Ishikawa’s capital city has stayed fairly quiet in the shadow of its famous sister, Kyoto. Like Kyoto, Kanazawa avoided bombing in World War II, and is now one of the best-preserved Edo-period cities in Japan. It offers all the shrines, temples, castles, and historical districts you would expect, along with regional draws like insight into the powerful Maeda samurai clan. Secluded in the mountainous Hokuriku region, Kanazawa was once difficult for tourists to reach, but its popularity is now soaring thanks to the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line in 2015. Kanazawa’s compact size and the abundance of tourist information…
It’s a few days into Ramadhan and muslims around the world are fasting in adherence to this Islamic tenet. So is it the same for muslims in Malaysia? Well, here’s three things you need to know about the Ramadhan fasting month in Malaysia. 1.It’s not just about not eating and drinking. When thinking about fasting, the first thing that comes to mind is going hungry (and thirsty) as a result of refraining from eating and drinking, for a time – in this case from dawn to sunset. While this is certainly true, it’s actually the most basic part of fasting…

On April 2, 2018, an Oh My Girl sub-unit, OMG Banhana released the track “Banana Allergy Monkey.” On the surface, it’s a cute, quirky song about a monkey who loves bananas, but sadly, he cannot have bananas because he is allergic. The cute story, music, and theme makes the track have a nostalgic feel while maintaining a sense of sweetness and innocence. The monkey and safari-themed outfits and 1990s pop-culture props is reminiscent of eccentric themes by Orange Caramel, Crayon Pop, Cocosori, and the Crayon Pop sub-unit Strawberry Milk, and for some K-Pop fans, the quirkier the group, the better.…

Earlier in March 2018, it was reported by Sports Hochi that Japanese vocal group Kalafina were expected to disband this spring following a dispute between them and their agency, Spacecraft Produce.

At the time, Spacecraft did not reveal who was leaving, but it was recently reported that Keiko Kubato would be the member departing the group. On Kalafina’s website, Kubato said: I, Keiko, would like to inform you that April 1, 2018 marked the end of my contract with Spacecraft Production Co., Ltd – the…

The spring has finally arrived in Korea, although the recent state of the chilly temperature might have indicated otherwise. The weather has been overly fickle from last year’s winter until now; gracing us with ‘sunshine’ and ‘sudden snow’ in late January and February while it hardly even snowed during December – South Korea’s usual period for mass snow. According to the lunar calendar, the spring season was supposed to have started from February 4th for this year. But regardless of how the weather has been, springtime in Korea doesn’t last very long (it’s actually the shortest season of the…
South Korea’s first ever female President, Park Geun-hye was the first-born to Korea’s third President, Park Chung-Hee, a.k.a the military dictator in Korean history. As the daughter of the Korean President, Park Geun-hye grew up with privileges but on the other hand, she didn’t get to experience what you’d consider a normal childhood. Circumstances got extremely harsh for her when both of her parents got assassinated. (Her mother was shot by a North Korean sympathizer in 1974, while her father was killed by his intelligence chief in 1979) Thus, it is a widely known fact that the current President…
If you are a big fan of Korean food but you don’t have time to go to restaurants all the time, try making some easy, healthy homemade Bibimbap. Bibimbap was my first introduction to Korean food. Meaning, “mixed rice,” a Bibimbap recipe is comprised of warm rice topped with different seasoned vegetables, sauce like gochujang (korean red pepper paste), and often meat and/or an egg. It’s all mixed up, and usually just eaten with a spoon (no chopsticks needed) It always seemed wonderfully colorful and complex when a bowl of Bibimbap would be placed in front of me, and I’d…

Korean Celebrities who are Biracial or of mixed Korean Heritage We’re living in the 21st century, but it’s still quite rare to find biracial or mixed celebrities of Korean heritage, active in the Korean entertainment industry. You’ll often see models for commercials, extras in dramas and movies who are biracial or partially Korean – but in order to attain leading roles and become a recognizable in Korea, being a native-level speaker of Korean is a necessity and one of the biggest obstacles for those who want to break into the industry. If the entertainers do not have the language…
