Latest News - New
And to the really great news. Former "Say a Little Prayer"  member Ookushi Erika has returned to the entertainment world. Her future plans are to become an actress, according to an interview in a magazine, so currently she's working towards that goal. And get this. Her production office is "FLAMME" the identical office as Hirosue Ryoko and Okuda Megumi, if you know them. They are very famous in Japan, see the link below. Since her production office being one of the tops there maybe we can expect a very good thing to come out of her new adventure. Hopefully I could report back soon bringing further great news.
