For those of you who didn’t know, Kobukuro has just released a brand new album (CALLING), which I’m not necessarily loving… but that’s a tough job to pull considering how awesome ALL SINGLES BEST was as a compilation.
Anyway…
SPAZZ! There’s a new article over at Barks.jp with a couple of
photos of Yu on the CM for the new album…
also with a new interview.
French-dub!!!!
*burst out laughing*
You know how I feel about dubbing, but this is just too much. xD
Plus, Yu-chan voice-over acting skills, promoting LG (Korea or International?),
and she even manages to mention gohan (food) and ke~ki (cake) – How? Dunno~

I thought I would also post this today, beginning of August!
Crap! Does time pass by f aster as you get older??
Or is the Earth turning faster than before? xD
I made this wallpaper sized 1680×1050 with calendar and Yu’s 24th B-day
all marked and really, with cheesy Japanese scribble by Amy included~~~
Also, hopefully… in two weeks time, YAM005.
If you haven’t read previous YAM issues, do so over here.
Woah, long time no Yu posting! LOL
xD
I dunno if anyone’s seen this, but it’s a discovery for me.
Je detest lire, et ecrire en francais aussi.
Les accents, je les detest!
lol
Anyway! From H Magazine~~~
KOMIKKU06
Manga mitai ni Ikitai
Something like Comic’06 – Living (or I want to live) like Manga –
or Manga-looking Life. LOL’ Japanese is all about interpretation xD
Tekkonkinkreet is one of my fave Yu projects~
I know, I know… I’m being lazy.
By the way, by the time of posting this, I’m probably away taking photos at a concert. This is a scheduled post because I wanted Maggie Cheung as the first post for a little longer… xD
I usually post one thing per post, but there’s too much Yu to post –
all via aoinohoho’s Yu-dedicated JP blog.
dozou~~~
First!
Rumors that NHK’s future 2011 (I know, I know… so far ahead) Taiga drama (a la Yoshitsune, Atsuhime) would be centered around three sisters… The Three Asai Sisters (?). They throw in some names like Masami Nagasawa and Aya Ueto, but seem positively (?) more thrilled to throw in Yu’s name xD – though you know, it IS a Google Translate.
Me on the other hand… I loved Atsuhime… a strong female who moved the pieces in this game of life. That may have had to do with the high ratings the show got alongside the writing, and production values. So the prospect of Yu on a Taiga drama thrills me. For one thing, I will be able to watch her once a week on my TV for a year. LOL – but then, that will mean a decrease on films… *eek!*
Second!
Apparently (this is old old news), FRaU Magazine had a list Yu’s 10 Best Films~
Some interesting choices there!
3 films in English made it to her list…
A very international one… actually, a two-part film project titled Ten Minutes Older, divided into The Trumpet and The Cello. (2002)
And the rest are Asian… though I’ve only heard of Sway (with fellow Joe Odagiri), which I wanna watch.
and third!
aoinohoho uploaded this 9min video of… Yu talking about a book? Book reading?
[iframe src=”https://www.tudou.com/v/GIK0Jvglz5w/v.swf” width=”480″ height=”400″]
Oh yeah, and did I mention my mom loves Yu? She told me that tonight… again. LOL
Once again, aoinohoho!
Not long ago Yu appeared on Fuji TV’s Our Music~
It’s very telling of me, but I only understand when Yu talks about food.
Daikon mochi??? xD Not my fave, but I think my mom likes it…
though they don’t make it like they used to, according to her xD
*EDIT*
Found a new upload on Youku~
Part 1 & 2
subs request?
[iframe width=”480″ height=”400″ src=”https://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTI1NzU2NDQ4/v.swf”]
I posted this a while ago.
Now I found out that there’s a Hong Kong version – VCD and DVD Region 3 – with subs (sadly no extras), which I’ve decided to purchase. I would’ve chosen the Taiwan Free region edition, but I decided to get the HK version instead because I had found other product reviews for the releasing company, and I couldn’t find anything on the Taiwan company.
DVD reviewers, please review the DVD and not the movie!
In any case, I will be reviewing the product once I get my hands on it.
Also on my order? Bibi’s Time – China version which includes a Bibi Photobook and DVD!!!
ZOMG! I had to get it… short PB with album with dvd! Less than $20!
I couldn’t resist…
I will be reviewing that too.
More Yu
Over at the Yu Aoi LJ Comm, there are brand new scans with an interview title “All About Yu Aoi” [insert Lily Chou Chou reference in here]. Scans are okay-ish size for photos… but knida makes it difficult to read or “try to read” as I call it. Plus, they have watermarks that make it even more difficult for me to try to get kanji xD
Sucks to be me.
Anyway, I did manage to get some of the titles and sub headings to get myself an idea of what’s going on here.
It goes something like this…
Likes, dislikes and the Actual Me
All About Yu Aoi
It has to do something with her success as an actress, and… her happy face (???) but yet precocious nature? xD – What’s the deal? “Now, we all know “All About Yu Aoi””
Pun intended. LOL
Then, I think… they talk a bit about her views on this beautiful world (?), how awesome it is to work with Kyoko Koizumi (referring to the Gakuya play), how awesome (or how it makes her happy?) to have Scone in the mornings. As well as… opinions on Love? (Koi, Ai… Suki and Aisuru) – Ecological issues? ~~~ ?
Something to do with movies and journies and searching? And wait, wait… funny part.
とにかく食べることが大好き （笑）。
Tonikaku taberu koto ga daisuki (wara?).
I generally love to eat (laughs).
LOL. I can get that.
ANYWAY. Any proper translation would be welcomed! ^^
Months ago I blogged this NHK 10 min. segment on Yu’s favorite book. Tabi o Suru ki? – Google translates it as “Tree Travel”? – Well, YouTube user kaurismaki uploaded the 10min. not long ago. It would be AWESOME to get this subbed =D even though you don’t see much of Yu, but the segment seems to have a good feeling. Very serious.
Once again, a request to get this translated! It would be awesome to hard-sub this. ^^
xD
behold!
I saw the making of this CM for Kirin titled “The First Surf Ride” thanks to aoinohoho~~ Have you guys all seen the Kirin CMs?? They’re pretty funny, and super cute. Anyway~
I was wondering if anyone had scans for Yu’s Vogue Taiwan… like good scans, I tried searching online but many are auctioning the issue O.O – seriously. – That’s my request! =D Any fashion fans that have the issue, you too are being requested xD
ANYWAY! Making of courtesy of aoinohoho below the break~
