Yu Aoi
I am trying to make a decent Yu Aoi-non-Yu Aoi thing here. Somewhere where u can discuss, read and know? about Yu and her work, but not really a fansite. I don’t focus much on photos, and fanart-making, but more on the films… if you wanna see icons, graphics and stuff, you can check this LiveJournal Community.
On this blog, you’ll find…
Guide for the Yu Aoi Fan:
- Notifications to the Fans
- Yu Aoi Wiki Entry
- Yu Aoi Films Ranked
- To Watch Until They’re 30 – Yu Aoi
- Yu Aoi: Filmography 2001-2009
- If Only… Yu Aoi Edition
- Japanese Speakers Request
- Interviews
- Is Yu Aoi in Memories of Matsuko?
The Film Discussion is for those of you wanting to know about a Yu Aoi film, how was the film, how much can you see of Yu in it, and how was her performance. It is likely they contain SPOILERS, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, you can scroll down without reading and just see how many stars it got.
Photobooks
I don’t own many photobooks, but they might increase. Who knows! Anyway, these are the photobooks that are feature on this blog:
- Hayato Ichihara
- Juri Ueno – A Piacere
- Juri Ueno – Ao Akua
- Yu Aoi – Travel Sand
- Yu Aoi – Dandelion
- Yu Aoi – Kaiten TABURU wa Mutsukashii

- Yu Aoi – Uso.
