(Japanese online gossip source: Idolgravure) okay I know I’m late on the Kitagawa Keiko-plastic-surgery pictures, but since there’s some other gossip on K.K thought I’d just slip this in.

On Crows Zero

29Mar08

I watched it with Lisa yesterday night and it was FABULOUS! However I have two points to make. 1) WHY oh WHY did Straits Times Life! give it TWO and a HALF stars (out of five)??? Actually I’ve always mistrusted such ranking /grading schemes but I must just rant about it again, because I had […]
