i found a great website that posts the "cool" japanese slang word every month or so...check it out, kids.
http://web-japan.org/trends/index.html
click on this month's buzzword...they also have several buzzwords archived as well!
Thanks for the info :bow:
I found something interesting. I didn't realize that Ebihara Yuri is so popular even to the Japanese women that they made a buzzword called "Ebi-chan OL" (OL stands for office ladies), because office ladies imitate the looks of Ebihara Yuri.
If only they were hot like her. :beaten:

Rock singer Imawano Kiyoshiro (55) has been hospitalized for treatment of cancer of the larynx. His busy summer schedule of live performances has all been canceled. The news was announced on his official website, which said he was admitted to hospital long-term on Tuesday. The charismatic singer responded to the news in his usual manner saying he hoped to enjoy this new experience and aspect of his life. The former vocalist of 80s band RC Succession first noticed a problem with his throat in late June, when he was in the studio recording a new album. Though his live dates have been canceled, the album is still set to be released in October. Imawano was scheduled to perform at five different outdoor festivals during the summer. He took up cycling as a serious hobby about six years ago, gave up his smoking habit three years later, and even entered in an international race event in Hawaii last year.
• Ryoji (31), vocalist of popular hip hop group Ketsumeishi, and actress Ishikawa Asami (28) got married yesterday. The marriage announcement, sent by fax to the media, came out of the blue but the couple had been going out for about a year and nine months. Ryoji - real name Otsuka Ryoji - divorced his first wife in August of last year just two months after the release of Ketsumeishi's hugely successful album "Ketsunopolis 4", which sold over 2 million copies. According to the fax statement, Ishikawa is currently 3 months pregnant, the newlyweds won't be giving a press conference and have no plans for wedding ceremony. Ishikawa plans to continue working into the autumn and also resume her career after childbirth.

Kabuki actor Nakamura Shido (photo, 33) is suffering considerable backlash from a recent drunk driving incident. NHK has decided not to give him a leading role in its upcoming drama series "Hagetaka". Several companies that use the popular actor in their commercials, including Mandom, Morinaga and UC Card, are also reconsidering their contracts. Nakamura was questioned by police after running a red light and being found over the limit on July 12.
• Former Southern All Stars band member Omori Takashi (49) and his wife Ryoko (52) are currently on trial for possession of amphetamine drugs. Prosecutors have sought a prison sentence of three and a half years for Omori and eighteen months for his wife. Both have admitted to the offence and pleaded for clemency at the Yokohama District Court. Sentencing is expected to be on July 19. Omori said his drug habit went back four or five years, but court documents show his first use was more like 15 years ago. As he was an SAS guitarist as recently as 2001, there is bound to be speculation about the habits of the other remaining band members.
• Meanwhile, SAS vocalist Kuwata Keisuke (50) teamed up with Mr. Children singer Sakurai Kazutoshi (36) for the first time in 11 years. With a rousing, rain and sweat-drenched performance, they closed the "ap bank fes06" festival in Tsumagoi in Shizuoka Prefecture on Saturday. They performed several songs, including their 1995 collaborative mega-hit "Kiseki no Chikyu" (Miraculous Earth). The 3-day event with an environmental theme drew 75,000 fans who came to see a lineup of 19 acts.
• Young actress Morisako Ei (8) is to take on the role of Heidi. Chosen from tens of thousands of hopefuls to play the lead role in the recent live action version of Chibi Maruko-chan, her next challenge will be to be the voice of the world's most famous little Swiss girl. She will play the lead role in the Japanese dub version of the British animation movie "Heidi". The character has been popular in Japan since a TV anime series ran in the 1970s.

Using amphetamines for over 15 years can't be good for the heart. :bleh:
just once could be bad enough to kill you depending on how you take it and how much.
... like so many drugs. =T The guy needs to go in detox and fast.
2 red bull is enough to kill me, so I won't even try this stuff.
2 red bull is enough to kill me, so I won't even try this stuff.
that's cause you aren't used to it.. i've tried Mt Dew in Canada, it's weak like water. :mrgreen:
That must be it. I always end up being awake for 2 days. :nut:
The regular Dew is just water and sugar. They made another one called Mt Dew Energy. It's the same stuff sold everywhere else in the world, but with extensive health warnings about the high caffeine content. :hehe:

The career of comedian Yamamoto Keiichi (photo right, 38) looks to be at an end following a drunken assault on an underage girl. The incident took place earlier this month at a hotel in Hakodate and was reported by the girl to local police. Yamamoto and partner Kato Koji (photo left, 37) make up the duo Gokuraku Tombo (which translates as Dragonfly of Paradise). They are with the major Yoshimoto Kogyo management agency, who immediately announced that they were severing ties with the popular funny man. It was later reported that the duo would be breaking up. A number of scheduled TV shows with scenes including Yamamoto were either cancelled, postponed or edited. Fuji TV found themselves in a bind as their drama "Tokyo Tower" featured him in a prominent role. They decided to reshoot scenes and reschedule the broadcast for the autumn. Kato has also been forced to drop out of several shows that he co-hosted with his former sidekick but is likely to bounce back. Yamamoto was involved in an incident in 2002, when he was charged with indecency after dropping his pants during a performance at Obirin University.
• Kyogen performer Izumi Motoya (32) just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Scandal has plagued him over the last few years, and the latest incident saw his car collide with a scooter ridden by a Tokyo high school boy. The accident happened as Izumi's car turned to enter a family restaurant and hit the scooter. The boy suffered minor bruising.
• Former Morning Musume member Tsuji Nozomi (19) fell from the stage during a recent concert performance in Tokyo and suffered minor injuries. She fell from the 1.8m high stage as the assembled Hello! Project members greeted fans at the end of the show. The group's nationwide tour had just one more show remaining. Tsuji was taken to hospital, and was said to have suffered bruising and a sprained ankle.
• A couple of libel cases were settled recently. The Tokyo District Court ordered publisher Kodansha to pay \4.4 million yen to actress Hirosue Ryoko (26) for a magazine article that portrayed her as a neglectful mother. The article in the Shukan Gendai weekly also suggested that she drinks too much at host bars. Meanwhile the Gorgeous Kano Sisters, no strangers to this kind of case, were awarded a payment of \660,000. They sued actress Okada Miri (44) for \11 million after she suggested on a variety show that they had tried to seduce her new husband. Though she didn't actually use their names, she referred to them as "those famous sisters". Okada is the former wife of "Saiyuki" (Monkey) star Sakai Masaaki (59).
• Happier news for a few celebrities. Fuji TV announcer Uchida Kyoko (30) married Yoshimoto Kogyo employee Kimoto Kimitoshi (33) in Tokyo last week. Da Pump member Ken (26) also got married during the week, as his new 30-year old bride's mother registered their marriage at the local city office. The union puts the seal on a 9-year relationship. Singer/actor Matsudaira Ken is to become a dad for the first time at the age of 52. His second wife Yuriko (38) is expecting a baby in November. Perennially tanned singer Matsuzaki Shigeru has gone even better, announcing that his wife (33) is expecting their third child. Matsuzaki is 56.
