thanks for the good work again Fuwari. =)

Sigh my yuko site is now currently down due to too many visitors. Kinda worried the admin would ban me, the host was the only free ad-free hoster i found online. =(

btw Tu_triky have you thought about learning chinese ? coz actually there are plenty more version of j-drama in chinese subs than english. I looked around for a long time but din really see any group subbing Grumpy Gene in english. Think this is especially so with the less popular series

lol that green tea CM is so cute.. lol. melting from just looking at yuko:P

i am aware of that reality...unfortunately i don't have the wherewithal or the time needed to invest in chinese...sincerely, before i did that i would continue my study of the japanese language, seriously. i took two years in college...just a bit rusty since it's been so long. i have thought about it, but not so seriously.

lol what time is it over there at your country. Currently early morning over here so was expecting a reply so fast.

Anyway yah actually mastering jap would be an even better solution, this way you can just watch the raw files.Well thinking of picking up a course on jap soon. Took a short course during high school, so kinda make more sense to continue with it.

Beside it would really be helpful when I finally get to travel to Japan

well i had an abiding interest in japan when i was in college so i took several courses re: Japan as well as the language. btw, it's about 6pm in the evening. yes, japanese ppl in japan usually appreciate someone speaking their language, i think.

Hey Tu_Triky. Found Episode 1 of Grumpy Gene's soft sub. Was wondering whether you would want it.

thanks but i already have that one! as discussed previously the reason there are no more softsubs available for Fukigen na Gene is the translator of the first episode has joined the Studio Oto crew to continue as part of their group project....thanks anyway!

Ah. Hard luck then. I guess you'd got to wait it out.

Fret not! Now we're just waiting for Haru no Yuki to show!~

Okay for the Singaporean Yuko fans. I saw some interesting stuff in Orchard Ngee Ann City's Kinokuniya while I was shopping for my Rina '06 calendar...

Near the anime section, at the front shelves closest to the cashier, is a poster of a 'More' magazine. With a special interview of our dear Yuko-san in it! The magazines are right in front of the poster.

Originally I was thinking of getting it. But wouldn't it seem strange for a guy to pickup a ladies mag?

You wouldn't be the first to do so...

just buy the magazine, and endure the few minutes of slight embarassment, i'll do it for Nana Katase, whenever she is on some beauty mag. Bmw could tell you about the ryoko-beauty mag's as well.

oh that's going to take a while too, tho! the movie just premiered a few days ago.....it will be several months until i can see it unless it happens to be playing in a limited engagement, locally, by some stroke of luck.

Swell! Thanks for the advice. Okay. I'd wait for the coming weekends. Probably pop by there again. Hopefully I'd be able to borrow a scanner from my neighbour and get the articles scanned.

Its a hefty 9 US dollars... 17.90SGD here... darn.

@ Tu_triky : Well, I hope our local screens here in Singapore get it. Think that time one local cinema retailer 'Cathay' brought in a batch, including 'Ima Ai ni Yukimasu' and the movie version of 'Sekachu'. Both were very successful.

So quiet... -.-"

Well, here's abit of what I've got to share...

nice scan of her there fuwari. wow, really like her current hairstyle and look. seems like as she grows older she becomes more classy and stylish.

anyway as my yuko shrine is currently down till the end of the month heres a preview of the 2006 desktop/calendar (jan) i'm making for yuko-chan. its set for 1280 by 1024. =) currently this wallpaper is on my office computer.. *swoon*

okie weekend is round the corner hopefully i can finish up another month and maybe find time to post some scans. i might sneak by kino to check out the magazine scans haha hopefully i dun get caught by anyone familiar.

lol anyway bwmracer's ryoko thread is still da best.. the scans and pics are really endless.... lol we need to work harder here.

I know I spent quite a bit on that magazine. As my friend puts it...

"Take the total amount of pages in the magazine, divided by the sum (17.90SGD)... 5 pages Yuko interview..."

And he promptly calls me a crazy Yuko fan or simply someone with too much cash to spend.

Oh yeah. The Haru no Yuki novel is on sale in Kinokuniya as well. Saw it on their newly arrived inventory stocklist on the wall.

Don't worry. I pay Kinokuniya a visit well TOO often. So if I happen to see someone scouting around with a cam or browsing deeply into the magazine... I'd probably have a good idea who that is.

*Groans* Expensive magazine... and its a winter style special! I can't hand it to my Mom after I'm done with it... Singapore's all equatorial. Oh well. Guess I'd keep it...

But I did realise one thing. She's probably done with the birth of her child already. Can't read Japanese properly. But she looks in good shape.

BTW, nice wallpaper there. Especially those pair of legs... oh yeah.

Lets keep this thread shinin' folks!
