What’s a Jinra to do when she gets lonely in the Ningin offices? In times like these I just ring up my close personal ABDC/SYTYCD dancer friends and invite them over to entertain me. One particular boring day, I had Di “Moon” Zhang, Hokuto “Hok” Konishi (Quest Crew) and Phillip “PacMan” Chbeep just completely annihilate the office with their precisely choreographed tutting, popping, locking moves. It’s so hard being me. More »

BoA’s deluxe album was released today on Itunes. It was originally set to release in September, so it is a day earlier than expected. The bonus tracks that have full previews (at least until they are removed) are Control and Crazy About. What you can expect is the same formula from the first edition of the album. More »

I know I’m a bit later than usual with this post. Business is well, keeping me busy lately. That’s because we’re about to undergo quite a lot of expansion. Sometime very soon, we’ll be launching NFL football communities, BlitzNation.com. So NFL fans, you’re in for a real treat. There’s going to be lots of promos and giveaways and pins when that happens. Of course, your Ningin account will be your universal login to BlitzNation like any other site in the Mixr Network. Soon after BlitzNation goes up, Wirebot, our gaming community will follow. That’s for those of you who keep asking me about Wirebot. A more detailed post will follow soon. More »

Namie Amuro will have her Best Fiction tour released on Blu-ray on Sept. 9 and be one of few artists to ever grace such a high definition format. Oddly enough, Japan who is light years ahead of technology is handicapped by the world’s out of date standards and sees few releases on Blu-ray. More »

This is all I know about All About Steve: Girl (Sandra Bullock) meets boy (Bradley Cooper.) Girl becomes infatuated with boy in the most comedic of ways. Boy falls prey to her idiosyncratic schemes for attention. Stand-up comedian Ken Jeong (The Hangover) is worth paying attention to as Cooper’s cameraman sidekick in All About Steve. Random trivia: Did you know Ken Jeong is a former physician? Acting is obviously doing something for him. More »

Just in case you needed to fulfill your daily postmodernistic thought quota, think no further. (Look no further?) This pin game is about a game. Or rather, a movie called Gamer centered on a game that utilizes humans as pawn-like figures controlled by gamers. The film stars Gerard Butler (300), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Ludacris (rapper whose done less time than Martha Stewart.) According to IMDB, Ludacris is credited as ‘Humanz Brother’ while Aaron Yoo is ‘Humanz Dude.’ Now, I know what you’re thinking. I really hope this means that Aaron Yoo plays Luda’s brother too. “Yes, I am Asian and actually… I’m not Ludacris’ brother. I just play him in a movie.” More »

From Ziggytek: FINALLY! After about a week of rumors, Microsoft is finally going to drop the prices on their Xbox 360 gaming consoles. Tomorrow is the official day, and honestly, I’m a little excited. I’ve had experience with both consoles. I opted for the PS3 after my first and only Xbox 360 had the “Ring of Death” but with a lower price point, it may be something I may want again. As for the price drops, the entry-level arcade will still be $200, Elite (black edition) will drop $100 to $300 (from $400), and the Pro will go down $50 to $250 (from $300). More »

Song Hye Gyo is featured in the September issue of Vogue. Traditionally, the September issue for Vogue magazine is the thickest and most important in setting the stage for the new fashion year’s trends. Song Hye Gyo, being lucky in both of her love and career life, is the ultimate choice to feature in this important issue of Vogue. With the soft make-up and short curly hair she looks very sexy yet cute at the same time. I especially love her pink lips. More »

From Ziggytek: Gundam is a big deal in Japan. So big that a couple decided to get married in front of one and bow down to it. Japan’s T&G wedding planners held a contest to see who would be getting married in front of the giant robot in Tokyo. One lucky couple, out of 500 entrants, took their vows in front of Gundam.

Today we have Korean actress Han Chae Young looking sexy for car company, Hyundai. I’m loving her sexy eye make-up and tousled hair. She looks great in just a simple tee and jeans!

She participated in the designing of this t-shirt, which has the words “Get Your Sexy.” More »
