  • Experiment Awards’ 2004

    And we continue to go through the years and film~

    Some interesting observations on this one? There were a lot of GOOD male performances. I guess it’s by years, but I thought it was so tough to choose my Best Actors this time.

  • Request: Yu Aoi Fans – Japanese Speakers

    This is, obviously, a request post… as well as a filler post. xD

    Basically, I’m kind of tired… and lazy to “try” to translate, what I don’t get.

    So I’m asking anyone who has an understanding of Japanese, and has a small interest in Yu Aoi work to help us poor non-Japanese speakers with translations. There are all these bunch of scans out there, but none of them are translated or even commented on, so it’d be great to at least know what they talk about, right?

    Then there’s the video interviews… and then there’s some of those projects that never see the light of fansub day. LOL – So I want fans to gather here, all translation credit would go to the people translating.

    So just putting this out there…

    Leave a message, I’ll get in touch with the email you leave on the form.

  • Yu Aoi: Filmography 2001-2009

    A regular person would have 8 or 9 films, on this video you’ll get to see clips for 27 films (though a few of those are just blink and miss them, or just a still). I’ve seen most but 6 films, I think. I’m still looking for 1980, and JUKAI.

    Plus, this is the best way to choose what Yu film you wanna watch~ xD

    check post tags for movie info. some missing because they’re not on this blog.
    by the way, Ikechan looks sooooo weird. I wonder if the movie is any good.

  • Random Yu Post: Hair Like Snow

    Shameless Jay Chou plug here. I know Jay Chou has a very divisive, shall we call it fan front? There’s those who LURV him, and then there’s those who hate him, but let’s not talk about that.

    I really dig his most Chinese-styled songs, and Fa Ru Xue seems to be one of my favorite Jay songs, the La Er La part at the end is my favorite hahaha. Anyway!

    I found this most fascinating post on Yu’s hair. I mean, how can you begin to look away when the post begins with these words.

    This is perhaps the most important blog entry you will read all year. With today’s entry, things really come to a head. No, it’s not about fictitious capital and its role in the current financial meltdown. It’s bigger than that. It’s about Aoi Yu’s hairline.

    It is the most fascinating post on hair I’ve ever read, and it had to be courtesy of click opera.

  • September + Half of Oct. Films

    Well, I don’t seem to have seen many films this time.
    Hmm… I wonder why. I still haven’t made a countdown
    of the music I’ve been listening to, so maybe I’ve been
    busy with that. xD You know me, if I listen to much music,
    I don’t have the time to watch many films, and if I read too
    much, I don’t have the time to do either. LOL

    So let’s begin… (more…)

  • Early YAM006!

    So I wanted to make some time to work on those subtitles I was supposed to work on, and today is October 8th! So it’s perfect to release YAMM006, even if we are a little ahead.

    yam006_Oct09

    Thanks to Julz for working so hard on the cover story, and all those reviews. ^^

    On this  issue we review a lot of stuff, including Inglourious Basterds, Honokaa Boy, Mother, Treeless Mountain, Big Bang, G-Dragon, Arashi, BackStreet Boys, Imogen Heap, Olafur Arnalds, Chang Shilei, Juri Ueno and the Five Bags, Mad Men… Cusco Bizarro – and we even talk a bit about Glee, Dexter and House~~~

    So head over here~~~

  • First Otouto Teasing~~~

    Seriously, like I commented over at Nippon Cinema — this looks like the teaser for a teaser because it leaves me with so very little to chew on until passed January 30 next year. And I probably need to wait nearly a year to watch it.

    But I’m looking for scraps here. Yu’s film fans can’t get satisfied with pretty photoshoots, though sometimes they get a little bit distracted, film fans still know that there’s nothing announced after Otouto, so this teaser will have to do.

    not tagging this as “trailer” because I’m not satisfied. haha.

  • Meeting with the Japanese Actors

    The Japanese Cultural Center in Korea has been showing since the month of July films from 4 popular Japanese actors in Korea – Juri Ueno, Satoshi Tsumabuki, Yu Aoi… and now this month, Joe Odagiri.

    For free.

    Damn, why doesn’t Centro Cultural Peruano Japones do this?

    via this Japanese site.

  • To Watch Until They’re 30 – Yu Aoi

    I want to get over with this issue. If you visit the site, you already knew that I was going to add Yu Aoi to my list of Actors to Watch Until They’re 30, right? The issue here was which position I would place her… well, you’d be surprised to know that I didn’t place her on my #1, but she’s closed to it. She’s in fact #2 on my list based on the fact that not many people know about her outside the J-film watchers… but you (non Japanese film watcher) totally should.
