Btw, did you guys know there's a remix of Koi Shiyou done by Nakata Yasutaka of capsule fame? Supposedly it's going to be released as a digital download sometime this month, but it's pretty good! Electronic Leah, haha.

Maybe I'll actually like the song after this!

^ I agree, dai ~ Sounds too much like Koi Shiyou to really stand out I'm hoping the c/w's will be good though, since she seems to do much better with those!

Does anyone know what the deal is with Leah and ISSA of Da Pump?

Can someone (who can read Japanese) please give the gist of this article: http://ameblo.jp/uraurageinou/entry-10038841753.html#cbox
I tried to use an online translator but I'm not sure what the article is trying to say.

Also I'm not too sure but there are rumors going around that Leah might just quit the whole Japan thing and go back to the US?!? Have any of you read that article? Something about she's dissatisfied with her current situation (probably overworked) and she's disappointed that all she's been doing is gravure and variety shows, while her original intention was to become a singer and she supposedly had a falling out with her manager? Gosh, I really hope this is just a rumor and isn't true!

She's already off to a great start and to throw it all away will be such a waste.

^Where the hell did those rumors come from? I read some of the most active threads on Leah (this one being included) and I've never heard that shit.

From what I understand she's pursuing her dream as a singer. I don't see how the hell she'd be disatisfied by appearing on variety shows, she wasn't on THAT many. And her latest gravure venture was with a singaporian photographer, Leslie Kee...and she even composed a song with her little bro.

Give the source of your rumors plz~

That's the thing, the info is in Japanese so the English forums haven't been updated with the "news". I mean there are all these sites with the same stories. You can google leah dizon issa and use the online translator if you want but anyway, I just hope these reports aren't true! It would be such a big letdown if ever.

Well I guess it could be a bit tiring and frustrating appearing on variety shows considering she's not fluent in the language yet. I know she hosts at least 1 show, that Sakigake! Ongaku Banzuke Vegas one. I'm not sure if she has any other regular shows but if she does, maybe that's the source of her disappointment? I have no idea. Hopefully, someone can clarify what the articles are really saying.

I think it says something about ISSA liking Leah and that she might have accepted his feelings. Also the article mentions the stuff about her being displeased with her current career. It's all only really speculation it seems.

I'm far from good at japanese and had to look up almost all the kanji(firefox's rikaichan extension<3)so I'm not completely sure about this, but that's what I got from it.

Thank you for attempting to translate! I read some stuff on the net and that Issa dude seems like bad news but of course it's up to Leah who she chooses to date, that's if the rumor is true.

I was browsing the Kanjani8 community and according to a member, Leah is going to be the guest on the August 7 episode of Mucha Buri.

I guess she'll be singing L.O.V.E U on the show because the guests usually perform.

^awesome news, Kanjani8 loves her >_>

LEAH DIZON'S L.O.V.E. U PV~!

http://www.mediafire.com/?an1nwrvdn3e

Its a scorcher everyone, her best one yet, imo.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #430 on:** July 24, 2007, 01:55:43 AM »

^^ from what I can tell, she's super popular in japan among youth, and not only among gravure/idol fans.

Rumors of her throwing it all away because she's not happy doing gravure stuff is a bunch of bull, I think.

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #431 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:14:42 AM »

I definitely agree that those rumours are just that ~ Rumours. There's no way Leah would have worked this hard to establish herself in Japan to just drop it all of a sudden

As for the L.O.V.E.U PV... I love it!!

The cheerleading uniforms are so cute and the dance shot was pretty great ~ She seems to have improved a lot in her dancing since Koi Shiyou, haha

RionZ · « **Reply #432 on:** July 25, 2007, 01:36:27 AM »

^Its actually that the Koi Shiyou choreography sucked, she was always a better dancer. You can see her shake that thang in the clubs in older vids lol... >_> The cute image has restricted her in the dance department, just a little bit though, and the choreography in the new PV is definitely much much better than Koi Shiyou's

Holy crap. A magazine or tabloid in Japan had the headline "Leah Dizon: I had sex with a horse." They must have gotten it from the Leah Dizon: Girls of 360 DVD interview where she made a blooper and accidentally said "I did horses" instead of horseback riding. Ugh. To be honest, I'm kinda annoyed at how the people of 360 video edited her interview to make her look somewhat stupid by including her blunders. They should have been a little more careful considering the fact that they're obviously just riding on Leah's popularity right now plus they released Leah's old material to specifically target the market in Japan, where the DVD is also being sold right now.

/Sorry end of rant

RionZ · « **Reply #434 on:** July 25, 2007, 04:02:21 AM »

^No they didn't edit that video to make her look stupid, and she even corrected herself, it was a great laugh (or don't tell me...the newly released girls of 360 video that was released in Japan edited the footage to make her look dumb? i'm guessing a translation issue, u can't really get the joke unless you spoke english). And everyone slips up all the time. But yeah, what a gay headline, Leah is the rumor queen in Japan now it seems.

dcrux · « **Reply #435 on:** July 25, 2007, 05:01:46 AM »

^ Actually, they did kinda edit it to make her look stupid. You know that part in the beginning where she had trouble explaining what it's like to be of mixed race? They showed her rambling then they put a big "HUH?" text on the screen. Was it really necessary to do that? Yes, people have slip-ups but that's what editing is for, they could have easily left those parts out. I know, I know I probably seem like I don't have a sense of humor right now (I do, okay) but I'm just annoyed because like I said, the 360 people obviously released Leah's old stuff to ride on her popularity in Japan. Since they're using her to make a quick buck, at least have the courtesy to make her look good and not like some kind of airhead! Sorry if I'm getting worked up over this but Leah has been getting so much flack from the printed media in Japan regarding her morality, etc. I've seen scans of newspapers where they photoshopped a pic of her eating a sandwich to make it look like she was giving head and now this horse thing just added fuel to the fire. I feel sorry for the poor girl. $:-\$

RionZ · « **Reply #436 on:** July 25, 2007, 05:15:30 AM »

Yeah I understand what you mean, I found it funny at the time, but now it is worth getting mad over, but thats only because some publication is mistranslating or taking words literally when they shouldn't. Even though it says Girls of 360, for all we know, some japanese company licensed it from them so they could make a quick buck. Everyone who's her fan knows what type of modeling she did in the past, so they're not gonna edit it to make her "look good".

But yeah, its ridiculous that they're attacking her morality, questioning her every past and present move, and her nationality, but thats how the media is man, don't take it personal. The printed media is just having their field day with Leah since she's gotten so popular over there. The more popular you get the more wild the shit is made up. Good thing she REALLY didn't do anything stupid before, because that would be harmful to her career now, not some madeup crap in publications.

Is best to just avoid stuff from tabloids, as you'll probably just end up with a hot head or full of misinformation.

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #438 on:** July 25, 2007, 11:22:18 PM »

Does anyone know if there's going to be the usual mini-poster with the Regular Edition? So far I haven't read that there's a bonus with this single...

In other news, Leah's first full-length album drops 9.12.07!!!

RionZ · « **Reply #439 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:40:58 AM »

Not sure about the poster, wakaba_doll, sorry

. Anyways, I can't wait to order the album~
