[Fan Sites] Pictures of Kago Ai when at airport

Pictures of Kago Ai when at airport

For the time being if you scroll on that site there are some pictures of what I am assuming was Kago’s arrival in Hong Kong.  Also further down there seems to be a picture of her in her movie costume!

[Blogs] Gaijin Revolution is a new blog

Gaijin Revolution

Our own Julia has started a new blog:

about the daily life of a Caucasian fan of Asian pop culture, and the crap regularly thrown at said fan, including but not limited to the term “Asian wannabe.”

The 1st post sets the tone and the agenda.  This is honest and open stuff, real salt of the earth type blogging… It’s actually better than I can explain.

I think people are going to be able to relate to this big time.

http://en.fooooo.com/watch.php?id=c884210c32c6302f763323db86a96198

I never got a chance to see this before.  Plenty of mirth.  If you skip the MoMusu bit Berryz reapear at the end and the presenter succesfully embarasses/mortifies them.  Also it’s nice to hear Momo say she wanted to go to Guam, that’s cool, I’m glad she got to go… Now where did Chinami say… *

[Edit:] * Sounds like New York!
