It’s around that time of the year again — a few days, give or take — it’s been 4 years since I’ve been in Yu Aoi’s fandom! Admittedly, less diligently than before… but surprisingly, still going at it.
You know FOUR is my bad luck number. Bad things happen with that number, so I’m extra crossing my fingers this year. In the meantime… here’s Yu-chan! Being Yu-chan! With some pastries~~~
In honor of their 75th Anniversary, 20th Century Fox is giving away (with the purchase of some DVDs) Limited Edition Posters of some of their classic… or not so classic films.
You get 8 to choose from~~~
This really wouldn’t work on a 2hrs broadcast, but I seriously think that CCTV should buy this for broadcast of this year’s highlights. It’d be awesome to see this on the TV. xD Like Officially, you know?
And some shots look like miniature models, right? xD
Check it out yourself here. Awesome stuff.
It was almost like the Olympics… only with tanks and soldiers xD
well, there were also many performers.
I also took my Granpa’s photograph, and put it in front of the TV.
I haven’t been able to watch the Gala yet, because well… Timezones~
Soldiers were scary… xD powerful, resounding with my surround system LOL
But most people seem to be taken back by…
First…
Glee just got a Full-Season order from Fox!!
All of this in the month when Popular is turning 10 years since it first aired.
Just next week, in fact! What a 10 year anniversary~~~
I’ve seen Popular fans on the Glee boards xD so happy~~~
LOL
Cheap Mambo #5 mention xD
Anyway~~ Here it is!!!
After much liver disease~~~
YAM005
with Yu on the cover!
Happy early Bday, Yu~
Omedetou!!
In it, you’ll read more about Harry Potter 6 (against much of anyone’s Harmonian hearts, lol), Transformers 2, Moon (yeah, that last line kills me), and Public Enemies~ Snap! There’s also DBSK concert review, SNSD (which I always get a typo), Bibi, Seo Taiji, Clazziquai, Popular and more~~~
Head over here to download~~~
I was looking back on music videos this past weekend (which, by the way marked amy-wong.com’s 4th anniversary) because I was watching Michael Jackson music videos and thinking “wow, how come I don’t like watching music videos now” – at least I don’t watch videos of most music I listen to in English, though I’m generally impressed with Asian Pop Music Videos.
When I was little, well… a pre-teen and teenage girl fuzzing about the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears with my friends at school, I began to notice director’s names. MTV (which I pretty much used to watch almost 24/7) used to show the Name of the Song + Name of the Artist + Name of Album + Name of Director. They did this until the beginning of 2002 or 2003 when the Director’s name suddenly disappeared from the credits. I dunno if it’s back, and I dunno if it was because I just went to Canada. LOL
One of the first names I noticed was, of course, Nigel Dick.
If I could describe Nigel Dick’s style of music-video-making when I was a kid, I would say “simply brilliant” – not because I was naive and didn’t really know much about the business, but because his videos were simple, but yet so full of life. Perhaps, the easiest way to show it is with a simple video such as Oasis’ Wonderwall.
WOOOOOO!! A freakin’ year~~~~
Today a year ago, I was introduced to Yu Aoi’s work on Shunji Iwai’s All About Lily Chou Chou, and the Shunji Iwai-related Rainbow Song. Little did I know that the characters that interested me the most in the films were played by the same actress. Nine days later, I watched Hula Girls, and a month later I was completely hooked with Yu Aoi, and yet another Shunji Iwai film… Hana & Alice.
