BONNIE PINK makes a short movie

In celebration of singer-songwriter BONNIE PINK’s (37) 15th anniversary in entertainment, she’ll be making a short movie called “Furarera”. She’ll be teaming up with five famous video editors (Takeuchi Tetsuro, Shindo Mitsuo, Mori Ryoichi, Yanai Michiko, and Kakimoto Kensaku) to make her project possible. Each director handles one segment of the short movie, which is divided in five and lasts around 15-20 minutes.

The movie will revolve around a woman played by Sato Eriko (28), and it’s about her character showing her life experiences in five different ages – when she was 19, 23, 28, 30, and 40. It has been said that BONNIE PINK and Sato have always been good friends ever since the day they went drinking together two years ago, so it was natural that they would collaborate eventually if the opportunity presented itself. Other cast members for the movie include Tsurumi Shingo (45) and Bananaman’s Himura Yuki (38).

Of course, the movie will also use BONNIE PINK’s music, and her upcoming single “Kite” (released on 09.22) will be used as the theme song of the movie. “Kite” will also appear on the singer’s upcoming album, “Dear Diary”, which is set to be released on October 6. Other carefully picked song such as “A Perfect Sky” will be inserted in the film as well.

You can watch “Furarera” through a special website for a limited time starting October 6. I’ll make an update here when the website becomes available.Source URL: https://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/search/label/Entertainment

S/mileage’s newest PV preview released!

Super cute girl group S/mileage released a preview of the PV for their 3rd single, “Onagi Jikyuu de Hataraku Tomodachi no Bijin Mama”. The insanely long title has caused international confusion, as translators are puzzled on how to decipher it correctly. The winning translation thus far is, “My friend’s beautiful mother who works for the same hourly wage.”

In any case, the PV stars former Morning Musume member Nozomi Tsuji as the ‘beautiful mother’ who works with the girls in a small restaurant. From the clip, viewers can look forward to a very energetic dance number sequence from the group, and even a hilariously sultry .Tsuji-mama’.

The PV is set to be released simultaneously with all four versions of the single – Regular, Limited A (+DVD), Limited B (+DVD), and Limited C (+DVD) – on September 29th.

Check out the preview after the jump!

K-pop idol groups continue run of success in Japan

It seems like the constant wave of K-pop idols heading to Japan for further promotions will continue for a long while.

On a recent episode of KBS 2TV’s Entertainment Tonight, which aired on the 4th, it was revealed how popular K-pop groups are in Japan, and how they’re quickly rising up the Oricon charts.




At a record shop in Tokyo, they revealed Japanese albums of various K-pop groups such as KARA, 4minute, and SNSD. Posters of the groups were also plastered on just about every wall, further proving their rising popularity.

Many Japanese fans are also happy that SNSD brought their famous song Genie rather then their cutesy Gee, mainly due to the unique choreography and the fact that the former song presents a much sexier side to the group.



KARA brought Mister to Japan due to the vibrant and energetic atmosphere the song presents. The song gets catchy fast, so it seems like a good decision to bring the booty-shaking song overseas first to attract a new wave of fans.

4minute exclaimed that the reason they enjoyed going into the Japanese market with I My Me Mine was because of the amount of Japanese fans they already had prior to their debut.




A critic from Japan also left a few comments, “In 2008, the Japanese music market was much smaller compared to now. Most of the current beats seem to have a Western feel, and maybe a bit too much Lady Gaga. The performances, however, are very eye-catching.”

What do you think? Do you like seeing your favorite idol groups expand into Japan, or would you rather see them continuously promote in Korea?

YongSeo couple gets a surprise visit from Juri Ueno

Earlier this month, we reported that the Japanese actress Juri Ueno was going to pay a visit to the YongSeo couple. On the upcoming episode of MBC’s “We Got Married”, CNBLUE’s Yonghwa was able to meet the girl of his dreams…while he was with his wife. How awkward is that?!

Juri Ueno appeared disguised as an assistant chef at a sushi bar. Both Jung Yonghwa and SNSD’s Seohyun never imagined that Juri Ueno would be in a small local sushi bar, and so although she was boldly approaching them, they didn’t recognize her until much time had passed.

Afterward, the YongSeo couple invited Juri Ueno to the home. However, she continued to surprise them, as she was already familiar with CNBLUE and SNSD, and even knew their names and their songs.

So was Yonghwa able to hold his position as husband in front of his ideal girl? What was Seohyun’s reaction to her husband’s response? I guess we will have to wait to see.

This episode of “We Got Married” will air on September 11th.

DOMINO to sing new theme for ‘Naruto Shippuden’

Pop trio DOMINO has announced on their official site that they will be releasing their next song “U can do it!” as the new Naruto Shippuden ending theme.

The song will be available as a Chaku-Uta cell phone download and also as a Rekochoku computer download beginning on October 7th. As of now, the group has no plans for it receive a physical single release.

Regardless, this news should make fans of DOMINO very happy. The group has been relatively quiet since their early summer release of the single “Kira Kira.” Being able to sing a song for an incredibly popular anime series like ‘Naruto’ should thrust the trio into the spotlight, and hopefully they will get more physical releases.

In the meantime, check out their video for “Kira Kira” below!
