Yesterday was a good day to be a Yu-chan fan.

*cough* subs for Raiou are out.

The YAM Magazine Weibo account was flooded of Hana & Alice talk – I still don’t know why, but I can’t complain.

And Acerk messaged me with news of two stills from Shunji Iwai’s Vampire featuring Yu.

I was really excited.

Who remembers those days when you were in class not paying attention, doodling on your notebook?

I was just watching CCTV where Sa Dingding showed up. Her Harmony album was one of my faves last year, and revisiting Ha Li Li I thought she’d be perfect for a collaboration with Laure Shang with Love Warrior – which, at this moment, is one of my fave tracks of 2011.

I made a poll on Weibo (first one ever!).

Okay, other than BBC (and every other channel) showing the Royal Wedding all freaking day long, it was pretty impossible not to know about it. Whether you love them or hate them.

It was pretty horrible with even CNN, which made me wonder if they were going to talk about the flavor of the wedding cake.

Here!

I dunno what the flavor was, though.

Worldwide Anthems~

May 1, 2011

This post took a really long time… it’s been on my to-do post-it for a while~ I even have a post-it with the songs that I wanted to include, and the ones I could ask people about.

So check out the list on YAM Magazine ;D

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 just finally burnt Zhong Ping Huang’s (黄­中平) name in my head.

Because of A-Mei’s latest MV.

Having realized that he’s made my favorite Faye Wong video, I just spent all night “curating” a list of 77 MVs of some of the music videos he’s directed since 1997… but only of the artists I follow… otherwise the list is just endless~

Most of the time, his style is described as just about style, emotion and composition. Though, I have seen a few of those that have something resembling a plot.

Faye Wong – Bu Liu/ Nothing Left

I think that video captures what I essentially love about Faye Wong.

Can we agree that Hanna looks like she could be on our list of Top5 Little Girls on Film?

You can head over here to read the interview.

By the way, first time doing an interview via email. Interesting experience.

Oh hoh… teasing photo for those who wanted Shunji Iwai + Yu Aoi back together. xD
