The best and worst thing about the Japanese celebrity world is the lack of nip slips. The only one I manage to find is this unfortunate screencap of Dou Mariko from Music Station Super Live 2005 when she decided that silk + bras = EMBARRASSING BRA LINES! except that she forgot that she is not, in fact, barbie and actually has nipples. It's a shame because that dress is actually cute. Moral of the

2006-11-06T13:21:00.000-05:00

To me, fashion is even more serious business than the internet is. Therefore, on slow news days I've decided that making fun of celebrity stylists (what? as if any famous person in Japan actually dresses themselves) will suffice.Today's victim is Mika Nakashima. Now, don't get me wrong I think Mika is very pretty and can be classy if she wants to be. However, what the hell is up with this

It's not surprising that fans were shocked.' - says a music writer"Just when you thought the Bitch Fight was over... Koda Kumi has picked a new target; the Queen of J-Pop! And if Ayu's the type of girl who gains weight from stress, it looks like it's a losing battle.

It's articles like these that really remind us ordinary women that models are just- well, women. And sometimes women have really bad luck. Take, for instance, Japan's current top model, Ebihara Yuri. Everyone loves her. She is undeniably beautiful and nice. She got to play Inagaki Goro's girlfriend on TV. She even has a shrimp sandwich named after her. Yum. But when she went to Hawaii for a photo

Koda Kumi and Otsuka Ai have been going at it to get the #2 spot over at Avex. #1 is of course reserved for our favorite Nagase-stealing plastic surgery enthusiast. But enough about Ayumi Hamasaki, let's talk a little about our challengers:This is Koda Kumi. She's the one who

this hilarious picture is actually a picture of the genius artist Yayoi Kusama. If you don't know who she is, find out, or be uncultured. And yes, she is as crazy as she looks. But crazy in that sweet-ass way. This is probably what Shiina Ringo will end up looking like in 45 years or something.
