Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is a 15 volumes manga that was also produced into a 26 series animation, written by Bisco Hatori. It’s a real interesting teen romance manga which is surely to get burst out with laughter with its ...]]></description>

More and more rooms were made for these new faces to excel and prove themselves worthy of idol hood. But that doesn’t mean they are forgetting bands that have existed for so long. As a matter of fact, most big bands in Japan have their own loyal fans and concerts stands and sits were always full. They are practically already millionaires.

		<description><![CDATA[Narimiya Hiroki might have been the first Japanese actor that I’ve heard doesn’t mind doing everything to give his 100 percent towards acting to prove his passion, including doing nude scenes!
That was probably a prose to show how serious he is towards his acting career, but then again, he was just plainly serious about stripping in front of the camera lenses.
Narimiya Hiroki was born on September 14, 1982, and raised in Tokyo, japan. However, both his parents are Okinawan which makes him an Okinawan descent. That was probably one factor ...]]></description>

Consisting of six fine looking men who flourished individually as well, they are ready to rock on Japan more now and in the future.

The Japanese modern music industry had seen a huge contribution from the Johnny’s Jimusho, established by the ‘father of boy bands’ – Mr. Johnny Kitagawa since way back in the 1960s. If you are a fan of the recent days Japanese boy bands, perhaps you might find it a little weird to find out that the template of their music was actually much more or less based on enka and ...]]></description>

You might see his face randomly on the TV and certain movies, but he’s actually a well known and respected public figure in the Japanese world of entertainment. You’ll be astounded to see his performance in samurai dramas and movies, and the world got to see the best of him from ‘The Last Samurai’ and also through ‘Sunshine’ which he co-starred next to big names like Tom Cruise and Asian martial art superstar babe, Michelle Yeoh. You’ll probably caught ...]]></description>

The world outside Japan regards whatever kind of animation that the country produced as anime or Japanese animation and it was originated way back in 1917. It’s that old! And we only thought it was somewhere nearer to this century we’re living in now, right? Anime is a major boomer and real big business in Japan, and it has been spreading around the world too. There are millions if not billions of ...]]></description>

With the groovy songs and complicated dance moves, Namie Amuro is really a superb singer who has lived up to her titles, even though there were jumps between her genre of music. Anybody who have seen her on stage would know what I mean. Her performances were always energetic, non-stop dancing with lots of difficult moves (try that with live singing as well) and great showmanship that earns five thumbs ...]]></description>

The anime went hiatus for a while before the show was aired again on October 13, 2009. It was announced then the show would continue. Until when? That’s yet to be decided.
For information sake, Crayon Shin Chan was originally a manga or Japanese comic that follows the life of Shinnosuke Nohara or ...]]></description>

I simply love manga, and I’m not embarrass to say that it was one of the reason as to why I started learning Japanese language. Perhaps the word comics is much more familiar to you right?

It’s time for another top Japanese artiste / band profile. This time, it’ll be on L’Arc~en~ciel, or most commonly known among the Japanese fans as ‘Laruku’, since pronouncing their full band’s name properly is pretty difficult, even for me. L’Ar~en~ciel means Rainbow in French, in Japanese, Rainbow is pronounced as ‘Niji’. Laruku have been around for almost 18 years and they consist of four members:-
Takarai Hideto or more commonly known as Hyde, born on 29th January 1969 in Wakayama, Japan. The lead singer and main lyricist of Laruku and also ...]]></description>
