In most American high schools, May is the time to bust out the yearbooks, go to prom and maybe say your final goodbyes. Everything done this month has to be memorable. It’s no different at Mixr High. Only, we’re not saying goodbye to you — nor are we an actual high school. We’re also probably won’t go to prom with you if you ask us. (We’ll sign your yearbooks though.) We just want you to have a Memorable May with Mixr. More »

It seems Ayumi Hamasaki helped Asada Mao win the silver medal at the Vancouver Olympics. She sent an autographed cd to Mao before the games and gave her encouraging words “Thank you for your courage and passion”. Being a fan of Ayumi, Mao took it to heart and it helped her calm down for her performance. More »

Rumor has it that YG Entertainment has been at odds with MBC for awhile now. Since their debut nine months ago, Korean pop group 2NE1 has not once performed on the Music Core stage. Big Bang members have also not had any recent performances on the show. This may soon change. More »

Japanese cosmetics pioneer Shu Uemura has once said, “Beautiful make-up starts with beautiful skin.” I may not be a beauty expert, but I respond with, “Beauty web sites start with Ningin specials dedicated to Asian beauty because Ningin is a community of beautiful people.” Obviously, Mr. Uemura is more of the wordsmith when it comes to beauty. As of today, our newest Mixr sibling site FlauntMe, will be your one-stop destination for all things related to beauty, regardless of what color you are. To celebrate FlauntMe’s launch, we’ve got a lot of fun blog posts dedicated to Asian beauty planned! More »

From Wirebot:

You know, with cultures influencing many games, the Japanese and their Ninja influence is hardly an exception. Many popular video games that might not come straight to mind nowadays include some form of a ninja! Whether it be simple classic ninjas with their katana and shuriken draped in dark colors, or even a turtle with a staff, ninjas are almost everywhere. But the conception of the classic ninja has evolved into so many different kinds of ninjas, and today I am going to run through with you five major totally different games and the type of ninjas in each, and how close they are to the archetypal ninja.

Interviewing Director James McTeigue was a challenge of a different sort for me. I didn’t know much about him at first other than that he directed V for Vendetta, which so happens to be one of my favorite films. That’s the only movie that’s he directed prior to Ninja Assassin but he’s been part of the Wachowski’s team for a long time and he’s had a role in the making of Speed Racer as well. I’m starting to see a pattern of Wachowski, James McTeigue, and Rain. I hope those three combine to produce movies forever! More »

Ningin has interviewed BoA, the Wonder Girls, Utada, and many other wonderful Asian celebs. This interview with Rain felt bigger than all of those. For me, part of the reason why is because of what we’re interviewing him for, the Ninja Assassin movie – the first big budget Hollywood film with an Asian male lead and a mostly Asian cast. Plus, it’s Rain. There’s no bigger male Asian pop star in the world! I was actually a little nervous but, more excited than anything else. More »
