[KarenPang]

Not sure if this has been posted before but I figure it will be interesting to find out what's the education qualifications of your fave J Pop stars . You might know it & I might not . Hence I might learn something new about it today & in the days to come .

I start 1st .

I know that Mika Nakashima was so passionate to pursue her dreams as a singer that she decide not to go to high school or college in order to achieve what her heart's most desired about .

I also know that ARASHI's Sakurai was educated in Keiko Uni which's the Japansese answer to the Ivy League .

KAT-TUN's Nakamaru Yuichi just got enrolled into Waseda University.

as for the other members, i believe they all graduated high school except for Kamenashi & Akanishi. Koki was in University some some time too, but had to drop out due to work.

KANJANI8's Yokoyama never went to high school because he had JE work too. but he has street smarts, that's for sure.
