Jam Hsiao – Princess
“Princess” (王妃; prince’s wife to be precise) by Jam Hsiao from his same-title album, released in July 2009. Not a bad song, love his voice as always…
Japanese star Tsuyoshi Kusanagi was arrested last Thursday (Apr 23) for public indecency after stripping naked while under the influence of alcohol at a Tokyo park. The 34-year-old member of popular pop group SMAP has apologised shortly after his release; press conference video (Jp) below…
Oddly enough, international media is following their Japanese counterpart with the news craze. BBC, Sky, CBC etc. have all picked up the news and gave it some detailed coverage… makes me wonder if the western press actually knew anything (most likely not) about Kusanagi besides the incident.
Sinking of Japan (日本沈没; Nihon Chinbotsu) was a a 2006 remake of 1973 film Japan Sinks, based on a fictional novel by Sakyo Komatsu. The new movie was directed by Shinji Higuchi and starred Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Kou Shibasaki etc.
The story is about Japan sinking into the sea due to tectonic plates’ motions… and time is running out for the Japanese as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis began to devour the soil.
