How Beautiful You Are by Ayumi Hamasaki

I loved Madonna even more when she released "American Pie" music video which contains a gay kiss scene. I loved Christina Aguilera when she released "Beautiful" music video. Japanese dance diva(I suppose), Ayumi Hamasaki has released a song called "How beautiful You are" with a music video which has very similar theme( You are beautiful no matter how you look, who you love and so on ). Couple of years ago I saw a music video of a girl duo, which has a very similar format. Many couple are shown to be unhappy because they are not accepted as they are and in the end they smile and kiss each other. I'm not saying that I don't like that Hamasaki's music video resembles its precedents. To the contrary, I want to point out why it took so long till a Asian diva made music video with a gay kiss scene.

R.I.P. Masaki Koh (1983-2013)

(C) Leslie Kee I surfed the net to find that one Japanese pornstar named Masaki Koh has died only two days ago. I have never known him before that. But I felt very sorry for him and after watching the short documentary he had starred with his boyfriend, We Are Out EP. 2 , I even felt thankful for him because it seemed quite obvious that he had given courage to many gay people. Rest in peace.
