Oppai ga Ippai (おっぱいがいっぱい), literally ‘full of breast’ in Japanese, is a popular children song in Japan (at least in the 80s), singing praise to mama’s breast (milk).
One of the wackiest music videos I’ve ever seen; call me an idiot, but I laughed from the beginning till the end… couldn’t resist, it’s just too funny, cute and weird.

Mickey Mouse celebrates his 80th birthday on Tuesday (Nov 18)…
According to iF Magazine, Hollywood producer Erwin Stoff is working with 20th Century Fox to develop a live-action film adapted from popular Japanese anime “Cowboy Bebop”. [via Shrine]
Seems like Hollywood are really into making live action movies adapted from Japanese anime recently… first there was “Speed Racer”, then the “Dragon Ball” and now “Cowboy Bebop”. I wonder if the Hollywood film makers are really short of ideas or whatever… hmmm, writers’ strike perhaps.
I don’t really like the idea of adapting Japanese anime to live action movies… but if it’s becoming a trend, Cowboy Bebop is probably one of those few anime that should look great in live because of the real-to-life characters.
There are rumours that Keanu Reeves will be involved, but the speculations are probably based on the fact that Stoff is Reeves’ agent. Not many details are available yet… the production is still in early stage obviously.
A fun commercial from Discovery Channel, I think the official name is “The World is Awesome”, featuring some of its popular show-hosts (and Stephen Hawkings)…
A commercial film from BBC Sport for the Beijing Olympic Games…
The animation and music are based upon epic Chinese folklore “Journey to the West”, and produced by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn, creators of Gorillaz.
The lyrics are about overcoming obstacles and challenges to achieve the dreams, which blended pretty well with the Olympic spirit and the moral of the original story.
A Beijing Olympics commercial film from Astro, a subscription-based TV station which operates primarily in Malaysia. Pretty cool animation…
“The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends” is a 3D animation produced by Sanrio Digital and Dream Cortex in Hong Kong since 2006.
This has to be one of the most outrageous commercials that I have ever seen…
