...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...

...in the country is the one from the book "Philippine Folk Dances v1" by Francisca Reyes Aquino, published sometime in 1940. The version integrated all the common dance figures among the many versions throughout the land. Three versions of this courtship-festival dance were found in Panay Island, the "Home of the Carinosa". Three different dance researchers discovered three equally beautiful Cariñosa dances. Petronila Suarez had her Carinosa Binggawan, Jose Balcena's informant; an old dancing virtuoso name Casimiro earned him the identity of Balcena's cariñosa version: Tatay Meroy Cariñosa. Tatay Meroy was an old bachelor from Roxas City who because of old age became aggressive in his courting of a future partner. This version dramatizes Tatay Mero's pursuit of his partner who teases him by flirting. Prolific Visayan dance researchers Libertad Fajardo and her daughter Joanne discovered a Cariñosa version from San Joaquin, Iloilo. The San Joaquin cariñosa is probably the most flirtatious of all known versions. Here, the couple does not simply do some hide-and-seek in a vertically spread handkerchief but also does the combing of each partner's hair and even...

...Facebook & Yelp: A Platform for Redemption Blake Brown Arizona University Facebook & Yelp: A Platform for Redemption Introduction In 2004, private-equity firm Elevation Partners launched amid the fanfare of having U2’s Bono as a co-owner and a $1.9 billion investment fund. Bad bets on companies coupled with the high turnovers between some of the firm’s initial six founders, left Elevation Partners in a far too precarious of a state for their investors. Elevation initially promised their investors they would have their money back after ten years along with annual returns starting at 8%. 2010 saw the firm only able to return $8 million in profits to investors, but 2012 is an entirely different story. Elevation is hoping that investments in Facebook and Yelp will make their investors forget about the several missteps they have endured along the way. Analysis Backed by technology-industry veterans and the front man of the world’s most successful rock group, Elevate is in the process of raising $1 billion for a new investment fund. Attempting to rise from the ashes after investments in Palm Smartphones, Forbes Media LLC, and other companies left Elevation’s investor’s pockets far less deep then they had been promised.

...Shall We Dance This is my second movie for this project. After watching Dirty Dancing, I had a big expectation to the next movie, so I wanted to choose the other movie carefully. I checked the list of the movies given by my friend. There was a little familiar movie, ‘shall we dance’ because it is also very well-known movie, so everyone can hear its title at least once even though they are not interested in movie or dancing. Therefore, I decided to watch this movie and I hoped it would be great as much as Dirty Dancing was. This movie was made in Japan first, and it was given a lot of good reputation. Therefore, it was remade in the US 8 years after the original one had made. Although I had two options to choose, I picked Japanese version, original movie, in that it was given better reputation. Also, I wanted to watch original movie first. It was a really good decision. I love the storyline of the movie and actors` acting ability. Above all things, I really love its sensitivity in the movie that was still but otherwise vital in terms of the process that main character, Sukiyama, find the real joy in his life through dancing. I could have a chance to think about myself and meaning of my life like dance teacher, Mai. It was another delight after watching this movie. Therefore, I really would like to recommend this movie to my family and friends. Here is more concrete storyline. There is a middle-aged man whose name is Sukiyama. He suddenly becomes lethargic.

...story by Dorothy Parker, tells the story of an unnamed woman’s complaint with a dance partner. The pair meets at a party, when all the other dance partners are unavailable. The woman complains about the way the Man dances. Everything the man does, from the way he looks, to the steps he takes, to his cockiness makes her upset. However, the woman does not say anything to her partner. She struggles silently and it is only the reader who knows why the woman is upset. The story ends and after the dance, and the woman never reveals her thoughts or feelings. The story is an allegory because it tells a story through the story. Parker writes about a dance, but the dance represents more then the dance between the two characters. The dance expresses the relationship that women and men have. The woman, never wanted to talk to the man, but she is forced to. The woman didn’t want to dance with the man but she is forced to. The woman didn’t make mistakes while dancing, but after dancing with him she is forced to lie and say she did. The main character is never able to tell her partner her thoughts about the man’s character and behavior. The waltz is a dance complete by two partners. The male and female dancers both have parts to this dance and they both need to work together and work separately in order to make the dance a beautiful one. However, in the woman’s perspective, the man is unable to be a good partner because of the way he acts. He is very forward in his manner and dancing. He controls...
