^ Just the other day while I was watching Cartoon Network they had little bumpers (or something) in between shows/commercials where I saw Zorak and Brak. (And I think "The Brak Show" on Adult Swim ran until..2003-ish?)
Oh. Huh. I don't have cable anymore, so I don't know what either Cartoon Network or Adult Swim is like these days. I heard buzz about Adventure Time and streamed a few episodes from Netflix, but it was too dream-logicky for me.
I just googled zorak and it gave me a pretty accurate description xD
Looking at that pic (damn Acchan is hot ), mariko does look like zorak xD Well, I never thought she had a pretty face (but she had a hot bod). This "normal or ugly face, gorgeous body" is a prominent trait throughout the whole AKB I think.
Anyway, I never cared for her, and the only girl I actually follow there is mayuyu (although her robot face keeps freaking me out )
I've never heard of music in Lao before in my life, especially not pop music. Usually Lao is a little difficult for me to understand because of the accent, but the songs sound just like Thai to me with few obvious differences (e.g., pronouns).
