  • Kuwazugirai: Yu Aoi vs. Okada Masaki

    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?

  • Yu Aoi x GOING UNDER GROUND – Heart Beat

    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


  • How Jdrama Made me a Lazy TV Viewer

    I have been ruined by Jdrama xD

    Can you believe it’s been three years since?

    It’s probably the longest fictitious relationship I’ve ever had with anything. LOL

    You can read all about it on YAM Magazine.


  • Ten Actresses that Should Move to Cable

    Re-pimping this old list~ xD

    It’s always been tough to be a working actress on the big screen, as you turn a little older, offers often seem to be linked to “being someone else’s mother,” but cable television seems to be becoming more and more attractive to not only writers – because they get to write more challenging stories and skip censors – but also to women who were movie actresses and have found new complex roles to take on.

    you can read the whole thing on YAM Magazine~


  • Music Video Director: Zhong Ping Huang

    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.

  • My purty iTunes Library~

    I’m a dork, you can’t deny it.

    I’m a dork, and I’m proud of my -mostly- tidied up iTunes library.

    As with my CDs, and my DVDs… a little bit of books, and mostly with computer files, I like to know where my things are. Of course, iTunes makes it way easy to keep things organized with their “copy to folder” and “keep things organized” options, but then we’ve got album covers, song names, artists names… and music can get a little messy.

  • Hanna: Interview with Seth Lochhead

    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.


  • Wow, 10 years of All About Lily Chou Chou Already?

  • 30th Hong Kong Film Awards: Best Song

    Let’s start off by saying that my Chinese/Hong Kong film viewing… isn’t, just isn’t. LOL Of all the nominees, I have only seen two. Hahaha, I’m a little ashamed of that considering I’ve seen over 120 movies last year. Though, there were 3 other films I wanted to watch before the nominations were announced: Love in a Puff, Gallants, Under The Hawthorn Tree, and Detective Dee ;D

    And I’ve decided I should watch Reign of Assassins with my dad, and Hot Summer Days with my mom. LOL

    Also, Tetsuya Nakashima’s Kokuhaku was crowned as Best Asian Film, beating the likes of Aftershocks and Monga.

    Anyway, we’re here because of the Best Song category, which had the most artists I was familiar with, and we’re going to be looking at each of them and their respective songs~ First, the winner:

    Jun Kung’s Here to Stay from Merry-Go Round

  • Ryomaden Goodbye Interview

    I told you there were a few posts…

    Anyway, did any of you watched Ryomaden last season? I did try to watch it at the beginning but wasn’t that into it, so it was really troublesome to gather the energy to find a subtitled version of it. Plus, there weren’t any small files, and I didn’t feel like download HD versions.

    So I watched on TV with no subs.

    Until the very last episode that Yu was on… and then till the very last of the year.

    I remember that when I saw the preview of episode 44 with Yu’s character Omoto saying goodbye, I thought to myself — well, what bad number of episode to leave the show xD and it ended up being her 13th guest appearance — pretty sure about that.

    Anyway, for those who didn’t watch the show — Yu played Omoto, a geisha who’s a closeted Christian (oh, the irony!). She plays the shamisen, does some traditional dancing and performing, and has some non-explored sexual tension with Ryoma. She was good in it, but I understand that Taiga dramas are a long-term commitment.

    Here’s the capture of the interview with photos for those of you who won’t touch a Taiga with a stick xD
