which celebrity would you want as your lover?

For many, winter is a special time of year where loved ones come together for holidays like Christmas and the first shrine visit of the new year. Lovers especially grow closer than ever during the holiday season.
Keeping this in mind, Oricon Style asked its readers for the 5th consecutive year on which famous celebrities of the opposite sex they would like to have as their lover. Though the survey was conducted back in October, Oricon published the results in December, just in time for the holidays.

For the males, actor Mukai Osamu came out on top with his “manly” image and debonair demeanor (as seen on variety shows). Mukai jumped from 5th place in 2010 to 1st place in 2011, proving his rising popularity in the entertainment world.
When asked why they chose Mukai Osamu, female voters said they were charmed by the deadly combination of his height (182 centimeters) and his good looks. “His face and smile and voice are all nice! I would be so proud if we could walk together,” said one voter in her 20s, echoing the sentiments of her fellow voters.
Others were reminded of his “reliable boy” image in the NHK taiga drama “Kou ~Himetachi no Sengoku” and the movie “Paradise Kiss“, or were charmed by his cooking skills. “He looks as if he could protect me,” said one woman in her 30s. Another voter in her 20s added, “I want him to make me delicious meals!”
-
Meanwhile, Ayasa Haruka claimed 1st place in the female ranking for the 2nd year in a row with her natural character and gentle air, which proved to be quite popular with male readers.
“She’s so cute! Her smiles are extremely nice,” commented one voter from Tokyo. Ayase was in the top three for the teen, 20s, 30s, and 40s categories, thereby proving her popularity. Many voters also cited her bubbly personality and calming aura. “She has a funny side too, and I feel like if we were together she would calm me down.”

ZONE Announces They'll Continue Band Activities Next Year!!

Girl band ZONE performed at the charity live, “Ganbare!! Tohoku Charity LIVE ~SUPER GIRLS BAND ‘MESSAGE’~” on December 20th, where they announced that they’ll continue as a group next year.

Member MIYU explained, “We visited the disaster-stricken areas a number of times, and realized that it would take more time for recovery. Thus, we decided to continue our activities next year.”

ZONE disbanded on April 1st, 2005 after their final performance at the Nippon Budokan. The members have been pursuing solo activities for a while, but got together again after the Tohoku earthquake. In August, they held their comeback live at Akasaka BLITZ, and announced that they would extend their activities to the year’s end.

MAIKO expressed, ”We want to encourage people through the power of our music. We want to also hold a tour.”

At this charity event, ZONE performed a total of nine songs including their hit number, “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~“. Stereopony and SCANDAL also performed at the event.

a story which I just created. .

when the cherry was blossom, I feel my soul in the gloria. feel so life, with my precious vehicle driving happy life go to the tomorrow's way. and then I met you, in a festive parade. you shake my heart, fallen in the love and truth. I was so happy when you kiss me. too happy like the rolling star. but then, that day came. the goodbye day. I never presume about that. when you left me under the rain. just please stay with me. the one thing that I want. but you never look back. day by day passed. always and always, I remember you. but I never hear you say hello to me anymore. but it's all too much. no more sadness. so, I renascent. leave the past, look the future. and so oh yeah! I know I can. yeah, I do it! then, enjoy the summer song and the cinnamon. however it is like, I thanks to my generation. :)

Sweet Seventeen おめでとう！ \(^o^)/

"So I took of my uniform at the age of 17
I didn't want to be defeated

I didn't look back
From that point on

Because it was me, I could do it

There is no more excuses
If you loose the rising hope of your crowd
You can only loose the way

I don't want to become a hindrance
I want to know if there is a solution

To always be free

My Dreams could not longer be broken
Waiting all these seasons, I began to walk
The time looking down will be restored
To realize my dreams
To strongly believe that my Generation can change
Seventeen My Dream"

Horikita Maki's biography

CHILDHOOD Born Marina Hara (real name) on the sixth of October 1988 in Kiyose, Tokyo, Japan, Horikita is the eldest of three girls. Known to be boyish as a child, Horikita enjoyed playing basketball and baseball as well as mock games of Dragon Ball Z with boys. Despite her boyishness, Horikita looked up to her mother. This was revealed when she appeared in an episode of KAT-TUN's now-defunct variety show, Cartoon KAT-TUN where she mentioned that she liked imitating her mother when she was younger.

EDUCATION In junior high school, Horikita served as the vice-president of her school's student council and the vice-captain of the basketball club. In class, she was dubbed "The Boss of 3-C” in recognition of her status as the class representative. As she became more active in the entertainment industry, she had to put her club and council activities on hold. Being unable to meet her many commitments, she finally withdrew from her school activities, concentrating solely on completing her high school education and developing her career in show business.

YUI talks about her latest album, “HOW CRAZY YOUR LOVE”, with Oricon

Oricon recently conducted an interview with singer-songwriter YUI for her latest album, “HOW CRAZY YOUR LOVE“, which was released on November 2nd.

Check out the full interview below!

Interviewer: First of all, give us your thoughts on the album title.

YUI: It holds the meaning of ‘how much is your affection’. I used the word ‘LOVE’ in the title, but I wanted it to mean a big ‘emotion’. Like support or a guideline for life… In a broad sense, I think it turned out to be an album that asks, ‘What are your emotions?‘ By using ‘LOVE’, I felt that it was the best way to deliver these feelings in simplest form.

Interviewer: What kinds of emotions were stirred when you wrote these songs?

YUI: When I made my debut, there was a time when I only sang for myself. Now, I have the opportunity to meet many people, and by remembering those peoples’ faces, all kinds of feelings surface. I write songs while thinking, ‘I want them to smile’ or ‘I want them to do their best tomorrow’.

Interviewer: Various emotions are expressed in your songs; it’s hard to believe that one woman wrote them.

YUI: Thank you. As one being, I have these feelings and emotions… What I hate, I hate; and what I like, I like. I want to be able to express them properly. I wanted to bring out that breadth and waves of emotion. I usually write what I feel directly. I’m happy when people tell me they can relate to those things. That is why I want to have a communication where I can ask the listeners, “How do you feel?” So I chose to put “Green a.live” at the end of the album, since it’s a song that contains many questions. Although I sing calmly in the song, the wave of emotion is so big.

Interviewer: It’s a song that was written after you visited the disaster-stricken areas right?

YUI: Yes. There are a lot of question marks, but it’s a song with many factors. It was hard to put them into words because I wanted to make it carefully. Also, when I finished the song, I was able to think, “This is me right now”. There are a lot of emotions within me that I haven’t unraveled yet. So I realized that I have to face it, instead of putting an end to it.

Interviewer: Other than “Green a.live”, how did you figure out the order of songs?

YUI: With every work, I make the order of songs with variation… rock songs then acoustic songs; like that, I make efforts to create ups and downs so people won’t get tired of it. When I make a rock song, it’s strange, but I want to make an acoustic song afterwards. This album has many new attempts, but I worked hard to make it balanced. Tthe song I wrote while wanting to change the scene is “Good Night”. At first, it was a song you could hum to but as I was making it, I became greedy. In the end, I recorded it properly and added a chorus to it.

Interviewer: To be specific, what are ‘new attempts’?

YUI: For example, “Separation” has a funky rhythm, something I’ve never tried before. I made it while imagining bits and pieces of rhythm quickly being added into the song… Although I was told, “That’s not a funk rhythm“, I feel I was able to bring out a groovy effect. Then, I thought it would be fun to add painful lyrics, and started writing. I wrote “Lock On” as the theme song for “Kaito Royale”, so I made the song with the theme of ‘thrill’. Since the drama is set in a world of treasure stealing, I wanted it to have a kind yet fun outlook on the world. To make it even more thrilling, I changed the key during the middle, but it was difficult. When I first received the offer to write the theme song, there was no script, so I read the draft. I knew a little about it through games and CMs, which helped me to create an image of the drama.

Interviewer: The music video is also thrilling.

YUI: It was a fun experience to run around here and there. I was exposed to many new things, such as dressing up as a casino dealer. It’s fun to take a look into a world you don’t know. I had a real dealer teach me the behavior, and was told that I couldn’t even smile. I thought it would be impossible for me.

Interviewer: You challenged yourself to simple triple (three beats in each measure) in “Cooking”.

YUI: Ever since my debut, I always wanted to make a song with simple triple. But back then, I couldn’t operate a computer that well, and I wasn’t able to step record… Now, I’ve become accustomed to a computer so I typed in the drums myself, then created the melody. It was by feel, but I had fun. The song had a warm feel to it, so I think the kind lyrics accompanies the song’s outlook. I felt that every girl has the feeling of wanting to make food for the person they love, so I sang the song while imagining I was near that person.

Interviewer: YUI-san’s tone of voice is gentle, so I felt that atmosphere.

YUI: Thank you.  I’m usually gentle… I’m lying. “Get Back Home” sounds like I mixed more sighs than usual. It could be a song to myself saying, “You had a bad day, but let’s be thankful to the people around you“.

Interviewer: What kind of message do you want to deliver through this album?

YUI: I challenged myself to all kinds of new things in the album, so it would be nice if people who listen to it are able to think, “Let’s try something new”. I want it to become a strength for people to move forward. I continue to make music exactly like the days when I first moved to Tokyo. The excitement when I listen to music has never changed. As the sender, that is what I want to deliver. Tell them, “I’m doing it so freely!” Freedom could be something you can do at ease at a limited extent. It’s different from being able to do as I please, but I want to become a person who can tell people that I’m doing it freely. Although to be honest, I actually like doing as I please.

Interviewer: Your nationwide tour will start soon.

YUI: The album jacket was shot on Hikawa Maru (ocean liner) in Yokohama, but it was also taken in the image of the tour. I want to create a place where people can relax and enjoy.

Interviewer: In June, you held your first overseas live in Hong Kong, and in September, you held a street live in Shanghai. Have your thoughts on the live concerts upgraded?

YUI: The minute I stepped on stage in Hong Kong, my heart was about to break by seeing the amount of people. However, during the street live, I felt alive. Lives aren’t about ‘you against the audience’, but , ‘you and I’. So I was able to sing while thinking, “I am singing to you alone.“ I hope to sing again somewhere else. For this upcoming tour, I’m going to places I haven’t gone before, so I’m looking forward to the beautiful scenery and the delicious food. Also, meeting new people.

SM☆SH transforms into pastry chefs, hands sweets to 2,200 fans!

At the “SM☆SH Café”, the five members transformed into pâtissiers and hand-delivered sweets to 2,200 of their fans. World commented, “We were able to welcome our first year, thanks to all of you.” Han Bang also expressed his thanks, “Please give us 2 years, 3 years, 5, years, and 10 years!”.

J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter saga's Author

Joanne "Jo" Rowling, OBE (born 31 July 1965), better known as J. K. Rowling, is a British author best known as the creator of the Harry Potter fantasy series, the idea for which was conceived on a train trip from Manchester to London in 1990. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, sold more than 400 million copies and been the basis for a popular series of films, in which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts as well as maintaining creative control by serving as a producer on the final installment. 

Rowling is perhaps equally famous for her "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on welfare to multi-millionaire status within five years. As of March 2011, when its latest world billionaires list was published, Forbes estimated Rowling's net worth to be US$1 billion. The 2008 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £560 million ($798 million), ranking her as the twelfth richest woman in the United Kingdom. Forbes ranked Rowling as the forty-eighth most powerful celebrity of 2007, and Time magazine named her as a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fans. In October 2010, J. K. Rowling was named 'Most Influential Woman in Britain' by leading magazine editors. She has become a notable philanthropist, supporting such charities as Comic Relief, One Parent Families, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, and Lumos (formerly the Children's High Level Group)

Horikita Maki to become NHK's next morning heroine

Today it was decided that actress Horikita Maki will star in NHK’s next morning drama that will begin airing in the spring of 2012.

Similar to the currently airing morning drama “Ohisama“, starring Inoue Mao, NHK decided to make the offer to a popular actress again instead of going through the standard practice of holding an audition. This announcement has already gained quite a bit of attention, even though the details about the story have yet to be revealed.

Thus far, Horikita has never starred in a NHK drama before, even so she managed to build up a nice track record of starring roles on commercial stations and in movies.

NHK stated, “We decided not to hold any auditions and are currently advancing into the process of casting the additional cast members.”

An insider revealed, “With the success of last year’s ‘Gegege no Nyobo‘ and this year’s ‘Ohisama’, it is most likely that Horikita’s morning drama will be set sometime in the past as well.”

HORIKITA MAKI travels to Jakarta to volunteer for “24 Hour Televsion”

Actress Horikita Maki recently visited Jakarta, Indonesia to film a report for NTV’s upcoming television special, “24 Hour Television 34 ~Ai wa Chikyu wo Sukuu~“.

Last month, Horikita was announced as one of the charity personalities for the program, and she joined other Japanese volunteers in the area.

One of their projects included a “mobile library”, in which they visited children in various locations and let them enjoy Japanese picture books that have been specially translated into Indonesian.

Being the bookworm that she is, Horikita enjoyed helping the mobile library a lot and even tried to read the books aloud in Indonesian for the children on her final day. She also helped out during a puppet show, played some basketball with the children, and taught them origami as well.

Horikita commented, “I was able to see the reality of those children with my own eyes and, in my own way, found something that I, as an adult, could do for those children. It was very touching to see their smiles. I want everyone to see the people from our country who organized this ‘mobile library’, and the innocence of those children when they are gazing at the picture books.”

This special report for “24 Hour Television 34″ will air on NTV on August 20th and 21st.

The Compassion Goddess, HORIKITA MAKI in Jakarta, Indonesia for Charity Program

[JAKARTA/3 Agustus 2011]
Artis (Jepang) Horikita Maki (堀北真希) awal bulan Agustus kemarin, datang berkunjung ke Indonesia tepatnya di Jakarta untuk melakukan tugas mulia membagikan buku cerita bergambar pada anak-anak kurang mampu yang tinggal di bawah kolong jembatan dan panti asuhan. Maki panggilan akrabnya datang ke Indonesia sebagai duta sebuah acara televisi “Love Saves the Earth 24 TV 34″ atau lebih dikenal dengan 24 Hour Terebi Special (Acara non drama) yang para talent tersebut membantu sodara kita yang kekurangan dalam fisik maupun materi. Program televisi ini akan ditayangkan di Jepang pada tanggal 20-21 Agustus di Nihon TV.

Kesan Maki yang baru datang ke Jakarta untuk pertama kalinya : ada banyak bangunan pencakar langit tetapi di sisi lain, ada banyak anak-anak yang tidak bisa pergi ke sekolah, hidup sebagai pengemis, dan tinggal di daerah kumuh, Maki datang ke Jakarta demi anak-anak. Jakarta adalah kota yang memiliki masalah serius tentang perbedaan luas antara orang kaya dan miskin.

Selama di Jakarta Maki ikut serta dalam program Perpus Keliling bersama Dinas Pendidikan Jakarta.Ini kunjungan pertama Maki ke Jakarta untuk bakti sosial, disana Maki mengunjungi Panti Rehabilitasi anak jalanan. Dengan sapaan “Suramasshian” khas Jepangnya dia berusaha mengakrabkan diri dengan anak-anak yang berada di panti rehabilitasi. Dan banyak kegiatan  disana hingga Maki mengajari membuat origami dan mendongeng Puppet Show dengan beberapa Volunteer dari Indonesia.

Maki memberikan ucapan dalam bahasa Indonesia seperti : Selamat Siang! dan Nama Saya Maki Horikita. Maki terus mengatakan panggil ia Maki, dan secara bertahap anak-anak menjadi lebih dekat dengan Maki.

Pada hari terakhir di Indonesia, Horikita Maki tertantang untuk membaca buku bergambar (dalam bahasa Indonesia) karena anak-anak memintanya untuk membacakannya, meskipun ini tidak termasuk dalam rencana program. Setelah melihat situasi nyata anak Indonesia, Maki merasa termotivasi dan berkata "saya menemukan sesuatu yang bisa saya lakukan untuk anak-anak sebagai orang dewasa".

Show “24 Hour Terebi” tahun ini dimeriahkan artis artis Populer sepert Horkita Maki, Shinichi Hatori, Kanjani8, dan pelari Tokumitsu Kazuo mengikuti acara ini. Dengan tema “The Power [Chikara]” mereka semua menghadapi tantangan yang menyentuh di tahun ini.

ZONE Adds Charity Concert to Their Reunion Month

Japanese pop-rock band ZONE announced last May that they would be reuniting in August for one month only. Only three of the four members will be returning, however, as drummer MIZUHO retired from the entertainment industry.

MIYU, MAIKO, and TOMOKA will be performing two concerts on August 14th and 15th, and they’ve just added a charity concert in Chichibu, Saitama for the 27th.

The group decided to reunite in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their hit song, “secret base ~kimi ga kureta mono~“. The song’s lyrics include the line, “10 years from now, I believe we can meet again in August.” True to their word, the group will indeed be “meeting again” in August.

The song was also covered as the ending theme song for the anime, “Ano hi mita Hana no namae wo Bokutachi wa mada shirana” (a.k.a. “Ano Hana“). The anime is based off the city, Chichibu, and so the city’s Chamber of Commerce specifically asked ZONE to perform at the charity concert.

The girls will join other artists on an outdoor stage at Muse Park. Ticket sales will begin on August 6th and range from ¥3,000 to ¥5,000. All proceeds will be donated to help those who were affected by the tsunami in Rikuzen-Takata, Iwata.

ZONE’s MAIKO to collaborate with Nakagawa Shoko for upcoming tribute album

Previously, we reported that Nakagawa Shoko would be participating in ZONE’s tribute album, “ZONE Tribute ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~“, with the song, “Shiroi Hana“. It’s been revealed that ZONE member MAIKO will be joining Nakagawa for the song’s chorus.

To briefly summarize their ZONE’s career, MIYU, MAIKO, TOMOKA, and MIZUHO made their debut as ZONE in February 2001 with the single, “GOOD DAYS“. Their third single, “secret base~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~” was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama, “Kids War 3~Zakennayo“, and became a long-seller, selling about 740,000 copies. ZONE disbanded during the peak of their career on April 1st, 2005 at Nippon Budokan.

The girls will be holding a comeback live at Akasaka BLITZ on August 14th and 15th without MIZUHO, who has left the entertainment business. They will also be performing at “Mezamashi Live 2011” on August 17th, and will release their book titled, “Saikai~ZONE CHRONICLES~“, on August 22nd.

About "Stephenie Meyer"

Pada suatu malam di bulan Juni 2003, seorang ibu rumah tangga biasa bernama Stephenie Meyer bermimpi. Di mimpinya seorang gadis bercakap-cakap dengan seorang pemuda berkilauan di padang rumput penuh sinar matahari. Pemuda itu bukan manusia biasa. Ia seorang vampir. Mereka saling jatuh cinta dan si pemuda memberitahu gadis itu, betapa sulit baginya untuk tidak membunuh si gadis.
Stephenie belum pernah menulis sebelumnya, namun mimpinya itu sangat kuat hingga ia memutuskan untuk menuliskannya. Dan tulisannya itu kelak dikenal sebagai TWILIGHT, yang disusul dengan NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, dan BREAKING DAWN. Tiga judul pertama sampai kini telah terjual lebih dari 5,3 juta copy di Amerika saja.

Selain serial TWILIGHT, Stephenie juga menulis novel dewasa THE HOST, yang sudah tersedia di hampir seluruh toko buku di Indonesia.
