Forewarning: this is a tricky one..
I was recently in Thailand and saw a music video for an Asian boy band but I can't remember their name or the song's name either.
The video was set at night inside what looked like a hotel or office building in the middle of a large city. The video was based around them breaking into the building. There were a few fish-eye shots of one of the guys looking into a security camera.. Most of the scenes were of the band members running from, and beating up American looking guards... And at the end of the video, they played their song with instruments at the top of the building.
The music was up-tempo pop... They reminded me alot of the backsteet boys' rock influenced ballads. Most of the singing was done in their native language (Japanese?) but a few lines were in English.
I'm pretty sure this was on an international Top Music Video Countdown (Middle of May, 2011) so I'm assuming it's pretty recent and fairly popular. Ive looked everywhere but can't seem to find the video. Any ideas on who they are and what song it is?

Anime EXPO/Conventions?
Asassaasas
1.) So I'm 14 and never went to one and wanna know how old do you have to be to go without a parent and just friends my age? Because I went on AnimeEX website and all it said kids under 12 need a guardian or parent and nothing talking about teenagers?
2.) How much money do I need to bring?
3.) What do I have to do to get in 1 to like register?
4.) What do I need to bring?
5.) Do I gotta wear my cosplay all the way to the expo/convention? Is there a changing room to change there and not drag my costume so people might think I'm weird and stuff....
6.) Where am I supposed to put my cameras and etc...do they got a locker or something like I seen in videos on youtube where people are taking other people cosplays and they don't have a bag or anything.
7.) Anymore information do I need to know before going? Like do I have to know alot of anime before going? (i dont want people asking me so what animes do u watch? and ill be like well only bleach...even though i do watch more the only anime series i rlly watch was naruto and bleach.)
8.) how long does it last? when does it start? I was planning to leave 5pm before my parents get home and notices. Is that to early?
9.) since it's my first time should i get atleast 3 friends to join up and come?
and 10..
Will I meet new friends should i bring a scrap book if they ask for my number or that will never happen?
Thanks I think I have more questions but that's all i have for now.
Answer
1) You are correct. Anyone under 12 needs a guardian. ThirTEEN year olds and everyone older are TEENagers. That means you are old enough to act like a mature young adult and take care of yourself.
2) Depends. You will need money to:
buy the badge (which you will register online)
food (unless you pack lunch and dinner)
buy merchandise (if you see something you want in artist's alley for the dealer's room)
hotel (if you planning on staying at one. book early.)
parking (if one of your older friend's drives you guys there)
concerts (same location but separate venues. you will need to buy tickets online for those)
3) You will register online. You will need a credit card to make the payment. Since AX just finished for 2011, registration for 2012 won't be open until at least early January.

Pre-registering is the cheapest option. You can buy a ticket at the door but it will be about $25-30 more expensive (at Dragoncon the at the door prices are $100 more expensive...so...watch it.).
4) Cosplay if you plan on wearing it.
Bottled water and snacks.
Cell phone.
CAMERA!! for awesome cosplay pictures and documenting the experience for memories.
Sharpie. For autographs for guests, writing your name on the badge, and getting people's contact info that you made friends with at the con.
5) Yes and no. You can wear it all the way to the con. There is no changing room (unlike Japan where it's illegal to wear cosplay in public and there are designated changing areas for cons there). You will change in your hotel room. You will see cosplay on the street since people are walking from hotels nearby and parking lots. You can change in the car as well or one of the many bathrooms in the Expo.
6) Carry a small bag or shoulder bag. Most people put the bag to the side when asked for pictures. Other people sew in hidden pockets in the cosplay to hid their wallet, cameras, touch-up makeup, cell phone, etc. There are no lockers.
7) Of course you don't need to know a lot of anime. Some people just come for video games or concerts. Just be kind and courteous. You'll see a lot of kids your age lost their sh*t and act like crazies at cons. Socially dysfunctional weeaboos that everybody hates but they're so into their own worlds they don't see themselves. Yep, these kids dry hump in public and scream at the top of their lungs. It's like they think a con means they can lose are moral responsibility. *facepalm
8) It lasts 4 days. Normally it starts on a Friday and goes to Monday. Leaving at 5pm means you'll miss out on the best things. Usually the best stuff is at night (albeit you won't be able to go to the 18+ panels) like the masquerade and concerts (which start at 7 and 9 pm respectively most years). AX is a very wholesome, famous con where industry heads even attend. Directors to movies and shows go here to. I'm sure if you ask your parents if they would allow you to attend next year and show them how you saved up money and what not they'd be okay with it. They have medical staff on site and security for the attendant's safety. Also, AX is non-profit and profits that they do make go to SPJA charity. You attending means you're giving to charity. What's not to love?
9) I recommend it! AX is *the* largest con in the country. 128,000 people attended this year and it grows every year (that 23,000 more people than last year!). Having friends can help you explore parts you would feeling going alone. Buddy system is great and they can watch your stuff if you need to go to the bathroom. Plus the stories you guys would share together once everything is over is priceless!
10) Yes you will meet new friends as long as you apply yourself. If you find cool people and start talking but then part ways, shake hands and ask for their facebook (I feel like phone numbers might be too intrusive) and give them yours. Unless you plan on meeting up later for an event then phone numbers are a-okay. Cosplayers have "cosplay business cards" which show their pictured cosplay on both sides and their handle names to major sites they visit/email address. But this is for seasoned cosplayers. Other people sharpie their name/nickname on the back of their badge and have the newfound friend photograph you holding it up. Then they have a face to put towards a name when they go home.
