Nakama Yukie, Amuro Namie and (I think) Uchiyama Rina (because of the name) are from Okinawa (or at least Okinawan)

You can tell Okinawan guys from Mainland Japan because the guys are hairier and darker.
Hopefully that trait (hairiness) doesn't befall on the women. :hehe:
(Although it does to some. Ewwwwwww. :mrgreen: )

I had heard that, but I thought it was an old (Okinawan? ;) )wive's tale...

Unfortunately, it's not a "wive's tale". It is true that Okinawans are known to be hairy. I have hairy arms and legs. (Not like "Saru" but more than a mainland Japanese would have) Also, in Hawaii, there are many other Okinawans who've immigrated here. So I know that it's not just me.

Wierd coincidence but.......... When I was in high school, there was a guy with the same last name as I had. He was Okinawan and hairy too. Some thought we were cousins (because we were in the same graduating class). And I've seen the hairy Okinawan girls/women! Ewwwwww. Not something you'd like to see! Can see the pores where the hair comes out so much and :blahblah: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. (I'll shut up about this already. I'm getting mental picture.)

Stupid me. I forgot to add Uchida Yuki to the list earlier!
*Duh*

Another hot Okinawan!

Amuro Namie (Okinawa Prefecture, 1977- )
A quarter Italian on her mother's side, Amuro Namie had the kind of exotic look and a reasonably decent voice that made her a potential star. But driving ambition - her first performance was in a supermarket at the age of twelve - and teaming up with the right people also played a big part. Her success started something of a wave of starlets from Okinawa, including the hugely popular girl groups Max and Speed.

Amuro Namie's heyday was in the early 1990s but her nature - she is a determined and ambitious survivor - ensured that she lasted well past her "Sell By" date. A native of the southern island of Okinawa, she joined the Okinawa Actors School in her early teens. At the age of 15, together with four other girls, she was part of a group called Super Monkeys (perhaps because of Amuro's simian features!) with the Toshiba EMI label.

A move to Tokyo helped them build a solid fan base with their Eurobeat sound and stardom seemed to be on the horizon. After some moderate success with their first few singles, it was clear who the real star was. The group was renamed "Namie Amuro with Super Monkeys".

But it was only when Amuro went solo and switched to the Avex Trax label and the remaining four girls formed Max, that all five enjoyed real success. The 5'2" Amuro got a regular gig on the popular children's TV show PonkiKids. The fledgling Avex label went all out to make her a star and soon Amuro had become the biggest pop idol of her time. School girls copied her every move and fashion whim and called themselves "Amurah", and she was at least partly responsible for the whole "ganguro" (cancer black) tanning boom.

A large part of Amuro's success was due to her being under the wing of Avex producer Komuro Tetsuya, a hugely influential figure in 90s J-Pop. With his guidance and influence, Amuro became the biggest music star of the latter half of the decade. Her hits have tended to follow a familiar Komuro pattern in that they use ridiculous or meaningless English in their titles. "Can You Celebrate" and "Chase the Chance" are bad enough but the worst has to be "Body Feels Exit".

In 1997, the three-months pregnant Amuro married Sam (Maruyama Masaharu), a dancer with Avex group TRF in the showbiz wedding of the year. The next spring, their baby son Haruto was born in a hospital run by Sam's father. Amuro took a break from the music business but, still being in her early twenties, motherhood couldn't match the appeal of superstardom. Shortly after resuming her career, she was stunned by the death of her mother. But she bounced back from that shock, too. With similar but not always parallel careers, Amuro and Sam eventually found themselves announcing their divorce in 2002. Rumors abounded of Amuro's disinterest in child-rearing and her overwhelming desire to get back to the top. Others may have usurped that position but Amuro won't be going away any time soon. :applaud:



Yeah baby, yeah!!!!!!! :love_eyes:

It's not like they don't own any razors or have furry backs, dude. Aho, you forgot to mention that another trait is that their eyes are more wider or "more round" than the more mainlanders. Add that to the darker skin, and most mainladers can tell an okinawan from their own, for they have the more "exotic-but-still-JPN" look.

Namie Amuro has been selected as the new image of Mandom Prism Magic Hair Color, a series of eight hair coloring lotions.
namie-chan wrote:"There're so many cute colors I simply don't know which one to choose," the diminutive singer looking stunning in a white shirt and black miniskirt said to a packed Tokyo news conference. "I think that if you make your hair a brighter color, it increases the range of clothes that you look good in."
