The 40min. segment from FujiTV’s Tunnels Thanks to Everybody that aired the day before the opening of Raiou… is actually pretty fun. Plus, Yu Aoi talking about food.
A popular segment in which Tunnels and guests take turns trying to guess the food the opponent hates the most.
We need translation for this one xD
Loads of interesting facts, it seems… like Yu owning a shaved-ice machine.
And Yu tearing up when laughing. Does anyone get that when they laugh?
How did I not know about this MV until today? LOL It was released in 2003!
I was going through some of the posts that had lost its YouTube video links, and one of them was this Yu Aoi and MVs posts, and I ended up seeing this video on Tudou, which took forever to load. I wasn’t sure it was a real MV, so I looked it up, and voila! Seems legit~
Song is okay too! LOL
I have been ruined by Jdrama xD
Can you believe it’s been three years since?
It’s probably the longest fictitious relationship I’ve ever had with anything. LOL
You can read all about it on YAM Magazine.
Re-pimping this old list~ xD
It’s always been tough to be a working actress on the big screen, as you turn a little older, offers often seem to be linked to “being someone else’s mother,” but cable television seems to be becoming more and more attractive to not only writers – because they get to write more challenging stories and skip censors – but also to women who were movie actresses and have found new complex roles to take on.

I’m a dork, you can’t deny it.
I’m a dork, and I’m proud of my -mostly- tidied up iTunes library.
As with my CDs, and my DVDs… a little bit of books, and mostly with computer files, I like to know where my things are. Of course, iTunes makes it way easy to keep things organized with their “copy to folder” and “keep things organized” options, but then we’ve got album covers, song names, artists names… and music can get a little messy.
I told you there were a few posts…
Anyway, did any of you watched Ryomaden last season? I did try to watch it at the beginning but wasn’t that into it, so it was really troublesome to gather the energy to find a subtitled version of it. Plus, there weren’t any small files, and I didn’t feel like download HD versions.
So I watched on TV with no subs.
Until the very last episode that Yu was on… and then till the very last of the year.
I remember that when I saw the preview of episode 44 with Yu’s character Omoto saying goodbye, I thought to myself — well, what bad number of episode to leave the show xD and it ended up being her 13th guest appearance — pretty sure about that.
Anyway, for those who didn’t watch the show — Yu played Omoto, a geisha who’s a closeted Christian (oh, the irony!). She plays the shamisen, does some traditional dancing and performing, and has some non-explored sexual tension with Ryoma. She was good in it, but I understand that Taiga dramas are a long-term commitment.
Here’s the capture of the interview with photos for those of you who won’t touch a Taiga with a stick xD
As you probably know… or didn’t – Yu’s latest play with Satoshi Tsumabuki, Minami he, opened in Tokyo… had some dates postponed (at least) due to the Earthquake, and I think it’s safe to say that it’s done with its running.
There were interesting thoughts on it – hint: only read one review, which you can check by going through the Minami tag – and I ran into this poster for it, which is the closest some of us got to this play xD
Hmm, I had planned a batch of Yu Aoi related posts that meant something, but I couldn’t find the photographer’s name for this photoshoot. And I even tried different ways… like her name + journal standard + photographer in English and Japanese, and ended up in Chinese websites xD
Did I tell you that my last Chinese lesson was professions? LOL
Anyway, this special project was a collaboration between Journal Standard and Yu Aoi for last December.
LOL. I know that’s a weird thing to say – or maybe it’s not so weird.
We know the adult industry in America and Europe makes money… maybe it’s been in a slump ever since sites have been streaming porn. We also know that the adult industry is always in front of technology usage… from VCR, to the internet, DVD, Blu-Ray… 3D? xD
That industry is a mystery to me, but it’s fun to read about it. I mean, how else would I have learned about interactive DVDs? xD
But you know what’s even more fascinating? The Japanese adult industry. Its stars… known commonly as AV idols. Of course, as everything idols… they act, they sponsor stuff… some even move on from the AV industry into music or films.
I was looking through some information and ran into a photo of… I’m not gonna name her, but if you visit the blog and see the photo, you’ll know right away… because the similarities, at least in that photo, are striking.
