TV celebrity Becky, 26, was the guest of honor at this week's Suntory Cocktail Awards. Twenty-four cocktails were chosen for the final round of judging. In the spirit of the Japan-themed occasion, which featured only Japanese brands of alcohol, Becky attended the ceremony in traditional Japanese dress.
The top prize went to a green, lime-flavored creation called "Green Echo Retreat." Sampling the drink, Becky said, "Both the name and the flavor are nice. Is it OK to enjoy your job this much?"
When asked what she thought of going on a cocktail date with a special someone, she replied, "If that ever happens, I'm sure you'll get to write a story about it."

Do you have to say this in Katakana English?? That is a mouthful to say when you want to order one

When asked what she thought of being asked to attend a cocktail event despite being unable to finish a single glass, she replied, “Yeah that happens all the time, I’m sure you’ll get to write a story about it.”

She looks a lot like Mr. Bean with that forehead. About the most useless talent out there.

Gaah, I can't stand her. I don't know what it is, but she bothers me more than most talent out there.

More like Guri-n eko- ritori-to. Of course most people are going o think it's some hybrid car.

I think Becky is cute. And she's atually talented and funny. And she DOES speak English. Don't know why so many people seem to hate her face here.

Living in the States and, of course, not seeing Japanese terebi these days, I'd never heard of her. I Googled her and she is cute, even if she is wearing green contact lenses.
Doesn't look Japanese in the least.

I thought she changed her name to something musical note something.

I second that. She displays a lot more intelligence than those who . . . never mind.

She is not only CUTE but also really SMALL, I worked with her last year on NODAME KANTABIRE, at the TOHO Studios here in Tokyo, she was also very, very kind and understood my jokes in English that made her laugh while she was supposed to be passed out! Sorry Becky, just wanted to check if you really understood English.
