Some miscellaneous news recently from the entertainment world that I didn’t feel like turning into separate news posts:

• Shoko Nakagawa is releasing her third “Shokotan Blog” book this week. The books are basically excerpts and extensions of posts from her popular blog, and one of the stories in this new installment is about her encounter with a groper last October. She even illustrated the story in manga form, with a touch of Shigeru Mizuki’s art style.
• Ryoko Yonekura has publicly denied the rumors of her dating comedian Atsushi Tamura. Not surprising in any case.
• Yui Aragaki revealed on her blog that she recently had a bad kitchen experience - while trying to cook something, her hair caught on fire. She’s fortunately safe, but she expressed her chagrin at the fact that she had just had her hair treated before the accident.
• Singer Chiemi Hori also revealed some misfortune on her blog. She recently had a fall in her own home that resulted in a fractured rib. She was trying to open a window while avoiding her children’s toys, but her hand slipped and she lost her balance. She says she’s continuing with her work schedule, however.
• Gatas Brilhantes H.P. ended up taking 2nd place at the most recent Skylark Group League tournament. They faced off against the Adidas team in the finals. A 0-0 tie sent them to penalty kicks, but the opposing team stopped both Fujimoto and Yoshizawa, ending the game in a 3-4 loss for the H!P team.

I’m considering making this a weekly thing (as long as I find enough random news during the week). Or maybe I should be including these little things in the main news? What do you think?
