Japan Top 40 Singles – 11/1/09

I found these two videos on Youtube and whilst the Single Countdown might be a week old it’s still interesting to know what’s going up and down the Japanese charts. It’s not the official Oricon charts though. You’ll also see the Album Chart, a preview of upcoming singles released and a flashback Top 10 chart back to 27th January 2007.

Kago Ai Photobook – Adultism

There’s quite a lot of debate in the blogging community about Kago Ai’s semi-nude photobook Adultism at the moment. I really don’t understand what the big deal is all about to be perfectly honest. Some fans are disgusted that she’s going down this route whilst other praise her for doing something different. As for myself, I think the shots are tastefully done and don’t degrade her in any way shape or form. She looks great in all of the pictures I’ve seen. Perhaps some people need to realise that this isn’t Aibon anymore. The image of a cute, funny, mischevious kid in Morning Musume is long gone, she’s now an adult so maybe this is a bit of a shock to some to her fans. It’s not like she’s going to delve straight into AV work because of it.  At the end of the day, if you don’t like the pictures then don’t buy the photobook.
