Next news - there's already a full PV version of MilkyWay's Tan Tan Taan. It was made available at Dohhh UP! You can click - here and watch it from Dohhh UP! But if you prefer youtube more - I'll embed it here for your convenience.

As I've said - I like this song and I like this PV, though they are less catchy than MilkyWay's previous single, but it's great nevertheless.

Tsugunaga Momoko's yet untitled photobook has been announced a while ago. No new information available. There will be two releases - photobook+dvd making of(on 21 of November) and a separate dvd(on 3rd of December).

I think that's pretty much everything for now.

Thanks for your time.

El photobook de L'arc~en~Ciel en París que se venía anunciando desde el mes de Junio ya ha salido a la venta en Japón. Ayer la web Catchbon comenzó a realizar los envíos y ya hay quien subió algunas muestras del contenido a su blog!

Por ahora he encontrado algunas imágenes en el blog 7th Heaven ^-^

It has been announced that Berryz Koubou's Momoko Tsugunaga will release her 3rd photobook. It will be released on November 21, 2008, while an Image DVD will be released on December 13, 2008. The photobook will come with a bonus "Making of" DVD.

Momoko Tgunaga's third photobook will be released on 2008-11-21. It is currently untitled. An Image DVD will be released on 2008-12-13 and is filmed in Okinawa.

Anyways - as I promised - here's the pictures. And thanks to people who shared them.

There's also some screencaps from dvd making of - but I think I won't put all of them here, because there's too many. I will only put some good ones.

As you can see now - these look really promising. Personally, I can't wait for it! Sayumi is perfect as usual plus she got even better(like I've already said).

Thanks for your time.

Alla fine arrivo a casa e scarico tutte le mie belle fotine sul portatile. Solitamente se sto via una settimana non ne faccio meno di 200 (sono esagerata lo so!). Teniamo presente che alcune foto saranno da buttare e altre da ritoccare; sicuro non faccio come molti, che le stampano tutte senza prima averle selezionate e/o modificate. Per me questo si chiama spreco di soldi!
Non nego che anche a me piace aver delle foto in versione cartacea da poter far vedere ad amici e parenti. Ok che il portatile si possa trasportare, ma non sempre si rivela comodo e funzionale e allo stesso tempo pure un album fotografico gigante non è che sia il massimo della maneggevolezza.

Che fare quindi? Un Photobook!Un libro con le foto stampate direttamente sulle pagine!
Su internet troviamo diversi siti che ci permettono di realizzarne uno e tra tutti ho scelto Myphotobook.it

Appena iscritti si riceve uno sconto di 5 euro per il primo acquisto e i prezzi dei vari libri proposti è davvero vantaggioso.
Per realizzare il nostro photobook occorre scaricare un programma che risulta essere compatibile sia con windows che con Apple.

Il programma è semplice e intuitivo (in più è divertente e stimola la creatività): ci presenta il formato del libro da noi scelto e possiamo posizionare le foto a nostro piacimento in ogni pagina, scegliendo noi il layout, il colore, le cornici, le sfumature e tutte le possibili opzioni presenti.
Quando il nostro libro è pronto sarà la società tedesca myphotobook a stamparlo e inviarcelo per posta o corriere (a voi la scelta).
Il metodo di pagamento può essere effettuato oltre che con carte di credito (che non tutti hanno) anche con bonifico bancario o con addebito.
Ogni passo che andrà dal pagamento alla spedizione verrà tutto segnalato mediante una mail e per qualsiasi problema vi è una indirizzo e-mail per l' assistenza, che con me si è dimostrata efficiente e veloce nel rispondere (risponde in Italiano, non solo in Tedesco, tranquilli!)
Quando il mio primo photobook è arrivato a casa, nonostante inizialmente fossi scettica sul possibile risultato, ho dovuto ricredermi. Il photobook è venuto bene, stampato perfettamente, le foto sono nitide e il libro si presenta maneggevole e originale. Bello! Contentissima del risultato.
Ve lo consiglio vivamente, perché oltre che essere un buon modo per raccogliere le foto più belle è anche un pensiero originale da regalare.

Conoscete qualche sito simile per creare questi splendidi e personali capolavori? Li avete mai provati?

Qui sotto alcune immagini del libro, che ahimè non riescono a fargli onore!
         

Sayumi is great here - but I don't like the concept of bikini-shot on cover - I'd rather see something more interesting and intriguing. But I never judge anything by its cover - so I'll see what the book itself turns out to be. And it's going to be released on 26th of September - so it's not that long wait.

Next - if you remember - I already posted here news regarding formation of new unit for Shugo Chara. We already know who are the members, what the unit is called and even what their first single is called, as well as when it's going to be released.

So the unit is called Shugo Chara Egg. It consists of Hello!Pro Eggs - Fukuda Kanon, Wada Ayaka, Saho Akari, Maeda Yuuka.

This is a comparison picture - so left to right - Saho Akari, Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon.

There's also a lot of other pictures but you can go either to JPH!P forum to get them or to Shugo Chara Egg.com and get them yourselves.

Their debut single is called Minna no Tamago and it will be released on 10th of December.

Now what I think about this unit - before I start to listen them - the unit is pretty good - even though I'm not H!P Egg fan - I like it from the very beginning. I also like the outfits - though they are very different from Buono!'s one. But this unit is more closely related to the anime, as far as I know, than Buono!

And also - regarding Buono! - it will not be disbanded any soon, that's as far as I see.

I will put some photos after all - these are from Sanspo.com article about Shugo Chara Egg debut live. I will probably translate it later.

But that's not all the news. One more thing left. You probably know that audition in Taiwan "Hello!Project New Star" was held by Hello!Project. It was held - because now it is over and the winners are announced. Both on Hello!Project Chinese Official Site and in Tsunku's blog - an information regarding this has been posted. For now I'll post up photo from the event and member photos, you can also see them here(hello-project.com.tw) and here(Tsunku blog) - but I'll post them up here for your convenience.

Zao Guo Rong(16) - Zeng De Ping (17) - Wu Si Auan(20)

Gu Yun(12) - Wu Zhao Xian - Lan Ai Zi

I didn't follow these auditions - just because I wasn't that interested in them, but since it's H!P related - I've posted them here. As far as I've read - they will probably take training in Japan and then return to Taiwan to make a debut single or something - so they are basically an addition to main H!P as H!P China.

I think that for now these are all news.

Thanks for your time.

UPDATE: Okay, I don't want to disappoint you, but it seems that these rumors are total rumors that are unlikely to come true... The picture above, as I already said is fan-made and has nothing to do with real announces. So this rumor news are closed. Though maybe some time later something new comes up... Who knows.

Thanks for your time.

DBSK: A Week Holiday Limited Edition Slight Review

I have just checked in YesAsia and I am absolutely shocked that they raised the price to these photobooks now that all the other stores who have sold them at a lower price.

At the moment, YesAsia has listed:

Dong Bang Shin Ki Photobook: A Week Holiday - It's Stylish

Up for grabs at a wooping $59.99 ($60)

seriously, up to this point, i don't understand why bother making it with .99 cents, the blasted thing is going to equal to $60 bucks short one penny either way!

Dong Bang Shin Ki Photobook: A Week Holiday - Camping

Up for grabs at a wooping $49.99 ($50)

I think the same comment above applies to this one.

Unless someone who actually has this book can verify that these boys are at least half naked, prancing around in nothing but a fig leaf over their jewels...I can't seem to find a reason to purchase this thin, over priced book. Knowing SM Entertainment, the likelihood of that happening, is only in my dreams.

Lets all cry in the corner because we are too broke...

Edit: The link stopped working...sorry

I got the colors by using the color mixer. I hardly ever used the color mixer. No, wait - I don't remember using the color mixer before now. but after making these, I think I'll try it out more often.

On with the graphics...

^ That one was later changed into this:

Genres: Crime, Thriller, Action, Drama
Plot: Infernal Affairs II goes back in time acting as a prequel to show us the powerful history of the first films lead characters and how it was that they came to be involved in this hard boiled tale of crime and deception.
This chapter of the saga begins with the assassination of Kwun, a major triad player and head of the Ngai family. Following his death, chaos ensues amongst competitors and family alike until Kwun’s son Hau (Francis Ng) steps in to fill the void. Hau, coming from a background in accounting, seems like an unlikely replacement, but he quickly proves his worth by manipulating, and ultimately controlling, every crime lord in the area.
In the midst of all this we are introduced to the lead characters from the first film, Ming (Edison Chen filling this role as a youthful alternative to Andy Lau) and Yan (Shawn Yue making his appearance as a not so grizzled Tony Leung). The two begin as they were established in the first film; Ming as a fledgling criminal looking to get his foot in the door, and Yan, a police academy hopeful. From here we follow the two through the early years, learning just what it takes to survive in the world of the double agent. [KFCC]
