Yay for keeping updated!

Hello? Yu Aoi is waiting for TalkAsia xD and TalkAsia is waiting for our questions, I have decided to leave the questions opened until the end of April. =D
I swear to kamisama that Hyori-unnie has been watching a lot of films. Last time she did Black Balloons and creepy clow in a gloomy beach, which was totally arthouse. This time around she’s totally District 9 meets The Fifth Element meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I love it. xD Thanks for the Hyori video-bombarding, Julz.
Hyori in the yellow feathery coat looks like a little pollito. LOL
but it sure is time for YAM009 =D
is the cover kowaii??? [scary??] I would love to hear your opinion on fansubbing, as well as distribution, which are two topics I always bring up one way or the other.
You are also welcomed to comment on reviews and give suggestions.
With no further ado, go over here for download.
Color me surprise. This song is so catchy, but I lost track of how many outfits they’ve used. Major points for the Stormtroopers though~~~ and the dancing with those heels.
Also, am I the only one having a Lady Gaga vibe?
I have the urge to get 2NE1 music all of a sudden… as well as Gaga. Must get.
From what I could gather, Kim Shinyoung is one of the MC (host) in KBS’s Invicible Youth, which I’ve never ever seen. However, I ran into a clip online, and I couldn’t help but keep on searching…
Not long ago… on December last year, Kim Shinyoung was awarded Female Variety MC Newcomer.

Not only does she stands out in a room full of celebrities… she also does pretty great dancing parodies. Just check her out as Kim Tae Woo… full on drag [she actually has the same jawline as Justin Timberlake], or doing her version of Bi’s Rainism… HUNGRISM. xD And don’t miss out her rocking version of Wonder Girls’ So Hot.

Once again, thanks Julz for making me watch.
I saw this posted about a week ago, but didn’t wanna watch based on the title. I mean… “Love Song”? Sound the alarms! Also… Bi Rain… some people call him Rain, others Bi… others Bi Rain to avoid misunderstandings~ but Bi Rain is so less practical xD
This is the first single from his album Back to the Basics — I just had a full flashback to Christina Aguilera — and well, apparently the song is written and composed by Bi himself. Color me surprise. No wonder it plays well with Bi’s strength… using his sexy whispery voice.
my only pet-peeve I’ve told Julz is that he does the urban-looking dance all sweaty, which looks good sure… but does little to say “wow, Bi’s all grown up now”. I suggested to Julz that he should have done the sitting on a stool all tuxed up, doing a choreography with that and while the song seems to be getting angrier, he begins loosening his tie, and ends up ripping off his shirt.
See~~~ probably same effect, but doesn’t go all urban. xD
Hyori-unnie’s Vol. 4 album H-Logic [okay…]
Here comes the first single… a Latin-emo arthouse styled song/video.
Doesn’t it make you think old Latin song? Like OLD school Latin song.
And there’s a creepy clown… so arthouse.
And black balloons… totally Le Ballon Rouge xD
thanks Julz for the heads up~
I saw Love Exposure (愛のむきだし) last night, and despite the nearly 4-hr running time — yes, the film is EPIC — it did never seem uninteresting. Yes, it actually felt like 2 or 3 films into 1, yet somehow… it didn’t bother me. It was highly entertaining… in a very dark and sick kind of way.
I mean, it can only be Japanese.
Ai no Mukidashi tells the story of Yu Tsunoda, a boy growing up in a very Christian family. Suddenly his mother dies, but before she does… he promises to introduce his Maria to his mom when he meets her. With the death of his mother, his father decides to become a priest, until he meets with a woman in church who has decided to become a Christian herself. She is baptized, and when she does her first session at the confessional, she tells Father Tsunoda that she is in love with him.
At first, Father Tsunoda refuses but in the end gives into this woman, and begins having an affair with her while still giving sermons at church. Three months later, the woman in question seems bored of him, and is tired of sneaking around as the priest doesn’t show signs of quitting priesthood, so she leaves him which turns Father Tsunoda into a pessimist who gives sermons about doom and destruction.
This also makes his relationship with his son Yu difficult, as Father Tsunoda gets a sick satisfaction from hearing his son confessing his daily sins, whom in turns has been looking for better and scandalous sins to commit in order to please his dad. His major sin-accomplishment is becoming a panties-photo-snapping-on-the-street perv.
That’s a whole movie all on itself, then there’s the part where he meets the most perfect panties, falls in love/lust, there’s a lot of killing, girl-on-girl action, girl-on-drag fantasy… etc, etc and… then there’s crazy women.
Or… I mean, crazy girl.
Psychotic women… sociopaths~~ it’s all about the crazy… and not only because they’re unstable. They are scary because they coolly kill people or get people killed, and they show no remorse.
It is so sick… but highly entertaining.
