Hello Kitty seems to have been doing fine without one. Is there anything Yoshiki doesn't try to latch on to?

The Shukan Bunshun article is long but reading it will shed a lot more light on what transpired.

To many people, high quality streaming drama series have surpassed movies for a while now.

Very nice!

If he really loved her (or him), he wouldn't give up so quickly. Nobody forces him to look at the social media drivel either.

He was very funny in his early days but after that became known for being overpaid and contributing very little to whatever program he was on. As for his movies...no thanks.

Funny!

Waste of money. Ego massage big time.

Money grab.

And the artwork for the ads pretty darn good.

I guess they could have added "Stop Hamas!" but that would be asking too much.

Granted home-grown athletes take precedence but you'd think Japanese media would give her more attention, especially given how popular gymnastics are here.

Highly recommend the new documentary series

"Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn" on Apple+.

Ryuchell committed suicide at his office where he also lived. Note it was his own company as well. So it was not a protest towards a talent agency in this case.

Nothing but word salad from Meghan. Might as well use AI and create the same virtue signaling.

Duh.

Like most "celebrity" Soka followers she probably had little or no knowledge of what the organization is really like in Japan or how it is truly regarded. In any case, RIP.

Kitano has hardly any cred in Hollywood...makes you wonder.

I'll stick to streaming dramas, thank you. Movies are too much in love with themselves. Congrats to Michelle Yeoh though.

Talking to drivers can be very pleasant.

Borderline ridiculous.

Drama series on streaming platforms are more rewarding than overblown, self-indulgant Oscar-bait movies.

Meanwhile, everyone is watching streaming.

It's not a documentary, it's escapist entertainment. Let's lighten up.

She has a beloved hit/standard song "Koibito Wa Santa Claus." Like Mariah Carey, I'm sure many countries have their own Christmas songs.
