How Ningin feels about this year can only be expressed by way of the lyrics to rapper Drake’s hit song, “Best I Ever Had.” Only, switch “I” to “We.” When it comes to Asian pop culture, entertainment and the Ningin community (you), 2009 was da best, best we ever had, best we ever had…you get it. With this being the very last week of 2009, how could we not pay tribute? In honor of this year, the Ningin End of the Year Special (EoTY) will highlight all that was 2009 for us.

TOP 10 Ningin Stories of 2009; is also the most memorable! smile

Good stuff.


I watched the anime and read the manga. Didn’t like Greed Island and the anime stopped in the middle of it when I stopped watching.


^ Yeah, my bad on Cowboy Bepop. Have you ever read/seen Hunter X Hunter, Myles?

What about Death Note, Hajime no Ippo, Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Monster, Azumanga Daioh, Hunter X Hunter, and so forth?

I only read the manga for Ippo, Death note and Monster. Didn’t like Code Geass or Azumanga Daioh anime, the manga for Azumanga was much better. And Cowboy Bebop was last decade besides the movie so I wanted to include other stuff. FMA, Ippo and Monster would probably belong to the list though.

death note is awesome! :D


i know kpop has gone through so much this is prob the worst year


1. TVXQ (Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun, and Jaejoong) and Super Junior (Hankyung) trying to opt out of their contract: SM needs to get it together and catch up with the times.

2. Jaebum Leaves Korea-2PM: I was sad when I heard this.

3. Lee Byung Hun Sleeps with a Girl: Just treat the woman right-do her justice.

4. UEE Nude Issue: Netizens did something good for once.

5. G-Dragon faces plagiarism and sexual content in concert: Again, Korea needs to keep up with the times and G-Dragon, check your work next time please.


What about Death Note, Hajime no Ippo, Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Monster, Azumanga Daioh, Hunter X Hunter, and so forth?


Hm...I’ve only heard and or watched some of these titles.

Aw man, needs more G-Dragon.

True

Who would you have on your list Karen?

My list is rather-ly long raspberry!


did they ever reveal who it was?


^ Oh I remember something about that. Don’t know what happened.


Oh, what about that celeb having intercourse 3 times with an under aged girl (it was paid)… hmmm…


So many things happened this year in Kpop. It had it’s ups and downs, but it was still an amazing year. I can’t wait for 2010!


hmm. top pop acts of the decade? I agree with most of yours (although I have never heard of Tata Young and Lee Hom Wang). I think DBSK/Tohoshinki deserver a place on the list. I am not a fan of them, but you can’t deny the mega-popularity that group has received in all of Asia. for me, Utada is my number 1 ( First Love is amazing!!! plus, she was also my first bit of asian music).

here is my top 10 list: Utada, BoA, Ayumi Hamasaki, Rain, Namie Amuro, DBSK/Tohoshinki, Wonder Girls, Kumi Koda, arashi, se7en


you chose good games lillian smile


Great list for top asian pop acts of the decade Jinra. Yes, I would have bashed you if BoA wasn’t number one.


You extended your Top MVs list Danny raspberry
I’ve only watched some of them XD


Great list!

EOTY Asian pop acts of the decade:
AHA, you fear the wrath of BoA or her fans? XD!?? BoA hit you with an SUV escalade if she wasn’t on top the list, haha. Oh wait, that’s tigers wife XD

Yep I agree on Charice too, Although a bit new she definitely is star material!


EoTY: Top Asian Pop Acts of the Decade:

I’m glad you mentioned Charice. Unlike other artists, Charice gained not only in one or two countries but worldwide recognition with a completely unknown background. Props to her.
