Rip Slyme

I just heard about a Japanese group called Rip Slyme but when I first googled them I kept looking for "slim slipper" becuse I couldn't remember the name of the group. Anyway the guy who told me about them was in my Lighting 1 class. The funny thing is his name is Akira but he's not Japanese. That may not be funny to you but I thought it was interesting. Anyway he should me a video of theirs called I.N.G. which I couldn't find on youtube becasue of so many things called I.N.G. I also tried looking up "My Style Vaio" and still couldn't find it. Well he told me the name again and I found them. One of the reasons I liked the video is because they have a shot called "lighting" that I thought was funny becasue it reminded me of the class we were in when he told me. They were playing with lights used in filming, I thought it was funny so I liked the video. Here it is so you guys can see it.

Sentai

For those of you who might not know Sentai shows are the orgianl versions of the Power Rangers in America. But I guess you'll figure that out when you watch the videos. I wanted to make a comment about the show and the pink ranger but I figured this is also a good way to expose some people to the Sentai shows. There are other shows that are just as popular and old like Sentai like Kamon Rider or Masked Rider. Japan has lots of other shows like "Blue Swat" and "SPACE SHERIFF SHAIDER" and "Cyber Cops".

Anyway the comment I wanted to make was that often when the show has two female characters one of them is usually always pink. The other is a different usually Yellow or white. Anyway what I wanted to say was that I noticed that usually the other ranger is cuter than the Pink Ranger. Although the Pink ranger in all the shows is usually supposed to be the cute character in all the shows.

Here are a few examples of other rangers that are usually cuter than the Pink Ranger.
The Best example is Deka Ranger


(DekaRanger)


(MegaRanger) Another good example and my fravoite of all the shows


(Five Man)


(BOUKENGER) Here the Pink Ranger is actually cute but I still think that the Yellow Ranger is cuter


(ChangeMan) The Pink Ranger actually looks cute here

(OhRanger)


(FlashMan) The Yellow Ranger is waaay cuter than the Pink


(BioMan)

Here are some show that only have one Female ranger


(ZyuRanger)

(KakuRanger) Kane Kusogi is the Man


(HURRICANGER) She's not Pink but boy she sure is cute


(DaiRanger) This show is pretty awsome too


(SPACE SHERIFF SHAIDER) This is another cool looking show


(FlashMan) This is the Korean opening for Flash Man, I thought it sounded cute. But the year is Wrong 1997 was actually MegaRangers

I found this while I was looking up all these videos. It actually looks kinda cool, Ranger in Thai Land. I wonder what Satoko would say if she saw this

Busy

I've been quite busy lately, also I've been trying to act more like my friend "Lazybones" and not doing much of anything else. I've gottent a new film yesterday called The Restless - 중천 (中天) but haven't seen it yet. Anyway this weekend was spent mostly playing Resident Evil 4. Which I've already beaten but now on professional mode I'm find Krauser difficult to beat. So I'm playing it all over again in hopes that I can load the clear staged data so I would have stonger guns when I fight Krauser again in Professional mode. Even though I really should be registering for class since Columbia college screwed me over for next semister. Actually out about 12 new movies I've only seen 1 of them so I haven't even been watching any films. I have... actually I've been slacking on that as well I was about to say I've been praticeing my Korean but this last week has been kinda hard with just finished midterms and now getting ready for finals. Now I'm trying to let people know about Wizard World 2007, and I've....
ah ha. Now I know where I've been spending my time doing. I've watched most of Battlestar Galatica miniseries series and season 1 stright and only have one and a half disk left of season two to watch.
Grace Park is hot, but I'll write about that later. Not only that but I've also been watching the reruns on PAX TV in Chicago. I've gotten carried away with finding out who the Cylons are. I've looked on the internet for spoilers and found out who 11 of the 12 human models are. Even though on the show StarBuck just met the 5th on Caperca and the president is on the run from Commander Odama. I've also heard that season 4 might be the last season.

Frog River

Actually I've been busy with school. Summer Session is a lot faster than I realized. For some reason the teachers give the midter three weeks before the final which is too close if you ask me. Anyway all the movies I orderd came in last month and I haven't been able to watch them all. But I did see frog river, which I thought was good. It's a short (90min) indie film form the Japan. It's distrubited by a company called Grasshopper which is getting know for distributing indie films. Anyway it's about a guy named Tsutomu (Ryo Kase - 加瀬 亮) who's in an art college and in love with a girl named Mizuno. Anyway, most of the movie is about him trying to hang out with her. His only two friends in the movie know that he loves her and one of that uses it to his advantage. Anyway one of the most interesting aspects is how the director uses Mise en scène (fancey college word they teach in film school), or at least the wardrobe with every character having something written on their shirt that tells you something about the character. Too bad I hate Kanji and couldn't understand what's written on their cloths. Except at the end when they told me when they switched house with end. Although we never see the Mizuno, and of his Friends, Kaori (Machiko Ono - 尾野真千子) is a girl that likes him but he's too obsessed with Mizuno to notice. I thought she was cute in the film, that's why I put up her pic now. It's a good film that I recommend

Sale

Virgin Megastore is going out of business and has everything marked down 35%. Which means this is a great time to get some Japanese movies either from their international section or thier Criterion Collection. Actually I got carried away and bought quite a few DVDs and forgot to leave some money to oreder the Perfume CD. Well, here are some of the movies I picked to expand my ever growing movie collection.

Perfume (コンピューターシティー)

I just heard about this group called perfume and thought they were really good. The last Japanese techno i heard was the E.L.T. (Every Little Thing) techno album. As soon as I get some moeny I'm gonna order their CDs, here's a video for whoever's interested

New Books

While looking for a few books to help me write my zombie movie I went to a book store not that far from here (Powell’s Book Store 828s. Wabash). I was looking for ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE and WORLD WAR Z. (By the way I did that calculate risk test they have on they’re website which calculates you possibility of survival during the zombie war. My highest score was 32%, and I’d like to say the questions are a little bias, because I’m pretty sure I’d survive unless I was trying to protect a girl) Anyway they didn’t have the books there but I found some other ones that I thought were be really interesting.
