Today’s edition of Origins of Cute features the black vampire cat Nyanpire! Nyanpire’s name is made up of “nyan”, the sound a cat makes, and “pire”, which is taken from vampire. This lonely black cat is a stray cat and nearly dead but a kind vampire saves it from total death. The vampire gave Nyanpire some vampire blood and I’m pretty sure you know what comes next. An anime starring this cute kitty will be out in summer 2011. More »

Having earlier released our top 10 Male Kpop Idols with extreme Aegyo skills list, we have now returned with an extension of this article, this time focusing in the world of female idols.

With the latest list of Kpop songs that should be banned being so popular and questions being asked about songs that are actually banned, we have created a list of 10 music videos that have actually been banned for various reasons. I just want to point out about the post with the songs that should be banned, that was all in Korean culture and music industry standards. It was to show how those songs weren’t the cleanest and yet somehow they weren’t banned but songs by other artists with similar content were banned. Now, for the list of 10 music videos that have been banned for various reasons and I must say, some reasons are completely illogical and just plain weird but then again, maybe in the Korean culture they are legitimate reasons so keep that in mind. Again, the list is in no specific order. More »
