2009-05-26T07:03:00.002-07:00

[ALL+SUNGMIN] Just meet up once, get to know each other, good luck!
[SUNGMIN] Let me introduce you to this guy
He’s handsome but he’s single
He’s a good person, a loyal and true friend
[KANGIN] But he seems to be struggling with the past hurts of love, still
Will you be his shining light? Will you be his new hope?
[ALL+LEETEUK] Just meet up once, get to know each other, good luck!
[LEETEUK] He’s my most precious, best friend
[ALL+LEETEUK] May only the best memories, and the happiest love
[LEETEUK] Always be remembered
Good luck, good luck this time
(Oh, oh~ baby, my friend, oh, oh~ baby)
[YESUNG] My heart seemed impossible to love again, but love has come to me again
She is to me someone I will take care of, someone I will protect, a good person
[EUNHYUK] She will embrace into your empty chest softly, I think you really need her
How about you really try it hard this time, my friend?
[SHINDONG] Meet her up again, good luck! You two are the object of everyone’s envy. No one will make a more beautiful couple than you two in the world
[ALL+LEETEUK] Just meet up once, get to know each other, good luck!
[SUNGMIN] He’s my most precious, best friend
[ALL+LEETEUK] May only the best memories, and the happiest love
[KANGIN] Always be remembered
Good luck, good luck this time
[YESUNG] She is beautiful, and the more I get to know her, the nicer she seems
([SUNGMIN] We know. What did we tell you?) Thank you for introducing her to me
[ALL+YESUNG] Just meet up once, get to know each other, good luck!
[ALL] Meet up, get to know each other, good luck!
[SUNGMIN] He’s my most precious, best friend ([EUNHYUK] Oh, my friend) ([YESUNG] Hey, best friend)
[ALL] May only the best memories, and the happiest love
[LEETEUK] Always be remembered, good luck
[YESUNG] Good luck this time
[ALL] Just meet up once, get to know each other, good luck!
He’s my most precious, best friend
[LEETEUK+YESUNG] May only the best memories, and the happiest love
[YESUNG] Always be remembered
Good luck, good luck this time. I’ll do my best, this time

Good luck

It seems like Chun just updated his blog again , this month on the 6th and in both Chinese and English. I guess he figured out that he has many Taiwanese fans who can’t read English, dud, what does he expect, he’s a Taiwanese idol.

(Korean: 슈퍼주니어)

2009-05-26T06:03:00.000-07:00

Super Junior (Korean: 슈퍼주니어), also known as simply SJ or SuJu, is a thirteen member Kpop boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. The group initially debuted with twelve members on November 6, 2005 with the single, "TWINS (Knock Out)". The original twelve members, from oldest to youngest, are Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Kibum. On May 23, 2006 SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Kyuhyun, making them the thirteen member group they are today.

Many of the members had already pursued an entertainment career before Super Junior's debut through acting, DJ-ing, and modeling. Most members have been actors, MCs, models, or DJs prior to debut. Heechul, Siwon, and Kibum made their debuts in dramas and films. Leeteuk, Yesung, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk made cameo television appearances and became active DJs or MCs after debut. Hangeng made his first media appearance as a model.

Super Junior China

2009-05-26T05:53:00.000-07:00

Super Junior China was renamed Super Junior M, standing for Mandarin. I suppose that any attempt at other Chinese dialects are out of the question? They will release an album called 迷 (fans?). And they will appear on 非常大明星 on April 10th.

I suppose the line up is still the same, and what I’m thinking right now is…what about Kibum?

Furthermore…

Henry attended SM’s talk with MIT students along with Donghae and Siwon. Fun.

Heechul will be getting rhinoplasty because of his recent laser surgery induced fall. Hmm…

Super Junior will also have their first fan meeting in Japan sometime in July.

Sushi AeNO AsaKusa

2009-05-13T04:56:00.000-07:00

Andy would call it a ‘Tuna Bomb’ as it was purely different types of Tuna. I ate it sitting around the table where the chefs make the Sushi and also where the fish tank was. I felt the fish in the tank give me very strange looks as I swallowed their cousins (all except the dead one floating upside down). I think I broke every Sushi eating rule whilst in there (like not dipping the rice into the soy and biting into a piece and then not eating all of it). I was too busy wondering if ‘elbows on the table’ was also looked at with dismay.

This morning I went to the Tokyo National Museum in Ueno to check out some Japanese ceramics, Buddhist sculpture, samurai armour and swords. It was pretty good, lots of things to see, there’s 5 different buildings each with different things in, this is a picture of the main building (Honkan) that is devoted to Japanese art -
I took my brand new camera but then realised I had left the battery for it at home!! DOH!!!! So I went back to get it and headed for Asakusa to go and checkout the Sensoji Temple. I went a bit camera crazy here, so here are some highlights. This is the road that leads up to the Sensoji Temple, can you spot the guy with the face mask? -
This is a side road in Asakusa, this Taxi pulled into shot out of focus but it gives the back of the shot a nice feel -

Choco Pearl, Yang Baru Dari Breadtalk

2009-05-13T04:31:00.001-07:00

Bagi para penikmat coklat, siap-siap dimanjakan dengan produk baru dari Breadtalk. Tepatnya kemarin, (29/11/2007), bertempat di Grand Indonesia, Jakarta Pusat, butik roti pertama di Indonesia ini meluncurkan kreasi terbarunya yang sebagian besar bahannya terbuat dari coklat. Produk yang diberi nama Choco Pearl, merupakan perpaduan antara cita rasa black forest yang lembut dengan topping saus pudding coklat.
Dikemas dalam mangkuk mungil, tampilan Choco pearl dihiasi dark dan white chocolate, serta potongan strawberry segar, pastinya menggugah selera untuk mencobanya. Dengan harga Rp. 14.000/pc, anda dapat menikmati dessert dengan cita rasa full of chocolate creamy.

Yang istimewa dari Choco Pearl ini adalah krim coklat spesial yang diimpor langsung dari Belgia, yang dikenal sebagai negeri penghasil coklat berkualitas terbaik. Untuk menciptakan kreasi coklat yang berkualitas, tim speasialis Breadtalk bekerja sama dengan produsen coklat Belgia untuk menemukan formula yang baik, sehingga tercipta coklat yang tahan pada perubahan suhu (tidak meleleh saat panas dan tidak cepat membeku).
Selain Chocho Pearl, Breadtalk juga memperkenalkan produk baru lain berupa pie berlapis, yaitu Pink Float dengan filling selai strawberry segar dan Bluw Swing dengan filling selai blueberry.

Tiga produk baru ini, khususnya Choco Pearl, sengaja dibuat untuk menyambut Natal dan Tahun Baru, dan diharapkan dapat menemani suasana hari raya yang hangat bersama keluarga dan orang-orang terdekat.

Breadtalk

2009-05-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

My heart skipped a beat when i saw it from afar. Deep down, I thought “no way man!”, it couldn’t be. As i approached it nearer and nearer, the sight of the two pure white kitchenaid further excited me. And the name was just the perfect icing on the cake, The icing room! The pinkish-white colour domination which so reminded me of Twelve + one, with the adorable ornament, everything was perfect, until i spotted the name Breadtalk on one of the cake box.
Boy, the coup de grâce was performed when i then noticed the Chinese name, Dan gao si yu, which was so Breadtalk (mian bao wu yu), and a branch of Breadtalk and toastbox just beside it. Now don’t get me wrong, I have totally nothing against Breadtalk. It’s just that i wasn’t expecting Breadtalk to behind the icing room concept.
When i thought the stagnant Breadtalk is down and out, they managed to turn the table around and pulled a rabbit from the hat. Voila! You’ve to give credit to Mr. George Quek and his team for coming out with this, although the icing room has yet to prove itself, they managed to capture me on the first impression, and that’s all it mattered.
The idea which i always had in mind, a place to do-it-yourself cakes. This, is one very good idea. The crowd surrounding the store gave a very good indicator, for just $11.90, they provided you with a small cream cake, and you get the pleasure to decorate your very own cake on the spot. Its that simple, no need to buy ingredients, no need to get your hands dirty, and no need to wash up.Like what the chef there mentioned, “It’s like fulfilling a child’s dream”. I’ll like to add something to that, i bet adults would also love to play with the cake, a very nice gift for your loved ones.

boards for Bread Talk

2009-05-13T04:18:00.000-07:00

When I interview her, we are sitting in front of the café’s display case. She points at the flimsy metallized boards which the cakes unceremoniously sit on. The boards are wrinkled and are beginning to curl up, like an over-the-hill cabaret dancer about to lift her flouncy skirt one last time. “A big selling point of companies now is the presentability of their products,” she begins, speaking almost pensively. “And when your packaging looks like that, you might not necessarily order that cake because of the condition of the cake board.” She shrugs. “But then again, it could be subliminal.” I look at the boards (and the cakes!) with new eyes and nod my head slowly. She has a point there. The cakes are beautiful, but the boards they stand on could use some work.

2009-05-13T04:15:00.001-07:00

Recently, Starbucks Malaysia introduces Breakfast, which is already popular in many other countries especially in the States. Unlike the States, Breakfast in Malaysia has only three options — “Tomato, Basil & Cheese”, “Sausage, Egg & Cheese”, and “Mushroom, Tomato & Cheese”, all served warm on toasted Ciabatta bread.

Breakfast @ Starbucks is only available at Starbucks Coffee stores in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor only. And for a limited time only (until April 30), you get a free cup of coffee for any of these three

Coffee with steam

2009-05-13T04:09:00.000-07:00

Moments after picking up a venti vanilla latte from a St. Petersburg Starbucks, Sam Maston removed his cup's cardboard sleeve to inspect a message printed beneath.

"America's national debt is now $7.5-trillion, and it's skyrocketing, even as America's population ages," the cup read. "There will never be a better time to start paying off this crippling debt than today."

The quote, from environmentalist Denis Hayes, didn't faze the 29-year-old Maston.

"I'm a pretty hardcore Democrat," said Maston, who wore a black rubber wristband bearing the words I DID NOT VOTE 4 BUSH. "I think they should put that stuff on there."

Not everyone agrees.

The Seattle coffee chain has raised some eyebrows over its "The Way I See It" campaign, which prints quotes from thinkers, authors, athletes and entertainers on the side of your morning machiatto. The goal, according to the company, is to foster philosophical debate in its 9,000-plus coffeehouses.

The quotes aren't all that inflammatory, though several mirror Starbucks' hallmark tall-grande-venti pretentiousness. Take this one from film critic Roger Ebert: "A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it."

The problem, critics say, is the company's list of overwhelmingly liberal contributors, including Al Franken, Melissa Etheridge, Quincy Jones, Chuck D. Of the 31 contributors listed on Starbucks' Web site, only one, National Review editor Jonah Goldberg, offers a conservative viewpoint.

Considering Starbucks sells millions of cups of coffee each day - some specialty drinks at $4 and up - it's no surprise some customers have complained to Starbucks' Web site, labeling the campaign "offensive" and the company a proponent of "the destruction of family values and virtues."

"I want to enjoy your product without having Earth Day Network propaganda thrust at me," wrote Malachi Salcido of East Wenatchee, Wash.

Yvette Nunez, a 27-year-old Republican from Tampa, said she hadn't noticed the quotes on her weekly caramel machiattos. On "tall" cups, the text is obscured by a cardboard sleeve.

"There are a lot of great conservative quotes, but oh well," she said. "I'm not surprised. I'm used to being under-represented."

coffee...there's nothing quite like it is there?

2009-05-13T04:05:00.000-07:00

As I was sipping my coffee at the Starbucks around the corner...I realized...there is something about Starbucks that makes you feel, well...good.

No, more than good.
Great.

The atmosphere at a Starbucks makes you feel quite luxurious. The decor is subtly soothing, and for some reason you feel like nothing else really matters right now, because I've got my coffee.

Ok I know this sounds strange. But think about it...why can't people start their morning off without their coffee? Caffine. Caffine gives you energy. When we feel energetic, we feel like we can do anything. And come on..doesn't it make you feel great knowing that you can order any crazy drink that you want? You can get a venti non fat half caff no foam tripple shot cafe mocha with whipped cream? And they dont even batt an eyelash!

I don't know about you, but that screams 'power' to me.

And to me, I feel like this kind of an attitude is a great way to start your day. What's better than feeling like you can conquer the world first thing in the morning? And all from a little cup of steamy goodness.

Add a chocolate chip muffin...and game over...

Starbucks is now offering a new service for their hordes of over-caffeinated followers in North America. Using your cellphone or other mobile device you can send a text message with your zip code to "MYSBUX" and you'll received back the address and phone number of your three nearest Starbucks.

If that wasn't enough, they've also created a specially formatted locator to fit on the small screens of web enabled devices like Treos and Blackberries. The store locator link on their website will reformat automatically for your screen and show you nearest stores, closest WiFi stores, maps, directions, etc. This service is also linked to in-car GPS navigation systems.

Starbucks is promoting this new service by offering a free cup of mediocre coffee to all customers in US stores between 10 am and noon on March 15th.

he islanders in the bars are cool - They look like a cross between Jamaican rastas and captain Jack sparrow - corrals and animal bones adorn the wooden bars which are only meters from the sea.

As you walk along the shore in the evening with BBQs blazing and fairy lights hanging from the branches of trees your ears are greeted (and very often offended) by music ranging from on-hold muzak to Thai rock - It’s all so unfinished, trying to find its way as a resort without a long history - you can feel it as you pass the different smells, sounds and sights which aren’t yet fixed and hence have had no chance to become stale. The place is like the hermit crabs we watched scuttling on sunset beach, the tiny ones in shells smaller than garden peas, not yet big enough for that beautiful conch mansion but trying on new outfits along their sideways paths nonetheless.

A few long tail boats chug across the otherwise perfect quiet of the day. With a book in hand your only worry is, “Am I hungry?, thirsty?” - “Think I might lie in the water” - “Oh I just dropped off”

We took a jungle walk to sunset beach on the other side of the island which was even more remote than Pataya (There’s Sandra with the pool to herself)

super junior main film

2009-04-28T05:44:00.000-07:00

dramasia.com, Korea - Kalau menyebut nama SM Entertainment, pasti yang diingat adalah sejumlah artis yang bernaung di bawah manajemen grup tersebut mulai dari Kang Ta, BoA, SES, Dong Bang Shin Gi, hingga Super Junior.

Setelah Vacation yang menampilkan Dong Bang Shin Gi, kini giliran Super Junior, yang belum lama ini ditimpa tragedi, yang siap dilejitkan. Tidak main-main, seluruh personilnya minus Kyuhyun bakal tampil dalam film yang diberi judul (sementara) Flower Guy Terror Event Series.

Dalam film bertema komedi tersebut, dikisahkan tentang seorang blogger bernama Ki-bum yang mencatat sejumlah kejadian mengerikan yang terjadi setiap tanggal 14 setiap bulannya. Secara kebetulan, kejadian-kejadian tersebut melibatkan nama-nama seperti Si-won, Kang-in, dan Hee-chul yang masing-masing memegang jabatan penting.

Ketika dimintai komentar soal film layar lebar yang bakal dirilis dalam waktu dekat tersebut, perwakilan SM Entertainment mengaku optimis debut SuJu tersebut bakal sukses. "Film ini bakal memfokuskan tentang para personil Super Junior dan tidak ada aktris utamanya."

"Didukung dengan kru yang hebat, Flower Guy Terror Event Series bakal menjadi film yang sangat berkualitas." Yang pasti kalau untuk penggemar SuJu, yang paling utama adalah bisa melihat Choi Si-won, Kim Ki-bum dkk. Bener gak???(soompi/blg/meimei/minivicki/mdL)

Minum kopi lebih dari tiga cangkir sehari dapat membantu untuk memperlambat penurunan daya ingat kaum wanita berusia lanjut, demikian menurut sejumlah periset Perancis.
Laporan para pakar Perancis itu Senin (6/8) mempertegas alasan mengapa kaum wanita menyenangi minuman paling populer di dunia tersebut. Sayang, kaum pria tidak memperoleh manfaat sama seperti apa yang dialami para wanita dari minuman itu, kata mereka.
“Lebih banyak kopi yang diminum, akan lebih baik khasiatnya bagi fungsi ingatan (teristimewa bagi kaum wanita),” kata Karen Ritchie di Institut Penelitian Medis Nasional Perancis, yang karynya muncul di jurnal Neurology.

Para periset itu yang diikuti 7.000 pria dan wanita di tiga kota Perancis, memeriksa kesehatan mereka dan fungsi mental dan menanyai mereka tentang kebiasaan makan dan minumnya, teman mereka dan kegiatannya sehari-hari. Mereka menggunakan informasi ini untuk mengetahui peran spesifik caffeine di dalam kehidupan para wanita tersebut.
Mereka menemukan bahwa kaum wanita yang meminum lebih dari tiga cangkir kopi seharinya - atau zat caffeinenya setara dengan yang terdapat di dalam teh - lebih terpelihara kemampuan verbal dan daya ingat visualnya.

Para wanita itu memiliki suatu kemungkinan 33 persen lebih rendah mengalami penurunan kemampuan verbalnya dan penurunan kemampuan daya ingat visualnya, jika dibanding dengan para wanita yang hanya meminum satu cangkir kopi setiap harinya.
Pengaruh itu juga bergantung pada usia, dengan wanita yang berusia di atas 80 tahun, maka dia akan memperoleh lebih banyak manfaat meminum lebih banyak kopi setiap harinya jika dibanding dengan wanita yang lebih muda 10 sampai 15 tahun, kata tim Ritchie dalam laporannya itu. Tidak diketahui pasti apakah ada perbedaan mengkonsumsi kopi yang sekarang ini atau yang sebelumnya.

Beberapa studi yang dilakukan atas tikus menunjukkan bahwa caffeine kemungkinan menghambat penumpukan protein yang menyebabkan penurunan mental. Ritchie tidak tahu pasti mengapa pengaruh itu hanya bermanfaat pada kaum wanita.
Rara-rata orang Amerika meminum satu atau dua cangkir kopi seharinya, demikian menurut Asosiasi Kopi Nasional. (ap/rtr/ant)

Prestasi super junior

2009-04-07T17:27:00.000-07:00

Di tahun inilah pucak keemasan Super Junior dimulai. Single “U” yang dirilis dengan formasi lengkap 13 personel iniberhasil menembus rekok dengan 400.000 download hanya dalam tempo waktu 5 jam dan melonjak menyentuh 1.7 juta download yang mengakibatkan crash server.
Setelah kita dimanjakan dengan gaya youthful yang fresh dalam Miracle, Super Junior bermetamorfosis, memuaskan para fans-nya. Lewat tembang yang mengusung genre urban kontemporer, pop dance dan rap ini, Super junior bertransisi lebih dewasa dalam image yang bernuansa “preppy” style yang lebih flamboyant dan berhasil menyabet 7 penghargaan dalam berbagai anugrah music yang dihelat di Korea Selatan. Popular song, Best New Group, dan berbagai penghargaan lainnya.
Di tahun ini jugalah official fans club yang menamakan diri mereka E.L.F terbentuk, ELF yang merupakan singkatan dari Ever-Lasting Friend yang berarti ” selamanya bersama Super Junior “ dan ditetapkannya warna Pearl Sapphire Blue sebagai warna maskot Super Junior.
2007-2008 : Don’t Don
Dari semua lagu Super Junior, mungkin lagu inilah yang mendapat tempat no 1 di Ipod-ku. Komposisi lagu yang komplit menurutku menjadi nyawa dalam single Don’t Don. Gitar Elektrik di bagian intro mampu memberikan nuansa Gothic dengan pas menjadi satu bagian yang tak terpisahkan dengan gerak tarian yang dibawakan para personelnya dengan begitu kompak. Unsur suara violin Henry Lau yang diselipkan dipertengahan lagu menambah atmosfer style yang berbeda dalam lagu ini.
Lagu ini sukses mengawinkan irama music Hip - hop, R&B, Rap yang modern dengan tabuhan African Djemba yang tradisional. Image Super Junior pun kembali diubah menjadi lebih dark Mature dan punk Rock dengan gaya rambut blonde retro dan tato tempel. Transisi luar biasa ini bisa dilihat dari potongan rambut Sungmin yang new look ( potongan poni samping cepak ini konon menginspirasi Aming extravaganza melakukan hal yang sama dengan rambutnya >0<) Kibum dan Kang in dengan potongan Buzz -cut-nya. Han Geng dan Kyuhyun dengan Blonde hair, Perut six pack Shiwon yang semakin sexy, Heechul -pun melepaskan kesan Cinderella glamour dengan rambut merah menyala.
Don’t Don, berhasil meraih predikat sebagai best selling album dan menutup tahun 2007 dengan gemilang. Namun, tahun 2007 mungkin merupakan tahun yang tidak mungkin dilupakan oleh Super Junior dan para ELF. Sebuah kecelakaan maut terjadi pada 19 April 2007. Van hitam yang ditumpangi mereka tergelincir setelah roda bagian depan pecah, kemudian terbalik menghantam sisi kanan jalan dan mengakibatkan 4 personel Super Junior cedera dan terluka parah. Eetuk, Eunhyuk, Shindong dan Kyuhyun, menjadi korban dalam kecelakaan naas pada dini hari setelah keempatnya pulang dari acara SUKIRA ( Super junior Kiss in Radio )
Dari keempatnya, Kyuhyun-lah yang mendapat cedera paling parah dan hampir merenggut nyawa. Karenanya dia di istirahatkan total dari kegiatan Super Junior selama 5 bulan. Dan akibat kecelakaan ini jugalah Kyuhyun yang dijadwalkan tampil sebagai pemain basket dalam film Attack on pin up boys terpaksa absen, dan peran tersebut di estafetkan kepada Han Geng.
Untungnya Kecelakaan tersebut tidak sampai membuatnya absen dalam rekaman single Don’t Don. Profesaionalitas dan kecintaannya terhadap Super Junior diperlihatkannya kepada semua orang. Dalam kondisi yang belum stabil, Kyuhyun berhasil menunaikan tugas, menyanyikan bagian lagunya yang diplot menyambung dengan part Shiwon di refrain kedua dengan indah

Sehari menjelang acara J-Shock di Jerman, JaME berkesempatan mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan kepada An Café.

Seperti yang mereka lakukan pada konser, An Café mengenalkan diri mereka pada awal wawancara di Jerman. Sebuah awal yang baik untuk wawancara kami, terlihat band ini memberikan beberapa pendapatnya tentang langkah awal mereka di Eropa.

Helo dan selamat datang di Jerman! Bagaimana kabar kalian?

Miku : Helo! Penerbangannya agak membosankan, tapi semuanya baik, karena saya duduk bersebelahan dengan Satoshi, penyanyinya girugämesh dan kami ngobrol banyak hal.

Apa yang kamu rasakan tampil pertama kali di Eropa?

Miku : Kami sangat gembira diperbolehkan tampil disini. hall-nya juga cukup besar!
Ketika kami mendapatkan undangan, kami memang sudah siap untuk tampil di luar negeri, jadi waktunya benar-benar tepat!

Apa yang kalian harapkan dari para fans Eropa pada pertunjukkan kalian di J-Shock?

Miku : Oh, saya harap semua orang dapat bersenang-senang selama kami tampil!

Setelah Bou keluar dari An Café, semua orang mengira bahwa kalian tentunya akan mendapatkan seorang gitaris baru. Apa yang membuat kalian mengambil keputusan untuk merekrut juga seorang pemain keyboard ke dalam band?

Teruki : Seorang gitaris baru bukan untuk menggantikan Bou, ini benar. Meskipun pada awalnya kami berpikir akan cukup hanya dengan mendapatkan seorang member di band.
Karena kami sering menggunakan sound keyboard, Miku menyampaikan idenya untuk mencari pemain keyboard tetap untuk bergabung ke dalam band, supaya lebih professional dalam bermusik.

Lalu seperti apakah reaksi dari para fans terhadap Takuya dan Yu-ki?

Teruki : Para fans sulit menerima hal yang terjadi dengan Bou, salah satu member penting dari kami telah keluar. Begitulah pada awalnya kami mendapat tanggapan dingin. Saya rasa, karena penampilan kami dengan Takuya dan Yu-ki dan juga karena bakat mereka, pelan-pelan mereka dapat diterima.

Takuya, apakah An Café adalah band pertamamu, atau kamu pernah main di band lain sebelumnya?

Takuya : Ya, benar-benar band pertama saya. Di masa sekolah saya bermain di band L’arc~en~Ciel-cover , tapi saya rasa itu tidak masuk hitungan.

Sebuah pertanyaan untuk member ‘lama’ dari band – bagaimana kamu kenal Takuya dan Yuuki?

Miku : Setelah kepergian Bou, kami mulai mencari musisi baru secara tidak resmi, kami menghubungi beberapa sekolah musik dan membayar orang untuk main bersama kami.
Karena kedua audisi mereka itu ‘klop’ dengan kami, segera saja kami mengajak mereka bergabung ke band.

Umumnya kalian di panggung dan selama promosi, tidak memakai nama asli. Kanon contohnya diambil dari judul manga “Maki Kusumuto Kiss”. Darimana nama samaran member lainnya berasal?

Miku : Saya mengambil nama saya secara kebetulan dari seorang artis. Yang lainnya memakai sebagian dari nama asli mereka.

Bagaimana Donald Duck bisa menjadi maskot kalian dan mengapa kalian membuatkan sebuah lagu (Duck no Magical Adventure) untuk nya?

Miku : Saya dapat menirukan suaranya dan saya sering melakukannya terus menerus. Dan kemudian yang lain muncul ide untuk memasukanya kedalam sebuah lagu.

Album kalian, Magnya Carta akan tersedia di Jerman setelah tanggal 26 Juni. Apakah kalian berencana melakukan perilisan di Eropa atau Jepang dalam waktu dekat?

Teruki : Untuk saat ini kami belum ada rencana untuk merilis di Eropa, tapi jika penjualan Magnya Carta disini cukup baik, kami akan pikirkan lagi soal itu. Di Jepang kami akan merilis single baru Kakusei heroism ~THE HERO WITHOUT A 'NAME' pada tanggal 22 Agustus.

Apa pendapat kalian tentang kalau ternyata kalian menjadi terkenal di luar Jepang melalui internet? Atau video streaming di You Tube contohnya, apa menjadi masalah untuk kalian?

Miku : Saya senang jika semua orang dapat mendengarkan musik kami dan melihat video kami!
Teruki : Saya melihat diri saya di YouTube dan awalnya saya pikir hanya fans Jepang saja yang bisa melihat videonya. Tapi sekarang saya tahu bahwa banyak fans kami yang mengenal kami melalui website video.

Awal tahun 2005 band ini tidak begitu sukses, dan sejenak kalian berpikir untuk bubar. Apa yang membuat kalian memutuskan melanjutkan An Café?

Miku : Oh kamu sangat tahu! Ya, kami pernah berpikir akan berhenti, namun sayangnya – An Café bukan hanya sebuah band, tapi Cafekko (the fans) adalah bagian dari band. Juga, kesulitan dalam menulis lagu itu sendiri serasa akan sia-sia....

Akhir-akhir ini kalian menandatangani kontrak dengan label Loop Ash meskipun nyatanya kalian sangat terkenal. Apakah kalian lebih suka sebagai band indie atau berpikir untuk ke major label?

Miku : Kami tidak begitu peduli apakah kami indie atau major, tapi kami senang bergabung di Loop Ash. Nyaman untuk kami dan kami berteman baik dengan bossnya.

Banyak fans yang tahu tentang musik kalian, tapi mereka tidak mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mengenal kalian melalui wawancara. Jadi, apa pendapat kalian tentang satu sama lain?

Miku : Teruki adalah bapak dari band, dia orang yang serius, tapi meskipun begitu dia bernafsu sekali di setiap proyek.
Kanon : Ya, dia seperti sebuah rem, tapi dalam hal positif, dengan ide-ide yang tegas dan sebelum mengambil keputusan besar dia menahan kami dan membuat kami selalu berpikir tentang segala sesuatunya sekali lagi.
Takuya: Dia seorang yang sederhana, jadi tak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan dengan band.
Yu-ki : Ya, ketika ada sesuatu yang sepertinya sama sekali tidak mungkin, Teruki mengatakan dengan jelas "Tidak!"

Kanon : Saya ingin mengatakan soal Miku! Miku seperti memiliki sebuah tombol di kepalanya. Pada saat dia nyalakan, dia segera mendapat motivasi, tapi juga mudah sekali cepat mati dan kemudian dia tidak ada motivasi.
Teruki: Dia mempunyai sifat dewasa dan agak kekanak-kanakan. Tapi dia dapat bertanggung jawab dengan baik.
Yu-ki: Hmm...Dia juga mengerti perasaan orang lain, dan memperlakukan orang lain dengan baik.
Takuya : Saya rasa dia mempunyai aura yang baik!

Teruki : Kanon sangat artistik, dia punya banyak ide. Takuya seorang yang perfeksionis dan cinta dengan gitar!
Miku : Yu-ki sangat baik. Saya rasa dia juga mengerti orang lain dan bisa bergaul dengan siapa saja.

Terakhir, Tolong sampaikan pesan kalian untuk para fans kalian di Jerman dan di sebagian dunia lain!

Teruki : Saya sangat menantikan pertunjukkan, dan saya rasa kami siap untuk kembali!
Miku : Ya, sama saya juga dan saya ingin mengatakan saya cinta Caffekko Jerman seperti fans di Jepang! Ah, fan club internasional nampaknya akan bagus, ya?
Kanon : Saya cinta kalian!
Yu-ki : Akhirnya kami disini, saya telah menunggu ini lama sekali!
Takuya : Saya harap kami bisa melihat kalian bukan hanya besok, tapi juga di masa mendatang !

-----------
Kami ucapkan terima kasih untuk An Café, Gan Shin, Loop Ash dan semua orang yang membantu wawancara ini.

SUPER JUNIOR HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY ^________^. My apologies for not updating on the actual day, but as the saying goes, better late than never.

Despite knowing them for just under than a year, they have totally changed my way of life this year. Getting know SuJu not only introduced me to these THIRTEEN cracktastic boys men, but the also led me into the wonderful world of KPOP. Since February this year, my computer now contains 320 files of Kpop, with almost 100 of them being SuJu’s music. That’s a whopping 1/3 of my Kpop obsession! I cannot say that I was with them and supporting them from the beginning, but I am proud to say that I am a fan of theirs, eight months along the track, and will continue to be so eight months into the future. My first exposure to them was through SUJU FULLHOUSE and continued to enjoy their spastic behavious in EHB.

Super Junior, YOU’RE MY ENDLESS LOVE and you and your music will always ROCK THIS HOUSE. I BELIEVE every day of your life with each other is FULL OF HAPPINESS and that your SUCCESS is all due to your hardwork. Whether other people HATE U, LOVE U, you will always shine in my eyes. Although this year has been MISSIN’ YOU as THIRTEEN, I THANK YOU that you were more exposed as individuals in your sub-groups. Whenever I am feeling down, AT LEAST THERE’S STILL YOU; your songs and your appearances in variety shows make my day SUNNY once again. My MIDNIGHT FANTASY consisting of YOU & I will remain with me always and I hope one day I will be able to sing a SONG FOR YOU. And SO I conclude this message for you group of WONDER BOYS, wishing you GOOD LUCK for the future, and to remember that your fans L.O.V.E you.

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin (Joo Ji Hoon), is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin’s grandfather.

After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul (Kim Jeong Hoon) appears all of a sudden. He is Shin’s cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae-kyung’s optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae-kyung’s relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure? (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Goong)

The drama starred Yoon Eun Hye (Coffee Prince, Vineyard Man) as the princess, Shin Chae-kyung and Joo Ji Hoon (The Devil, Antique Bakery) the crown prince Lee Shin. This was the first drama for both of them. This drama also starred Kim Jeong Hoon (Witch Yoo Hee, and formerly from the group UN) who played the crown prince’s cousin and rival Lee Yul and Song Ji Hyoo (Sex is Zero 2) who played the ballerina and Shin’s ex-girlfriend Min Hyo-rin.

The reason why I liked this drama is because of its light hearted story. The story is fictional as kings and queens are no longer ruling Korea. It had the right amount of drama and the right amount of “kilig” moments. Also I loved the soundtrack of this drama as their songs really fit the story (though I had to google the meaning of the song ). The song Perhaps Love, is probably my favorite Korean song — i love the melody and its lyrics. I also liked the way they ended the episodes, teddy bears depicting the scenes of the episodes. Seeing those teddy bears makes me want to go to the teddy bear museum which (surprise surprise) is in Korea. Until now, I am still watching the my goong videos and I never get bored of them

It is a little difficult to find streaming videos of Goong online as this drama is a licensed one. So you could either buy the original DVD (which is sold online) or you may go to this site.

Since I have uploaded the song Perhaps Love, I will be uploading all the others later..

This drama is a must see, especially if you’re a beginner with the Asian addiction.

In Japanese cuisine, sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓 ?) is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, dishes.[1] In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an archaic grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, “sushi” means “it’s sour”.[2]
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or algae) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし).

An Cafe adalah sebuah grup band berstyle oshare - kei (turunannya visual kei) asal jepang yang dibentuk pada tahun 2003 di bawah label indie Loop Ash.
Band an cafe (singkatan dari antique cafe) didirikan oleh gitarisnya yang bernama Bou. Bou kemudian merekrut Miku sebagai vokalis setelah Miku setuju menerima tawaran Bou untuk ngebuat band dengan tema cute and entertaining. selain merekrut Miku, cowok yang selalu berpenampilan feminim ini, juga merekrut Kanon untuk dijadikan pemain bass. dan tak lama kemudian, setelah merilis demo perdananya dengan judul Oopungu, Mereka bertiga mengajak Teruki untuk gabung sebagai drummer yang baru saja keluar dari band sebelumnya, Feathers Blue.
An Cafe memulai debut tahun pertamanya dengan manggung dibeberapa live show tanpa merilis single. Di tahun 2004, Setelah menandatangani kontrak dengan label musik dengan Loop Ash, An Cafe merilis single pertamanya berjudul Candy Holic pada bulan Maret dan meraih peringkat 2 di Oricon indies single chart. Band ini melanjutkan konser tour dan merilis beberapa single seperti v69, Komou Cosmos, Karakuri Hitei hingga tahun 2005. di pertengahan 2005, An Cafe hampir bubar karena fansnya yang tak kunjung bertambah bahkan menurun jumlahnya sehingga memutuskan untuk merilis 3 single dengan konsep trilogi yang dalam setiap single hanya terdapat 1 lagu yang masing - masing dibuat PVnya yaitu Tekesuta Kousen, Escapism, dan Merry Making. usaha untuk menggaet fans sebanyak - banyak tidak sampai disitu saja. bahkan An Cafe membuka Cafe sendiri dengan nanma Blue Jau Way dimana setiap pengunjung boleh memesan minuman yang langsung dibuatkan oleh personel An Cafe. Usaha merekapun tidak sia - sia. Maka dibulan November An Cafe merilis album perdananya bernama Shikisai Moment.Ditahun 2006 setelah sebelumnya mengadakan berbagai konser dan merilis beberapa single seperti 10’s collection March, Bonds ~kizuna~, Smile Ichiban li Onna, dan Snow Scene, band ini kembali merilis album yang kedua berjudul Magnya Carta (plesetan dari Magna Carta).
Ditahun 2007 tepatnya pada 17 april, Bou memutuskan untuk cabut dari An Cafe. hal ini membuat para cafekko (fans an cafe) sangat sedih. setelah pendiri An cafe tersebut keluar dari band, dua personil baru an cafe diumumkan yaitu : Takuya yang menggantikan Bou sebagai gitaris, dan Yuuki sebagai keyboardist yang sempat menjadi additional player An Cafe. bersama personil barunya, An Cafe merilis single Kakusei Heroism ~A Hero without a name~ disusul dengan Ryuusei Rocket di akhir 2007. single Kakusei Heroism ~ A hero without a name~ merupakan single yang dijadikan theme song anime Darker than Black dan berhasil meraih peringkat 13 Oricon majort charts. Awal minggu 2008, An Cafe kembali merilis single Cherry Saku Yuuki
Band an cafe ini mengusung musik yang cukup unik yaitu alternatif pop rock yang cenderung ceria dan jauh dari kesan dark. terlihat dari gayanya yang memadupadankan visual kei dan pop harajuku yang biasa dikenal dengan Oshare Kei (Oshare = stylish, Kei = Gaya). karena konsep awal mereka itu being popular jadi kebanyakan lagu mereka itu lagu yang pop dan ceria sehingga lagunya mudah dicerna dan gampang disukai waktu pertama kali dengar.

Ignoring the awkwardly worded English title, this is a short (17 episodes) and contained love story. The main premise is a little hokey and straight out of Tootsie:
The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"? (from DramaWiki)

ILJIMAE

2009-03-10T06:20:00.000-07:00

Judul: Iljimae (2008)Episode: 20Pemain: Lee Joon Ki, Han Hyo Joo, Lee Young Ah, Park Shi Hoo
Berlokasi di jaman dinasti Joseon, Ryung seorang berandalan yg tak berguna setiap harinya berkeliaran di pasar, tapi saat malam tiba Ryung berubah menjadi seorang pencuri budiman bagi rakyat jelata.Setiap kali habis mencuri, Ryung selalu meninggalkan sebuah tanda bunga sakura merah pada tempat yg dia curi. Rakyat menyebutnya Iljimae.
Ryung bertemu dengan Bong Soon seorang gadis yg ceria, punya keahlian berkelahi dan bekerja sebagai penipu. Bong Soon amat mencintai Ryung tapi Ryung terlanjur mencintai Eun Chae, seorang gadis anak bangsawan yg bertemu saat Ryung masih kecil.Cerita jadi bertambah rumit kala masa lalu Ryung yang kehilangan ingatan satu persatu mulai terbuka.
——–
Oreo’s point of view:Kelar nonton Hong Gil Dong, Oreo langsung lanjut nonton Iljimae. Tadinya mau membandingkan nih, bagusan mana sih Hong Gil Dong or Iljimae?
Mulai dari menit pertama, episode pertama, Iljimae itu.. menarik!! Bikin orang ga bisa berhenti lanjut and lanjut terus sampe akhirnya sadar2x eh, uda malem :lol:Cerita dibuka mulai dari masa kecil Iljimae, biasanya model flash back kae gini bikin sebel kan? Tapi ternyata engga loh. Itu anak2x kecil, Iljimae kecil, Bong Soon kecil, Eun Chae kecil, dari yg baek sampai Shi Wan kecil yg jahat, Oreo angkat jempol deh! Aktingnya bagus banget!
Cerita bergulir ke masa remaja Iljimae, disini nontonnya jangan ditinggal yah, banyak flash back, tapi ga ngebosenin. Plotnya bagus, ga kedodoran di tengah, ga lari dari inti cerita, lucu, sedih, tragis, mengharukan, lengkap de. Sedia tissue aja yg banyak :))
Sama spt Hong Gil Dong, Oreo kembali angkat jempol buat semua casting Iljimae. Bagus! Terutama buat Lee Jun Ki (kudu work-out dikit nih), Park Shi Hoo dan Lee Moon Shik (jadi ayah angkat Iljimae). 3 orang ini bener2x bagus ekspresinya.Yang kurang di Iljimae ini cuma dua, pertama: romance. Jadi, kalo pingin nonton cerita kuno Korea yg ada romancenya, mendingan liat Hong Gil Dong. Kedua: pemeran wanita. Bukan karena akting mereka yg jelek, engga. Tapi lebih ke cerita yg bergulir antara Iljimae, Eun Chae dan Bong Soon (ini nonton sendiri aja yah..)Oh, satu lagi: sempet cape juga liat Iljimae yg blom jago bolak balik digebukin :D
Iljimae lebih fokus ke “one man shows” adegan adu ilmunya seru banget! Oreo sampai kagum loh, soal adu pedang, serial silat mandarin kan no. 1, tapi ini bisa2xnya Korea bikin serial yg adegan fightingnya kae film silat! Dari semua adegan fighting, Oreo paling suka liat adu ilmunya Ryung dengan Shi Hoo (kakak tirinya), ini bagus banget, penuh emosi, keren, duh puas de liatnya.
Kostum: kostum siapa nih? Lee Jun Ki (Iljimae)? Jelas keren! Kostum yg lain: biasa de, yg cewe pake hanbok, yg cowo yah pake baju tradisional juga.
Scenery: bagian penting nih. Oreo selalu suka liat scenery yg bagus2x kalo nonton film. Favorit Oreo disini adalah pohon plum-nya Iljimae dan Eun Chae! Bagus banget, apalagi kalo bunganya lagi berguguran.And.. bagian terpenting :D adalah… : ending! Sebelum memutuskan nonton, Oreo selalu cari tau endingnya dulu. Ending Iljimae, bisa dibilang “open ending” bisa disambung, bisa engga, terngantung keinginan yg nonton aja. But, soal ending Iljimae, Oreo sih ga kecewa. Tapi setidaknya.. kalau bisa.., bikin ending yg tuntas dooooonk.. :D

Japanese video game company Spike will be releasing a new Twilight Syndrome game called Twilight Syndrome: The Forbidden Urban Legend for Nintendo DS on July 24, 2008 which will be a precursor to two live-action movies continuing the series.
This will not be the first time Twilight Syndrome has been adapted to a live-action film. In 2000 Kenzou Maihara directed Twilight Syndrome: Sotsugyou, starring a young Wakana Sakai. In that film Sakai played one of a group of girls who attempt a ritual to summon ghosts as a goof. Of course it works, and she ends up having to figure out how to get rid of the evil spirits that show up to kidnap her friends.
As you can probably tell this is not a series that hangs its hat on new or unique ideas. Each story is self-contained and involves some sort of supernatural dabbling by teenagers who quickly get in over their heads by messing with things they don’t understand. The new films will continue that trend, but with the complete drought of cheesy teen idol J-horror in the past few years it’s nice to see something come out that may hearken back to the glory days of the late 90s/early 00s when fodder like this was being released on a weekly basis. I suppose it was too much of a good thing at the time - but J-horror kept western DVD-buyers interested in Asian cinema like nothing else has since, and anything that helps get back to that level of interest would be a good thing.
Twilight Syndrome: Dead Cruise, directed by Takeshi Furusawa (Ghost Train), will be released on August 2nd. Six honor students go on a senior cruise, but Eri (Saki Terashima), a vindictive bullying victim, brings along a strange game that has the ability to trap her classmates in an alternate reality. The game can’t be reset, so they have to somehow finish the game to escape.

Dalam acara tersebut,mereka membawakan single debut mereka yang berjudul TWINS ( Knock Out ) dan mendapat sambutan hangat dari para penggemar musik negeri ginseng tersebut.

Setelah itu, sebagai pemanasan, mereka menggebrak dunia musik Korea dengan perilisan single CD yang memuat lagu TWINS, You are the One, dan 3 lagu tambahan yang dirilis pada tanggal 8 November 2005. Yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan perilisan album pertama mereka SUPERJUNIOR05 (TWINS) tak lama setelahnya.

Setelah sukses dengan single Show me Your Love, pada febuary 2006 Super Junior 05 kembali merilis single terbaru mereka. Singel kedua yang diambil dari album TWINS, yang berjudul Miracle.

Dong Bang Shin Gi memang merupakan fenomenal tersendiri di dunia musik Asia khususnya Korea, dan hal itu bisa dilihat dari pencapaian prestasi mereka yang diperoleh lewat kerja keras.

Setelah tur keliling Asia yang konon telah disaksikan oleh sekitar 400 ribu pasang mata, berita terakhir yang dilansir SM Entertainment menyebutkan kalau pemesanan album Korea terbaru grup yang lebih dikenal dengan singkatan TVXQ itu telah mencapai 200 ribu. Gilanya lagi, albumnya sendiri baru akan dirilis di akhir tahun 2008.

Pemesanan lebih awal alias preorder sendiri bukanlah hal yang ganjil di dunia musik Asia khususnya Jepang, Korea, dan Taiwan. Untuk kasus grup yang dibentuk tahun 2003 tersebut, 10 ribu adalah angka awal di album pertama untuk preorder sebelum kemudian melesat di Rising Sun (130 ribu) dan O (yang baru dua hari sudah meraup angka 100 ribu).

Angka 200 ribu diperkirakan bakal terus meningkat dengan signifikan karena sudah setahun lebih sejak grup yang digawangi Xiah Joon-soo, Micky Yoo-cheon, Hero Jae-joong, Max Chang-min, U-know Yeon-ho itu tampil di hadapan publik negeri Ginseng akibat kesibukan konser dan konsentrasi meniti karir di Jepang.

Yang menarik, peraih Golden Disc Awards, diberikan pada artis yang memiliki penjualan album terbanyak, di tahun 2007 silam `hanya` mencatat perolehan sekitar 150 ribu. Karena itu bila menyimak dari pemesanan yang sudah dilakukan, tidak mengherankan bila banyak yang optimis bahwa album terbaru TVXQ mampu meraih angka yang berkali-kali lipat. Apalagi, masih ada kejutan tambahan yang telah disiapkan.

Menurut kabar yang beredar, versi Korea dari tembang Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara (yang merupakan dari singel di album berbahasa Jepang) bakal dimasukkan kedalam album keempat TVXQ. Fighting!!!!!

Resident Evil is a wildly popular, story-driven shooter. Because the producers loved the game and its fans so much, they decided to make a movie vaguely-sorta-kinda based on the first game in the series, BUT… with an entirely new protagonist. Not exactly inspiring sounding, eh?

An outbreak of a deadly virus at the Umbrella Corporation’s top secret research facility under Raccoon City turns everyone there into a Zombie (I’m not making the names up, honest). One bite and you are zombified. Our heroine, Alice (Milla Jovovich), is also genetically altered in some way by the evil Umbrella Corp and is found in an amnesic state by the obligatory investigating soldiers. Zombies are discovered and much wackiness ensues, forcing our heroes to fight their way to the surface, discovering Alice’s nasty secrets along the way.

Zombies are a big hit with the makers of video games because they are slow and plentiful, providing players with superior Kills Per Minute (KPM), thereby increasing the fun of the game. Unfortunately, zombies have been done to death on the big screen, with nothing really living up to Romero’s stuff except for Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later.

Jovovich spends much of the movie in a party dress, which I guess is to compensate for her character not being very memorable otherwise. There is another strong female lead named Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) and a couple of weak male parts. While the idea of dual female leads is puzzling enough, it is the character of Alice which baffles the most. In the first installment of the video game series, the ass-kicking female heroine is Jill Valentine. Why they didn’t just fashion Jovovich’s character after Jill Valentine is a real head-scratcher.

A variety of red shirts are thrown in and are julienned, zombified, eaten… whatever. A love interest of sorts is included, little is made of it. Even a homicidal computer is encountered. Naturally, it presents itself as a little holographic English girl because little holographic English girls are sooo scary! My guess is they knocked off the screenplay for this sucker in a weekend over a case of beer. They started with the script for Aliens, added a dash of Dawn of the Dead and said, “Hey, let’s call this Resident Evil ’cause it has Zombies!”

So now we get to heart of matter. Trying to keep up to Aliens is hard enough, but trying to outdo Romero at the same time? It’s a hell of a thing to ask of contrived material such as this, but if you absolutely must start with a story which has been done a bunch of times before, you really need more than a skimpy dress and a bunch of doomed GIs. You need to come up with characters which resonate with the audience, a new way of telling the story and an interesting outcome. Resident Evil doesn’t do this. In fact, there is very little in it to distinguish it from any other action movie. The special effects aren’t particularly memorable, the dialog isn’t particularly witty and the story is fairly predictable. Even the monsters aren’t especially original. But the worst of all is the underdeveloped, unmemorable characters. The Resident Evil games are all about the characters. This failing of the movie is particularly inexcusable.

Allow me to sum up the movie in one sentence: Our heroes must escape from an underground laboratory filled with zombies and they die one by one until a few get out. Is the main route blocked? Yep. Are we running out of ammo because there are so many bad guys? Yep. Do we have to crawl through the vents? You better believe it! You’ve seen it all before folks, and it was done better in Aliens. In fact, go to the classics section and rent Aliens. It may be be twenty years old, but it’s still a better film.

members of Korean pop group TVXQ! are the new faces of Lotte Duty Free Shops (DFS).

A Lotte DFS representative explained, “TVXQ! is a well-known group all across Asia, so we believe that they are the most suitable choice as spokesmodels of Lotte Duty Free Shops.”

At the beginning of this month, TVXQ! shot the advertisements for Lotte at a studio in Seoul with photographer Kwon Young-ho. These ads will be released in November, which is also when the K-pop group begins participating in various events sponsored by Lotte DFS.

TVXQ!’s comeback to the Korean music industry will be on September 24th, following the early release of “Mirotic,” the title track to their fourth album.

2009-02-07T19:04:00.000-08:00

Bagi pecinta lagu-lagu Jepang pasti tau kan Laruku alias L'arc en Ciel. Ni aQ kasih tau sejarah berdirinya ni band. Simaklah......

Berawal pada tahun 1991 di Osaka. Tetsu dan Hiro, berniat membentuk sebuah band. Mereka mulai mencari personil dengan melihat penampilan indie dari satu live house ke live house lain. Bertemulah mereka dengan Hyde yang saat itu masih menjadi gitaris sebuah band bernama Kidies Bombs, Kidies Bombs sedang mengalami perombakan personil, sehingga Hyde harus menjadi vokalisnya. Hyde yang ingin menjadi gitaris, merasa tidak percaya diri menjadi vokalis. Namun ia tetap mencoba untuk bernyanyi [walau sesekali sambil bermain gitar], Kidies Bombs kemudian berganti nama menjadi Jerusalem’s Rod.

Saat Tetsu menonton konser Jerusalem’s Rod, Tetsu tertarik untuk merekrut Hyde sebagai vokalis bandnya. Lalu Tetsu pun makin sering mengikuti aksi manggung Jerusalem’s Rod, seakan ia fans beratnya. Sarnpai akhirnya, ia mendapat nomor telpon Hyde, la menghubungi Hyde dan memintanya untuk rnenjadi vokalis. Tetsu pun mengundang Hyde dan Pero untuk jam-session bersama. Hyde kemudian memutuskan untuk mundur dari Jerusalem’ s Rod dan bergabung dengan Tetsu. Sedang kan Pero langsung mengiyakan, Februari 1991,terbentuk sebuah band bernama L’ Arc en Ciel dengan Hyde sebagai vokalis, Hiro sebagai gitaris, Tetsu sebagai bassis, dan Pero pada drum. Nama L’Arc-en-Ciel (ラルクアンシエル, Raruku An Shieru?, “the rainbow” in French) diambil dari bahasa Perancis yang berarti ‘ an ark in the sky’, (sok tau gitu deh gue). Oleh orang Jepang, sering disingkat menjadi ‘Laruku’. Tetsu menemukan nama ini dari judul film Perancis yang ditontonnya. la berpikir nama ini sangat menarik, namun ia tidak tahu artinya. Akhirnya Tetsu pergi ke toko buku dan mencari kamus bahasa Perancis. Melihat artinya adalah rainbow, Tetsu makin mantap akan nama ini. Siapa yang menyangka nama ini merefleksikan karir L’ Arc en Ciel yang sudah berjalan lebih dari 15 tahun. Dan Laruku menjadi salah satu band rock Jepang tahun 90-an yang masih eksis hingga kini. Mereka memulai dengan manggung pada live house. Dari penontonnya yang hanya 2 hingga 300 orang saja, Pada 30 Mei 1991, Laruku menggelar konser perdananya secara indie di Osaka Nanba Rockets.

Di Jepang sendiri ada mitos yang mengatakan ‘ Jika ingin sukses menjadi band rock, mulailah menjadi band indie yang berpenampilan visual ‘. Nama-nama grup indies yang muncul pun berbau nama-nama Eropa. Laruku akhirnya terbawa dalam tradisi ini. Mereka iampil visual layaknya androgyny dengan kostum gaun, make up tebal, lipstick merah. dan sentuhan nuansa mediteranian. Alhasil, banyak penonton yang mengira vokalis Laruku seorang wanita atau gay. Namun sang pemilik live house yakin’ Hyde adalah pria sejati’, la berpendapat suara Hyde sangat atraktif dan kuat. la yakin sekali suatu saat nanti Laruku akan menjadi band yang besar. Sejak saat itu, mereka mulai terkenal di kalangan kornunitas indie. Tawaran manggung mulai berdatangan, dari berbagai kota. Akhirnya Laruku mulai mengembangkan ‘ sayap’ dengar menggelar tour keliling Osaka.

Oh... Iya, Sekedar informasi di Indonesia sendiri penggemar Laruku udah banyak banget... kebanyakan di kota2 gede di pulau jawa. Sayangnya di Balikpapan peminat laruku sangat jarang di temui. entah mengapa...
Satu hal yang membuat saya bertanya-tanya adalah...

Kenapa Iman (voc Jrocks) hampir mirip dengan Hyde (voc Laruku) jika dilihat dari gayanya dan penampilannya (tapi ttep kerenan Hyde kok). Apakah Hyde meniru Iman atau Iman meniru Hyde atau mereka saudara kembar...???

Film yang berjudul twilight ini termasuk film yang saya tunggu tunggu setelah terhasut sepupu saya yang berkoar-koar tentang novelnya (akhirnya saya baca juga sampe buku kesekian ) Hehehe.. Menurut saya film ini terlalu biasa. Kurang membekas di hati saya ketika selesai menonton film ini. Terlalu banyak detail yang hilang. Memang sulit menerjemahkan sebuah novel menjadi film layar lebar yang hanya berdurasi 2 jam saja. Tapi lumayan baguslah.. menyenangkan juga menonton film ini, atau imajinasi saya saat membaca novelnya yang kelewatan?

Ini dia perbandingan imajinasi saya dengan yang ada di film. Menurut saya (lagi lagi), Edward di film ini kurang ‘vampir’ banget.. uuh..terlalu banyak detail dan momen Edward dan Bella berdua yang di skip (ini yang membuat Edward kurang ‘vampir’). Walaupun saya puas dengan karakter Emmet dan Rosalie tapi Alice dan Jasper sangat tidak sesuai dengan bayangan saya. Alice di bayangan saya rambutnya lebih panjang dan lebih hitam. Jasper harusnya berambut hitam dan jauh lebih tinggi dan lebih cool. Esme harusnya lebih cantik daripada itu.. dan harusnya lebih muda! (bukannya lebih tua Edward daripada Esme ya?). Carlisle Cullen… COOL!!

Adegan James hunting harusnya juga lebih tegang dan lebih horor. Lagi - lagi banyak momen dan detail yang terlewat disini. Di bayangan saya film ini bakal keren, gabungan genre action, thriller dan romantic drama. Aaahh.. ternyata imajinasi saya terlalu parah. Endingnya sih agak kurang sesuai dengan novelnya, tapi gak papa.. saya lebih suka ending filmnya. Karena Victoria-nya si James belum tewas, saya sih berharap ada lanjutan dari twilight. Karena novel lanjutannya lebih seru ceritanya. Sekuelnya dijadiin film juga gak ya?

Bagi yang belum nonton.. silahkan nonton.. bagus kok.. sesaat ada efek yang membuat kita serasa a-be-ge lagi. Hohoho.. Tips dari saya.. hindari posisi tempat duduk deket penonton a-be-ge wanita. Gurauan, gumaman, decakan dan tepuk tangan mereka sangat menggangu.. Hih!

DEATH note

2008-12-02T19:43:00.001-08:00

Sebenarnya ini film lama tapi baru kepikiran buat posting disini. Film ini adalah film produksi Jepang yang diangkat dari sebuah manga yang ditulis oleh Tsugumi Ohba dan ilustrasi oleh Takeshi Obata. Manga ini menceritakan tentang Light Yagami, seorang siswa jenius yang secara kebetulan menemukan Death Note milik shinigami (dewa kematian). Direalisasikan di majalah Shonen Jump dari Januari 2004 hingga Mei 2006 dengan total 108 bab. Versi tankoubonnya terbit sebanyak 12 jilid dan 1 jilid spesial yang berjudul How to Read 13 yang berisi tentang penjelasan dan profile tentang Death Note.

Manga

Manga ini menceritakan tentang Death Note (catatan kematian) yang terjatuh di dunia manusia. Dengan Death Note ini, seseorang bisa meninggal dunia karena serangan jantung
dalam 40 detik setelah namanya dituliskan oleh seseorang didalam Death
Note. Manga ini telah dibuat versi layar lebarnya, dan sedang digarap
versi animenya.

Manga ini memiliki beberapa perbedaan cerita antara versi anime dan layar lebarnya.

Layar lebar

Dalam versi layar lebarnya, Death Note dibagi menjadi dua bagian, yaitu Death Note dan Death Note The Last Name.

Cerita Death Note berawal ketika Ligth Yagami (Raito Yagami)
menemukan sebuah buku yang ternyata milik Shinigami bernama Ryukk
(Ryuku). Di dalam Death Note milik Ryuku, terdapat cara menggunakan
Death Note yang ditulis olehnya sendiri. Death Note ini kemudian
digunakan untuk mewujudkan idealismenya yaitu untuk menciptakan dunia
baru yang bersih dari kejahatan, dengan dirinya sebagai Dewa.

Kemudian Death Note ini dia gunakan untuk membunuh para kriminal.
Mendapatkan data para kriminal dari televisi maupun mencuri data
kepolisian pusat (ayahnya, Shouichiro Yagami adalah seorang polisi).
Ternyata tindakannya ini mengundang berbagai reaksi, baik dari
masyarakat, para petinggi Jepang, bahkan dari para petinggi
internasional. Kebanyakan masyarakat setuju dengan tindakan pembersihan
dunia itu, namun para petinggi tidak menyetujuinya karena tindakan
tersebut bertentangan dengan Hak Asasi Manusia.

Tidak hanya itu hambatan yang ditemui Raito (yang dijuluki Kira,
sebutan untuk Killer dalam dialek Jepang) untuk mewujudkan dunia yang
bersih, dia juga harus berhadapan dengan L yang selanjutnya dikenal
dengan nama Ryuzaki (nama aslinya sampai akhir cerita tidak diketahui).
L adalah seorang detektif profesional muda bertaraf internasional yang
hanya bergerak di belakang layar. Setelah bertemu L, jalan cerita
"Death Note" menjadi semakin menarik (ditambah dengan munculnya Kira II
dan Kira III dalam versi manganya).

Dalam versi layar lebarnya, tokoh Raito Yagami diperankan oleh aktor muda Tatsuya Fujiwara, sedangkan tokoh L diperankan oleh Kenichi Matsuyama.

Perbedaan Manga dan Layar Lebar

Perbedaan mendasar antara versi manga dengan versi layar lebarnya
adalah dalam versi manga, L kalah dan mati dan kemudian digantikan oleh
N (Near) dan M (Mello), namun dalam versi layar lebarnya L dapat
mengalahkan Light namun tetap berakhir dengan kematian L.

Secara keseluruhan, film ini memiliki pesan moral bahwa terkadang hukum dunia tidak sama dengan hukum yang sudah digariskan oleh takdir. Terkadang hukum dunia berkesimpulan sesuatu hal itu kejam namun tidak demikian dengan hukum takdir atau sebaliknya.

Hanya ada satu yang mengganjal dari film ini, mungkin karena ingin mengambil setting Jepang jadi semua yang ditulis di Death Note adalah kriminal atau tokoh politikus di Jepang. Padahal kalau mau lebih seru (ini versi saya lho hehe) kenapa gak memanfaatkan Death Note lebih internasional hoho….you know what I mean?

TVXQ (sering bergaya TVXQ! Atau TVfXQ), sebuah akronim untuk Tong Vfang Xien Qi (东方神起), adalah kwintet Korea Selatan anak band dibentuk di bawah SM Entertainment pada tahun 2003. In South Korea they are known as Dong Bang Shin Ki or Dong Bang Shin Gi (동방신기). Di Korea Selatan mereka dikenal sebagai Dong Bang Shin Ki atau Dong Bang Shin Gi (동방신기). They were later introduced in Japan as Tōhōshinki ( 東方神起 ^? ) under Avex sub label, Rhythm Zone in 2005. Mereka kemudian diperkenalkan di Jepang sebagai Tōhōshinki (东方神 ^{Tōhōshinki?)} Di bawah Avex sub label, Rhythm Zona pada tahun 2005. Their name roughly translates as "Rising Gods of the East". ^{[ 1 ]} TVXQ, the acronym based on the Chinese counterpart of their name, is the abbreviation officially used on all products and advertisements outside of Japan. Kira-kira menerjemahkan nama mereka sebagai "Rising Timur dari Tuhan". ^[1] TVXQ, yang berdasarkan akronim Cina pendamping dari nama mereka, adalah singkatan resmi digunakan pada semua produk dan iklan di luar Jepang.

Since their debut, TVXQ has become one of the most popular singing groups in East Asia, gaining great popularity in such countries as China , Singapore , Thailand , and other East Asian regions. ^{[ 2 ]} . Sejak mereka debut, TVXQ telah menjadi salah satu kelompok bernyanyi paling populer di Asia Timur, mendapatkan popularitas besar seperti di negara-negara seperti Cina, Singapura, Thailand, dan lain Asia Timur daerah.

Musik gaya

Although TVXQ was initially marketed as an a cappella group, most of the group's music is mainstream K-pop and J-pop . Meskipun pada awalnya TVXQ dipasarkan sebagai sebuah cappella grup, sebagian besar grup musik utama adalah K-pop dan J-pop. Their debut single "Hug" was a bubblegum pop song, but their follow up single "The Way U Are" was a dance/R&B number, complete with stylized outfits and choreographed dance moves. Mereka debut tunggal "peluk" adalah permen karet yg bisa menggelembung pop lagu, tetapi mereka menindaklanjuti tunggal "Cara U Apakah" merupakan tari / R & B nomor, lengkap dengan bergaya Papua tidaklah sehitam choreographed tari bergerak. However the song of their first album, '믿어요(I Believe...)', was a ballad . Namun lagu dari album pertama mereka, '믿어요 (Aku Percaya ...)', adalah nyanyian. TVXQ concluded the year with a Christmas album that also had an a cappella version of " Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring ". TVXQ menyimpulkan tahun dengan Natal album yang juga memiliki sebuah cappella versi "Jesu, Joy Man's Desiring". With their releases in 2004, the group showed a versatility in style. Dengan mereka rilis pada tahun 2004, grup memperlihatkan ragam dalam gaya.

With consecutive releases, they have not moved from this formula, as their second and third albums have had a similar mixture without moving outside of the mainstream. Dengan rilis-turut, mereka belum dipindahkan dari rumus ini, sebagai album kedua dan ketiga memiliki campuran yang sama tanpa bergerak di luar dari mainstream. The second album's singles, for example, included a dance song (their first release) and a ballad (their follow up). Kedua album Jadi, misalnya, termasuk tari lagu (pertama mereka rilis) dan nyanyian (mereka menindaklanjuti). The third album's releases have been dance, ballad and pop tracks. Ketiga's rilis album telah tarian, nyanyian dan lagu pop. The group also recorded a cappella tracks for official albums released in both Korea and Japan, in which they rearrange original songs as a cappella versions. Grup juga tercatat cappella lagu untuk album resmi dirilis di kedua Korea dan Jepang, di mana mereka ulang lagu asli sebagai cappella versi. In the 13th single released in Japan, TVXQ arranged their debut single 'Hug' as an a cappella track and performed it in their 2nd Live Tour in Japan. Pada 13 tunggal dirilis di Jepang, TVXQ diatur mereka debut tunggal 'peluk' sebagai sebuah cappella melacak dan dilakukan di 2nd Live Tour mereka di Jepang.

In Japan, the group's image and music has shifted towards a different market from the one in South Korea. Di Jepang, grup musik dan gambar telah dialihkan ke arah yang berbeda dari satu pasar di Korea Selatan. Owing to their more mature fan base in Japan, TVXQ has gravitated towards a cappella and melodic pop songs rather than the heavy and fast pop tunes, coupled with intensive dance choreography, that are commonly seen in their usual hits in South Korea. Karena mereka lebih dewasa kipas dasar di Jepang, TVXQ telah gravitated terhadap cappella dan melodi lagu pop lebih berat dan cepat pop asalnya, digabungkan dengan koreografi tari intensif, yang lazim dilihat pada mereka biasa hits di Korea Selatan.

HigH sCHOOL MUsiCAL 3

2008-12-02T04:13:00.000-08:00

High School Musical 3: Senior Year opened in theaters yesterday. We have had the date marked on the calendar for weeks but once we found out it was the same day as Late Night with Roy, we let Hailey decide which one she wanted to go to on Friday. Hailey wisely chose Late Night since it only happens once a year and we could go to HSM3 today.

I’m not sure who the biggest fan of HSM3 is in our house. Hailey (age 6) chose to be Hannah Montana for Halloween even though there were plenty of HSM costumes to choose from so I would not say she was the biggest fan. Leah (age 3) told me yesterday that she likes HSM more than Hannah Montana because she “loves Gabriella and Troy.” As for me, I loved HSM and HSM2 and was really looking forward to this movie. The fact that I got irritated at my kids anytime they distracted me from the movie probably means that I would win the biggest fan title. If I was in middle school, I would have a picture of Zac Efron on my wall.

With a budget that was $6.3 million more than the HSM2 budget, Disney really went all out with this production. The sets were incredible and at times made me feel like I was in the audience of a hit Broadway musical. The choreography is amazing and the songs are catchy as always. I dare say it is impossible to sit through the movie without once tapping your feet or fingers or moving your head to the music.

I have read reviews about it being too sweet and corny…ummm, hello!!…it is DISNEY and it is rated G! What did you expect? In a time when even the television shows about high school regularly feature sex, drugs, and high school, it is a relief to have a non-animated movie series that I can watch with my children.

Hailey’s favorite part of the movie was when Troy kissed Gabriella. Leah’s favorite part was when Troy gave Gabriella flowers. I guess I am raising two romantics. They come by it naturally. My favorite part is when Troy reveals his future plans at the end of the musical. His speech actually brought tears to my eyes…yes I know it is pitiful that someone my age would get teary over a movie about high school…so sue me.

The chemistry between Zac and Vanessa (they are very much in love and involved in real life) makes you pull hard for Troy and Gabriella to make it as a couple in the movie. And because I love Troy and Gabriella so much, I hope Zac and Vanessa are able to stay together as well.

Ultimately, this movie is about moving on after high school and the decisions you have to make. It is about being your own person and believing in yourself and your dreams for your future, about stepping out from under the shadow of your parent’s expectations for your life and making the decisions that are right for you.

I believe this is the best of the three movies and I had no problem with letting my children see it. There is slightly more kissing in this movie (of course, that isn’t saying much since there was no kiss in HSM and only one kiss at the end of HSM2) but no more so than in other Disney films. In our house, we call “those” misses “movie” kisses…because Leah did try to give us open-mouthed kisses after seeing Enchanted.

If I had money to burn, I’d go see it again tomorrow. We will absolutely be buying the DVD as soon as it is released!
