wow i did not know she was a ballerina last time! And here's the article:
http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=feature&id=881

I'm sorry but i read wrongly. This is the extract from the article:
At Oscar, which has more 3,500 members, the emphasis is on girls. "Each year we hold a contest for the Bishojo 31 Club, attracting more than 100,000 applicants aged between 10 and 19," says Ichiro Imai, general manager of Oscar's publicity division. "The lucky 31 get lessons in dancing, acting, modeling, styling, manners and Japanese culture." Ueto and Ryoko Yonekura are two well-known graduates of the Bishojo Club.

:ashamed:

akiko and ryoko!, cool.

went to Kinokuniya in OC, didn't find too much, had some ryoko, think it was some magazines that were equivalent to "people, US magazine", scanned through them, nothing extraordinary on her. Also saw the same Le e magazine on her, other than that, nothing to report. best of luck in your search for her.

not sure if you are going to check Kinokuniya in LA little tokyo, but you might find some more on her there as well. I might go to Sanseido in Mitsuwa in OC on Sunday, not sure what is there on her though.

let me know what you find in Asahiya, on Ryoko or Nana. Not too much on Rina Uchiyama thesedays at kinokuniya's. :bonk:

Sort of a long drive on the chance of finding something there... :sweat:

Unless Rina or Nana were on the cover, I wouldn't know: I don't recognize their kanji names... But I do recognize Ryoko-chan's name. ;)

Oh, I haven't forgotten about your scans... Trying to catch up: had to work today. :bleh: :banghead:

Heh. I know all the kanji names of the artists that matters. :bonk: It's the minor ones I would guess.

yeah, about a 25 minute drive for you to Little Tokyo? yeah, probably not worth it unless you want to visit Little Tokyo and get some good japanese pancake-redbean pastry(sorry don't know the japanese name of it), or some good ramen at Daikukoya(not open on sunday though for some reason).

yeah, i usually just check out the magazine covers, and i usually recognized some j-idols. I don't know their kanji names either, but that's good you recognize your girls name in Japanese.

No prob. on the scans, whenever you get to it. I was checkin' on the scanners today at Fry's Elect. .......close to a $85 an up, ouch!, will probably wait and continue searching for a good affordable scanner.

Yeah, something like 20-30 minutes: the 110 is a suckie freeway... Plus now you gotta worry about being shot at. :sweat: Why do we live in SoCal? :bleh:

Keep an eye out for one of the Canons... They're relatively inexpensive... Try searching the 'net like Amazon: the might offer free shipping. :D

More Georgia. ;)
