Discuss!

[Faiza]

yay, i was hoping a there would be a thread for Shokatan! She seems so full of energy and so dorky at the same time (just the impression I got from her Kouhaku performance)

[elepop]

I became a fan of Shokotan right after I saw her Kouhaku performance. She was great.

I just realized I saw her on Hello! Morning, Morning Musume's show. She was playing a drawing game with them. She definitely has great drawing skills.

If you want to check the episode: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v10373573...6011885&rank=0

[Luv ~Venus~]

Wow! I wanna get into her now. Her album covers are so cute and it's like she being her normal self.

I'm in you guys!

[elepop]

I'm currently downloading her whole discography from Jpopsuki. I can upload them later!

[EDIT] OH! dokidokisuru already did! COOL.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Yaayyyy! I wanna definitely hear her! (I haven't seen her performance yet...I won't until I go back to school!)

Btw, what anime has she been in?

[elepop]

^ "Eyeshield 21" only.

[Faiza]

Haha that Haromoni episode made Shokotan look lke shes in love with Rika and Maki Goto xD

[drewbilation]

She's also voicing Neko Musume in the "hakaba kitarou" anime staring the tenth.

[Bad Wolf]

Pardon me but er, what's gravure again? D:

Either way she looks/sounds interesting... One to keep an eye on, I guess?

[drewbilation]

^ Gravure is kind of like a bikini model.

I forgot to download her songs. >,<
I will download once I finish the secret concert. lol
And I fell in love with her when she was on Arashi no Shukudaikun!
She's my favourite nerd ever! I recommend you watch her episode.
Not because I'm an Arashi fangirl, but because she seriously cracks me up.

[elepop]

^ I'll try to find that episode! Shoko is the cutest nerd!

Which episode # is it?

[EDIT] Never mind, found it!

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v14351325...703462&rank=21

She's on Episode 52. They have a cosplay event, lol.

it's on there if anyone wants to download it. It's subbed and all, too.

Doesn't Jackie Chan have a picture she drew or something? o___o' I downloaded her mini-album around the time it was released but didn't really pay attention to it so I deleted it. I'm going to try her again.

Yes, apparently!

Nakagawa mastered Cantonese and would visit Hong Kong with her mother frequently, and even got to meet Jackie Chan by chance during one of these visits. She drew an illustration of him; this drawing now hangs in Chan's Hong Kong office.

Isn't her family like, super famous or something?

[elepop]

Wiki says that "She is the daughter of the late Nakagawa Katsuhiko, once called the Japanese David Bowie."!

She seems pretty cool ^^ And very pretty too I liked her Sora iro Days single, she's got potential but I don't know how far I'll get into her.

[criminal]

FINALLY, some not-so-famous JPop starlet gets an active thread in AHS. <3
Well, I've been a fan ever since I saw her performance of Sorairo Days on Music Fighter. And like, yeah. She's awesome and she has an awesome personality. LOL.
