YAM – Issue 008

Amy — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 05:00:19 +0000

Kung Hei Fat Choi!
and to those who celebrate V-day, you know~~~
Happy V-day to you too. But come on! It’s the year of the tiger!

Because it’s Chinese New Year, I thought I could release YAM008 one day ahead of schedule, instead of the usual 15th date… which is lucky, because I began work on this issue quite late.

What’s on this issue? Well, we’ve got reviews for Bright Star, Nine, Princess and the Frog, New York I Love You, Anvil: The Story of Anvil, Sa Dingding’s sophomore album Harmony, SNSD, 2AM, Mosquito-voice Kim JongKook, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie and more!

Plus! We’ve got articles on the direction of Chinese Pop music, our list of actresses that should get a cable show, and our picks that should have been Best Picture nominees at the Academy Awards.

Amy — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:00:55 +0000

We made it!

A whole full year of YAM~~~ and the holidays are here.
and Award Season is here too!

On this issue we’ve got a special coverage on the Stockholm Film Fest, including a Q&A with Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga, and several reviews from the festival’s films like Precious, Up in the Air, and The Cove which will play a big part on the coming award shows… starting with nominations for the Golden Globe this morning ;P

We’ve also got reviews for the much unappreciated Mary and Max, No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti (Taiwan’s official selection for the Academy Awards), Season 4 of Dexter, Family Outing, Sasameki Koto, Les Amants Papillons, and loads of albums including 2pm, Shinee, Rihanna, Crowd Lu and The Swell Seasons.

Is that good?

Pixel Kata-ABC

Amy — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:30:41 +0000

I have been testing FontStruct, so I began working on a pixel-based font that had the Katakana alphabet — sorry, no Hiragana yet. I still have to figure out stuff, but I felt really happy how this turned out for some of the characters used on the Spanish, French and Swedish languages.

So please, feel free to download. Though I haven’t manage to figure out why the Katakana won’t show on Photoshop. But everything else works! Feel free to use, and if you’ve got comments — Please, be kind xD

YAM – Issue 006!

Amy — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:57:37 +0000

This issue marks our first full round, next issue will be our anniversary!
So we’ll be working on that right away!

Anyway, we’re ahead one week! But today is October 8th – We are commemorating (actually, we celebrate) the Battle of Angamos… which we lost against Chile. But we still celebrate. Why celebrate a lost battle? That’s the sadness of our lack of heroes, in my opinion — but you can turn your head and sa… Every lost battle is a winning, or something like that.

Moving on! On this YAM, we’ve got reviews on Inglourious Basterds, Mother, Treeless Mountain, Luck, Honookaa Boy. We also comment on a lot of albums, including G-Dragon, Arashi, Big Bang, Imogen Heap, BackStreet Boys, Olafur Arnalds… and Chang Shilei. Alongside playlist suggestions by more c_music!!!

We are also reviewing Juri Ueno and the Five Bags, Mad Men, and fuzz over some shows this season.

And we’ve got the books back! This time with a review of Cusco Bizarro by Maria Luisa del Rio~
