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
- What is Yu Aoi’s Best Film Role?
- Why Raiou Needs to Reach #1~
- Japanese Speakers Request
- Interviews
- Is Yu Aoi in Memories of Matsuko?
- Congratulations are in order, Yu-chan?
- This is Still my Fandom
- Is It Yuuuuuuu?
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.
Chulpan Khamatova
For the past few months, I have been on the hunt of Chulpan Khamatova material — subtitled or not — watching anything I could get my hands on in order to create, as my fandom above this one, a place for non-Russian-speaking fans of Khamatova to mingle and talk. Actually, I just want to find other Chulpan Khamatova fans out there that don’t speak Russian! LOL
Anyway, you can find:

My Indian Biases
I don’t think I have enough information to put a solely Tabu, Rani or Vidya or Madhuri section… but combined, they’ve totally taken over the blog. Same with my other fandoms, I want to find other fans who don’t necessarily speak Hindi (Telugu, Tamil or others) but love to talk about them.
