Japanese emoticons

I've been using vertical and horizontal emoticons for years. I just thought there are two different styles of emoticons.

vertical:
:) :D
horizontal:
(^o^) (T_T)


Today, I stumble across a web site (Hiroette.com) that talks about the difference between the two. The vertical ones are actually Western emoticons and the horizontal ones are Japanese emoticons.
Personally, I think the Japanese emoticons are more lively and cute while the Western emoticons is simpler.

Here is a list of different Japanese emoticons that I found from various web sites:
