Okay... reading Singapore Straits Times these days is interesting because it seems that they have been going overdrive on their Jay Chou coverage from the time of his two-night concert there last month to his recent Kung Fu Dunk promo.

This is another funny article that pokes fun at Jay's habit to mumble and more than that, the reporter got to tail him and be in his private suite even for just a few seconds! This is her account.

I found this really hilarious piece on Jay Chou written by a Singaporean guy... rolling myself in laughter at work this morning. Article taken from The Straits Times.  The title says it all. (Reminder: a good dose of humour required to appreciate the article.)

Obviously, I cannot post such a long entry in my vox so I'm posting the article that appeared in The Korea Herald here. Thanks again everyone who helped me with the story.

Haven't posted in a long while as I'm spending more time in my vox. But I just love this pic (taken from Asianfanatics), the original boys who suck me into the whole Asian pop thing. They've obviously grown up (especially Ken... he has grown...big) and so have I, but they--and Meteor Garden--will always have a special place in my Asian pop culture fan life. And that despite intrigues and rumours that they don't get along, they still come together like this. And whether it's F4 or JVKV...who the hell cares?

In the female category, I only know three: Rinko Kikuchi (tied for first place with Sayuri Yoshinaga), Hikaru Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki.

aren't you bored with me?



Takuya might be asking that, but then again, maybe not.
For the 14th time, he's been voted by anan magazine as its fave male celebrity.
No TK, we're not bored with you. Never.

Bad plot.
Bad script worthy of cringing every nano second.
But I'm still watching it.

Ayu and Nagase have split up. And I thought they were getting married!
Break-ups are always sad. Even if it isn't mine. Even if I'm not their fan.

According to the Tokyo Graph, everyone's favourite Chiaki-senpai and Nodame will be back next year. And a two-night special will be dedicated to episodes set in Pareeeeee. Yes, Nodame Cantabile is coming back! More doses of Chiaki-senpai's dorkiness and Nodame's clueless cuteness. And the music but of course!




Japan's first quarter drama line-up looks exciting, especially if rumours are true that Momo will also have his own drama for that season.

This just in.

Jerry Yan has reportedly signed with Johnny's Jimusho. So now, he and Takuya are colleagues. Will this mean a radical change in his image? To become more, uh, Japanese in style and packaging? Then he has to start learning cartwheels, besides Nihongo.
