seriously though...japan itself has such a fetish for youth...which is often manifested in the entertainment community in the images they project and admire.

Entertainment news from Japan-zone.com-Your Guide to Japan and Japanese Culture:

October 17, 2006

Mariah Carey (36) kicked off her fifth Japan tour at the Nippon Budokan last night. She sang a good number of her 17 No.1 hits and delighted fans with bits of Japanese like "Genki desu ka?" and "Aishite imasu!" She ended the show with an early Christmas present for the 9000 fans, performing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" complete with snow and a pair of big Christmas trees. The 1994 song is still her best-selling single here, with over 1.3 million copies sold. Surprisingly, though it's a popular song in the U.S. it was never a hit on the Billboard chart due to rules regarding commercial releases and Christmas singles. The tour continues tomorrow in Nagoya, then Saitama on October 20 & 21 and finishes up in Osaka on October 24 & 25.

• If you're promoting an already over-hyped movie, who better to do it than an over-hyped celebrity. Kano Mika, younger of the ,a href="/modern/kano_shimai.shtml">Gorgeous Kano Sisters was on hand yesterday, python around her neck, at an event to promote the Japan release of "Snakes on a Plane". Set for release here on Saturday as "Suneku Furaito", or Snake Flight, the Samuel L. Jackson movie will need a massive box office to reverse its disappointing run in the U.S., despite huge pre-release hype on the Web.

• Talento Kanda Uno (31) staged a fashion show of her original wedding dress collection at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York yesterday. She modeled some of the dresses herself and also had some help on the catwalk from Kill Bill actress Kuriyama Chiaki (22), who is with the same management agency.

If it is true that they already split up, then I guess that should be good for her career and possibly good for life as well, ne? :mrgreen:

i'm strangely reminded when Madonna was a guest on SMAPxSMAP and she introduced herself as "Madonna-san." She couldn't even get that right yet she has a personal chef who's Japanese.

:lol:

She should have just shut up instead of making a fool of herself. ... or at least say something like: bakayarou desu, yoroshiku. :hehe:

Yup. I can't wait to see her in a good drama again. :)

i would have fallen outta my chair, dood.

that fool woman made 194 million dollars on her last concert tour and she can't even introduce herself correctly.

Most artists don't. They try to learn how to say hello in the local language or, during concerts, they just say "Hello <enter Town's name>! The best place there is!" :shakehead:

true, but you figure you have a personal chef whose japanese you might learn a thing or two...

she probaby showed off her knowledge of japanese cuisine by putting lots of soy sauce on her steamed rice.

Especially if you know you're going to try and speak the language.

Her introduction was just one of a number of things that bugged me about her SXS appearance. Of course, I don't like Esther all that much anyway....

her appearance on SxS was good for a few laughs....but it did make me cringe at times. Shingo does a good impression of her.

She probably doesn't care about the chef or his culture. She just want good food. =T
