  • Asami Mizukawa for Playboy?

    LOL’

    I never expected to see Playboy Japan, let alone post about it. Photos and style seem different, no? Reminds me of the French Playboy edition with Juliette Binoche. Super class!

  • Tenga Eggs

    Squishy and Oishii have completely changed their meanings.

    Someone at NotCot ran into these Tenga Eggs. Obviously, I didn’t know what they were about until I saw the commercial… but maybe I’m just part of the minority that didn’t know. LOL

  • MTV Unplugged is Back with Vampire Weekend

    What happened to MTV Unplugged anyway? It feels like it just went away. I do remember Alicia Keys and Maroon 5 had MTV Unplugged albums, right? Or was it only Keys?

    Anyway, Vampire Weekend on MTV Unplugged.

    Does that mean they’re famous? I thought only famous… like household names had MTV Unplugged albums. I really liked Vampire Weekend’s debut, and their sound translates well on this unplugged scenario. But what’s missing? I guess I’m used to really different arrangements. As it it now, they just sound kind of the same.

    Check out some clips (6 songs is a full show?) over at the MTV website.

  • Emily, Will You Marry Me?

    Awww… that is so awesome, non?
    Major points for the music~~~
    But of course, the big points come
    from all that light painting~~~

  • Yu Aoi 2010 Calendar

    I wasn’t gonna post these — like I said, not a calendar person — , but ran into some okay scans,
    so now I’m looking for all of them. If you have them, resolution of 560px wide or more
    leave a link on the comments!

    I can totally see Dutch Milk Maid… or Hansel & Gretel. Ja?

  • Faye Wong Back for Confucius

    Turns out that Faye Wong had been working on the main theme for the Chow Yun-Fat Confucius film. The song, titled You Lan Cao (幽兰操), was finished on December 31st, and will be released on January 6th for the release of the film.

    It is based on the works of the Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu (韩愈, 768-824). The director, Hu Mei, is reported to have described Faye’s rendition as ethereal, as “Communication of the earth and the sky’s beauty.”

    …

    The new song uses only 64 Chinese characters and is adapted from ancient poet Han Yu’s eulogy on orchids that resonated with the iconic philosopher Confucius.

  • Bad Ass Fruity o-Mochi

    xD

    It was seriously good, and pretty.

    it was so effing tasty… the green one had a Guanabana (Soursop) filling, which was my fave. Then there was the chocolate one, and the Lucuma one~~~ The rest, I think, had a sweetened bean paste… which is the most common. We also had a lot of Japanese food, which was popular because we don’t normally get makis, sushi and sashimi on New Year. There was also pancetta with crispy skin (like REALLY crispy, really so effing good). We had sticky rice, spicy jellyfish, sweet potato noodle salad, and egg tarts xD

    Food is so good, why would anyone not eat?
