Sunye is getting married, I’m crying tears

Literally of happiness. Being a fan of 5 years and to see a member of my favourite girl group get married, I’m so happy for her. You can read the announcement here! She is also the first second-generation idol to get married.

Voices of Japanese men towards dating & foreigners

Since 2010, I have been looking at videos, discussions and blogs relating to AMBW and interracial relationships. It involved one side of the story because a lot of girls were more open to make videos of their opinions but what about the guys?

I managed to find some english subtitled interviews with Japanese men about this topic.

A fan’s knowledge of Japanese idols and the music industry

It’s been a while since I made a post revolving around Japanese idols, no?

How much do anyone of us actually know? When I asked this to myself the other day, I noticed how little I know about what goes on in Japan compared to Korea. In my opinion, it is good to know about the industry and it’s background as a fan. You can be aware of what goes on behind the scenes and understand how the music industry works more. Just to say, I know nothing about traditional music but I do think it is beautiful when I listen to it.

So let’s take a look and see.

Expectations for Dynasty Warriors 8

Since Dynasty Warriors 8 has been announced, I’ve played every Dynasty Warriors game except for the first one and I have noticed the series needs some improvements that Koei should pick up on. I’ve been playing Dynasty Warriors 7 since I purchased it earlier this year and there are a few things I like from the game.

1. The addition of using more animals by your side like a wolf, panda or even a falcon was pretty cool.
2. I like the graphics and some of the character’s outfit designs.
3. The Musou mode takes a turn on the kingdom’s story based more than the characters so it gives players more of the storyline that went on in the Han Dynasty.
4. I like that Conquest mode gives you something else to apart from focusing on the story.
5. The addition of Jin is nice.

But that’s it! Dynasty Warriors 3 (and even 5) would satisfy me better. Now here’s my list of expectations:

Reina takes her leave to her new band

I had another post ready for something else but that can wait. Tanaka Reina is graduating from Morning Musume!

Another Yossi and Platinum Era member is leaving. Honestly, was I the only one who was not shocked? She was never one of my favourites but we should have been prepared for this when the band auditions were announced. Man, the H!P fandom seem to be taking a loss out of this.

UK K-pop fans – how the others “see” us

Remember back when MBC festival was held in June? Do you remember the day before the concert when fans followed EXO-K around Oxford Street and got bashed for it? After that festival, they got labeled as crazy fans who don’t know how to keep their distance.

You must be joking.

If Rockstar ever included a female protagonist in a GTA game…

Article has been expanded on 10/12/12 and the previous one can be displayed here.

Could they? Would they ever consider it? It wasn’t until before the news of Grand Theft Auto V having multiple protagonists that I began to ponder this. I ventured into Grand Theft Auto forums and related articles for more of the fans opinions.

“I do feel sorry for all the women enjoying GTA while waiting for a female protagonist, but I think it wouldn’t suit the game in the same way as Vercetti or Bellic has and will do respectively.

I apologise to the women but I think men look better (personally)”

New Decisions

Hey guys! Do you like the new look?

For the past 11 months, I’ve been trying to restore NyNyOnline to what it was in 2009/10. A little similar but if you’ve already noticed, I’m adding new topics that I love to talk about more: Video Games, Fanfiction, Interracial stuff etc.

So please do look out for them! Also when I started doing photography in sixth form, I never picked it up again so I want to start again and post more of what goes on in my life and in London. I’m going to try and update more in Japanese as well to not only practice my language skills but to open up to a new audience too.

I’ll be promoting on all sites weekly just to get the blog known a little each day and I also will be doing comment exchange on similar blogs. So if you want to do the same just ask! And tell me if you like the blog’s new style?
