Below is the campaign’s commercial with the models doing some hip ‘caligraphy’…

Chinese MV of Love by Taiwanese singer Hebe Tian from pop group S.H.E. The song is the first promotional track from the singer’s debut solo album To Hebe…
Sophisticated stuff. Not my cup of tea to be frank, but I like the fact that she’s trying something different from the usual S.H.E stuff.

Rookie girl group Nine Muses is featured on Elle Korean magazine [Kr]. Dubbed as model-idols, the girls do have the look and figure to become commercial and magazine darlings; too bad they can’t sing much…

Music video of Hello Again, Old Places (Hello, Again ～昔からある場所～) by New York based Japanese singer JUJU, a cover of My Little Lover’s 1995 hit but with a totally different approach. Nice song with a tear jerking storyline…
The song is used for Sony Alpha camera’s recent commercial series; this particular MV is arguably their most successful viral marketing for the new NEX model.

Kolbasti (Kolbastı, lit. caught red-handed by the police) is a Turkish dance created in the 1930s. It’s still popular these days especially during weddings and parties…
I first learnt about this dance via a news in New Zealand where a Turkish man was accused of beating his wife when they were actually performing the traditional dance (caught red handed indeed lol) which involved moves that resemble punches, kicks, slaps and choking (as claimed by the defendant).
Judging from the video he might have a valid point of argument (1:00-1:20 for example), though I haven’t noticed any online clips that reached the extremity of ‘punching’ or ‘choking’ yet. Regardless, it’s one fun dance.

Asian American reality show K-Town is becoming talk of the town lately. It’s likened to Asian version of Jersey Shore, which I have no clue what it is, but from the promo stills it’s not hard to guess that it’s gonna be greasy and cheesy…
