Shokotan at memorial event for Pokemon Movie

(Source: Sanspo) Multi-talent Nakagawa Shoko (24) attended the "Big Hit Memorial" for the new Pokemon movie Arceus:To the Conquering of Space-time in Tokyo on 15th August 2009. Just the day before she had performed a song "The Heart's Antenna" at an international film festival and was so nervous that her "soul flew out of her" and she felt like she lost consciousness halfway through the song.

Suzanne, Shokotan and Shizuyo for Kao

(Source: Sanspo) Nankai Candies' Yamazaki Shizuyo, that is (the one in the middle). Just thought I'd try some alliteration ^_^. Anyway, halfie-looking Japanese model Suzanne (21), singer-celebrity Nakagawa Shoko (23) and comedienne Yamazaki Shizuyo (28) attended the official press conference for Kao's Haircare Brand 'Essential Damage Care' 's CM campaign.

When to describe their feelings of shooting the CM in 4 words, Suzanne, famous for playing up the role of an "airhead" or "baka" (in Japanese), replied: "万里の長城って感じ". I don't need to translate that for you to tell that that's more than 4 words right -_-. Haha anyway right after saying that Suzanne goes, "oh that's too many words, isn't it?" Anyway she said it was like the a really long fortress... but the Kanji characters are exactly those used to call the Great Wall of China in chinese. Something along those lines larh.

Anyway CM goes on air next month. Cheers!
