It looks like a cover outtake with Miwa in a different pose (perhaps she is showing a little too much in this one for some folks). She looks rather more demure on the cover. Hmm...

The comedian who imitates Masa is named Higo, and is a member of 'Dacho Club', a comedy group (see the POWER PLANT interview post from January 3rd).

Image Girl

The Seibu department store in Yurakucho (adjacent to Ginza) will reopen on September ninth, at which time Miwa will become the "Image Girl" in posters and other advertizements for the store. My wife wonders if Miwa will make an appearance for the opening- even though DCT has a show at Wakayama, it's...

nakoruru, can you tell what Miwa is saying at the end of the 'Diamond 15' version of 'Ola! Vitoria!'? Is it Portugese? Is it Japanese? Both?

My wife and I just watched the video copy we purchased in Tokyo (still no DVD- too bad)- the songs fit the movie so well, it's almost like the movie was made around the songs! I wonder... Also nice brief, but subtle variations on 'Shichigatsu Nanoka, Hare'. Good arrangements by Masa. My wife says th...
