Ayumi Sakai is a model and now singing. Her song Yokogao is the theme song to Shiroi Haru, a new drama about a former Yakuza who just got released from jail and meets a kind little girl. So far I think the drama is pretty good and watchable. I found another song “Kanashimi o Itoshisa de” released earlier in the year. She is kind of pretty. Some people like that look. Well duh, she’s a model. Her voice reminds me some old style idol singing sad songs. Not totally sucky or great.. but okay.
Another song sample from Girl Next Door titled Infinity. She dances in this video so its not that bad, but the background dancers kind of creep me out in her videos. Its the opening theme to a Japanese drama called Atashinchi no Danshi with Horikata Maki.
Kusunagi Tsuyoshi (34) is a popular member of the entertainment group SMAP. They’re an older boy band but dominate the industry in Japan with variety shows, lead drama roles, singing, commercials, etc.
Apparently he was drunk and went crazy in Hinokicho Park and stripped naked.
