Idol You Kikkawa has released a surprise single with gravure talent Paipai Dekami!
“Saikou no Onna” was suddenly announced on social media and made available on various digital music services. Hours later the official MV was uploaded to YouTube.
Things continue to take a dark turn for former Morning Musume member Hitomi Yoshizawa and her drunk driving incident.
New reports have been released stating that during her initial questioning with the police, she lied about the amount of alcohol she had consumed. Originally Yoshizawa told police that she had drank 3 cans of chuhai.
Chuhai is a mixed drink easily found in convenience stores and vending machines, it’s traditionally made with shochu (a type of alcohol), carbonated water, and has a lemon flavor. Nowadays sometimes vodka is used instead of shochu, and a plethora of flavors are available for purchase.
Just because you’re fans of the same group, that doesn’t mean there will be camaraderie between each other, even if your “oshimen” is the same member!
The crime involves popular idol group Momoiro Clover Z, and one of their hardcore wotas Yuya Yamamoto. The 21-year-old befriended a 18-year-old high school student over their mutual love for the girl group.
The legendary Japanese drama “Tokyo Love Story” will be airing on television again later this month.
Based off of the successful manga of the same name by Fumi Saimon, it originally made it’s debut in 1988 in the magazine “Big Comic Spirits”. 4 volumes were released in total, with the last volume being released in 1990.
