spine. Someone walked in the door behind me "Hello there little boy, how are you today?" the man said, he spun in a circle and screamed, "Owe!” The man was wearing a black suit with a red tie; he had on some white gloves and black hair. "Who are you?” he asked, he replied, “His name shall not stream through your brain". "Okay then, you sound like a smart person", John said, the man spoke of no words, he then pulled. His gloves on tight and dropped them with a snapping noise! Aaaaaahhhh! He closed his eyes and heard drilling and more screaming. He opened his eyes and he could not believe what he was seeing with his own eyes! There was a girl with holes above her knees just like in a movie he saw a while back, maybe the thought of everything was just getting to me he thought but then realized it was real.

None of the public speaking rehearsals that I had painstakingly endured could have prepared me for the moment when the curtain rose and all eyes at the annual Mississippi VFW Convention stared seemingly through me. At the age of 14, I had never spoken in front of a crowd of that magnitude. As I glanced across the audience and saw the smiles that covered each of the veterans’ faces, all my apprehension vanished. The attitude of spite I had for writing dissipated as I came to fully understand that my ability to read and write had opened doors for me to learn more about my great grandfather’s life, bring joy to the members of the VFW,...
