    Is anybody surprised these gals were big in Japan?
    The Japanese would go on to develop a whole genre with a similar look, sound and vibe.

In linguistic terms, these are a form of phatic expression. Aizuchi are considered reassuring to the speaker, indicating that the listener is active and involved in the discussion."
