TOKYO —

Singer Akiko Wada, 58, on Tuesday attended the 40th anniversary event of Meiji Seika group’s popular snack Carl Corn. Wada, who is celebrating her 40th year in show business this year, said, “I’ve just got a phone call from Ichiro in the U.S. and he told me he has liked Carl ever since he was a kid. So I better send him some right away.”

Asked about Mona Yamamoto’s recent scandal, the outspoken Wada said, “She should close some parts of her body with plaster tape.”

Hahaha! Love the Mona comment!

And is it really called Carl Corn? Not Curl Corn?

Wada Akiko? She just has to up her image as a tough woman, but is in fact a whimp. Her comment on this Mona person is just blabbing from a frigid woman. She made similar comments about these drug addicted "artists" here in Japan, while she herself can't even quit smoking herself.

I guess that the incident of Mona isn't involved with Carl Corn...I don't know why someone asks Ms. Wada about Mona...Anyway, we just celebrate Carl Corn on 40th anniversary. I am still younger than Carl corn. After I read the article, I want to taste it again with my son. He has never tasted it before...I want to share the flavor with him together.

She's one heck of a singer. I saw her on the Red and White Show several times, and she can really belt out a song. Her voice is sooooo clear.

She is a great performer indeed. Never mind the degrading comments some here think it necessary to make. Akiko also has a habit of making controversial statements occasionally, but manages to do so without being vulgar, which is something many in the show business are incapable of.
