  • Chabuca Granda Google Doodling~

    Lucky and awesome indeed.

  • Rurouni Kenshin: Yu Aoi Interview

    So this was posted AGES ago, thought that I would post since some fan was kind enough to have translated Yu-chan’s answers (and we almost never get that).

  • Andrew Zimmern on Food

    Food opens more doors and makes more friends than any other form of diplomacy. It allows us to explore each other’s differences and find common ground while celebrating each other’s cultures, changing the way we understand our planet one meal at a time.

    A kick-ass quote by Andrew Zimmern in preparation for the YAMYUM Food Blogathon ;D

    It begins on Monday 3rd! So TOMORROW!

  • More Gong Li for l’Officiel by Feng Hai

    While the regular edition of l’Officiel has Katy Perry on the cover, l’Officiel China — which is celebrating 32 years of something — has Gong Li on the cover. There’s an accompanying piece (in Chinese) if you’re interested [link].

    Also, I found a new photographer! Very excited when I googled his name and ended up looking at some very awesome fashion shoots and celebrity portraits. Sadly his Weibo isn’t so active :( His name is Feng Hai (冯海), in case you need his name in Chinese characters xD

    冯海是天才的摄影师啊！

    Anyway, Gong Li is always class. She looks stunning, and the styling of the photograph is great as well, but since my Chinese is so poor, I haven’t been able to find the info I want. ~~~

  • Teasing Teaser of Tokyo Kazoku

    Very Japanese Trailer of you, Tokyo Kazoku xD

    Though, no sign of Yu-chan.

    I mean, it makes sense it’s only like 10 seconds of actual footage xD the film began shooting just short of two months ago. We still got a long wait ahead of us… Having said that, I think my Japanese drama language will work out for me with this one, so I just have to wait for a DVD and not actual subtitles xD

    Has anyone noticed that there’s so many un-subbed Japanese movies as of lately? Like, every time there’s a movie worth-watching~ SORRY, NO SUBS! And since the dismissal of upload sites, there’s been a lot of non-fansub activity.

    Are all you fansubbers hiding from me???

  • Bibi takes on Bruno Mars’ The Lazy Song

    Oh.Ma.Gosh.

    I knew Bibi could do impersonations, but this is too much. Positively good and quite hilarious. I’m not a very huge Bruno Mars fan, I think he’s composition (especially lyrics-wise) and performance in general could improve, but I’m not denying him some merits. His singles are pleasantly catchy.

    I’m a huge Bibi fan, but I’ve often talked about what I think her performances are lacking. So as the years have gone by, I think this is the first year that I’ve seen her completely comfortable performing live. Those hints of awkwardness are gone giving way to something in her eyes, something within her that makes her at ease on stage.

    Like she’s allowed to be silly on stage without worries.

    Dude, she did a little number on Beyonce’s Single Ladies [1], Lady Gaga’s Born this Way [1], and I can’t mention enough how she killed it when she did that Aaron Kwok number [1].

    I’m a loving this Bibi.

    — EDIT —

    YouTube version has just made its appearance.

  • From the Vault: Yu-chan’s Canon Sis Bday

    Of course, it’s Yu’s birthday, (She is 27 now!!!) and my Weibo timeline was flooded with Yu-chan photos all this time wishing her a happy birthday. xD

    Anyway, one of the pics was this one of Yu with her Canon-sisters Yamada Yu and Kaho, birthday cake, candles, and all.

    Isn’t Weibo the BEST?

    お誕生日おめでとう、蒼井優！

  • Eric Tsang Chi-wai on Kyary Pamyu Pamy’s PONPONPON~ Totally

    Of course it’s not, but~ it could be. xD

  • BiBi for The Silent War with Infernal Affairs Theme Song

    If you follow Tony Leung’s career… or the Chinese movie scene in general, you’d know there’s a movie coming up called The Silent War (聽風者 or 听风者) — actually, it has just come out — featuring Leung alongside Zhou Xun and Mavis Fan (these two are in everything together??) xD.

    Anyway, BiBi was at the movie’s premiere~

    And she sang the theme of Infernal Affairs [MV] in Mandarin ‘coz Tony is there. xD

    She did good :) She’s been sounding good lately despite audio problems generally found in CCTV broadcasts. Seriously, it’s like… no matter how good a singer you are, all CCTV performances sound like crap. Not even Leehom or Faye Wong can escape.

    Also, Mavis is the only one truly enjoying the performance. xD

    And Tony Leung’s left side looks super old compared to his right side.

  • Guh, Li Bingbing PicSpam Post~

    Guh, Li Bingbing~~~ I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE ALMOST 40. I am… pure shock. I am pure shock that your Hollywood debut is about to be, and you’re nearly 40. Fabulous at 40, indeed.

    This is Li Bingbing in a series of photoshoots for Comfort, Vogue, Cosmo, Elle, Hotspot, l”Officiel, In Style, and one photo I can’t identify with Li Bingbing with the jacket, lips on her t-shirt and suspenders. Anyone know where that comes from?
