On the 24th of September, before the launch party of her first photo book since her graduation ‘Take it the hell off!’, actress Yuko Oshima responded to questions from the press.
With extreme photos such as going bra-less using just her hands to cover her breasts becoming a hot topic, when asked about her level of satisfaction with it she stated with displeasure;
“Arioyshi (Hiroiki, comedian) said that out of 5 points he gives it a 3.8. He said the best shots were where you couldn’t see my face. Wouldn’t that mean it would still be okay if it wasn’t me?”
On the 22nd, commedienne Watanabe Naomi (26) took part in an event commemorating the release of the new product, Lipton Fruit Tea. At the event, she recollected her three months spent studying abroad in New York, which began on May 25.

At a press conference for his latest movie titled “Kinkyori Renai,” Yamashita Tomohisa openly admitted that he compared to his character, he has a boring personality.
It has been decided by Hello! Project Idol group S/mileage‘s first generation members Ayaka Wada and Kanon Fukuda that the group will add new members from Hello! Pro Kenshuusei, Hello! Project’s aspiring trainees, and change their name to fit their new image with their new members.
Announced on H!P’s very own YouTube Program today, it was revealed that this idea was initially proposed by Wada and Fukuda themselves, much to producer Tsunku’s surprise. Their reasoning was that the 2nd generation was worried what would happen to the group if and when the two graduate from the group (which hopefully isn’t any time soon).
Up until now, the group considered current S/mileage as the “first chapter”, and with new members added, they feel like they’re ready to flip the script and begin a new chapter with a new name.
Actor Hayato Ichihara (27) and model Shiho Mukouyama (29) who announced their marriage, individually reported their marriage once again on their blogs.

I want to express my appreciation from the bottom of my heart.” Furthermore, he expressed his apologies in regard to informing the media by fax prior to addressing his fans. “To my fans that have always rooted for me, I truly apologize that you had to learn this information through the media first. I am devoted to grow sincerely through facing each opportunity, and through not forgetting my inexperience.”
