Started my morning with clips of Japanese-dubbed Legend of the Condor Heroes 2003.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong's meeting by the river.

Fujiwara Tatsuya, of the Batle Royale and Death Note fame, is Shishio Makoto in the new Rurouni Kenshin live-action movie. [ x ] I was surprised until I remembered he's now at the right age.

Not a happy news: A couple died in the Riau blaze.

Anime Festival Asia in Indonesia will have, among others, Hirano Aya, Kalafina, May'n, and Aoi Eir. Wahhh.

During the month of Ramadan, an Indonesian TV station will broadcast Sailormoon and Saint Seiya after sahur hours. I would've been thrilled if the series weren't dubbed.

1. Huang Xiaoming's The Patriot Yue Fei will be the first Chinese historical television series to be broadcast on HBO (scroll down past the photoshoots to read the news).

2. Food and beverages to help keep you alert during writing.

3. An Indonesian TV station held a boyband/girlband competition, and the winner was the girlband Sunni (pronounced like the English word "sunny"). They're cute and they can sing, so I hope someone is willing to write marketable songs for them. Here they are singing "Hey Ladies" with Rossa, the original singer, in the grand final. The lyrics are basically about how ladies should be smart and alert. ( Click )
