I came across an article on a Chinese website (Secretchina) that reminded me of a dream I recently had.

In 2004 a man called Hasumi caught a train at 11pm. After travelling without stop for 20 minutes, he posted on 2CH (popular anonymous forum) that normally the train would stop after 7-8 minutes, but it hadn't stopped for a while today. Some ( Read more... )

Aside from the sheer enormity of the disaster that struck Japan and the continuing aftermath, it's so moving reading tweets from Japanese celebrities many of whom continually give updates and information for their followers ( Read more... )

Japan begins its first trial by jury, which reminds me I've never managed to finish Majo Saiban ==;; Oh well, not finishing stuff is pretty typical of me XDDD

I went with jkylk to some stew/hotpot (not steamboat) place in Hurstville for lunch yesterday. The flavour's really nice, but they don't give you any vegetables, and I don't like being a ( Read more... )

I've actually downloaded Futatsu no Spica, the horrid Koishite Akuma as well as Ninkyo Helper, but I've only watched the last one ==;

Koishite Akuma seems like a Japanese version of Twilight, except made 10 times worse by the fact that there's also a teacher/student hence adult/underage romance in there, even if you say the vampire is blah blah ( Read more... )

Sometimes I profess to being a Johnny's Juniors fan. At least I know what "Johnny's Juniors" means, and can name about 10 groups under Johnny's Entertainment. I'm generally rather partial to Jdrama that stars JE artists, although that's a given element of partial. I'm fond of Arashi, I like some people in Hey! Say! JUMP and KAT-TUN (I also can't ( Read more... )

Recently, the two authors of Death Note drew in their effort together once more - but Bakuman is no intellectual thriller. Instead, it's a much more realistic story of two high school kids trying to realise their dreams of becoming a mangaka.

Even in the first few chapters, Bakuman emphasised the importance of a good editor-mangaka rapport that ( Read more... )

A news article from Sports Houchi announces L'Arc En Ciel's new song "Daybreak's Bell", on sale in October, will be the first theme song for Gundam 00.I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Contrary to popular consensus (was that a tautology?) L'Arc-en-ciel's songs have always been either "ugh" or "meh" for me ( Read more... )
