I guess Rain is a fitting celeb to endorse the new line of scents called Nature Republic. Apparently as part of the deal, Rain has to walk around showing his abs a lot. Still wondering why he hasn’t endorsed umbrellas or something cooler like a water amusement park.

Alright you asked for it! By popular demand, Big Bang gets covered, and how convenient that they just released a new MV entitled “MY HEAVEN.” Its practically summertime, so it reflects the casual, bright atmosphere, with some interesting contrast of dark scenes. More »

I was one of the lucky American movie goers to who got to see THE SKY CRAWLERS (スカイ・クロラ) in its very limited US release at the end of 2008. Lucky you now, it’s finally going to be available everywhere in the US when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases the DVD next week on May 26. More »

Apologies for the lack of Pin Games lately. We’ve been working on a couple of big projects. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve all seen previews for the upcoming Pixar movie, UP. Turns outs, the chubby little Boy Scout is Asian American and he’s actually voiced by an Asian American. It’s an outrageous concept, but it might just work. (That was a note for the people over at the Avatar movie.) The voice is by first time actor, Jordan Nagai. He got lucky after one casting call. Good for him. More »

Morning Musume, the girly Jpop group that I hate myself for loving, are having a totally cool contest — create their new video for “3,2,1 - Breakin’ Out!” Calling it an OPV (Original Promotion Video) Contest, you download an edited version of “3,2,1 - Breakin’ Out!” and a lot of video clips of the Musume girls dancing on green screens.

Nothing on this Earth is as pervasive as Hello Kitty. Can you believe the Royal Mint of England is the latest to succumb to the kawaii kitten? They’ve submitted to Sanrio’s demands of minting Hello Kitty coins for her 35th anniversary or else they’ll suffer the consequences.

Guys, meet Masanobu Sato. He is the biggest wanker the world has ever seen and dude will take that as a compliment. He beat (pun intended) his own world record at this year’s Masturbate-a-thon in San Francisco by jacking off for 9 hours and 58 minutes. That’s two minutes to ten hours - a record he hopes to achieve next year. Next year? Someone please put an IV in his peen. More »

After three days of not blogging, the news really piled up! The first thing that jumped out at me was this picture. It’s actually an artistic picture, not just some shot of a random hot Asian girl. Whoever the photographer is, please give us more.

The MAP THE SOUL Tour steamrolled through New York City yesterday and it was the hottest party in town! I’m not just talking about Kero One, Far East Movement and Epik High putting on stellar performances — I’m talking put 1000+ people in a room with lights and huge speakers, have everyone jump around for hours and don’t turn on the air conditioning - cause that’s exactly what happened last nite at Irving Plaza.

Big fan of Namie Amuro? The photobook is just what the doctor ordered. Picture books are really one of my favorite things to collect from artists I love. You probably have to import from CDjapan or HMV of Japan, but hopefully Yesasia will also carry it. More »

I almost fell off my chair when I saw the picture of the newly crowned “Miss Tiffany’s Universe 2009“, Miss Sorrawee Nattee. This is not some usual pageant mind you. It’s a competition in which 30 transexuals duke it out to become the most beautiful transexual in Thailand. In my opinion, Miss Nattee should also be crowned “the empress of elegance”. Look at her! Bitch can easily put a million actual bitches to shame with her looks and mannerism. More »

Free hugs from Kpop group 2PM? By now, hopefully you know how I feel about this. That said, SIGN ME UP! Again and again and again….An estimated 800-900 free hugs were given out by 2pm to random passersby in the Hongdae area of Seoul this week. There seems to be no motivation behind free hugs, other than to be featured on KBS 1TV, “Choi Kyung-joo and Friends” show on May 30th. Such altruists, the boys are! Perhaps the free hug was just one promotional tool in 2 pm arsenal box to one-up SHINee? I dig it. More »
