Not surprising you never heard of her before...

Cos firstly, she belong to J-anime genre not Jpop...

Thirdly, her main job is Seiyu... I believe you have heard her voice before...

I remember you are watching Blood+, she is CV for Saya the main character... if you watch Fairy Tail, she got a number of characters (Main: Gray, Supporting: Kana (Edolas), Aquarius, Alberona Kana)

Oh didn't know that. Well then the post could be moved to the J-Anime thread I guess 

Yes Blood+ is on my watchlist but I haven't started it yet.   Nope I don't watch Fairy Tail 

Her voice reminds me of Yuttan.

Yup another StardustPro idol groups... after Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, Momorio and Team Syachihoko.... but Takoyaki Rainbow will be mainly active in Kansai region (aka NMB48's region).

Team Syachihoko from SKE region
Takoyaki Rainbow from NMB region
Both Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku and MCZ from Tokyo?

But it's only MCZ who's relevant, isn't it?

How do you like the linked song?

Yup both Ebisu and Momorio are based on Kanto region.

MCZ is really a lucky break since their latest reformation into the current team.

All this groups are under former-AKB48's label DefStar, which I reckon is still bitter about the drop from AKB48.... hence they are doing collab with StardustPro to challenge all AKB48 Group....

Song is unimpressive to me... gomen...

Utada Hikaru’s mother found dead in Shinjuku, suicide suspected



The mother of singer Hikaru Utada died early Thursday morning in Shinjuku Ward in what police are ruling a suicide, reports Nikkan Sports (Aug. 22).

At around 7:00 a.m., the body of Keiko Fuji, whose real name is Junko Utada, was found on the street below the 28-story Atlas Tower apartment building in Nishi Shinjuku. Fuji, who is believed to have leaped from the building, was confirmed dead at a nearby hospital. She was 62.

According to police, the native of Iwate Prefecture shared an apartment in the building with a man. A pair of slippers were found on her unit’s balcony.

Fuji was an accomplished actress and enka singer. Her debut album “Woman in Shinjuku,” which was released in 1970, spent 20 straight weeks at the top of Oricon chart. Her singing career ended in 1979.

Her only child, Hikaru, 30, rose to fame in pop music in the late 1990s after the release of her debut album “First Love,” which spawned the hits “Automatic/Time Will Tell” and “Movin’ on Without You.”

In 2006, Fuji had $400,000 confiscated from her luggage at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York by drug enforcement officials just prior to boarding a plane for Las Vegas. She was not charged.

62? Suicide? $400K + no charges?


One of my favorite actors passed away this week aged 29. Reports say it was suicide but I doubt it.
