The Official Riisa Naka ~ ZEBRA QUEEN Thread

[Mai82Go]

Naka Riisa is a japanese actress and will make her singing debut in April as Zebra Queen. The Zebra Queen is a character from Takashi Miikes next movie Zebraman 2: Vengeful Zebra City. Riisa never sung before so she had to practise a lot for this. There are two songs so far. One song is called

NAMIDA～ココロアバイテ～
(NAMIDA～kokoroabaite～)

A PV has already been released, you can watch it here:



The other song can be heard in the trailer for Zebraman 2.



You can also watch the trailer at the official website here.

Or even better visit the website of the Zebra Queen herself! Not much info there yet, though. Quite mysterious that woman.

Naka Riisa is a huge Ayu Fan and an up and coming actress in Japan. I follow her blog, and she seems like a fun and sweet person who does fangirl Ayu a lot, so she's probably similar to a lot of us here. She acted in quite a few dramas and movies, her next movie is another part of the Toki wo kakeru Shoujo Story, she also was the seiyuu for the main character in the Anime that was released a few years ago, but has a different storyline. You can also see her in the PV's Nostalgia and Toki wo kakeru Shoujo from Ikimono Gakari. Her next drama will be Yankee-kun to Megane-chan with Hiroki Narimiya, also coming in April. So 2010 is going to be her year for sure!
