Just keep your arms at your sides, look blankly at a spot on the floor 3 meters ahead of you, and let the soundtrack do the rest. And when in doubt, pout.

Big thrill!

Who the heck cares? Her quote is particularly moronic.

Hitomi Kuroki is still a total babe.

sure she is beautiful and perhaps a talented actor etc... but is this story really 'HEADLINE NEWS'... makes me wonder!

Nicole, you must be a newbie. Pointed out numerous times in similar situations, but notice the headline or the section where this was posted? Yes, it is the entertainment section, so it is appropriate. Now if this news was posted under the National or perhaps Politics section, sure, that does not make sense but nothing wrong with putting this in the entertainment section. Thanks.

why is this under "Headline News" ??? Put this into the Entertainment section.

headlines are never entertainment related unless someone dies. A headline is a lead story, something important like crime or national news. Hence what the head of headline means. This may be different in Japanese I don't know, but for an English news site this would not be the correct usage.

even calling this a top story would be the same problem. Recent news more like, not a top story and in no way a headline.

I can't believe she is my age, she looks way more onee-san verging on oba-san than 24. Funny how the Japanese celebrities are seem to be ageing faster than their Western counterparts.

This sounds like another gripping epic

This drama sounds almost as good as that one where they were all chartered accountants!
