  • MixTape – Oldies-a-Mix

    Wow, my iPod has some old music~~ haha. I decided to do a list by year, and foudn that picking a song a year is tough!! And it was a long list, so I thought I could split this up in a few other mixtapes. This one it’s a more varied one starting from 1940 with Carmen Miranda, and ending in 1969 with the Jackson 5. xD After that, I have enough music to do a 10-track mix per decade (one per year). You think?

    1. Carmen Miranda – Mamãe Eu Quero – 1940
    2. Carmen Miranda – Chica Chic Boom Chic – 1941
    3. Carmen Miranda – Não Te Dou a Chupeta – 1942
    4. Edith Piaf – La Vie en Rose – 1946
    5. Edith Piaf – Padam Padam – 1951
    6. Edith Piaf – Bravo pour le Clown! – 1953
    7. Yma Sumac – Indian Carnival – 1954
    8. Edith Piaf – Non Je Ne Regrette Rien – 1960
    9. West Side Story Cast – America – 1961
    10. The Beatles – Hold me Tight – 1963
    11. The Beatles – Can’t Buy me Love – 1964
    12. The Beatles – Help! – 1965
    13. The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin’ – 1966
    14. The Beatles – With a Little Help from my Friends – 1967
    15. Simon & Garfunkel – Mrs. Robinson – 1968
    16. The Jackson 5 – I Want Your Bacl – 1969

  • Muahaha – New from Lars Von Trier: Antichrist Trailer

    Yeah, the new film from Lars Von Trier doesn’t deserve an Ooh La~ it’s far to creepy, that’s why it deserves an evil laugh. *MUAHAHA*

    [iframe width=”480″ height=”390″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/eBdDcQONmkM”]

    I wonder WHEN the final installment of the Lars Von Trier trilogy, Wasington, will get (if ever) made~~


  • If MJ Came to Peru,

    Will You Be There?

    Sorry, couldn’t resist that one~~

    Despite all the crazy, I would go. I would pay to see Michael Jackson – just like there’s people saying they’d pay to see Britney Spears in Lima. Really? After the shennanigans in Vancouver? ~~~ but oh those possibilities of rock with your cock out. LOL’

    ANYWAY, I don’t know how much I’d be willing to pay to see MJ on stage… perhaps it will have a broad price range like many of the more ‘popular’ concerts. I’d be wiling to pay $50 for some okay ticket… I’m not crazy enough as some MJ fans. Plus, it’ll be tough to compete with them~~

    By the by, have you heard? Jonas Brothers sold like 20K tickets in 4hrs in Peru. Prices raging from 1300-ish Soles ($430ish USD) to 50-ish soles ($15ish USD). I’m so glad I’m not a parent, and so glad my younger cousin doesn’t find boys an interesting subject… yet. LOL

    Also Disney flat out denied that they are building a park in Peru. LOL’ Just thought I’d put this out there just in case…


  • Ike-chan and Me in Theaters this June!

    Yu’s site says her new film, Ike-chan to Boku, will be released this June 20 in theaters in Japan. Yes, I still haven’t seen TOKYO!, One Million Yen Girl is still NOT subbed, Osen is NOT on DVD, and Camouflage is still not done subbing either… BUT Yu’s got more new work on the way.

    Synopsis sounds SAD! Check this over at Nippon Cinema~

    For as long as he can remember, Yoshio (Arashi Fukazawa) has had a mysterious blob-like companion named Ike-chan (Aoi) watching over him. When Ike-chan is happy, she multiples; when she’s troubled, she shrinks; and when he becomes friendly with girls she turns red and starts getting angry. Throughout their time together Ike-chan sticks up for Yoshio when he’s bullied, and the two of them fight when she becomes too smothering for his liking. Then one day when Yoshio is older and has experienced his first love, Ike-chan vanishes from his sight.

    T.T reminds me of Winnieh the Pooh. Anyway, Nippon Cinema’s got a teaser, the one-sheet and a little more info on the book it’s based on.

    Also~~ Yu’s voice is only feature, and she’s a blob. LOL’ Not sure about the blob on the movie, but illustration looks super cute. Anyway, Yu has proven she’s good voice acting, though this role feels like its very soft unlike her voice acting in Tekkon~~ just saying. xP

    Here’s the Japanese website… and the trailer with subs~~ weird subs, but subs. Any Yu Aoi subs are appreciated~~

  • Disney Animation Collection – Vol. 1, 2, 3 & 4

    First, let me tell you – I don’t physically own these collections. I am basing my opinion on the content of the dvds, their price and their overall value compared to other collections that contain some of the same shorts.

    Disney Animation Collection 1: Mickey & Beanstalk [Amazon.com] which is another release related to this Fun and Fancy Free~~~ They both have Michey & Beanstalk short, what this new release has is the 1938’s Brave Little Tailor in which Mickey kills 7 flies in one blow and the townspeople mistake it for 7 giants, putting Mickey at the front to get rid of the town’s own giant. There’s also 1934’s Gulliver Mickey in which Mickey… eh, gets to a miniature people island. Also 1936’s Thru the Mirror and 1940’s Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip.

  • Just Discovered Chris Lee

    Or Li Yuchun, whatever’s your pick on names. She was China’s Supergirl winner… she was the one who beat Bibi.
    *le gasp*

    I digs… I think she’s got style *points at Shane* – She’s also funny on stage… can’t beat doing the Cha Cha Cha, right? Or singing Corazon de Melao. LOL’ She does magic tricks, and she apparently directed some of her MVs.

    that’s a pretty cool video, but still… Bibi >>> Chris – sorry, Chris fans. Just check that link.


  • Okuribito Subbed Trailer!

    I loved watching Departures. I thought it was quite poetic in its handling of oposing themes as life and death~~ good and bad… and a great balance between it’s light comedy and its drama. Plus, Kimiko Yo appears… she cracks me up sometimes *points at fried chicken* xD And Ryoko Hirosue also appears… both of them appear with Yu. I love playing 6 Degrees of Separation in the Japanese entertainment industry… xD

    Why is this tagged as ‘oscar history’? Well, this is the first Japanese film to officially win Best Foreign Film since it was first given away~~~

  • Easter YAM! YAM Issue 003, that Is…

    I just posted YAM 003 over at my portfolio~~

    There’s a lot of international flavor in it… all by chance actually. It really wasn’t planned, it all just came together like that. There’s a couple of rant articles on movies and music, loads of reviews including complete non-fanatical reviews of Ao Akua, Utada Hikaru, DBSK, Hathaways, U2, Madeleine Peyroux, and Michel Gondry/Bong Joon-ho’s Yu Aoi’s Tokyo!

    ALSO! A special on the Peruvian film winning the Berlinale’s Golden Bear top prize~~ The Milk of Sorrow, and some of the discussion regarding the original name “La Teta Asustada”.

    YAM - Issue 3

    Head over there now!


  • Life under the Threat of Terrorists

    Picture this…

    The terrorist threat is such a nightmare, that we get toque de queda (curfew) up to 10pm – there might be bombs anywhere you might go. You are at home, it’s the middle of the night and your kid is in bed for the night. It’s about midnight when you decide going to bed, you think everything is fine until it strikes. It shakes your window, and cracks the window in your kid’s bedroom.
