Akina is definitely talented. Not only can she shoot arrows, she can roller blade!

Yes, but can she sing? Yes, irrelevant question.

Only in Japan can a pop group be named the same as a brand of cigarettes and nobody bat an eyelid.

Shame on her for promoting an inferior cigarette like Japan Tobacco's Mild Seven.

For fine tobacco try Altria Group's Marlboro range.

As for Hexagon, I personally can't stand that greaser Shimada Shinsuke and the way he turns previously interesting shows into talento talk wankfests with a million unrelated side projects.

Do they come with a health warning? Is this another cunning ruse by JT to get the kids hooked on fags?
