  • My Fake Criterion Collection

    Just started this.

  • Yu Aoi for So-En Magazine (re-post)

    I think the website that had the scans for the Boys Style So-En photoshoot is gone, so I took some of my late night hours, un-watermarked and cleaned up the images for re-posting.

    Call it… Yu Aoi archiving purposes. LOL

    Photos by Mie Morimoto, but you know~ It’s all about the style in this one, right?
    Stylist: Junko Kobashi
    Hair & Makeup: Takayuki Miyamori [who also did Yu as a Mori Girl]

  • Kokuhaku – Confession Trailer

    The film is based on an award-winning novel written by rookie author and housewife Kanae Minato. Actress Takako Matsu (K-20, Villon’s Wife) plays a dedicated teacher at a junior high school who’s young daughter is found brutally murdered. Believing two of her own students are responsible, she decides to leave the school, but not before a final chilling confession to her class in which she informs them that she’s already enacted her plan for vengeance.

    Watch the trailer via Nippon Cinema.

  • Yu Aoi for Jane Magazine

    It’s been quiet in the Yu Aoi news lately (weird, considering Otouto was released), so I did my usual search on Google and came up with a couple of things. First, that cover.

    Two, my HMV order is supposed to get shipped the coming 24th [Salyu’s new album with DVD, Shiina Ringo old albums], and I’m actually pretty excited to get the back issue of Eye Scream magazine with one of my favorite Yu magazine shoots. I think I’ve crossed that fan line with that buy… LOL

    I swear, this is the first time I’ve bought a magazine for a photoshoot with my “fave idol”.

    If I could have my way, I would have Yu do all her PBs with Yoko Takahashi… or Marisa Shimamoto… and finally Keiichi Nitta. If I could have my way. Of course, Mario Testino would be awesome too. xD

    And finally… Anyone know what this article is about? Many news on this, and one of them Google-translated as “Aoi Yu produced” but I doubt she’s producing, or she’ll be all promoting in her website.

    ps. I’m fascinated with how those shoes work with the socks…
    and the bombachos ha! And that smile is so damn contagious…

  • Futurestates: Mister Green by Greg Pak

    What will become of America in five, 25, or even 50 years from today? FUTURESTATES is a series of 11 fictional mini-features exploring possible future scenarios through the lens of today’s global realities. Immerse yourself in the visions of these independent prognosticators as they project a future of their own imagining.

    That sounded like a pretty cool idea, so I’m currently on episode 2, though I couldn’t really made myself watch all of episode 1. Episode 2 titled Mister Green is pretty good though.

    And it looks oh so pretty.

    In the disturbingly near future, Venice is submerged, Canal Street in New York City has become a real canal again, and it’s 87 degrees in December in Boston. Catastrophic global warming has moved from theory to fact. At the Biosphere Climate Change Expo, undersecretary for the Department of Global Warming Mason Park (Tim Kang) informs the crowd of scientists and activists that the tipping point has passed, and that they are all at fault.

    You can watch it for free over at the Mister Green Futurestates website.

  • Kristen Wiig for V Magazine

    How about some Carmen Miranda in Las Vegas?
    or Brigitte Bardot as a Geisha? or… Frida Kahlo in Bollywood?

    xD Kristen Wiig is pretty funny, and takes this photoshoot to a nice place with the help of photographer Tom Allen. Though his site forwards you to Streeters.com, which kinda sucks coz it’s on Flash and you gotta check the whole site instead of just heading to PHOTOGRAPHER > TOM ALLEN.

  • Japanese Trompos!

    Love these trompos (why are they called Tops in English?)

    I used to play with trompos in school… just like any boy. LOL My cousins (all guys) and I would do trompo battles not like those lame whatever-anime about trompos that was. xD

    Check out the cuteness in these.

  • OK GO – This Too Shall Pass

    OK Go does Pythagora Switch (PITAGORA SUICCHI) on steroids… and other enhancing performing substances. Released on March 1st this year… single from the album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, the video was directed by James Frost.

    But seriously, guys. This isn’t about the music, it’s all about the video. Possibly our contender for Breakthrough video of 2010~~~ I wonder if there will be any more awesome videos???
