3. WATCH: ARASHI IN CONCERT
The J-pop boy band Arashi, which will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of this year, had their plans for the year disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
They have cancelled a Beijing concert and postponed shows at the newly built Japan National Stadium.
In a bid to provide some entertainment for those staying home, the five-man group have put up two of their concerts - Untitled and Arafes 2012 - on their official YouTube channel for free. They have also uploaded videos of themselves reading children's books, which come with English subtitles.

4. Covid-19 stay-home recipe: Homely chicken dish
Sesame oil chicken is a beloved Chinese family classic which many home cooks would have tried to whip up in their kitchen.
It is a go-to dish for my mother whenever she runs out of ideas on what to cook for dinner.
Some time ago, a chef friend of mine suggested I liven up this homely dish with a touch of mui heong salted fish.
5. Covid-19 stay-home guide: Pho and cockles cooked just right
Vietnamese beef pho is a wonderful dish, but many eateries tend to overcook the meat.
That was my problem with Mrs Pho's version of the rice noodle soup when I ate it at the Beach Road outlet. Everything else was good but the beef was dry.
That was why I ordered the Wagyu Beef Pho ($17.50) instead of the regular Sliced Beef Pho ($10.90) for my home-delivered lunch.
