A Complete Japanese Entertainment Experience Awaits You At Japan Park Singapore (JPSG)

Hi Huneybees,

The doors at Suntec Singapore Exhibition & Convention Centre's Halls 403 and 404 open today at 10am this morning, for a TWO days of promised complete Japanese entertainment experience, targeting people of all demography, young and old alike.

This inaugural Japan Park Singapore (JPSG) is an evolution from the highly successful CharaExpo that started in 2015.

Branching out from the already well-received Anime and Japanese TCG, JPSG is bringing other lesser known but popular entertainment from the land of the raising sun to Singapore under one roof.

Get your lucky Takasaki Doruma at The Doruma Exchange Counter using AR technology!

Learn more about travelling within Japan using JR (japan Railway).

Find out the interesting places to visit in each 47 prefectures of Japan!

An example is the Japanese quirky music and entertaining variety shows that have brought many smiles to viewers across the world. There will also be a dedicated sport corner for kids to experience some of the sports that Japanese kids enjoy playing.

Be amazed by the vocal of the 20 year old Okinawa native singer - Kiwako Ashimine - who writes her own songs!

Witness the beauty of traditional Japanese dance by Nishikawa Family of Dancers.

Highlights of the two days' event will be showcased on the Omakase Stage, where a variety of Japanese art demonstrations, talks and performances, from the catchy idol music to the graceful traditional strumming of the Shimasen, will be scheduled on 4th and 5th August 2018.
Huneybees can also rock out with famous personalities, such as Poppin’ Party  from BanG! Dream, and Kuni-Ken,  as they perform ear-pleasing music from across the 47 prefectures of Japan to Singapore. 
Our very own Olympian - Joseph Schooling - will have the privilege to be the first non-Japanese invited guest to be featured (at noon on Saturday!!) at JPSG for a talk show.

To keep pace with the Omakase Stage timetable, which starts from 10am to 8pm daily, Huneybees need not get out of the exhibition halls between schedule, to replenish themselves as there are inexpensive but good food and drinks available at the WA-Shiok Gourmet Festa area that I really like!

Complementary Ramen by Keisuke - Queen on 4th Aug and King on 5th Aug - for the first 500 redemption!

Apart from the complementary ramen by Keisuke that Huneybees are reminded to redeem (limited to 500 bowls a day) on each day of attendance, you can also pay "cashlessly" at many stores/booths by simply spending the accompanied credit and/or topping up for more on the wristband wallet that is issued to every visitors to JPSG.

Here are a list of my recommended food that I have had tried during the media preview and would recommend to my fellow Huneybees:

Roast Beef Don at $13 @ F10 Ginza Lion 

Premium Tonkotsu Ramen $12@ F12 Menya Sakura

Pork Sausage at $2 each @ F07 Teppei Syokudo

Have a complete Japanese entertainment experience at JPSG!

There Are More Reasons To Catch History Channel At StarHub TV Ch 401!

Hi Huneybees,

Coincidentally, while our local talent Joseph Schooling was having his meet-and-greet session at the atrium of Raffles City Shopping Mall, the final stop of his three-stop victory parade for winning Singapore's historical first Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016, HISTORY® (Starhub TV Ch 401) rolled out red carpet next door @ Raffles Convention Centre to welcome its on-air talents to promote their upcoming new and returning original A+E Networks® productions!

Among the celebrities appearing at the HISTORY® media event were Bobby Tonelli, host for Celebrity Car Wars, Professional photographer-to-beat cum Judge Justin Mott of Photo Face-Off, and the leading contributor amd Co-Executive producers of the highly-rated popular extraterrestrials series ANCIENT ALIENS' Giorgio A. Tsoukalos.

Presented by Catlex in association with Garmin Corporation, Celebrity Car Wars' host Bobby Tonelli shared his joy of able to test drive many premium cars from the likes of Audi to Porsche to Ferrari to Aston Martin and pushing them to their limits as part of a car review section in the brand new reality automotive competition show.  

The challenge for him however was to control and manage the ego wars among the 6 celebrity contestants who are all also accomplished hosts in their own respective countries. An example of that Bobby disclosed was the "30 minutes of fame that each celebs wanted for their 15 minutes share of air time", where each celeb fighting among themselves to keep asking questions after given the instruction to a challenge, which made Bobby felt like a school teacher.
Celebrity Car Wars premieres on Monday 29th August at 10pm (SIN/HK), 9pm (BKK/JKT).

Photo Face-Off, Asia's Number One photo-competition show returns in Season 3 with 13 new bunch of eager amateur contestants from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. Adopting a fresh format for this season, the contestants will compete in their home country in two photo challenges - Speed and Theme - and the eventual winner of that episode will have a chance to complete against the Professional photographer cum Judge Justin Mott for bragging rights! All winners of each episode will move on to the final round in Vietnam.

 
During the interview on stage, Justin Mott praised the talent level of Asian amateur photography scene has gone up since but kidded that he has everything to lose for not winning any of the Face-Off Challenges in each episode as his clients would ask him to lower his professional fee if they found out. Because of the synergy between the show and the Canon Photomarathon, Justin shared that he enjoys meeting all photo enthusiasts of all different levels at every Canon Photomarathon event and talking to them about photography and also the show.

Together with Justin on the stage were also the three contestants from Singapore - Chelsea, Tristan and Aron - who each shared about their individual experience for participating in the show.
Presented by Canon in association with SilkAir, Photo Face-Off Season 3 premieres on Thursday 8th September at 9pm (SIN/HK), 8pm (BKK/JKT).

Making his first ever public appearance in Asia, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos from the hit series, Ancient Aliens, which explore ancient astronaut theorists, revealed that he started publishing a magazine on the subject in 1998 and was always interested to convince people with the best evident he could find but only to be rejected and that upset him. Today, he sleeps well against the Skepticism as he would point everyone to watch Ancient Aliens where all the compelling evident have been presented.

Giorgio found himself very fortunate as what started as a one-off 2 hours documentary called Chariots, Gods and Beyond was sold to HISTORY® not long after and like they say the rest is history.
Season 9 of Ancient Aliens is currently showing on HISTORY®, since 27th July, every Wednesday at 10pm (SIN/HK), 9pm (BKK/JKT).

With these awesome shows happening on HISTORY®, there is no another reason why you should not subscribe to StarHub TV Ch 401 today!
