My first thought when I saw the poster of Johnnie To’s new film is: it’s Christmas. *credit as tagged I love Johnnie To’s work from his Andy Lau-Sammi Cheng films like Needing You and Love on a Diet to his triad Election 1 and 2, but my favorite is Breaking News, perhaps because I can…
A Japanese friend (non-Arashi fan) sent me a virtual gift one time when she returned to Tokyo from a trip in South America. A photo of Arashi’s JAL advertisement welcoming people at Narita. I have mentioned before that Arashi makes fun PVs… but their commercials are also something else. This one’s the latest from JAL:…
Thanks to Weibo (credit as tagged), I see a lot of photos from Matsumoto Jun’s butai (stage play) with the strange title of Ah Wild Field. Did something get lost in translation? Or should there be an exclamation mark (with all due respect Jay Chou) at the end of the title = Ah Wild Field!…

I bought these packs of KitKat during a recent trip to Manila in orange and mint flavors. I know they’re not even close to the strange flavors that Japan comes up with. According to this Wikipedia entry, there are 101 flavors available in Japan, with a few of them available in other countries, like boring…
I don’t really watch individual dramas of Arashi members except my ichiban MatsuJun. I watched the last part of Riida’s Kaibutsu-kun because Matsujun was a guest and I’m quite curious about Sho-kun’s Quiz Show but I never got around to watching it. So Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato De is the first non-Matsujun Arashi drama…
Dear 狗, This photo does not count. According to Jay Chou’s challenge to you guys, it should be him and Hannah Quinlivan doing face time with your cameras. Not his back saying hello to your lens. Life for Jay right now may be so crazy with you following him everywhere. Not that he’s not used…
