一青窈=平井堅

Quite old, but still amazing. Apparently the trivia TV show in Japan showed the Top 20 most uesless information that you don't really need to know. Ranking at #4 is the Taiwanese/Japanese hybrid singer Hitoto You (一青窈) and her debut song (2003) "もらい泣き"

如果把她的歌放慢聽 (80% tempo) 就會變得跟 ever good looking, everyone-wants-piece-of-his-ass Hirai Ken (平井堅) 所唱的一樣. 似乎是兩位歌手的歌唱風格, 呼吸方式接近的近乎奇蹟.

Sharp PW−A3500

Guest reviewer Andy reviews this electronic Japanese dictionary.

我勸敗的這台雖然不是什麼手機相機之類的東西…..但對於學習日文者來說算蠻不錯的…..所以在此推薦勸敗……… 去年底因為了考日檢二級而去補六堂的衝刺班…..老師就推薦了這一台電子字典. 去年6月29日發表的……它這台老師會推薦倒不是因為它的機能有多好……而是好在它是採用三省堂的大辭林(適合初學者用)而不是用廣辭苑(有在學日文的應 該知道此辭典的”深度”)…….且是有標單字重音的電子字典…..有沒有標重音對查到的這個字發音正不正確很重要…..且會影響到你對這個字的熟悉 度…..SHARP的液晶我覺得真的是有它的一套……雖然只是單色的……但蠻清楚的且我想應該會較省電……反正目的只是為了查到字又不是要在上面看照片和 影片…..而且它擴充其他功能是採用SD卡……但不曉得擴充卡台灣是否有在賣就是了………. 這個機型我稍為逛了一下台灣有賣日文電子字典的網站似乎沒賣…….我是因為托老師叫他的日本朋友買了寄到台灣所以還有多花了一點運費…..如果有興趣就只好自己想辦法囉 報告完畢……謝謝觀賞…..

Pedophilia isn’t a crime

yep. Did you know that? It is not a crime, nor a legal term or an act, this word describes the psychological state of one's being. Now youth marriage, age of consent, or emancipation of minors may raise concern or legality affect in certain jurisdiction (concerning child sex), but before I do any of that, I guess it shoudl be okay for me to post this cute under-age anime girl

or 1 pre-school boy
Media_httpimagespacer_deand
or bunch of pre-school kids running around feet naked
before FBI harassing my hairy balls. Seriously though, all these seems obviously kinky and provocative to talk about, but I assure you, I am not, well, not latently. The reason why I brought this up because I just read a shojou manga (yes that's right, I read manga that's design for girls) Aishiteruze baby (later made into anime) recently. And one of the character Yuzuyu (first picture in this post) is super cute in there. This manga talks about a good looking, pimp-like high school boy (tell me which shojou manga isn't like that) who was forced to take of his 5-years old cousin, yuzuyu. In the process he witness a lot of children-adult situations like child abuse, social problem among children..etc. If i could find a word to describe how it actually led me to post something on pedophilia, i would say it, but I couldn't. She's super cute. So I suggest everyone pick up a copy of manga or anime to check it out. in Chinese: 寶貝我愛你 by 慎陽子 (Maki Yoko)

Swing Girls

Hi folks, just in case you don't remember me, I'm the guy who used to run this web site. And in case you didn't notice, I acutally did post something yesterday. Now i vowed that my next post would be something worth checking out because after all PM10:30 is a fans and guns driven web site. (I swear I'll shoot the fucking brain out of you with my Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 if you don't visit my site) So here it is, a short film review.

Swing Girls is a Japanese film talks about group of lazy high school girls who find the pleasure in the rhythm - Jazz. It's an inspirational film portraiting those young girls going from ordinary to extrodinary. Definately worth checking out if you are like someone I know - Hi mom - who doesn't know how to appreciate music, you may find something in this film. On the other news, my friend Dean brought it up how he loves ramen, and that reminds me of the 7-11 ramen I have when i was in Taiwan. But before I get into that, I have to talk about 7-11 in Taiwan. 7-11, as everyone know, is a convenient store that opens 24-7 despite they call themselves 7-11 (7am to 11 pm). They sell various different foods and drink in Taiwan. They carry these line of convenient gourmet food that are both cheap, and of course, conveniently available. One advantage they have over instant food (instant noodle, rice, or microwave stuff) is that they are somewhat made with real and more natural ingredients compare to instant food's artificial POS. In terms of versatility, economy and my own bit of curiosity (and also at 3 am in the morning), I don't see why I shouldn't give this ramen on the shelf a try.
What comes in the package is a carrying net - neat, and the actual ramen itself. Upon digging in my late night snack..the array of flavors in bowl was nothing less than a horrible, devastating blow to all my pre-conceived expectations. So there you have it, a marketing product that aims at in between instant ramen and restaurant ramen. Personally tho, I think you should save couple dollars and buy yourself instant noodles instead. Despite the luxurious, close-to-real ingredients, the whole thing taste crap-tacular, the dubious meat-like item in the instant noodle is probably better.

[j-pop] Yuki - Joy

I like non-main stream stuff, Yuki from Judy & Mary (I think) has this song call Joy, and her MV is something you don't want to miss. It's very artistic..werid..and just good to look at. Whoever directed this mv reminds me of Michel Gondry. And whoever composed the back dancer is just as weird and funky! Anybody has a more high def, or more clearer version of this MV??

Happy new years Guys

This site has been offline for a bit whilst I work on some personal stuff at the background. And I don't mean browsing porn and make my right hand busy. I've been trying to design something (again), hopefully by the end of this month or earlier next month I would have something to show. So if you don't mind it being 11 days late, happy new year everybody! I had a fantastic holiday thanks to Jinsa (my buddy who traveled with me to Taiwan), Tony, Jack, Casey, and others. And I feel richer as a person for being technically broke and still went out and have drinks. Hope everyone has excellent 2006!
