Japan Fashion

2010-01-28T10:17:00.000-08:00

Japan Fashion Week kicked off on Sunday with a special event aimed at finding new modeling talents in Asia. "The Models 2009" featured a fashion show in which 142 contestants, both professional and amateur models from Japan, China and South Korea, walked the runway in their own self-styled looks.

A 21-member panel including Ai Tominaga and a host of photographers, fashion editors, designers and other industry insiders served as judges. "Photographers look for people they would want to photograph, designers look for people they would want to wear their clothes... As for me, when it came to the male models I was looking for people that I'd like to be photographed with," Tominaga quipped.

Ten winners were chosen based on the overall scores they received from the judges while the Japan subsidiaries of Chanel, Hermes and Giorgio Armani also awarded their own individual prizes to their runway favorites. "When judging for the Chanel award I was thinking, if that particular person was wearing Chanel, how would she look?," said Richard Collasse, president and representative director at Chanel Japan and another member of the panel.

Teruo Tsuneda of Mainichi Newspaper, the event's cosponsor, noted that the organizers planned to make this a regular event, and hoped to secure cooperation from Chinese and Korean media in order to better showcase the talents of Asian models to the world.

The movie

2010-01-27T04:47:00.000-08:00

Zhou Yu's Train

Year Released: 2004
Directed By: Sun Zhou
Starring: Gong Li, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Sun Honglei
(PG-13, 93 min.)

Zhou Yu's Train is one of the most romantic and modern movies to come out of present-day China. It tells the story of Zhou Yu (Li), a young woman who works as an artisan in a factory painting enamel vases. Love and passion are treated as part of this woman’s birthright, and the film’s embraces are frank and sensual. The story is very romantic; a woman’s right to choose premarital lovers is a given. Zhou takes the train twice a week to visit her handsome lover Chen Ching (Leung), a librarian who wants to become a poet. He is inspired to write poems for her and she wants to publish a book of his poetry. But then he receives an assignment in Tibet, and then she becomes involved with another man she meets (on the train, of course), the veterinarian Zhang Jiang (Honglei), with whom she is at first friends but soon becomes lovers – although she never completely stops pining for Ching. Zhou Yu’s Train is shot in fragmented temporal sequences that tell us the story in a more fluid, though less sequential manner. The story’s central metaphor is the train. Toward the end of the movie, we discover a fourth character, a woman who has been observing Zhou and reading Ching’s poetry on the train. One will be forgiven flashing on images of Diane Lane riding the train on her way home from visiting with her book-loving lover in Unfaithful. Perhaps that’s putting too much of a Western spin on Zhou Yu’s Train, but it just may be a movie that has difficulty transcending national borders.

Review By: illuminance

I’ll be brief, since I’ve already given my thoughts in a previous song review – here. Basically, I guess that people are pretty much divided into two camps – those who like Cyndi and those who don’t. It seems to be pretty the much the same situation with English music: There are some whose songs are just so repetitive and bad, but they still sell well and earn a bundle of money (ahem, Soulja Boy, ahem). Cyndi Wang, in my opinion, is like that. Her songs for the most part are generic – they pretty much sound all the same. Take all the zhuda 主打 (title songs) from each of her albums and compare them – not too much different at all.

So, for those who do like Cyndi, listen away. If you already like her songs, you can’t really be disappointed now, since it’s basically more of the same.

Queen of hip-hop and forever J-pop diva

2010-01-13T12:38:00.000-08:00

Ten plus years into a successful singing career, Amuro Namie is still a crowd pleaser, convincing APA concert critic Anne Lee that she is still the queen of hip-hop and forever a J-pop diva. It's almost like we are there in the action, teeny-bopping all over again.

Amuro Namie. What can I say? A performer since her early teens, could she ever really disappoint at a concert? I admit I was a bit upset that she did not perform very many of her old songs (circa her pre-pregnancy days), but on second thought, they would not have fit that well into the atmosphere of her concert anyway. Even the ones she did sing, such as "a walk in the park," and "How to be a girl" had a more mature twist to it -- much different from when she first released those songs back in 1996 and 1997. The dance steps to "a walk in the park" was such a hip-hop departure from her former routine that it didn't even feel like a track from her TK (Tetsuya Komuro) days.

The concert overall definitely had quite a "Queen of Hip-Pop" feel to it, with many songs from her last album and many of her new singles, such as "Can't Sleep, Can't eat, I'm sick," which seems like an ode to her idol, Janet Jackson, down to her airy sing-and-dance routine. Even though the new songs may have been unfamiliar to older fans, they were extremely catchy. Showing that she is just as fit as ever, Amuro took the stage and danced practically nonstop for more than two hours, only leaving the stage three or four times to change, never for more than ten minutes. She gamely interacted with the audience, answering fan questions about her dog (doing great) and her next birthday, the big 2-9.

The stage set had a lot of variety as well: bars on the main area to dance with, stairs running up the middle for variation in dance moves, poles on the upper stage area (at one point, for some pole-dancing), and waist-level bars that came up and down in the catwalk stage part as Amuro and her dancers manipulated them gracefully during their routine. The most amazing stage gimmick was probably the "jungle gym"—an array of bars stacked on top of one another, making for a complicated web of dancing, which Amuro and her dancers mastered skillfully.

For the performance of "Ningyo" ("Mermaid"), white cloth was draped all around Amuro, like a wall. At the same time, she was also standing in cloth bunched up to look like sea foam, giving off the aura of her being under the sea. While she can virtually do no wrong in terms of clothing with her blessed proportions and long-limbs, the floral dress and gargantuan flower adorning her hair was less than flattering. While the asymmetrical hem of the dress may have helped convey the "mermaid" idea, the frumpy ruffles and flower pattern overwhelmed her petite frame and were definitely un-Amuro-like. Lucky for us, she eventually shed it to reveal a cute tank and mini ensemble in pink. She employed this tactic often (since she rarely went offstage to change). In the opening act, she appeared in a long-sleeved, floor-length purple number, just to take it off and bare her black, middrift track-jacket-and-sweats combo for the second song.

Before her last set, Amuro thanked everyone and left the stage, in what the audience feared to be her last song. But, she returned, clad in jeans, her signature boots, and Amuro gear: a black t-shirt with LIVE STYLE 2006 emblazoned across the front in gold, a black LIVE STYLE 2006 wristband, and the limited edition silver cross necklace retailing for close to 100 USD. So yes, it was an advertisement of some sort—which worked, judging from the massive lines at the retail booths post-concert—but she also gave a little present to those of her very old fans, singing an entire suite of her oldies, including "Body Feels Exit," "Chase the Chance," and "You're My Sunshine," before ending with a sprinkle of her new songs.

So alas, even though her concert was definitely heavy with her recent works and "hip-pop" style, some things never change. Even at 28, divorced and the mother of an 8-year old boy, she is still the epitome of cool: her classic catwalk strut, quiet demeanor when not performing, and above all, her style. Her pencil-thin eyebrows, long brown hair, short skirt and ultra high boots—classic Amuro style and definitely what looks best on her.

Though she apologized for being dressed in a skirt of such short length at her age, the audience hardly minded. After all, the female-heavy audience -- while not necessarily all clad in minis and over-the-knee boots -- was definitely remnants of former Amuras, all looking quite similar with long, brown hair and an Amuro-inspired style.

While I was never an Amura, I am definitely one of her old school fans. And, a true Amuro fan is a fan of her style, even if the flavor is always changing -- whether she changes from J-pop to electronic beats to reggaeton to hip hop. And so for the true Amuro fan, I am more than sure that the tightly-knit two-hour concert hit the spot.

Surprise birthday Ariel Lin

2010-01-13T12:26:00.000-08:00

Ariel Lin yesterday celebrated her birthday on CTV’s “Variety Big Brother”. Joe Cheng who plays her husband on upcoming drama “Love or Bread” presented to her a $20,900 white iphone cellphone, and also a birthday card, calling her “wife”. However, Joe who often makes mistakes while writing, felt a lot of pressure before giving her the card, saying: “I forgot to check if there were any mistakes.”

Everyone immediately opened his card, and checked the content, but not a single word was wrong. He said that he had found out a while ago that Ariel wanted to buy this phone, and he even requested to her assistant, telling her not to take her shopping these days. He then secretly went to order it. On the show, a birthday cake was brought out and Joe and Zhang Fei both kissed her on the cheek. Ariel was very happy, and wished that she will find her Mr Right soon.

Afterwards, the 2 then went on TTV’s “Diamond Club” and the show organised a red carpet for Ariel and Li Jing to pre-walk the walk of fame. When asked what they will wear on the day of the Golden Bell Awards, Li Jing said that she will wear a Julia custom-made outfit, and Ariel revealed she will wear a Huang Shu Chi designed dress; the 2 have both chosen domestic brands.
