Ayame Koike leads new idol group
The unit's leader is actress Ayame Koike (14), who has appeared in the movies "Sakuran" and "Always: Zoku Sanchome no Yuhi." The other three members are actress Chisa Okada (12), model Yuka Matsuda (13), and actress Rei Kawashima (13).
Their first CD single is planned for release by the end of this year. Office JR is currently accepting suggestions for the group's name.
AKB48 shuffles its teams
The three captains will be Minami Takahashi (Team A), Sayaka Akimoto (Team K), and Yuki Kashiwagi (Team B). Teams A and K will have a total of 17 members each, while Team B will have 16.
Kayo Noro, Megumi Ohori, Yukari Sato, and Kazumi Urano have been removed from the AKB48 lineup, though they will continue their activities with SDN48. Noro has been appointed as the SDN48 captain.
AKB48's new team lineups will officially take effect in October. The group also repeated the announcement that they have scheduled some overseas concerts. They will reportedly appear at the New York Anime Festival next month, and have scheduled a mini-concert on September 26 and a solo concert at Webster Hall on September 27. However, New York Anime Festival has not yet officially announced their appearance. Then on October 5, they will perform at an opening event for the media convention MIPCOM in Cannes, France.
Noriko Sakai suspected of destroying evidence
A sample of Sakai's hair was recently sent for drug analysis. Police confirmed that it tested positive, though the results were still weak. But it was also revealed that before her arrest, Sakai had her hair cut, reducing the ability of the analysis to accurately determine her drug history. In addition, Sakai dyed her hair, which could have weakened the results by making the drugs more difficult to detect. Sakai has stated that she only began using the drugs last summer, but her husband Yuichi Takaso has said that they started about four years ago.
Police are also still looking for her missing cell phone, which Sakai claims she threw away because it was damaged and unusable. It is believed that the data on her phone, if recovered, will help identify the sources of the drugs.
Meanwhile, Takaso's latest testimony says that the last time he and Sakai used the drugs together was ten days before his arrest on August 3. They and their son had taken a trip to Amami Oshima in the Kagoshima prefecture between July 20 and 30 to observe the solar eclipse. According to Takaso, he had taken some drugs and straws along during the trip.
Takaso has already been formally indicted for drug possession, and is now facing a second charge after the discovery of additional drugs (97 milligrams) at a house in Chiba that belonged to him. It is still not clear whether Sakai will be indicted for the 8 milligrams found in her home, but police may be able to charge her with joint possession of the drugs found at the Chiba house.

G-Dragon is all for W
It’s hard to tell, but there’s a face in there. G-Dragon poses it up in Septembr issue of W Korea.
G-Dragon is known for his wild fashion. With this “accidentally caught in a badminton net” look and powder white complexion, G-Dragon further proves his eclectic style. I could continually point out the questionable sanity of his style, but it has pretty much become an expectation that GD will pull off some unconventional fashion. It would actually be quite a shocker if he dressed casually and normally in official photo shoots for once.
Boom loses big
The entertainer loses a lawsuit and is forced to pay up.
Popular MC Boom recently lost in a lawsuit brought up by his former agency, The Show Entertainment. As a result, he now has to fork up a sum of 468 million won (about $375,000) in losses to the company.
Boom originally signed a five-year contract with the company back in 2005. Sometime last year, however, he terminated his contract, citing that the contract had some pretty unfair terms, including unfair distribution of profits from his album sales. A few months later, in December, The Show Entertainment filed a lawsuit against Boom for unilateral termination of contract on his part.
Unfortunately for Boom, the court didn’t have enough evidence to confirm this claims and as a result, couldn’t acknowledge his reasons for terminating his contract. He was then ordered to pay the company for their losses.
What’s up with all these celebrities signing unfair contracts? I know the lures fame and fortune can be enticing, but do yourselves a favor and read the fine print!
Han Hyo-joo, is that you?
Believe what you see because she is the real deal.
Han Hyo-joo brings it when she is in front of the camera, transforming from her usual sweet and innocent look to sleek and modern.
You can see Han Hyo-joo bring sexy to the table in the September issue of Vogue Korea.
TVXQ is Thailand’s Most Popular Asian Artist again
Despite the ongoing dispute with SM Entertainment, TVXQ's popularity shows no signs of waning. In the Channel V Music Video Awards 2009 held in Bangkok, Thailand on the 22nd, DBSK won the Most Popular Asian Artist 2009 award.
The winner of the award was voted by netizens in an online poll which saw DBSK accumulating 48% of votes, romping to victory over Big Bang, SHINee, Super Junior and the Wonder Girls with relative ease.

This was TXVQ's 2nd time winning the award after 2006, showing their immense popularity in the land of thousand smiles. Although the awards ceremony was not held in 2007 and 2008, TXVQ are still considered consecutive winners as the Most Popular Asian Artist.
TXVQ did not attend the awards ceremony that day unlike in 2006, and the award was picked up by a local representative from GMM International.

[Final Teaser Photoshoot HD 090825]Jewelry (쥬얼리) - Album Vol.6 'Sophisticated'
Yunho’s fans send ‘Heading to the Ground’ team a gift
Yunho U-Know's fans have outdone themselves by trying to prove that they are mature fans. At the site of the shoot for "Heading to the Ground (Without Preparation)", they apparently try their best to not get in the way of the staff and even taking photos is restricted so that people might not be distracted. The fans are at the site without fail to cheer Yunho on and always bring snacks and food for everyone to eat during breaks and through nighttime shoots.
During long nighttime shoots, they prepare food that will help them recover from fatigue and drinks with lots of vitamins for the entire staff. In fact, they even prepared 120 servings of samgaetang (a Korean dish that is known to be very healthy) for the tired staff. The producers mentioned "This is something we haven't experienced before so we were a bit unsure of what was going on, but now we feel very thankful toward the fans."
It seems like despite the hardships TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is going through, Yunho's fans haven't stopped supporting him. And I'll be frank, the fact that they didn't try to knock down the staff and ambush the poor guy did give me a shock.
Super Junior on Vacation
Well, some of them anyway.
It seems 10 out of the 13 members of Super Junior went on vacation together recently. Kim Heechul posted "Pictures of me and the members on our trip to Kangwon" and uploaded several pictures including Eun Hyuk, Ki Bum, Kangin, Lee Teuk, and six others, not including himself.
The most noteworthy thing about the pictures were that they dressed very comfortably in t-shirts, slippers and seemed just like any other ordinary guy. Heechul mentioned "When we stopped at rest stops and talked, I heard people saying 'No way, is that Super Junior?' and was very amused. We had a great time playing games and having barbeques."
Kim Heechul also didn't fail to thank the fans for sending them the meat. Seems like fans are on a roll with the gift giving these days.

The secrets behind 2NE1’s success
An SBS Special documentary on 2NE1 is set to air on September 6th, 2009. The documentary will try to uncover the secrets of what goes into making a hit song.
An SBS official stated:
"We've completed filming and the production is now in editing. We're trying to discover what, if any patterns exist in hit songs, therefore the documentary will analyze previous hit songs and artists as well as the present."
This documentary will cover past hit songs by artists such as, Kim Gunmo, Lee Moonsae, Shin Seunghun and of course now 2NE1.
The crew stated:
"YG Entertainment's 2NE1 is the hottest group at the moment. We have interviewed CEO Yang Hyuksuk, Producers Teddy (1Tym) and G-Dragon (Big Bang), to try to discover the secrets of how a hit song is created."
Hwayobi celebrates with Sleepy
After her sweet performance with boyfriend, Sleepy, Hwayobi has released her second MV, Kiss Kiss Kiss from her mini-album, Summer. The video includes the couple joking around, playing Wii and just madly in love. This video isn't all flashy like some people, but it's relaxed and cute just like Hwayobi.
SNSD SooYoung’s Sister To Make A Musical Debut
Remember SNSD SooYoung's JOTA sister, Soo Jin, on the show Introducing A Star's Friend? Well, she is on her way to become a star just like her younger sister because she will be appearing in the musical "Jack The Ripper".
Soo Jin has been preparing a lot for her role of Gloria in the production which is set to kick off in December, which also stars Ahn Jae Wook. She has said her dreams are finally coming true with the debut of her musical career.
The last time we saw Soo Jin we heard her voice and saw her dancing skills, and if I can recall, she wasn't half bad. BUT we all have seen SNSD's horror film acting abilities (or lack thereof) and if those abilities are in Soo Jin's genes, she'll be going nowhere fast. Therefore I can't be too hopeful of Soo Jin's career as an actress in a horror musical, but hopefully she's got some talent. A pretty face like that shouldn't go to waste.
Do you think she'll be successful?
Big Bang on Hey Hey Hey! Big Bang in Japan
Big Bang was a featured guest on a recent episode of the popular Japanese show Hey! Hey! Hey! (Hey x 3). Since all members were present during the playback (Daesung included), it seems the recording for this particular episode took place weeks ago. I couldn't understand what they're saying but it was still funny to watch the interactions, they also performed their single "Gara Gara Go." In the past, TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki was on Hey x3 as guests previously on two occassions.
juNjou rOmanTicA
Junjou Romantica: Takahashi Misaki is suddenly having some unexpected and odd problems. What started as a need for some college entrance exam tutoring has somehow led him to being romanced by a suave older man who also happens to be his big brother’s best friend. Confused by all of his brand new emotions, Misaki struggles to deal with his suddenly very odd life. And if that wasn’t enough, his suitor, Usami Akihiko, has plenty of issues of his own. A man-child who decorates his room in giant teddy bears and toys, Usami is a famous novelist who also writes steamy boys’ love novels on the side. When Misaki cracks open one of these books and reads sentences like “Usami licks every inch of Misaki’s hot body”…well, let’s just say that all hell breaks loose.
Junjou Egoist: Kamijou Hiroki is a broken man, consumed by unrequited love for his childhood friend, Usami Akihiko (the writer from Junjou Romantica). Along comes Kusama Nowaki, whose name "Nowaki" means "typhoon", an orphan working his way through life since middle school. Like the typhoon he is named for, he whirls into Hiroki's life and heart, blowing all resistance away before him.
Junjou Terrorist: As fate would have, Miyagi, Yoh (The professor Kamijo, Hiroki works for as an assistant professor) and Takatsuki, Shinobu, Miyagi’s bosses son AND his ex-wife’s brother, would cross paths. Shinobu, who says whatever’s on his mind, tries to break into Miyagi’s world, saying things like, “its destiny!” While the 17 year old tries to invade Miyagi’s peace, the 35 year old is still lost in his dramatic past of his love for his late teacher, a past he thinks that will never stop lingering. As the Terrorist he is, Shinobu invades and destroys Migayi’s daily lifestyle, dramatically changing the Professor’s heart, making the older man’s heart grow into something new, as it’s destined to be…
Has another short story called Junjou Minimum in vol04, which in turn has a separate volume of its own...
There is also a short 4 chapter story entitled Junjou Mistake/Mystique. This is set 10 years before the beginning of the other stories and follows Ryūichirō Isaka (Usagi's editor) and his assistant, Kaoru Asahina. The two had been playmates since young after Ryūichirō's father took the Asahina's in and employed them. Over the years, Ryūichirō came to love Kaoru, but he believes it to be in vain as he is convinced Kaoru is in love with his father.
This story is consisted of three different stories:
Junjo Romantica
Junjo Egoist
and Junjo Terrorist

What Should I do
But me, I still think about you
Without A Heart
If I say that I’m sad, I scared that I will shed my tears
Why don’t I just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
But people ask me why I’m crying
Everyday I cry, I smile, cry then smile again
What’s wrong with me, why I do this repeatedly ?
Can’t differentiate between bottles of alcohol and meals
So far in my life, I never felt pain this excruciating
Absentmindedly, I write your name over and over on a piece of paper
In a day, the paper becomes black and I finally let the pen go
I long for you, I hold on to my cellphone and let it go
My eyes are filling up with tears again, this separation between us..
I’m without heart, I don’t have a heart
So I wouldn’t be feeling pain
Everyday I talk to myself, and put myself under a spell
But even so, I keep shedding my tears
If I say that I’m in pain, I scared that I will really be in pain
If I say that I’m sad, I scared that I will shed my tears
Why don’t I just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
But people ask me why I’m crying
When I’m laughing like this
After you left, I think I became a fool
I can’t do, I can’t do anything, so I die
I shove myself into a corner and live
Without you there’s nothing left to do
A day is too long, way too long
But what was I busy with, to make you feel so lonely
When you wanted to go shopping, going out with my friend
Was so easy, but why couldn’t I do the same with you ?
I always regretted being so slow
I don’t know if I’m really stupid, but I still can’t let go of our bond
If I say that I’m in pain, I scared that I will really be in pain
If I say that I’m sad, I scared that I will shed my tears
Why don’t I just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
But people ask me why I’m crying
When I’m laughing like this
(let’s smile) like couples in drama
(let’s smile) like the title of your blog
(let’s smile) happy like in my post
I’m without heart, I can’t be in pain
I’m without heart, I can’t be in pain
Let’s just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
Please, please let’s stop crying now…
