A fantastic animation : Ponyo on the cliff

I watched this movie yesterday, and I was very very amazed! I strongly recommend you to watch this beautiful flim.
Ponyo is a young fish-girl who has magical power just like her sea-godness mother. She wants to explore the world outside her father's house deep under the sea. One day she decides to escape but gets stuck in an empty jar and found by a young boy whose name is Sosuke by accidently. She falls in love with this boy, and so desperately wants to become human so she can live with the boy.  But if she wants to be human, she has to give up her magic cause she can't have both humanity and magical power.
Ponyo's father who once a human but decided to become a part of fish(?)-we don't know how he could be able to get married to the sea-godness and become pohyo's father- tries to stop his daughter and wishes her to remain pure and innocent forever. Despite of her father's wish, Ponyo wants to become human and now everything is up to Sosuke. He finds a way to make them both happy.

I love this film.  I was fascinated by its beautifully colored scenes like every tree, house and sea creature.. They are amazingly beautiful!! It is difinitely gorgeous and I can say this is one of the best animations I've ever seen. The plot is creative and enjoyable. I look forward to more animes like this :D

Q. Lots of Korean musicians would like to push into the American Market. so, To seccessed there, Do they need to any strategy?

"I think our band's identify is more in tune with us being LA kids than as Asian-Americans"

The band says Korean artists looking to break into the North American market should focus on conquering the local charts first befor thinking about heading to foreign domain.
