ayumi ito tokyo film fest 2012

Uzaigaijin (who writes on SHINE! — you can usually find them on their site, but it’s down atm — u can also find them on Twitter) is passing her time at the Tokyo Film Fest and took pics of Ayumi Ito because she knows I’m like… her only fan. LOL But I’m not sharing most photos, coz ha-ha that will be my personal stash xD **evil laugh*

And Ayumi Ito knows when she’s to look at a camera~~~

It’s been roughly… four years. Give or take. It’s been a good ride, and it’s still going strong… so we still got a long way to go. Guys, if you would’ve gotten me at my “good” times, you’d be millionaires by now. Back when I was in high school I bought anything I could… even if I only like one song- I would have bought your whole album for that one song. I’ve got around 30 physical album with music in Mandarin — that’s roughly 7 albums a year… which is about an album every two months. Trust me, it’s not a bad deal.

Plus, imports are expensive…

All of the albums’ artists have their tags on the blog except for SingerSen. I haven’t talked about her much on this blog… yet. But maybe one day in the near future, I’ll add her own tag.

This is also not counting the music DVDs xD so there’s a couple more.

As a fan, I think I’ve been good to Chinese music fandom.

I had tried to resist you all throughout my trip in Taiwan when I was bombarded by your beautiful face selling me stuff from 7/11. How can you be a pretty boy and super sexy as well??

You should probably shave that 5-o’clock-not-a-shadow. It looks pretty silly.

No, there are no hidden messages on this post.

I’m just watching Buddha Mountain and it struck me like a bucket of chilly water — Fan Bingbing reminded me of Masami Nagasawa. No? Maybe? A little bit?

I don’t think they’re exactly the same, but they have similarities — though I think Fan Bingbing is EXTRA pale, both of them are whiter than usual. And while I link Masami Nagasawa’s image as a lot more dorky [1] — and not necessarily a favorite in my list of favorites — she seems to be sneaking a lot into my watching list (eg. I just saw her on Kiseki).

Fan Bingbing, she’s been on my radar for a while now… and even though I’ve only seen her in one other project (My Way), a few couple of phothoshoots… I’m beginning to like her a lot more. When watching her on Buddha Mountain, I kept thinking she seems like an uber intense version of Nagasawa. LOL

Harper’s Bazaar China loves to celebrate with Faye Wong and photographer Chen Man, this is why both of them grace the cover of this year’s anniversary Harper’s Bazaar edition celebrating their 26th year. They celebrated their 25th year the same way.

So being the lover of photography that I am, I went around and look them all up — including last years photos. You can also check this Faye/HB photoshoot.

And as you can see, I have instantly fallen deeply in love with photographer Chen Man’s work. And I’ve already ordered her book Chen Man: Works 2003-2010, and added her tag xD so you can maybe expect more Chen Man postings in the future.

I dunno what this is… but Leehom, I totally believe you’re not gay. xD Jackie, on the other hand, is a natural!

Weibo Misses You, Shu Qi

September 15, 2012 — Leave a comment

Netizens, you are ruining my fun way too often for my liking. It’s not enough that you’re bullying Tony Leung out of a possible dream project with Kiyoshi Kurosawa~ I’m still super sour that you bullied away Shu Qi from her usual activities on Weibo.

You know, I used to didn’t like Shu Qi. I actually tried using a nice photoshoot photo of her, but I couldn’t pick one that I liked enough. It turns out, though, that I love Shu Qi when she’s acting- like, I can’t get enough of her. I think what made me turn around and start liking her was following her on Weibo, when she used to post things like this.

Now she doesn’t post anything this fun and personal. Her posts are limited (since she’s been back after her Weibo pull out) to Buddha related posts. And she’s no longer receiving comments, except from people she follows.

Okay, fine. I miss you on Weibo, Shu Qi. xD

Yu Meets Right On~

September 14, 2012 — 1 Comment

So Yu-chan has short hair for reals! She sports her new look in the new commercial for Right On and everyone is tweeting the hashtag #yumeetsrighton (if you’re interested in checking it out).

Yu is also all over the 2012 Fall/Winter catalog for the company xD, and she’ll also be sporting this new look in the cover issue of November 2012 of Mina Magazine.

The Right On YouTube channel also has a brief “interview” with Yu, as well as a short Making Of the CM. You can also browse their website~

Soooooo, story of my life. The Shunji Iwai Vampire interview was supposed to begin at 9pm, which means I decided to stay up all the way into 7am my timezone to catch the interview… the problem was I fell asleep well into the 30min. mark with Iwai-san arriving  just a few minutes later.

So I missed the whole thing. LOL
