“TOKYO — Has “talento” Miyu Uehara, 22, given up her poor-man’s act? This week, she played the role of “manager for a day” at luxury ice cream brand Patiscream’s Printemps Ginza store. She rode on a wave of notoriety for her 10 siblings and impoverished upbringing, but on this day she pushed cups of ice cream that cost 350 yen each.
Even so, Uehara said she had never been to Ginza for anything but work, explaining “I don’t really fit here in Ginza. It smells too much like rich people. Mmm, I wonder what I should do.. this ice cream is the best!”
Sources say this was Uehara’s first time working at a PR event for a luxury brand product. Uehara went on talking about her private life as normal. “Yesterday I bought two watermelon popsicles for 100 yen each. At home, my mother watered down the Calpis and froze it into dessert for us, but it was mostly water.”

“Gravure idol Miho Asagi (30) announced on Thursday that she is now married. Her husband is a 29-year-old man not in show business.
Asagi is a member of an idol group called Kekkonganbo, which means “desire to marry.” As the name suggests, the unit is composed of several idols who are looking for a marriage partner. Now that she has achieved her goal, Asagi will be graduating from the group, though she hopes to continue her entertainment career, likely outside of gravure modeling.”

Ueno, who appeared in a wedding dress, spoke of her girlish feelings. “I want to get married once in my life. But if I decide an age to get married at, and I can’t get married then, I’ll be contradicting myself. So I’ll just say by around the age of 80.”

“TOKYO — Celebrity Yuko Ogura, 25, attended a commemorative event this week celebrating sales of three million copies of the travel book series “Tabi no Sashi Kaiwacho” (Travel Handbook of Finger Pointing) at Tokyo’s Marunouchi Oazo.
The popular series allows travelers to communicate overseas simply by pointing at illustrations and words in the book, and currently covers 78 countries. At the event, a limited edition “Korin Seigo Version” (Korin Star Language Verison) was unveiled, where all words in the edition contained the suffix “rinko” or “pu.” Ogura, popularly known as Yukorin, and “talent” “Miracle Hikaru,” 29, carried out a “conversation” in the language, much to the amusement of the crowd. “These books are perfect for traveling abroad. Everyone here should give it a tryrinko,” Ogura said.
Ogura, who has described her “Korin Star” alien character as “getting to be a bit too much,” said, “I’ll do it for as long as I can.”
