Japanese-Taiwanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro is featured in the latest commercial and marketing campaign for EVA Air (I always thought it’s pronounced as a single word “eva” instead of E-V-A) which was filmed in Taiwan, Japan and France.
The CF is available in three languages (English, Chinese, Japanese)…

E! Online recently published its “25 Sexiest Men of the World 2008” list, in which Canadian-Chinese star Edison Chen somehow managed to rank higher (15th) than Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro (20th).
English football star David Beckham tops the list, while the sexiest Asian title (3rd overall) goes to Dingdong Dantes (pic) from the Philippines. Bollywood actor John Abraham is another Asian celebrity who made the list (10th).
This list is a bit unique as the chosen celebs covered a wide range of nationalities/ethnicities as compared to most other sexiest/hottest lists dominated by Hollywood stars. Arguable… but nice try.

The 21st Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) kicked off Saturday (Oct 18) with Japanese prime minister Taro Aso among the ~300 guests that graced the opening event at Roppongi Hills [via Japantoday]
The theme of TIFF 2008 is “Ecology = Preservation of Earth’s Environment”, and the organiser replaced the usual red carpet with a green carpet made from recycled plastic bottles to exemplify the theme, which I doubt could bring any meaningful effect.
A total of 315 films from around the world will be shown during the nine-day event. Chinese movie “Red Cliff”, directed by Hong Kong director John Woo, was selected to kick start the screening; would be cute if the stars wore some green outfit during the green carpet to echo the theme lol.
