Sonim is my favorite artist [in Japan], it's too bad she doesn't sing anymore. I'm going to karaoke on the 29th and promise to sing Curry Rice no Onna [as well as some old idol stuff like Moritaka Chisato, Hayami Yu, Nishida Hikaru etc.]
I have all the Sonim photobooks and even the digi+kishin DVD [despite it being mostly incoherent plot combined with stills from the book]. When I lived in the USA I wrote Sonim a fan letter and then at her concert and handshake event I asked her if she remembered it and she said yes [though I think she doesn't actually and it's all her skill as an actress].
She has the best body in Jpop if not the entire Japanese celebrity scene. I hope for the chance to meet her again. By the way, I'm looking for this poster if anyone knows where to find it

Good singing, great 'guts' [read endurance/perserverance], beautiful body, likes weight training and is really cool in person. The total package.
