We are looking for writers!!

I am looking for writers to help me post album news, MV releases and lyrics for CPOP and KPOP. It is hard for me doing this all alone which you may have noticed i haven't posted any KPOP related news recently. So i am wanting to bring CKPOP! back again to the way it was but doing this by myself is difficult.

If you are willing to help me please email me @ ckpop.news@gmail.com by writing a simple message saying you want to join with your name and i'll give further details (experience is not required but preferred). :)

Fahrenheit promote Murakami Takashi charity t-shirt


The aftermath of the earthquake that hit Japan touched the whole world, so yesterday, Fahrenheit came together to promote the limited edition Newday t-shirts designed by Japanese designer Murakami Takashi in order to raise funds for the 3/11 relief. Wu Chun said, Murakami Takashi's art is very popular, so a lot of people can participate in the relief efforts. Jiro Wang who studied Fine Arts, said, "Art can help others, so let's go for it!"


Wu Chun completely respects Murakami Takashi, and believes that art isn't necessarily just for the elite, "Sometimes it can be made commercial, it will make even more people appreciate it." Murakami Takashi had already previously collaborated with Louis Vuitton (LV) to make limited edition sakura handbags, which became big sellers. Wu Chun thinks this will attract people to join in the relief efforts, with Murakami's Newday t-shirts having an equivalent amount of supporters.

Last March, Jiro Wang joined Jolin Tsai, Shu Qi, Angela Chang and other Taiwanese artists in a charity sale, drawing the robot Jo on the handbag. So he understands Murakami's actions and hopes that everyone can also join and help raise funds. Arron Yan also had a fan affected by the disaster, making him feel emotional. He said, "You need courage to walk past the pain, I hope the disaster victims don't bottle up their feelings. And I also hope that the survivors don't blame themselves." Calvin Chen also offered his sincere wishes, the Hamasaki Ayumi charity t-shirt sale was criticized to be for her own publicity, making a lot of people hesitate. He hopes that everyone can put aside their prejudices and help how they can.
