This is an archive of some worldwide press reviews, weblog posts and other highlights about Rob Pongi and Asia Entertainment Online Videos from 2005.

Convergence - le magazine de la culture numérique (2005-12-25)

Tokyo DV



Des extraits de Hitchhiking in Japan annoncent un documentaire tourné à la main lors d’un voyage sur le pouce dans le Tohoku, avec toutes les magnifiques rencontres qui se succèdent selon les lifts obtenus. Ça donne envie de partir, sac au dos, demain matin. En ville, entre deux séances de fans de jeunes pop-stars en pâmoison devant leurs idoles chromées, on a droit aux performances de Rob Pongi (allusion au célèbre quartier des bars pour les étrangers de Tokyo), la plupart complètement insignifiantes, sauf lorsqu’il lit une après l’autre les annonces de jeunes Japonaises à la recherche d’amis étrangers, dans un anglais tellement approximatif que ça devient vraiment tordant. Vous vous trouviez poche en anglais ? Attendez d’aller au Japon ! Ou à défaut, allez jeter un coup d’œil aux personal adds de Mr. Pongi. Si ça ne change pas votre fantasme de la jolie et douce Japonaise, ça va peut-être vous enlever de la tête l’image de sa grande spiritualité intérieure... Ou du moins vous faire rigoler un coup !

"Christmas Rob" - by BasJohn (2005-12-24)



"Twas a silent night that Christmas eve, but in came Rob with no plan to leave.
There were gaijins here and gaijins there, all asleep in their gaijin underwear.
Stumbling through the corridor to and fro, he knew where he need go.
The toilet used and his pants unsoiled, Rob had a new task to which he now toiled....."

Drijfzand - Reach for the Sky (2005-12-09) Wat vindt Noord Korea van Bush Ik weet het, ik heb wat tegen George W. Bush. Maar het kan altijd erger. Rob Pongi presenteert Video Happy Hour in Tokyo en is bekend van o.a. dit soort filmpjes. Hij heeft echter ook een propagandafilmpje uit Noord Korea vertaald en op Internet gezet. Nu kunnen jullie zelf zien dat het wel meevalt met mij. - gepost door: ar de nar op 12 09 '2005

Enjoying the happiness (2005-11-29) I've been sifting through the video at archive.org, and rediscovered the Rob Pongi video-clips enjoyment; his site seemed to have been down forever, but it's back now. Hooray! I was surprised to discover how much I've missed the personals readings, the ringtone swaying and Miss Emi. I also like the Mozart clip and this funny little kid, and the "Fucking USA" video still disturbs yet rocks. Especially the ringtone swaying; it's more relaxing to watch than tropical fish. - by Milo George

Ting Ting Plays Mozart - Posted by Vlogger (2005-11-28)



Music video – Ting Ting Plays Mozart


In this instrumental, Ting Ting plays the ancient Chinese “Pi Pa” – a four-stringed Lute, one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments which first appeared in Chinese written texts of the second century BC. Such a performance like this is very rarely seen outside of China.

Filmed and edited by Rob Pongi

GIGANTIC DWARF - Late Night Japanese Television Highlights (2005-10-7)


"Late Night Japanese TV Highlights 1991-1993"

No wonder they wanted to close off entry to Japan from westerners, at one point… maybe they should have kept that rule (U.S. threatened to barrage Tokyo with cannon fire):

"Personals Outtakes"

This must be the guy who collected these clips(and starred in that last one). This one is kind of funny. Heard of Engrish?:

"Conversations With Nature"

In this one you can see what the cherry blossom festival is like in Japan. People hangin’out and drinking, having fun:

"Cherry Blossom Special Takes"

This dog video is kawaii:

"Bobby"

Finally, here's why we love Japanese babes so much:

"Soup 'MAHO'"

And are terrified of North Korean chicks:

"North Korean High School Girls"

Best Websites featuring Travel videos - Internet Video Magazine (2005-10-05 ) "Japanese Geisha Dance II" - shows a very rare and beautiful Japanese Geisha Dance as performed in Niigata, Japan by life-long, professional Japanese Geisha dancers and musicians. Such a performance like this is so rare that its hardly ever seen by anyone, even on Japanese TV.

Dowbrigade News: Video Clip Mystery (2005-07-28)

We first reported the story, we were working off of the web site of one Rob Pongi, a sort of multi-media madman running around Asia and reporting on bizarre stories no one else is covering. He presented the complete "Fu-king USA" video alongside another rough video clip eulogizing Kim Jong Ill. Beloved Leader of North Korea. The crude animation of President Bush morphing into a demonic ape alone is worth the price of admission. - by Michael Feldman continued...

aGentX - rambles: clear your frown lines, laugh now: (2005-05-17) If you are like me and seriously needing a good laugh, you should go to RobPongi.com. Before I discovered singapore-based bloggers, I was very much into RobPongi.com simply because it is one of the most wickedly hillarious but not nonsensical way of humour, which I like! - Among his many self-made videos about life in Japan, my favourite is definitely the one about 'Japanese women looking for foreign friends'...watch it and I bet, you will have many good laughs. - by AGENT X

Dowbrigade News: Harvard Law School (2005-02-17)



Suddenly, video is flying around the net like debris flung from an explosives-rigged homicide ambulance. One of our far-flung sources forwards a pretty authentic-looking propaganda film commemorating the recent birthday of North Korean President Kim Jong-Il, notorious videophile and collector of Mazda RX-7 sports cars. - by Michael Feldman continued...

Lomohut = 写真 ((shashin) photograph) (2005-02-07)

We stopped by a resale shop. I haven’t posted this here, but I decided I wanted to go as Rob Pongi for halloween. The first step in being Rob Pongi is to get the cool jacket. I found one. It cost me 4 bucks. I need to get it himmed a tad in the shoulders, but other than that, it is pimptastic.
