Desktop: Aya Ueto for Kose’s Softymo
Gosh, it seems like we’re always featuring a wallpaper of Aya Ueto here at Karakui.com but who’s complaining? For one thing, it’s free and the second thing (wait, do we really need a second reason after free?) is that this is also a nifty 3 month calendar for your Mac/PC’s desktop. So go and grab…

Desktop: Miyazato siblings for Meiji’s Almond chocolate snack
Wow, I think this is a first to have a desktop of a pro-golfer as a desktop. I’m not complaining since it features the talented (and cute) Ai Miyazato and her brothers (also golfers). The ad is for Meiji’s Almond chocolate snack and you’ll find a CM as well as the wallpaper up on the…

Aya Ueto Mother’s Day special desktop
Chocolate + Mother’s Day go together like a burger and fries. (Don’t mind me, it’s almost dinner time.) This looks like an annual ad campaign for Lotte’s Ghana chocolate featuring several popular actresses (like Masami Nagasawa, Maki Horikita, Nana Eikura and Ei Morisako) and one dude (pro-golfer Ryo Ishikawa). For Karakui.com, although we’re favoring Aya…

Desktop: Aya Ueto gets you to buy softymo
Ah, it’s nice seeing a new wallpaper for my Mac (or your Mac/PC) — especially if it’s with Aya Ueto. So, yeah, it’s for a cosmetic product line called softymo (from KOSÉ), but it’s a calendar too (albeit one that only goes up to June but I digress). Come April we’ll be seeing Aya in…

Desktop: Gori in “Utatama”
Here’s a desktop for your Mac/PC of Gori’s new film, “Utatama,” which opens in theaters nationwide in Japan on April 5, 2008. “Utatama” also stars Kaho as a chorus student who doubts the “coolness” of it after being told that she looks like a salmon when she sings (you’ll have to check out the trailer…

Desktop: The One Pound Gospel (Final)
The drama just wrapped-up and as promised, the official website for “1 Pound no Fukuin” has the last of the show’s wallpapers available for download. As mentioned in our previous post, you may or may not be disappointed by the fact that Meisa Kuroki (or Kazuya Kamenashi from KAT-TUN) is not in any of these…

Desktop: The One Pound Gospel (1 paundo no fukuin)
The Good: free desktop available for download from my favorite J-drama of this season, “The One Pound Gospel.” The Bad: you don’t get the beautiful Meisa Kuroki who plays Sister Angela in the show. But not to fret as there are four more wallpapers coming to the site soon. Of course, we’ll be posting about…

Desktop: Beer and Beni
Or should the title have read Beni and Beer? Well, regardless, this is a match made in heaven when a pop idol like Beni Arashiro becomes the image girl for an alcoholic beverage from one of my favorite beer makers: Orion Breweries based in Nago, Okinawa. There are two different wallpapers to choose from as…
