Perfect Blue – Reflection of the industry

pb

Boy, was this a creepy but interesting film! Perfect Blue follows Mima, an ex-member of a Japanese pop-idol group called “CHAM!” from the beginning of the film, who – in my opinion – has to follow a career as an actress. You can also see it as a reflection of the entertainment industry that I like to focus on in Japan and Korea. Spoilers below.

Beyblade Originals VS. Season 4 Trash

How could the creators of Beyblade do this? Replacing the well-loved originals for these people? Ever since I saw the first 10 minutes of Metal Fight Beyblade (so now they are also selling dangerous beyblades instead of original plastic ones, I think), I cannot watch this season at all. They’ve replaced Tyson, Max, Ray, Kai, Daichi, Chief a.k.a Kenny and Hilary with a TyKai wannabe, Hilary’s ugly stepsister, Burger King, a Street Rat and…some Random kid. ¬_¬

2010: Wishes & New Changes

Yay! A new start! A new year! A time to change ¬_¬
By the way, you guys like my new header? ^_^

In my opinion, 2010 is the year of wishes (every year, I seem to make a strange prediction of what the year will bring us from 2007 – Fashion, 2008 – Death, 2009 – Luck). Instead of resolutions, I have wishes and these are my Top 3:
