Something blown far out of proportion by the media and the World Health Organization. It's just like the "normal" flu, excluding the fact that this swine flu does not currently have a vaccination.
The media fails to tell you that the only people who have died of this so-called "deadly" virus are:
1) Mexicans with terrible health care and terrible health in general who are living in close quarters.
2) Babies and old people
Note that anyone who has any remote knowledge on disease knows that these types of people die from the "normal" flu, and that the swine flu isn't some kind of deadly disease because it hasn't killed anyone that a normal sickness wouldn't have.
Also take note of the fact that hundreds of people have gotten sick in the United States alone, and yet all of these cases were called "mild". Know that all of these "mild" cases have occurred in adults and/or teenagers, who would not die from the "normal" flu.
What also is failed to be mentioned is the fact that a "Pandemic" is any disease that is spread worldwide. Thus, just because the swine flu is a pandemic doesn't mean we'll all die. The common cold is a pandemic, and no one goes around freaking out about that.
This is another phase in the "we're-all-gonna-die" angst in 50% of the human population. It'll pass by 2010.

Get the Swine Flu mug.A ‘scinger’ is a shortened form for a ‘scotch and ginger’. Since ordering a ‘scotch and dry’ (i.e. a scotch and dry ginger ale mixed drink that’s popular in Australia) can often result in being served a ‘scotch and dry vermouth’ in California, one must therefore order a ‘scotch and ginger’, which after a few rounds comes out as ‘scinger’. Often heard slurred by drunk Aussies in bars in the TL!

Get the Blackup singers mug.An epic pig roast occurring annually in May. In order for a proper swine smolder, said pig must weigh in excess of 100 lbs (45.36 kg) and be outrageously expensive. Also, in order to be official, said event must be announced daily beginning on April 7th of the given year. In addition, if one is invited to a May Swine Smolder and declines the invitation, that person is an ultimate schmeeb.

Just like with anything else though, some are good, and some are bad.
Some Japanese Female Singers are REAL talent. They have a message to give the world and a common vibe to share for the love of music. Unfortunately there are other Japanese Female singers that are just another cute face chosen as the next quick money-maker for the industry.
For the most part, there are a good number of Japanese Female singers that are excellent vocalists but who are still sometimes overshadowed by the bad ones.
Some of the excellent Japanese Female singers are Utada Hikaru, Mika Nakashima, Misia, Boa, and Sowelu. That is just to name a few though.
At the end of the day, a person who loves all varieties of music and who has an ear for vocal tone, range, and harmonizing notes in succession will find something new and interesting when listening to the GOOD Japanese Female singers mentioned above.

Delroy: Hey, I was on youtube the other day and I came across some Japanese Female Singers. I think one of the singer's name is Misia.
Shanika: Oh yeah, I’ve heard of Misia. She has a 5-octave vocal range. Her music is very impressive and she has soul in her voice. You should also check out Utada Hikaru. She's a bit different, but still very talented.
