If you can read kanji it helps too. As Tu said it was a word play thing - Minami-chan was kind of hypnotized by the words and took the new JR line to Kagoshima for some black-haired pig cuisine.

Incidentally Kagoshima is Minami-chan's home prefecture.

Kono josei wa Manami-chan desu ^_^

edit: Since you can read Chinese you have a big leg up on me!

Mistake rectified, thanks for the heads up.

I seem to have a problem distinguishing 'a' and 'i' - 10 years ago my doctor told me to keep fit, but I ended up keeping fat, leading to a short vacation in the local hospital recently... :sweat:

Unfortunately I'm off tongatsu - too much fat from the frying, not to mention the pork cutlet.

Pretty as usual, she looks great with short hair.

Yup.

There's some good pics of her inside as well.


Still waiting for someone to give her a real breakout role, though. :fingerscrossed:

Don't give them any ideas! I'm sure they have producers and directors in Japan just as moronic as the ones here that created all those "Police Academy" pieces of crap. :bleh: [/list:u]

based on the general disappointment expressed by you guys, i'll make a leap of faith and say you're joking ;)

Not me.

If the knuckleheaded powers-that-be think a sequel is merited, the least they could do is improve it, rather than go for the cheap, beat-a-dead-horse mentality of something like Gokusen 2 (everyone's favorite whipping boy, but much deserved)...

Based on the ratings, I don't think we'll see a sequel.

yeah right they have the third season scripted already.

Oricon: "kogao queen"

Tue, September 4, 2007 (1:58am EDT)
For the second year in a row, Oricon has conducted a survey regarding the "kogao" (literally, "small face") beauty trend. A thousand men and women were asked to name celebrities that they associated with the "kogao" image.

On top of the list this year was singer Namie Amuro, an improvement from her #3 ranking last year. In second place was actress Manami Konishi, who ranked first last year. Actress and model Nana Eikura saw a boost in popularity as she rose to #3, while Kyoko Koizumi fell two spots to #4. The rest of the top ten were: Koyuki, Hinano Yoshikawa, Misaki Ito, Ayumi Hamasaki, Alisa Mizuki, and Erika Sawajiri.

Interresting trend? Does that mean that Horikita Maki is per se excluded or is there also a "large face" beauty survey??? :hehe:
