Contrary to everyone’s belief, Cynthia and I did not spend 4 days in front of our computers playing our favorite online game. We have hardly touched that game during this holiday. Ha! It is for the love of Chinese tradition (hard to explain so we shall leave it there). It is a rare opportunity to [...]

Taylor Swift · World Tour Live · Speak Now – A Must Have!
January 11th, 2012 No Comments
Everybody loves Taylor Swift. Even those who have not heard of her before instantly fall in love when I play her concert recording at my home. Including my 2 years old niece who clapped and danced and looked merry and gay. The most amazing thing is that Taylor Swift was only 21 when she performed [...]

October 1st, 2011 2 Comments
The barrier of our imagination is often defined by our experience. If you have not seen a Japanese concert by Ayumi Hamasaki before, it is hard to describe what you have missed. Let me say, it is mind blowing. Cynthia does not know her music. But she has thoroughly enjoyed watching the music recording. She [...]

If you recall, one night I had a terrible insomnia. And one of the few activities I did awake in my supposed sleeping hours was to watch the Blu-ray version of a Hong Kong movie called “Break Up Club” on my TV (wearing my wireless headset of course). I love it so much that when [...]

There are behind-the-scene footages narrated through the interviews of Vanessa and her band.

Symphony: Live in Vienna – Sarah Brightman – Beautiful Voice, Beautiful Cathedral, Beautiful Recording
March 24th, 2009 No Comments
This is one of those recordings that when you listen to the audio format, you feel so-so. But when you watch the video format, you would go: Wow, this is really great! Like that Within Temptation concert DVD I’ve watched lately. Maybe it is the beautiful acoustic nature of a Cathedral (in the old days, Churches [...]

Within Temptation & The Metropole Orchestra – Black Symphony – What A Feast!
February 24th, 2009 1 Comment
What a feast, what a proud moment for the Dutch. KERRANG! magazine wrote: This really is the greatest show on earth. OK. Greatest is relative. “Black Symphony” by the Dutch band Within Temptation and the Dutch Metropole Orchestra is probably one of my top 5 most favorite concert recordings. The greatest to me is Pink Floyd’s [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2007-08 Anniversary (DVD) – Raising the Bar Once Again
August 23rd, 2008 18 Comments
Foreign as it may sound to you, Ayumi has been a great inspiration to me. It is a pity that many find language a barrier that is too high to cross. Even if you are not into Ayumi’s music, watching her concert recordings will certainly open your eyes to what a live performance can be: [...]

In Love With Korean Movies – My Sassy Girl and Windstruck
January 7th, 2007 5 Comments
Where was I back in 2001 when My Sassy Girl was released? I cannot recall. I kept missing on the opportunity to watch this monster hit six years ago. Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I always try to look this title up with no luck. Just last month, when I placed my order for the [...]
