  • Ponyo Gets a US Trailer

    First, see it for yourself~~~

    https://youtu.be/TCg1RYahEG4

    Now, I wasn’t to OMGWTFGOD when I saw the film. I liked it… I thought it was okay. The thing that I loved was singing that Ponyo song with the little girl – Ponyo, Ponyo sakana no ko!!! – Plus, Juri sings it too and that made me laugh so hard. I just had to mentioned that… just so you could see that part of the charm of the film is THAT song. This is why I think this trailer fails, makes it look all epic and sh!t… it is kinda, but it’s mostly cute.

    People will feel mislead. I can feel it in the air… and critics will bash it as childish.

  • Lucky Thirteen – Watch Over Me

    Fan-made video! And new video posting testing!! LOL

    First, a little about the video.

    I began this… when this episode (Lucky Thirteen) aired back in Oct. 2008 – so it’s been sitting on my computer forever. I worked on it one weekend, and sort of left it there – until this weekend. I’ve begun working on another music video (on a less fan-made side) and thought I should at least finish this one.

    I found Thirteen (I refuse to call her Dr. Hadley or Remy LOL) interesting from the beginning. It was a certain spark, and well… Olivia Wilde is pretty hot – which my friend Mob would be glad to agree on. And I also have to say that I’ve always found Foreman boring, so Foreteen makes me roll my eyes.

    That aside… the song is by Hanson from The Walk, and it immediately brought images of Thirteen and her out-of-control behavior, so I just had to do it.

    On a rant side… YouTube has removed already 2 of my fan-made videos, and I’m expecting them to remove the ones that are left, so I’m now forced to not use it. So please help out by linking back to this site =D

  • Monkey Majik!

    Just saw them on J-Melo! My first thought… what are these two white guys doing on NHK? I was pretty impressed, actually. They are fun to listen to… almost like having fun while listening to the Barenaked Ladies, only better. So I did a quick search, and found a list…

    Monkey Majik is a group of two Canadians and two Japanese dudes singing in Japan-glish xD
    give it a listen~~~ check out the song Fly, and their song Aishiteru (I Love You)
    actually… both those videos are pretty good. I liked Aishiteru quite a bit~

  • Yu doesn’t drink…

    but plays a great drunk. LOL – Okay, maybe she does a little if I read right the interview aoinohoho sent me.

    Actually, this clip I found made me want to watch Tiger & Dragon. xD

    should I?

  • It’s Green Porno!!!

    Hmm… think it’s like National Geographic in the theater, and Isabella Rossellini in the shape of various different animals. Really… literally.

    Green Porno - Isabella Rossellini

    Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno series (which I wasn’t aware of) has just released it’s 2nd season. You can watch the first and second season through the Sundance Channel, here.

    I particularly thought series2 was better, so that’s actually an improvement! Now, if only classes at school were that visually interesting~~~ *laughs*

  • The Beatles for Rock Band

    I’m not much for video games, though I must admit games like this are fun for a bit. xD

    I certainly don’t find a strong reason why I should blog video games, you’re better off playing yourself, but I thought this commercial in animation for Rock Band is pretty good… actually, I thought it was just okay until I reached “I Met the Walrus” then it got me. xD Take a look yourself~

    Really, totally weed-induced Walrus sequence. LOL’

  • I “Kick like a Girl” Too!

    LOL’

    Kick like a Girl is a 30-min HBO documentary of a team of girls that play (NOT soccer) football that totally creamed the boys in a match… or something.

    Back in my school days… I played football. I think I rocked it~~~ as a hobby of course. Back then, girls didn’t rock like this. I wish I had a girls football team T.T

    When I was 10-ish, there was a school match… between girls, but I’m pretty sure I was the only one taking it ‘seriously’. I even had my friends over for a practice. You know, I used to play with my cousins… one of those things you do when all your cousins are guys you see~~~

    Best in the trailer? The boy admitting getting creamed (in the field) by a girl. And the girl saying “I’m not going to be one of the girly girls, who put on lipgloss everyday, dresses in tutus and goes to ballet.”

    Yu Aoi - Kid
    What’s wrong with tutus and ballet?

    You know… you can still end up like this~

    Yu Aoi - Travel Sand
    Just in case you don’t know, that’s the same person. ;)

  • Multilanguage Dubbing~

    I know I’m often unkind to dubbing – right?? – but I particularly think Disney does a decent job at doing multilanguage version of their musically-animated films… perhaps not actual full films, but their musical sequences. I was watching a Russian animated short that linked me to the Russian-dubbed version of the Halloween song on The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    I particularly think the Russian dub has a lot of personality, and kinda scarier vibe~~~ and, what do you think of the Japanese dub of Halloween? Kore wa HAROUIN~~~ xD

  • Because I don’t blog enough Chinese Music…

    and Chinese in general.

    Taking example of Julz’ K-pop YouTube list – But then MTV Iggy is not as cool, LOL – I decided to make a 12-song playlist in YouTube… mainly because I didn’t wanna upload anything here. Plus, as much as I love my cassette playlists via MixWit~~~ watching videos is way cooler.

    The thing is, you gotta watch ALL the videos, and watch them in order because there’s a reason for me putting the songs in that order. LOL’ It’s the vibe. The videos I chose are cool to watch, music is great.

    Hope that you enjoy them. And I am looking for more Chinese musicians and groups… out of this world music. Not simply pop. That’s a reason I didn’t name it MandoPop or Cpop list. ;P – Music like Faye Wong who is still not back, though Fayenatics are abuzz~~~
