On Sunday, March 30, 2008, I attended a Toronto Raptors basketball game and was nearly moved to tears. What could have happened at a basketball that moved me so? Read on to find out…

I don’t usually cover news pieces in my blog, but I thought that this piece of news deserved a mention. Today, Some Boys! Blog reported that Goto Maki’s official blog has re-opened and that she is currently in Los Angeles California.
Now, I personally cannot read Japanese, but I went searching and found someone had already [...]

The tracklist to C-ute’s 5th single ‘Namida no Iro’ was announced a few days ago, and I must say that I was very surprised to see that their b-side will have the same title as the b-side on Berryz Koubou’s most recent release, ‘Dschinghis Khan’.

So, C-ute’s 3rd album came out earlier this week, and of course that meant that I [...]

Welcome to my new home. I found that the ground in which my crops were growing was not fertile enough, so I had to uproot and re-plant in a more nurturing environment… LOL XD
I originally moved over to wordpress.com, but after notifying Ray from International Wota and American Wota of my move, he offered me [...]

Today, the package I’ve been waiting for from YesAsia finally arrived! The estimated date of arrival was originally given as this past Friday, but alas, I was not lucky enough to receive it in time for the weekend…. But it’s here now!

That’s Buono!’s Café Buono! (LE) and A&R’s Shouri no Big Wave (Photobook LE).
