Cyborg She (DVD) (English Subtitled) (2-Disc Deluxe Edition) (Taiwan Version)
Cyborg She (DVD) (English Subtitled) (2-Disc Deluxe Edition) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3
(1)Our Price: US$35.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:February 21, 2009 A brilliant twist!I first watched this movie when it was screened in the theatres. Not expecting it to be the "most" fantastic movie, i was totally blown away by it when i came out of the theatre.
The story starts with very casual, funny and light-hearted plots - how the girl met the guy, how a cyborg influences the most 'boring' guy in his daily life and how a cyborg settles into the uncertainty of a unfamiliar lifestyle, though with a tinge of sadness when 'he' explains the reason why the cyborg is there for him.
Story soon starts to pick up pace and move into darker storyline - how the male lead couldn't fall in love with a cyborg and the Tokyo earthquake disaster etc.
Towards the end, i seriously thought it was going to be a sad ending, but through the careful and brilliant sequencing of the scenes, it really took me away!
Personally, apart from the twist at the end, I feel that what make this this movie so good are those little but cute and funny scenes weavering in and out of the entire movie. The casting of Koide Keisuke as Jiro and Ayase Haruka as the Cyborg is also brilliant as they both perform extremely well in portraying their characters.
This is a highly recommended movie for movie-goers who enjoy a little sci-fi, romance, comedy and - an unexpected twist.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

January 13, 2007 great!! subtitles for the DVD!firstly i must thank SMtown for releasing TVXQ's first concert DVD because i'm sure many TVXQ fans have been waiting for this DVD to be released ever since their concert in early 2006!! this is especially true for fans who didn't managed to catch the concert LIVE (like me for example)!!!
secondly, the line-up for the concert is great - bringing the fans lots of great hits from our boys over their 2-years in the business, and also giving our boys individual opportunities to show their talents as well. remember the individual performances by our boys!?? though Changmin's part is not included in this DVD and i wonder why!??
thirdly, i really wanna say a big THANK YOU to the DVD producer and SMTowm to include Chinese subtitles in this DVD!! i know it's disappointing to many international fans because only know English. in fact i also think it's a bit wierd why wouldn't they include English in the susbitles as it is the international language. but still, i'm glad that at least Chinese subtitles is included because i understand Chinese. i believe though the Chinese subtitles did not benefit ALL fans, it does serve its purpose for all the Chinese fans.
last but not least, to be honest i have their 1st Concert CD so i am already anticipating the heat when i watch the gig on DVD!! i knew the show is great when i listened to the CD previously but i was thinking "it's such a pity i can't see the show for myself"!! now thanks to the DVD i can watch the gig (not LIVE but at least i can see the show)!!
please get yourself a copy if you call yourself a TVXQ fan cause who can miss out their idols' very 1st Concert (be it LIVE or not)!!!??
please support TVXQ by buying their original releases.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
January 8, 2007 best TOKIO album!!
personally i love this album to bits!! i feel that this is TOKIO's best album thus far!!
all the songs in this album are nothing but great!! this album consists of the usual TOKIO-fast-tempo catchy tunes like [HUM A TUNE] [Concrete.Japanese.Sunday] & [Hanauta]; the TOKIO-ballads like [GREEN] [faith]; and last but not least totally-TOKIO-style songs (mixed rock with old-school jpop) like [Live my live!] [Midnight Rose] [Phonograph] [SCREAM] [I'm mine] [ding dong] [glider (album version)]!!
this is really a very worth album to buy and collect if you are a TOKIO lover!!
also with this special edition A is a 8-cm mini CD which consists of one track of the TOKIO-station where the lads talk about some issues (i don't know the content as i'm a japanese-idiot) and 2 other bonus tracks.
PS: edition B comes with a 8-cm mini CD which features about 5 bonus tracks!!
please support TOKIO by buying the original releases.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
'One Litre of Tears' Original Soundtrack (Hong Kong Version)
'One Litre of Tears' Original Soundtrack (Hong Kong Version)
(2)Our Price: US$17.99Related promotions:January 8, 2007 awesome show brings FAB OST!!this is indeed the saddest and most melancholic j-drama i have ever seen. i'm not exaggerating, i cried from episode 1 all the way till the very last episode.
you may think i am writing a review for the drama instead of the OST, but you are wrong. why do i find this OST fantastic!?? answer is simple - this OST simply brings out the entire feel of the drama.
firstly i must say all the songs are fabulous. the producers of this drama really chose the right songs for the show. i especially love the instrumental version of the theme song by K - Only Human. everytime i listened to it i teared because it reminds me of aya. honestly.
but the downside of this OST is that the actual songs are not included instead an instrumental ones are. in fact the main problem with this OST is that all the tracks are instrumental.
nonetheless, i would still rate the OST a 8/10 because while listening to it you will really be drawn back into the drama as all the instrumental pieces are played throughout the show.
please support the artistes by buying original releases.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 29, 2006 get personal with TVXQ!!!i've just finished watching the DVDs!! it took me almost 5 long (and enjoyable) hours to finish the 3-DVDs!! because i enjoyed it so much as a TVXQ fan, i'm gonna give a review on the DVDs, hoping to let all fans alike get a feel of it before deciding to buy it!!
first of all, this DVD comes in a beautiful greyish-blue/grey hardbox which is simply too classic. i would have just bought the box itself to keep if it's available!!!
next, on opening the magnetically flip-open box, u will see a nicely placed photobook "Beautiful Life::Hidden Story" (or whatever u want to call it) as the very first item. the wordings in the photobook are all in hanguls but the shots are breath-taking!!! the boys are shot in smart-casual outfits and they all look amazingly fresh in those sunny backdrops. a photobook not to be missed by any true TVXQ fan.
following the photobook, you will see in the package a 6-piece postcards (5 individuals and 1 group) which are beautifully taken in black/white!!! the individual postcards are actually HUGE profiles of our boys!!! too good to be true right!?? the quality of the postcards are HQ too!!
the final, and most important item you will see is the DVDs, packed in a 3-fold hardboard, each of our princes' faces are on 1 side of the flaps (Joongie as the main and 1st one):
- 1st DVD "Music DVD" is divided into 3 parts - "MV", "SBS Popular Song" and "Karaoke". "MV" as the title suggests, showcases a total of 18 of their amazing MVs including HUG, Rising Sun, Hi Ya Ya, Tonight, My Little Princess (Accapella) etc etc!!! "SBS Popular Song" is basically recordings showing our boys' LIVE performances on TV (total of 17 performances by our lovely boys) and the 2004 and 2005 SBS Popular Award shows where our boys got some awards from SBS. isn't this great for all the fans (especially overseas fans who didn't catch them on TV the previous time). and last but not least - "Karaoke" consists of 12 great TVXQ tracks for all the fans out there to sing-a-long with at home!!!
- 2nd DVD "Story DVD" is simple - personal clips to all the TVXQ fans out there. this DVD consists of 2 parts - "Talk to You" and "Fan Cam". i especially love this 2nd disc becuz it's really a very personal moment for TVXQ and it's a "especially for the fans" kinda thing. "Talk to You" are clips whereby the boys are asked a series of similar questions and they answered in details. each member took up about 15-20 mins "talking" to u. it's really nice n personal!! as for the "Fan Cam", i believe all TVXQ fans alike would be highly anticipating this: a inside view of our Dong Bang quarters (their house that is)!!!! this is really a fabulous DVD and i think all TVXQ fan should have a copy!!!
- 3rd DVD "Special DVD" consists 3 parts - "SM Special Feature", "SBS Special Feature" and "Photo Gallery". "SM Special Feature" consists of 2 Makings of MVs (Tonight and Beautiful Life), 2 jacket photo sketches and a clip showing TVXQ's first stage performances and afterwords for 3 of their hits "HUG", "Tri-angle" and "Rising Sun". "SBS Special Feature" (oh i love this part!!!) showcases some of our boys' (Yunho and Yoochun) banjun dramas (First Love and The Hero in Mask) and also some TV shows (eg X-man) which our boys (Yunho, Yoochun and Junsu) are on. also included in this part is the "Hidden Camera Show" which most of us known it as the "Prank Show" where our leader Yunho gets PRANKED!!! it's a very fun to watch section for this DVD!!! also in this 2nd part are some news clips where they show young(er) Yunho and Junsu sitting for some tests and fans are waiting outside their schools and also one where they showed fans camping outside concert halls for TVXQ concerts the next day. lastly this part also has this clip where they compiled cuts showing TVXQ getting awards for SBS Popular Song (weekly) and SBS Multizen Song!! as for the 3rd and final part "Photo Gallery" - it may be obvious to u tat it's a section where they flash photos of our boys. but the hidden agenda here is that there's voiceover from our boys commenting on each of the photo flashing on your TV screen!!!
and not forgetting to mention: the best part of this DVD boxset is the fact that there's english subtitles for all the interviews!! so no worries for Korean-idiots like myself.
lastly, how can you miss out such a wonderful package if u call yourself a true TVXQ fan!?? it's definitely worth the price Yesasia is offering and a must have for all TVXQ fans out there!!!

(8)Our Price: US$9.99List: US$13.99Save: US$4.00 (29%)Usually ships within 21 daysRelated promotions:December 23, 2006 great OST!!personally i love this OST a lot!! it's the very first OST from our one and only TVXQ!! ^^
well, apart from the fact that VACATION is TVXQ's first official drama, this OST also marked a special meaning to their singing career.
the 2 main tracks in this OST are both very nice. especially VACATION's main track "Holding Back The Tears". it is such a nice song that my feelings are so overwhelmed everytime i listen to it. this song is a slow ballad which also showcasts TVXQ's singing ability. highly recommended to all (even for those who have not watched VACATION yet or non-TVXQ fans)!!
and also the jacket included in this OST is great too!! clear HQ photos of our cute and gorgeous boys!!
costing only USD10.99, the pricing for this OST is really very affordable and worth it. ^^ don't wait anymore!! order your copy from Yesasia now!!

Harvest (ALBUM+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
Harvest (ALBUM+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(1)Our Price: US$38.25Related promotions:December 23, 2006 FANTASTIC ALBUM!!oh my!! what an album from our dearest TOKIO!!!
firstly i must really give credits to our lads from TOKIO for bringing us this fantastic album!! this is the first time TOKIO has put in so much for their album.
for instance, each of them has wrote/co-wrote some songs in the album (Nagase-4, Mabo-3, Taichi-2, Yamaguchi-1, Leader aka Shigeru-2). and also our lads have taken lots of initiative in the post-production of the album as well. it's as good as saying TOKIO produces this album HARVEST. and this album is indeed an HARVEST of their efforts!! after 12 long years TOKIO's talent has gone up another level once again!!! ^^
secondly, the songs in this album are really really nice!! recorded in this album are a mixture of TOKIO's melancholic love songs and TOKIO-style uptempo songs!! my fave song would be "YOUR ANSWER" written by Mabo!!
lastly, for this special edition of HARVEST there's a DVD which showcast our lads during their CD jacket shoot. wonderful bonus not to be missed!! under USD30 for so many goodies, the price at Yesasia is really good and affordable!! (well we all know it's very expensive to get a Japan CD don't we!??)

Tokio Special GIGs 2006 -Get Your Dream- (Japan Version)
Tokio Special GIGs 2006 -Get Your Dream- (Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(1)Our Price: US$56.99Related promotions:December 23, 2006 fantastic buy for TOKIO fans!!well, we all know it's difficult enough to get to a TOKIO gig, and not forgetting to mention expensive. BUT here's ONE DVD which brings us closer to TOKIO in split second!!! ^^
firstly, TOKIO is such a wonderful LIVE band to be missed out for a GIG!! they play their own instruments throughout the show and they surely know how to spice up the heat of the gig!!! u will never ever regret watching their GIG!!! >.<
secondly. TOKIO has been around for 12 years!! mind you, it's TWEVLE years!! how can such an experienced band disappoint you at a GIG!?? ^^
thirdly. the songs they have chosen to perform in the GIG are nothing best their "creme of the crop" songs throughout their 12 years in the industry!! they are all sooooo nice!!! highly recommended to all!! >.<
last but not least, we all (TOKIO fans alike) know that TOKIO is a really really talented band BUT they seldom release their GIG performances!! now they have made it possible for us this year so why shouldn't we be thankful for that!?? i know the price might be a little steep but i really think it's worth it. attending the GIG would have cost you much much more!!! ^^
so, pls grab your copy now!! ^^

November 12, 2006 Overall reviewBasically TVXQ's new album ["O"-Jung.Ban.Hup] is a fantastic album. Nothing to pick on for the CD.
For this particular version D it is supposed to come with some cards if i'm not wrong. I am not sure if the one we buy from YesAsia will include that though.
As for the DVD, my only issue will be the same as many of the fans who don't know Korean: subtitles!?? Without the subtitles we won't be able to understand the interviews. This is especially important because as fans we would really love to watch and understand what TVXQ are talking about. SMentertainment should really look into it. >.<
Overall i would still give this item a 9/10 rating. Nice songs in the album & fantastic repackaging (appearence wise)!! I love the covers and the special items (especially the cards)!! ^^
I will also give a quick overall review of all the versions of TVXQ's 3rd album ["O"-Jung.Ban.Hup]:
- Version A: comes with a 32-page Photobook;
- Version B: comes with a DVD (some specials including making of "O" MV, interviews of TVXQ members & 2 exclusive wallpapers);
- Version C: comes with a DVD (VACATION Theatre drama); and
- Version D: comes with a DVD (interviews & MVs)
Please support TVXQ by buying the originals!! ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
