  • I’ve Been Thinking About Yu…

    I haven’t actively looked for Yu Aoi fan-made videos in a long time, but here we go~ I hope this one doesn’t get deleted, coz we’ve been suffering from that a lot lately. Regular Yu Aoi film footage applies, with nice additions of Tamatama, and Otouto… though, Raiou would have been nice to have.


  • Clea Duvall, when did you ever…

    … get this hot?

    I’ve always liked Clea Duvall. Duh, Buffy~~~ Popular~~~ Girl Interrupted, The Faculty, Can’t Hardly Wait, She’s All That. I’ve grown up watching Clea on screen. She’s a big part of my teen teen teenage years, so I was so happy to see her in Affleck’s latest film, Argo. And I said to myself, “wow~ look at that. She is so great in here.” When I ended up on IMDb that now has her profile pic from one of the Argo premiere pics, I said “OMG, she looks stunning!” I’ve never had this reaction to a photo of her before.

    Her face in this snapshot is quite flawless, and it’s impossible to get near-flawless on carpets with all the flashes going on.


  • Yu Aoi for Zipang Punk

    I ran into this story~ though I can’t be exactly sure about it, you know… with my Japanese sucking and all. But it seems like Yu-chan’s going to be on another play- called Zipang Punk Goemon ROKKU III (so it seems like it might be… a musical? LOL) A rock musical on the life of legend hero Goemon or something.

    You can check the story on Geinou News Lounge, which is the source with the most text. Plus photos. I will be adding the show’s dates on the Yu Aoi calendar placed down down below, which had seemed rather empty lately.

    If anyone else has more information on it, don’t be shy and share it in the comments :)

    Tickets for the Tokyo shows, which begin running on December 19th, run for 12,500 Yen, 10,500 Yen, and 7,500 Yen. While the Osaka shows which begin running on February 6th, run for 13,500 Yen, 10,500 Yen, and 7,500 Yen. Tickets for the Tokyo show will begin their sale on October 28th, and the Osaka shows will begin selling on November 25th.

    All the info is on their website.

  • Ayumi Ito is Totally on a Shampoo CM at 2012 Tokyo Film Fest~

    ayumi ito tokyo film fest 2012

    Uzaigaijin (who writes on SHINE! — you can usually find them on their site, but it’s down atm — u can also find them on Twitter) is passing her time at the Tokyo Film Fest and took pics of Ayumi Ito because she knows I’m like… her only fan. LOL But I’m not sharing most photos, coz ha-ha that will be my personal stash xD **evil laugh*

    And Ayumi Ito knows when she’s to look at a camera~~~


  • Fan Bingbing vs. Masami Nagasawa – FIGHT!

    No, there are no hidden messages on this post.

    I’m just watching Buddha Mountain and it struck me like a bucket of chilly water — Fan Bingbing reminded me of Masami Nagasawa. No? Maybe? A little bit?

    I don’t think they’re exactly the same, but they have similarities — though I think Fan Bingbing is EXTRA pale, both of them are whiter than usual. And while I link Masami Nagasawa’s image as a lot more dorky [1] — and not necessarily a favorite in my list of favorites — she seems to be sneaking a lot into my watching list (eg. I just saw her on Kiseki).

    Fan Bingbing, she’s been on my radar for a while now… and even though I’ve only seen her in one other project (My Way), a few couple of phothoshoots… I’m beginning to like her a lot more. When watching her on Buddha Mountain, I kept thinking she seems like an uber intense version of Nagasawa. LOL


  • Weibo Misses You, Shu Qi

    Netizens, you are ruining my fun way too often for my liking. It’s not enough that you’re bullying Tony Leung out of a possible dream project with Kiyoshi Kurosawa~ I’m still super sour that you bullied away Shu Qi from her usual activities on Weibo.

    You know, I used to didn’t like Shu Qi. I actually tried using a nice photoshoot photo of her, but I couldn’t pick one that I liked enough. It turns out, though, that I love Shu Qi when she’s acting- like, I can’t get enough of her. I think what made me turn around and start liking her was following her on Weibo, when she used to post things like this.

    Now she doesn’t post anything this fun and personal. Her posts are limited (since she’s been back after her Weibo pull out) to Buddha related posts. And she’s no longer receiving comments, except from people she follows.

    Okay, fine. I miss you on Weibo, Shu Qi. xD


  • Seems like it’s been a long time, Nakatani-san~

    中谷美紀ーさん、お久しぶりです。x)

    Oh, does anyone know where this is from?


  • 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. ~~~


  • 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!
