And they sit so straight in their chairs, and they look exactly alike and behave exactly alike and probably sound exactly alike. There is something missing. It is so entirely regimented that the human physical expression element seems missing. But again, I can't say they don't play well and get excellent results. And I am quite sure they are all super kids.
I lived in Japan for six years, and while I was not involved in music at the time, I have to say, at the risk of sounding racist or chauvinistic, that this is typically Japanese.
