A fashion model and modeling agency president will make her debut as a singer next year. Her artist name will be mini, seemingly a reference to the skirts she wears to show off her long legs, which are said to be insured for 100 million yen.

mini, who stands at 159 centimeters tall with 88-cm legs, appears in fashion magazines such as JELLY and BLENDA. Two years ago, she founded a management agency that currently represents about 20 models.

mini has been aiming to become a singer since the age of 15. She is finally achieving that dream with the help of JIN (32), the musician who produces for artists such as GReeeeN. JIN put together the song "Are U Ready?," which mini will release as her first single in February. It will have a tie-in with the commercial for Suzuki's Chevrolet MW, which she will also appear in.

tracklist for Are U Ready?
01. Are U Ready?
02. Special memory
03. Are U Ready? (Yasutaka Nakata remix)

You can listen to the b-side here;

She just screams to be actually produced by Nakata. She seems like someone who Nakata would produce. A president of a model agency?! NAKATA PICK HER UP NOW. Sadly I don't like the b-side, I hope the a-side is amazing, and that the Nakata remix will be epic.

Figured I make some to start off 2010!

Here is the official tour edit of Take off from the ⊿ Tour.
I can't seem to find a mp3 of it, but I'm sure it'll pop up soon.

LOL Awkward silence at 0:24! XD Good save Nocchi. Performance starts at 1:07 :]

Y'know, It might just be me, but this one feels ripped or something....It is in Dutch and I hear more random English, but otherwise *shrugs*

Happy New Year everyone!

Just came back from the countdown party where Nakata was the main DJ and Capsule performed and I bring good news!

Nakata said Capsule's working on an album coming out this year and they even performed a new song :D (There's about 3 lines of repeating English text sung by Toshiko, sadly couldn't make out what it was, liked the song though)
Sadly no recording because camera's were confiscated at the entrance :(
There were professional photographers though, so I'm sure pictures will turn up sooner or later.

That's it for now, just wanted to bring you a piece of good news to start 2010!
