24 May 2019: Yue Miyatani Graduation & End of A Journey

24th May 2019. That dreaded day is here. Yue Miyatani's and Kera Hinako's graduation from Akishibu Project. The idol I most adored and respected. This will be her last performance as member of Akishibu Project and will not be involved in entertainment anymore.

My Top 10 Precious Chekis

When you encounter something memorable, or had an overwhelmingly special experience, one would like to preserve that memory. One way is to preserve them as photos. Photos are physical, you can just insert them in an album and afterwards flick open, refer back and cherish those moments. Polaroids / Chekis are such precious mementos. Its even more meaningful if its signed as they would include dates, maybe your name and some special (or even nonsensical) messages. Polaroids are popular due to their small size. They're compact enough to put into your wallet and later pull it out for your daily dose of feels.


As such, this post is all about chekis! Here are my top 10 special chekis. I am expecting people not to correctly predict my current number 1 most precious. (hint, not ah lian)

The First Idol Ensei of 2019 ! Bangkok, Thailand

Japan Expo Thailand (JET2019) is probably the only regional event that has so much appeal and content (and other reasons) that it can entice wotas of South East Asia to travel abroad just for it. Idols, J-Music, Cosplay, you name it, JET2019 has it. And the names they bring in aren't just your run of the mill names either. I regard Japan Expo Thailand as the true BIGGEST J-Culture event in SE Asia.

EOY 2018: Final Event of The Year!

For this article, I am doing something new. I am drafting everything I saw on the fly so hopefully by event end, an article would be up. In fact this first draft is being edited on the bus! No late post for this one... I think... 🤔 Also as this is drafted on my phone instead of my laptop, the formatting might go wonkers...

This year's EOY is held in Suntec Exhibition as opposed to the previous years where event is at Marina Barrage. Hooray for air-conditioning! Noone would be complaining being exposed to extreme weather now.

SPW Ladies Night: Meeting The Muscle Idol and Get the Strongest Cheki

Here is another late article! In fact its just 3 more days to the New Year! Its becoming a habit now, I guess its no choice when I have to juggle my daily work and cracking my head on how to write my articles. Anywho back to the main event.

SPW Ladies Night! Yet another wrestling event attended for the calendar year of 2018. However this event is a wee bit special. Based from the title "Ladies Night", this event features the ladies of wrestling!  It boasts a stellar roster of wrestlers from different parts of the world. We have ex NXT Shazza McKenzie and Zeda Zhang, Australia's Indi Hartwell and Gatoh Move's Riho and veteran Emi Sakura. However among that list, the one that captures the eye is the self-proclaimed Muscle Idol Reika Saiki!

AFA 2018 - Dear Kiss and Kissing the Event Goodbye?

Remembered when I said my days of attending AFA are numbered? Well it seems the day is finally here! AFA 2018, finally its official 10 year anniversary! Been attending this since 2008, used to be very enthusiastic at all the weeboo anime stuff. Gradually, kinda lost all interest in anime. Even if I do watch, its usually those oldie remastered animes or those I used to follow previously i.e. Dragonball Super. However, gave face and attended this event mainly because of the friends that will be there.

Tokyo Living Dead Idol - Nana & Zombies

In the horror genre, alot of people are fascinated by zombies. These creatures of the undead chasing people silly and add in with the mystery how "zombification" happens (usually unexplained) somehow excites most movie goers. So imagine a movie where we mix zombies and idols! This happened in the horror-comedy movie "Tokyo Living Dead Idol" featuring Asakawa Nana (SUPER☆GIRLS). As part of the Scream Asia Film Festival during this Halloween period, this movie is one of those featured from a list of international horror shows.
