Her latest hit single “Treasure” was announced on her official home page today.  It is smash hit dance music which is very popular all over the world. The song is produced by STUDIO APARTMENT and is completely in English since the sexy diva is fluent in the language.

In a video for musicpool.jp SAWAJIRI ERIKA was wearing a classy white suit with red glasses and matching red lipstick, showing off a matured image.

Some bad rumours

Everyone saw Sawajiri Erika's performance at the "GirlsAward2010" and the infamous outfit that was barely able to keep her butt from being completely exposed, but not everyone saw what was happening behind the scenes. Thank god we have tabloids like the "Shukan Bunshun" that are more than happy to give us some juicy Erika gossip.

So let's start with a comment from one of the Avex staff: "As a staff of Avex I'm ashamed to say it, but Sawajiri simply never underwent any voice training at all. At first there were plans for her to sing a different song, but then she suddenly decided to make an own song for the event. The song was such a rushed job that we couldn't possibly ask fans to pay something for this."

Of course that didn't affect her VIP treatment backstage. Out of all the performers at the event, she received the biggest dressing room and even more than 1 hour longer rehearsals. Unfortunately the longer rehearsal made the whole even more anxious than before. "At the rehearsal the day before the event, she had some problems with her voice and we had to interrupt the rehearsal for an hour. In the beginning of the rehearsal at the appointed day she was about to go on stage when Sasaki Nozomi and Kinoshita Yukina were still up and she suddenly made a scene "What's with them? They are a hindrance!"

The whole stage concept with the red flag, the black feathers and the very "original" dress was Sawajiri's idea as well. Her stylist actually prepared a different outfit for her, but Sawajiri said that it wasn't like what she imagined and ordered her to make a different outfit. "You know the red flag? She never told us from the staff anything about a flag! It was time for her performance and all of a sudden she was waving that huge red flag. People said that Avex president Matsuura Masato was completely dumbfounded when he saw the performance and left the hall before she even finished." A staff from the event revealed. So much about Matsuura's faith in Sawajiri.

You might think that the "misunderstandings" ended with the event, but unfortunately she continued to do unnecessary things at the after-show party. Another Avex staff summarized it for us, "She wasn't even drunk yet and already went all >FOOOH!< at Matsuura who came to greet her. Then she had some of her beloved alcohol and started to say things like >Me, the brightest star today! Wasn't I amazing~< or >That's how you do it! I won't ever leave the show business anymore! I hope I can show that to Takahsiro too!"

My opinion: I really like Erika (no shit! I post kinda much here LOL) and I'm not sure to believe in the rumours; maybe they are true, maybe not. I consider her as a badbehaved diva but people (including myself) still consider her relevant. It kinda bugged me to read the treat towards Sazaki and Kinoshita but well...maybe is not truth at all. Being good news or bad news, Japan's gossip press stills having an eye on Erika and the attention is always helpful in a comeback.

Gossip : Erika Sawajiri fail to make contract with Avex?~

Is the comeback already over with one commercial, one live performance and some photo shoots? At least it seems to be a much more difficult endeavor if we want to believe the newest article about Sawajiri Erika in the “Shukan Shinchou.”

A pants-eating butt and lip-syncing. It’s no surprise her performance wasn’t that well received by a lot of her critics. Her divorce doesn’t seem to come to a result as well and now the Shinchou claims that even the contract negotiations with Avex failed.

The agency was supposed to become her new big support and help her to regain a foothold in the industry, so how will that influence her comeback? The problem with Avex is that Erika needs to leave her old agency before they agree to make a contract with her.

However, her contract with the Spanish agency is still intact and it’s doubtful that she will come to an agreement with her agency before the divorce is over. The reason is simple, her soon-to-be ex-husband Takashiro Tsuyoshi is the company president of her agency.

“She has to cancel her contract with them first,” an Avex official revealed. “We often tried to get in contact with Takashiro to talk about the issue, but we simply never got a hold of him. I suppose that is because he wants to deal with his divorce first and I doubt he will stop being that obstinate until the divorce talks are over.

It’s a huge problem for us that we have to rely on whether she will be able to deal with her divorce soon or not. Like this we have no choice but to abandon our plans to get her under contract.” He continued. There are more things to be worried about.

Public agency “Decade” was supposed to help Erika with her comeback and that agency is a child company of “Proseed Corporation”. What is so important about them? Both the company presidents of Decade and Proseed are very close friends of Takashiro. “They requested us to be their contact person here in Japan and to look for projects such as roles, but at the moment we aren’t doing anything,” an official of Decade revealed. People at Proseed say the same, “At first there have been a few offers for movies and dramas, but in the end none of them came to realization.

At the moment there really is no work for her in the near future.” Takashiro or Avex would probably be able to push their efforts or that of other agencies a lot more, but unfortunately nothing is going forward thanks to her divorce. The best advice would be to hurry the divorce negotiations and to concentrate on her work, but so far she hasn’t even met nor called Takashiro to talk about it.

Lets just hope everything goes well and that she is really able to get a contract with Avex
I really liked the few singles she released in the past and maybe she could release more like those
But she definitely can't pull any more stunts like that performance again or she is really gone
