SPW Wrestlingcity Asia! Singapore's Wrestling Finest!

Region's best wrestlers duke it out in matches held at SPW (Singapore Pro Wrestling) Wrestlingcity Asia held last Friday. Fans, no matter they're purists or casuals, were greeted with a wrestling extravaganza chucked in this little known corner of Toa Payoh. The atmosphere was lively and boy, it was entertaining!

Japan Expo X Tokyo Crazy Kawaii: Part 2 (Notall & Others)

Time to visit some social idols!

Social idols notall

Social idols? Yeap thats how Notall presented themselves as such. In the advent of social media where people love to post and upload photos online, this group capitalise on the trend by allowing fans to take photos and videos of their performances. Other usual idol groups rarely have such allowance. Just add in hashtags like #notall_photo or #notall_movie to twitter should you take photos and videos respectively. True to the 'social idol' tag, their songs and even costumes are a collaborative effort with fans.

Japan Expo X Tokyo Crazy Kawaii - Part 1 (Akishibu Project & FESTIVE)

Bangkok recently held a massive J-Culture event in Central World. The event is so massive that I have to cut my articles into 2 parts.

This event was supposed to be held last year August. However, 2 weeks prior to the event, Bangkok was hit by a horrific bomb blast which postphoned the event to another date. Perhaps in a show of support and solidarity, the line-up was increased for this event and we have no shortage of idol goodness.

2015 - In Retrospective

In a few days, we will say goodbye to 2015. As the new year beckons, its imperative that I do a write-up about the experiences gained in 2015. This year has been great so far. Most of my idoru to-do list has been fulfilled albeit some "regrets" here and there. I'll list down the top few happenings that is worthy of mention. Here we go~~

Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2015 - Everybody DD Mode

Yeay, AFASG2015! By the time I write this article, events' been done and dusted. For year's edition, I've attended all 3 days. Also, as with last year and year before, gave the main anisong concert a miss. Will explain the reason why later on.

For the first time ever took leave for this event. Never thought I'd be doing this but ever since Morning Musume did a surprise video stream last year, I'm not going to take chances. Well Morning Musume did appear but its via a video message greeting which was presented by the renowned Takamasa Sakurai, an otaku and j-culture panel expert. That event itself was on a Saturday 9.30AM. Got first hand info from one of my dancing sensei's Reina07 around 2 weeks before AFA. She told me to wear any Hello! Project related shirt just to show the support which Singapore has. Well I obliged but only to change my "Tanaka Reina" shirt once the panel is over.
