A Japanese pop group hopped on the bitcoin bandwagon to sing about trading

TOKYO  - A Japanese pop group hopped on the bitcoin bandwagon on Friday, dedicating themselves to singing and dancing about the cryptocurrencies that have taken the world by storm, and especially their homeland.



Talk about jumping on a bandwagon – Japanese pop group Virtual Currency Girls (or Kasotsuka Shojo in Japanese) have decided to dedicate their careers to making banging tunes and dance routines about cryptocurrencies. 

 In possibly the most zeitgeisty piece of news ever, the eight members of the Japanese band sing songs about cryptocurrency – which is a pretty big deal in places like Japan and South Korea – whilst jumping around in maid’s costumes and fluffy pom pom ears – oh yes, and don’t forget about the shiny, full-face wrestling masks adorned with the Bitcoin logo.

The group’s leader, 18-year-old Rara Naruse, told Reuters that she hopes their songs will prove to be educational to listeners. ‘[Crypotcurrencies] are so convenient you kind of have to wonder why we didn’t have them before,’ she said.

 ‘We want everyone to learn more about them.’ Each band member took on a different cryptocurrency as they introduced themselves to a small gathering of fans during a gig in Tokyo, before launching into their new tune The Moon, Cryptocurrencies and Me. 

All of Virtual Currency Girls’ songs are about cryptocurrency (Picture: Reuters) And if the catchy name wasn’t enough to get you dancing to the tune, then perhaps the singalong-friendly lyrics like ‘Be careful about your password, don’t use the same one!’, will get you in the cryptocurrency groove. But really, it’s no laughing matter. Naruse said she wants to teach people about cryptocurrencies in a way that isn’t dull as hell.

The group’s maid outfits are a tool to make the group easily recognizable and to raise their popularity, she said. And, of course, all merchandise at the venue, concert tickets, and the group’s salaries are paid for in Bitcoin, because how could they not be? And their plan to edu-sing people into knowing more about cryptocurrencies is obviously working – one fan said: ‘I know absolutely nothing about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but I want to make sure I have some on hand for further concerts and to buy merchandise.’

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-
Image
“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Take a tour of Tyler Perry's massive new studio on a former Army base in Atlanta, Georgia

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
