ASIA RISING

HOW 88 RISING IS CHANGING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

88 Rising is an Asian American record label that helps promote asian artists worldwide. Their famous artists are Rich Brian, Niki Zefanye, Joji, Dumbfounded, Okasian, Keith Ape and many more. As the world is hit by Covid19, artsists have had to cancel their tours and many fans have been upset about it. But not to forget, this is a virtual world. Hence, many labels have come up with online live shows and this is one of the most anticipated one that happened.

Four years back, Train To Busan gained massive fame worldwide which had star cast- Gong Yoo, Choi Woo Shik, Ma Dong Seok, Jung Yu Mi and last but not the least the child actor Kim Soo Ahn. It was premiered in 2016 Cannes Film Festival and was the first Korean film to break the audience record of over 10 million. The budget of the movie was 8.5 million USD and hit the Box Office at 98.5 million USD. Now that was Jackpot!!!!  This year the director Yeon Sang Ho is giving us the sequel with a new cast and we are more than excited after watching the trailer.  A group of four survivors leave the Korean peninsula in ship after escaping the zombie outbreak but two of them are killed by the zombies in the ship.

Four years later, Jung Seok, Chul Min and two more Koreans are given a project by the Hong Kongers. This project requires the four Koreans...

Haruma Miura will never be forgotten!! May his soul Rest In Peace!

Remembering the first time KoiZora hit the North East Indian market in 2009 and how we went crazy over Hiro with his white hair. The white hair trend instantly became a hit in our region with boys carrying the hair colour and hairstyle as well. We cried our eyes out when Hiro died in the movie. He became our favourite, got us into Japanese movies and dramas and thats how we discovered many amazing movies like Crows Zero, Kimi Ni Todoke, Attack on the Titan etc. Being his fan for years, we never thought we'd face a day when he'd actually leave. Fans all over the world are shattered in disbelieve.  Reports have it that he died of suicide and officials have not yet released all the details. He was found hanging in his room and seems to have left behind a note which has not yet been revealed. Team EeZeEe hopes his soul is in peace now and that a deeper investigation is done. We believe in the Japanese Authority.  Further, lets look into his past work and the legacy he left behind....
