Keiko Kitagawa introduction to Seventeen, November 2003.  I can’t believe this was 10 years ago - SHE IS SUCH AN ICKLE BB UGH

But the actual reason I’m posting this: Keiko’s Blog Translation recently put up a translation of the text, and I thought it was interesting enough to warrant a post.

Nickname: Kitayan.

Sibling: Younger brother in 3rd middle.

Monthly allowance: ¥10,000. (Mod Note: This equals about $100 now, but the exchange rate might have been better in 2003.  I certainly hope so.  Anyway, I’m assuming this is referring to her salary with the magazine, in which case, wow that is not a lot of money.)

Future goal: Preserve my beautiful skin and fresh radiance! (Mod Note: While I consider this mission accomplished, if Keiko said this unprompted, I’ll eat my hat.)

Treasured item: My print club photo collection that I started in 1st high last summer.

Favourite ST model: Suzuki Emi-chan♥♥

Favourite type of boys: Those that work hard to reach their goals.

Boyfriend: None.

Favourite celebrity: Yada Akiko-san♥ (Mod Note: These two are friends now.  Keiko and Akiko recently went to go see a Takarazuka production, “Rose of the Versailles.”  Last year, Keiko also went to see Akiko in a Takarazuka staging of “Maya Miki.”)

Favourite convenience store candy: Consommé punch flavoured potato chips.

Favourite characters: Minnie-chan and Sailor Mars. (Mod Note: CRYING ABOUT IT)

Things you collect: Earrings.

Number of earring holes: 1 right, 3 left.

Special skills: Swimming, tarot cards.

Favourite food: Curry rice, ramen.

Favourite manga: “Black Jack”, “Buddha”.

Moving book: “Between Calm and Passion - Rosso”

Rina Koike on the cover of Arms Magazine, April and May 2013.  No, I didn’t know such a thing existed either.  Also, unless I’m mistaken, Ayaka Komatsu just finished a covershoot for the same magazine set to hit stands this summer.

A feature on Mew Azama celebrating her 10th anniversary in show business.  Congrats, Mew!
