  • Madame de Sade Bits and Pieces~

    I bet you’re jealous of those who got the chance to see Yu-chan on Madame de Sade last March. I know I am… Anyway~ I guess I will be adding the photos I find of it on this post xD

  • Yu Aoi for Madame de Sade

    Look what I found!

    Yu-chan is going to be starring on the play Madame de Sade, which… I’ll just copy/paste the info I found because I’m lazy. LOL~ I know, I know~~~ But I compensate by adding all the dates on the Yu Aoi Google Event Calendar, alright?

  • From the Vault: Yu Aoi on Casting Interview at Age 14

    I always wanted to use that phrase: “From the Vault” LOL. Have I said how much I love Weibo? You find all these gems uploaded all the time. It’s amazing.

    Yu-chan was so young in this one that she didn’t even write the kanji for “sai” next to her age.

  • Hikari Mitsushima for NHK’s The Pioneers

    Oh, I guess I gotta watch NHK all day to get fed all their upcoming series — at least for January. We all knew that Kenichi Matsuyama would be doing this year’s Taiga (Time really does fly!), but who knew Hikari Mitsushima (Love Exposure [1], Sawako Decides, Villain) is ending up on NHK?

    The Pioneers, which is wayyyy easier to type than Kaitakushatachi (開拓者たち), showed a small clip while I was watching and seemed pretty good. According to Tokyograph:

    A special “documentary drama” mini-series to commemorate the launch of its BS Premium channel and the 40th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic ties between Japan and China. […]

    The story is set in the region formerly known as Manchuria and is based on the groups trying to resettle there in the years after the Manchurian Incident. The central characters are a family of four siblings who live there, but who are forced to flee due to the Soviet invasion of the region and Japan’s defeat in World War II. As a result, they return to Japan and attempt to forge a new life on a farm in the Tochigi prefecture.

    The clip looked really good. We all know Hikari Mitsushima is a pretty good actress and this seems to be one of those projects. But as anything Japanese, no clips online to embed so I stole these:

  • Rie Miyazawa for Men’s Club Magazine

    You gotta love Rie Miyazawa~

    and of course, these are my favorite shots of the shoot. I like the detail on the thumb and the watch, and the fact that she’s looking straight at the camera.

    BOY STYLE!

  • Traveling with Yu-chan and Calbee

    I refuse to believe there’s no script on this one [1]. I just refuse to believe Yu-chan is this cute in real life. And I have an urge to eat some chips, with the lack of Calbee Potato Chipusu around – I’m just gonna have to get any other chips.

    By the way, two funny CMs [KOIWEB] in like one week. Yu-chan, I know you do this on purpose.

    — EDIT —

    There’s also an Amusement Park version.

  • Yu Aoi for BEAMS’ KOIWEB: Koi o Shimashou

    Yu-chan, why do you do these? I mean, release stuff on the same day. It makes me do multiple posts, and makes this blog look hugely disproportionate. xD

    Having said that, what are these? Because they’re hilariously cute.

  • When Aoi Was Natsui

    My gosh! Look what I found on Weibo~

    At the time, Yu was only 1.50m xD

    By the way, she’s turning 26 in two days. Yu is now closer to her 30s than her 20s. O_O
