Whoa, "Dirty"? We in USA have what you might call a "low" culture, simply because we are a continental nation, like China, with many sectors and territories and people. Actually, China is more homogenous than us, because they are mostly Han Chinese ethnicity, I think. Anyway, Japan in my Cosmology here, is "high" culture, in part because the population, while diverse, is also culturally homogenous, not heterogenous like America. England is another example of "high" culture. Maybe it is the Royalty that keeps things ordered. Don't think "Dirty" think "Creative" because making entertainment and laws and sausage can be "dirty" business if you watch too closely. I think utada's style comes in part from her New York City origins, which makes her a diversified, open personality, at least on-stage. Urbane is the word, maybe. I'm certain she struggles like an American in the Workshop of her Creativity, but all you see is the Finished Product. Hands on workshops are not dirty, they are creative places where the juices flow. I will admit that America has changed a lot in the last 30 to 40 years, maybe not all for the best. Big changes last six years, too, from Republic to Empire. But I will stop, don't want to discuss "comfort women" or anything else controversial about past conflicts. Everybody's happy nowadays, right?
