Just being cute, and having a famous relative, isn't going to be enough. Wait a minute, this is Japan....

no-longer just a Japanese phenomenon and we loving it. SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE SHAKE IT SHAKE IT!

I haven't lived anywhere else in Asia, but is Japan the King of Nepotism??? She wants to be famous without any discernible talent. It's obvious by the fact that she's just being billed as a "tarento" and the fact that she was chosen for this promotion because "she's a big fan." What B.S. the Japan entertainment industry is.

she's nearly old enough to get in a bikini for general entertainment purposes. come on Ichiro, cheer her on

Last month it was Chiyonofuji's daughter, now it's Ichiro's niece. But not yet at the level of J-politics where more than 40% of Diet members are sons and daughters of Diet members.

Ichiro and Kurumi's father don't even get along. its a shame that she would use ichiro's name to promote herself. It doesn't even seem like she has talent. But I hope she uses this as a chance to make it big.

That didn't stop Koizumi's son from becoming a tarento.

help Suzuki, saying, ‘‘She’s doing very well.’’

Help her do what exactly? Hold the DVD so it faces the cameras?

the general populace is crying out for a photo of them both in bikinis sharing a banana. come on JT, cater for Japan Today and help kickstart 2 careers. it's a win win situation

It's a good job she has famous relatives as that pretty much secures her a role in whatever field she desires.
