Dancing, singing, playing musical instruments, acting, modelling, writing-- Kobayashi Yui is a person of many talents. But hidden from our sight is the amount of effort she has put into perfecting each of these skills. As she continues to set new goals for herself and strives to become better, she has grown into her role as a pillar of the group. "Saitama Mad Dog" is what fans call her for her sadistic nature on stage, but behind the scenes there is no doubt that she is one of the core members who leads the group onward. Yui is currently an exclusive model for "with" magazine and has had several acting roles. She was given the nickname "Pon Pon" on Keyakitte, a nickname she repeatedly asked everyone to stop using, but of course it backfired…
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
