The duo, consisting of musician-producer Ayase and singer-songwriter Ikura (also known as Lilas Ikuta for her solo work), has been making waves in the J-pop and anime music scenes since their debut in 2019. YOASOBI is known for transforming "novels into music," drawing inspiration from short stories, books, and plays. Their unique blend of pop and storytelling is enhanced by their collaborations with various artists.

They've also created hit songs for anime shows like “Kaibutsu” for Beastars and the widely acclaimed “IDOL” for Oshi no Ko.

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience - Ready to Step Into His World?

Hi Huneybees,

Imagine stepping into a painting and feeling what's it like to be in a Post-Impressionistic world, flow in with the expressive brush strokes, smell the vibrant sunflowers, or sit under the stars and admire them as they dance before your eyes. Wouldn't it be amazing?

With cutting-edge technology, this can happen. This March, the highly-anticipated Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is coming to Singapore, where art enthusiasts like you and me are able to immerse in the works of one of the most celebrated artists in history. It has been a hit in other cities around the world, including Madrid, Beijing, and Seoul, and has received rave reviews from art critics and visitors alike and it is the exhibition's first foray into Southeast Asia, debuting at Resorts World Sentosa.

This 360° multi-sensory exhibition will bring Van Gogh's iconic artworks to life, featuring over 300 images of his paintings, drawings, and sketches, projected onto the walls of the 17,000 square feet exhibition space, accompanied by a carefully curated soundtrack. You will be able to walk through the entire space, experience the paintings up close and personal and see the brushstrokes and colors of Van Gogh's works in vivid detail.

One of the core highlights of this exhibition is an expansive central projection area where the digital projections are the most prominent, creating a mesmerizing space where you can sit and absorb the wonders of one of the most well-loved Dutch influential artists at every turn.

The Singapore edition of this exhibition will see the inaugural debut of two unique segments too - featuring a showcase of the traditional Japanese art style of woodblock stamps and prints as well as an authentic matcha tea ceremony.

These segments are curated as a tribute to the Japonisme art movement that had a strong influence on Van Gogh’s style. You will also get to experience and learn more about Japanese woodblocking and also the art of the Japanese tea ceremony and get to enjoy a cup after.

A whole suite of add-on experiences is there to complement your artistic journey.

• Drawing studio Create or recreate an art piece in the drawing studio, scan it, and watch it transform into a larger-than-life digital representation that you can use as a photo backdrop.
• A thematic cafe that offers Janice Wong’s range of pastries and sweet treats
• Yoga Classes
• Art Jamming Sessions
• Exclusive Merchandises

I think Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a not-to-be-missed, especially for art lovers. Tickets are now available for purchase at S$24 onwards for adults and S$15 onwards for children, visit www.vangoghexpo.com/singapore for more information. See you there!

‘Demoncracy’ to reign over Universal Studios Singapore as Halloween Horror Nights 4 descends

Hi Huneybees,

Muahahahahahaha! Halloween is back this October and be prepared to freak out at Universal Studios Singapore as they bring your scariest nightmares to life once again!

With the Minister of Evil taking office for Halloween Horror Nights 4, there will be the most number of event nights, and the most number of haunted houses and scare zones as evil unleashes upon you with Singapore’s first 3-D horror house experience.

As the iconic character for Halloween Horror Nights 4, the demonic Minister of Evil will bring with

him an uprising and new social order. From city centres to schools and army barracks, demons will

be awakened, clowns and fairy tales will turn loony, and urban legends will come alive. Guests will

have nowhere to hide as the Minister of Evil unleashes ‘Demoncracy’ upon the park.

With four haunted houses and four immersive scare zones this year, the Minister of Evil has

something sinister for everyone. The haunted houses will be located across New York zone and Lost

World zone. Coulrophobia strikes as you enter the world of a loony killer clown at Jack’s 3-

Dementia; bullying in school takes a nasty twist when the victim returns to torment any who walk

through the corridors at Jing’s Revenge; soldiers are put through sadistic training at Mati Camp and

to top things off, evil aliens designed to extinguish the human race are born in test tubes at The

L.A.B (Laboratory of Alien Breeding).

A new show will also be debuting at Pantages Hollywood Theater for the period of Halloween. Jack’s

Nightmare Circus will feature aerial acrobats, contortionists and other freaky friends.

Back stories of the haunted houses and details of the scare zones will be unveiled over the next few

weeks on the event website at www.halloweenhorrornights.com.sg. Fans will not only gain exclusive

sneak peeks into the event experience, but also stand to win horrific prizes on our social media

platforms.

Halloween Horror Nights 4 runs for 13 nights over five weekends, from 3 – 5 October, 10 – 11 October, 17 – 18 October, 22 – 25 October, 31 October and 1 November 2014, from 7.30pm to 1.30am each evening. 

*The theme park will close earlier at 6.00pm on event nights. 

*Selected rides and attractions will be open during the event, including TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle and Shrek 4-D Adventure for guests looking to extend their day experience. 

*Early-bird special tickets, priced at S$60 (usual price S$68), will be available from 25 July onwards. *Choose to skip the queues with the premiere R.I.P Tour, escorted by a personal guide. Limited Early-bird R.I.P Tour packages are available at S$158 (usual price S$198), as well. 

*The Frequent Fear Pass will also be making a comeback this year. Frequent Fear Passholders can revisit the event as many times as they like, on 7 of the 13 event nights (3 – 5, 10, 17, 22, 23 October) at a price of S$118. 

*Special pricing is also available for Resorts World Sentosa hotel guests, corporate and bulk purchases, Universal Studios Singapore Annual Passholders and daytime theme park guests. RWS INVITES members enjoy an exclusive ticket price of S$50, as well as a priority admission into the park. 

*Halloween Horror Nights is a separately ticketed event and is not included with regular day admission to the theme park. Daytime guests who desire to “Stay & Scream” at Halloween Horror Nights 4 on the same evening may choose to upgrade their admission tickets at an additional S$50. 

For the convenience of outbound guests, RWS 8 shuttle bus services will be extended to 3.30am on event nights. Night Rider services continue to operate during weekends.

[Updated] AHHHH!!! I Caught Hearthrob From Down Under - Guy Sebastian LIVE!!!

Hi Huneybees,

July kicked off to a great start for me with a LIVE performance by Guy Sebastian. I was super upclose to him and he even smiled at me! He has an amazing vocal and with his cheeky charisma, he melted all our hearts, mine included...

Well, all thanks to MTV, I was at the MTV Sessions: GUY SEBASTIAN recording and this amazing singer-songwriter from down under Australia delivered a one-hour set in his first performance in Singapore at Resorts World Sentosa’s state-of-the-art Waterfront Studio.

He performed hit after hit, showcasing his talent on the keyboard and guitar. I must say, the climax was when he performed the all time favourite "Angels Brought Me Here", which got his fans on high, singing along to it. He also performed his latest single “Like a Drum” from his soon-to-be released album to familiar songs like “Battle Scars,” “Who’s That Girl,” “Get Along,” “Like It Like That,” and “Don’t Worry Be Happy”.

Guy Sebastian and his band 

The evening ended with a surprise encore of  a bonus duet for the audience with his back-up singer Carmen Smith for “Art of Love”. You have got to catch this when MTV Sessions: Guy Sebastian premieres on MTV Asia on Friday, 18 July at 9pm (WIB), 10pm (SG/HK) and 11pm (MAL). Try spotting the green-haired queen bee amongst the audience! =)

Welcome to Olivia Ong's Wonderland ~

Hi Huneybees,

After my giveaway for the past few days, it was time for me to catch the Wonderland Showcase of Olivia Ong. Last night at The Coliseum™, Hard Rock Hotel®, Resorts World Sentosa, Olivia Ong fans and members of the media were treated to a 2 hour treat by this pretty, homegrown songbird.

Olivia looked so adorable in her lacy white frock and brown boots. Paired with her beautiful voice, she was like a siren. She performed her own songs like "Let It Rain", "A Love Theme " and "海枯石爛", and she also performed songs that she personally like. 

She expressed that she like Eason Chen and Faye Wong, and so, she performed their songs - "好久不見" and "我愿意" Olivia also performed songs by Joni Mitchell, The Beatles and Foo Fighter.

Of course, the most anticipated song would have to be “Simple Joys in Life (Wonderland)” the song that was specially created through a collaborative and creative journey with her fans. The song was so whimsical, something that hasn't been heard from Olivia and I love it! There was even an Asian twist to the tune of the song. Wana hear it? Here it is...

Well, you hear it first on Huney'Z World! Do you like the song as much as I do?

Olivia's family and friends were present to support her and amongst the crowd were artistes - Jessica Liu 刘子绚 and Koh Ya Hui 许雅慧. Everyone had a great time, mesmerized by Olivia's songs and everyone asked for an encore!
