Heart-marked chihuahua gets identical brother

Yein Jee — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:09:22 +0000

Heart-kun, the chihuahua that made headlines in 2007 with his perfect heart-shaped birthmark, is having a brother that shares similar cuteness…

Named Love-kun, the new puppy was also born in Odate, northern Japan. The pet owner must have done something good in her past-life; having a cute dog like this is quite a blessing, having two is just heaven [image via Petsugar]

Girls’ Generation cute comic

Yein Jee — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 03:00:07 +0000

Cute comics (unofficial) featuring Korean pop group Girls’ Generation…

The comics characterised the SNSD members pretty well according to their real personality. The video moves a bit too fast, so it’s difficult to read… thanks for the effort anyway (plus the translation).

Song Hye-kyo is panda’s friend

Yein Jee — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:33:16 +0000

Korean actress Song Hye-kyo was appointed as panda’s goodwill ambassador in China. Not sure what her tasks would be; hugging a cuddly (yet deceiving) giant panda seems like a good start lol… [via K-popped]

Cutie Uee vs manager’s camera

Yein Jee — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 07:51:43 +0000

Cute little video of Korean singer Uee playing with her manager’s camera; sitting behind was Jung-ah, her fellow After School member…

The eyes are unreal; not sure if it’s natural or plastic fantastic… it’s pretty regardless. Lovely smile too; she should smile more often :)

Nakizumo – Japanese baby crying festival

Yein Jee — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:05:05 +0000

Nakizumo (lit. crying sumo) is a traditional Japanese festival with 400-years of history. The event, believed to bring good health to the babies, is held annually in temples across Japan where the kids would face-off each other to see who’s crying the soonest (and loudest)…

The above video [credits to garyjpn@youtube for the upload] is probably from Hiroshima in 2009; there are other slightly different format in other places, including in Tokyo where some real sumo wrestlers were involved.

Girls’ Generation – Binggrae banana milk commercial

Yein Jee — Fri, 15 May 2009 08:16:26 +0000

Korea’s Binggrae banana milk commercial featuring members from pop group Girls’ Generation. Apparently the drink is quite popular in the country; don’t think I’ll like it though, regardless of how cute the commercial is…

[Update] Got the chance to try the banana milk during my Korea visit; wasn’t too bad, but didn’t suit my personal taste… too sweet to my liking.

Yuri Ebihara’s cute Japanese commercial

Yein Jee — Sun, 10 May 2009 08:00:33 +0000

Japanese commercial (2008) featuring popular model Yuri Ebihara, often referred to as Ebi-chan by her fans. You won’t know what’s the ad is about until the last few seconds; give it a good guess while enjoying her overloaded cuteness…

I’ll explain a bit about the senselessness at the first comment.

Cat Shit One (2010) anime trailer

Yein Jee — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 05:53:52 +0000

Japanese trailer for animated series “Cat Shit One”, based on the same title manga series (known as “Apocalypse Meow” in USA) by Motofumi Kobayashi.

The original manga is about three American soldiers (the bunnies) in operation during the Vietnamese war, but in the series the battleground has shifted into Middle East where the bunnies are tyring to rescue hostages held by some guerillas (the camels)…

The concept… these days people are too used to seeing people dying in movies, and the producers hoped that the use of cute and fluffy animals as characters could give viewers a stronger feeling of the misery of the wars [via Patrickmacias]

While admiring their intentions, I wonder if their objective could work… as I find the trailer so cute and hilarious. I couldn’t stop myself laughing when the bunny began to talk, and I feel so bad because it should be a serious war series (or is it?)

Cat Shit One is scheduled to release in 2010 as a 12-episode mini-series.

Tata Nano, world’s cheapest car goes on sale

Yein Jee — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:02:59 +0000

India’s Tata Motors announced on Monday (Mar 23) the commercial launch of Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car at 100,000 rupees (USD1,990) apiece.

Nano created huge buzz worldwide when it was unveiled in January 2008; the car is in hot demand in India where it’ll hit the roads in July 2009.

The demand for the car is so high that the company has to make a lucky draw to decide their first 100,000 customers for the first phase of deliveries. A dedicated assembly plant will be ready in 2010 with an annualised capacity of 350,000 cars.

There are reasons why Tata Nano is so cheap; but as it’s often stressed, the Nano’s main aim is to provide safe, affordable, four-wheel transportation to families… and we can’t argue that a car would be much safer than a bike.

Some environmentalists are not that fond of the car, as more cars = more pollution. Tata has responded to the issue that an electric version of Nano is in mind, which has sprung wide interest in western countries.

Btw, the car might lack certain comfortability features, but it’s not lacking in design… that’s one cute car that I don’t mind owning based on appearance alone.

Giant panda tree climbing

Yein Jee — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:53:46 +0000

A giant panda high up at the Beijing Zoo in China…

Many people don’t know that giant pandas are good climbers; I’m rather amazed though, that the tiny tree branches could support the panda’s weight.

Kame & L.N.K – I Love Tofu music video

Yein Jee — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:14:13 +0000

Chinese subbed Japanese music video of “I ♥ TOFU” by pop duo Kame and LNK, released in the same title single in December 2008. A fun song, singing praise to the goodness of bean curds (tofu); one of the cutest music videos I’ve seen…
