Popular Japanese actress Maki Horikita in Shonen Magazine (no.21-22, 2009)…
Japanese starlet Maki Horikita is crowned Miss Cotton 2008. Eiko Koike is named as Mrs Cotton while TOKIO’s Taichi Kokubun the Mr Cotton.
The 5th Cotton USA Awards, meant to promote the cotton industry in Japan, were presented on May 14 in Ebisu, Tokyo. The annual awards are given to celebrities to celebrities who possess the ‘softness’ and ‘freshness’ like cotton.
That’s just about the weirdest award I have heard of.
Japan’s Fuji TV [Jp] is filming Hana Kimi, a drama series based on popular manga Hanazakari no Kimitachi e by Hisaya Nakajo.
Hana Kimi is about a girl who fell in love and decided to transfer into the same school to meet her dream guy. Problem is, the guy is attending an all-boys high school, and the girl will have to disguise as a HE to meet her Mr Right.
The manga was first adapted by the Taiwanese, starring Ella Chen, Wu Chun and Jiro Wang. The drama was a huge hit and prompted Fuji TV to produce the Japanese version, which will star Maki Horikita, Shun Oguri and Toma Ikuta etc.
