CRAZYBOY aka Sandaime J Soul Brothers member ELLY is gearing up for the release of his very first studio album titled “NEOTOKYO FOREVER“

The album will mainly consist his previous digital singles such as “FIRST CLASS XMAS” and “NEOTOKYO” along with tracks that appeared on his four previous digital mini-albums. Many favourites such as “Lights Off” feat EXILE SHOKICHI and “No More Cry” feat. his fellow J Soul Brothers member Ryuji Imaichi made the cut.

As a special thank you to their idol, Namie Amuro‘s legion of fans have begun a special crowd funding product to help honor the star’s legacy.

They have taken their mission to the website A-port, a popular Japanese crowd funding website. Their ultimate goal is to take out full page ads on some of Japan’s most prominent newspapers, with the most important one being The Okinawa Times as Amuro is an Okinawa native.

Actress Haruka Ayase has been chosen as the new campaign model for Coca-Cola Clear. Beginning on June 12th her CM will begin airing nationwide all across Japan.

Known for it’s unbearable humid summers, the CM takes full advantage of that showing a sweaty Ayase trying to cool off. After screaming into a fan she pours herself a nice cold glass of clear Coke.

After an extreme close up of her throat swallowing the liquid, the heat becomes bearable as she happily shouts in excitement.
