An interesting, though somewhat disturbing project featuring short films from 27 indie directors showcases murder, accidents and cultural differences in all its gory glory.

Asian Kung-Fu Generation – Mada Minu Ashita Ni
Posted by Sandstorm in Reviews on March 15th, 2009.Tags: ajikan, akfg, Asian, EP, Generation, JPop, kung-fu, review
Asian Kung-Fu Generation has had quite a productive year in 2008. They recorded and published a very good album in March and later on released an additional mini-album (or EP) in June and a second concept album in November. I got the last two albums in November and listened to them a lot of times, and now, after nearly 5 months I’ve found the time to write the review for one of them: Mada Minu Ashita Ni

Vuze (Azureus), torrents for the masses
Posted by Flo in File sharing, Open Source on December 14th, 2008.Tags: client, File sharing, review, torrent
Over a year ago I stopped using Vuze, then known as Azureus, as my torrent client. This was simply because my computer stopped responding to every input when I was using it.

Hitman Pro Anti-Spyware Combo
Posted by Flo in Freeware on June 14th, 2008.Tags: free, removal, review, software, spyware, trojan, virus
The downside of having a popular OS like Windows is that people make virusses and spyware for it. And because you generally don’t know if you’ve downloaded some spyware on your computer, you’ll need software to detect it, and to remove it. One of the best ways to do this is using “Hijack This”, but it is quite hard to use, so you probably want something more user friendly. The problem of the easier software is that most companies only offer some sort of a demo version for free, so you’ll need different programs to find all spyware. This is exactly what Hitman Pro offers.

World World World by AKFG Album Review
Posted by Sandstorm in Music, Reviews on March 23rd, 2008.Tags: ajikan, Asian, Fu, Generation, Kung, review, world
The Japanese rock scene is a crowded one. Hundreds of bands make so-called Jrock and most of it is enormous crap. Luckily for us, there are some very good bands out there that really make good music. The best band is Asian Kung-Fu Generation and they’ve released their new album World World World.
