Sasaki Nozomi set to sing new non・no CM song

Sasaki Nozomi has revealed her new single, “non×non!! ～2011 spring edition～”, which will be released on March 16th as a limited edition ringtone download. The single will be used as the CM song for fashion magazine non・no, which regularly features Sasaki.

Once the song begins playing, the song’s repeating “non-no non-no non-no non-no” phrase is the key hook for listeners. To cater to the effect the hook will have on listeners, the ringtone for “non×non!! ～2011 spring edition～” will be released on March 16th.


In response to the wishes of non・no’s readership, the song creates “an unbelievable environmental ‘men’s episode’ that is extensively included in the song’s lyrics. When women hear the song, they’ll say, ‘this is true!’, and when men hear the song, they’ll think, ’should I secretly check how I feel?’ Even quiet and reserved guys will shout ‘no way!’ and ‘non・no!’ out loud.”

Sasaki’s music is already familiar to television viewers, as she sang Lotte’s “Fit’s” commercial song, “Kamu to Funyan feat. Astro”, and also covered Moritaka Chisato’s famous song, “Jin-Jin-Jingle Bells”, to critical acclaim.

Will her new song have the same effect on non・no magazine?

Park Han Byul reveals she wants to marry after 30

Actress Park Han Byul (27) revealed, “I’m thinking to marry Dongwook (Se7en) after I turn 30.”

On March 10th, the star was interviewed by Newsen to promote her upcoming movie, “My Black Minidress.” During the interview, she clarified her marriage rumors with her 10-year boyfriend, Se7en.

Recently, Park Han Byul became a topic of hot interest when she said, “Let’s live well” to Se7en on MBC’s variety show “Come to Play.” Netizens wondered, “Are they getting married soon?”

Park Han Byul responded, “Maybe if I was living in my mother’s era, but I think that thinking about marriage as a 27-28 year-old is a bit early. That day, the theme of ‘Come to Play’ was ‘women who wanted to marry’; I said those things to match the show.”

She continued, “I have a lot of unnies around me who are over 30 and are working hard, but most of them are single. Nothing can be guaranteed in a person’s life, but I want to marry after I turn 30. I think Dongwook feels the same.

Park Han Byul also revealed that it was Se7en who encouraged her to take the role in ‘My Black Minidress’. Since she normally plays innocent and ultra-feminine roles, he thought it would be interesting for her to take on a character who enjoyed partying and dating around.

She stated, “After seeing the scenario, Dongwook said, ‘I think you will match well with this’, and encouraged me to try the role. At the final recording, he even brought 100 servings of chicken and pizza to the set, which made me proud”, showing a slight smile.

Park Han Byul shares her feelings about being apart from Se7en because of work

On March 10th, actress Park Han Byul participated in an interview with Star News and revealed her feelings on having to be apart from her boyfriend, Se7en, for long periods of time because of their busy schedules.

When asked whether she’d be able to wait for him once his time to enlist in the army came, she replied, “I’ve never thought about it deeply because it feels like something that won’t happen until well into our future. Honestly, I’ve technically already sent him away to the army three times now. He promoted in Japan and the U.S. so frequently, we spent a lot of time apart.”


The actress was then asked to name some of the changes their relationship underwent after going public with their relationship. “It’s true that everything became a lot more comfortable. I’m not good at lying so I was scared that people would ask when I went on interviews or talk shows. Now I’m more confident and at ease since I have nothing to hide.”

She continued, “We revealed it in order to show people that we were in a healthy and happy relationship. I’m understanding of the attention it’s received and try to be honest to the best of my ability, but I do get upset when the media exaggerates what I say about him and emphasizes only the bad things.”

To conclude, Park Han Byul added, “For example, someone will probably take what I said here and write an article titled, ‘She tried to show the happy sides, but…’ I’m honestly very happy, and I don’t want our relationship to be reflected in a way that tries to prove I’m tired of it.”

The ‘Milky Couple’ lives on – more IU and Wooyoung cuteness!

2PM’s Wooyoung recently surprised IU by pretending to be a fan of hers on the phone!

When IU guested on the radio program, “Lee Soo Young’s Music Show“, she took a call from a very avid ‘fan’. Wooyoung pretended to be a boy from Busan who idolizes IU; consequently, when he first ‘learned’ that he was talking to IU, he kept saying, “Am I talking with IU? Is this really IU???”


Wooyoung pulled out his acting skills to make his voice sound really shocked and nervous. When Lee Soo Young asked the fan why he liked IU, he replied “There’s no specific reason“. He said that all of his friends liked her, and loved seeing her on “Dream High“. Hilariously, he also told her not to talk to ‘Jason’ anymore because he’s “a bad person“.

The fan revealed himself to be an ‘aspiring singer from Busan’, and he wanted to sing a song for IU. He belted out the chorus from 2PM’s “Again & Again“, as IU listened on with amazement. Lee Soo Young was quick to pick up Wooyoung’s voice, and scolded, “Wooyoung, please stop!”, but IU remained clueless, even commenting that he sounded like either Wooyoung or Junsu.

When Wooyoung finally admitted his identity, IU was shocked and couldn’t hold back her laughter. Afterwards, she grabbed a sheet of paper to fan her face, and said that she couldn’t believe it was really Wooyoung. The two asked each other why they both haven’t been keeping in touch, and Wooyoung revealed that he was busy promoting in Japan.

Near the end, he commented that he listens to IU every night before he goes to sleep and requested IU’s song, “Slowly Slowly“.

With the American actor Charlie Sheen’s recent drug scandal dominating headlines and swallowing up tabloids as of late, it was only a matter of time until the controversial celebrity figure got a rap song dedicated to his highly publicized downfall.

Three of the hottest Asian American rappers of today, Dumfoundead, Traphik (aka Timothy DeLaGhetto) and Jin got together and collaborated on the epic (and aptly titled) track, Charlie Sheen.

The music video was directed by Kevin Boston; check it out below!



Although recently crowned as American television’s highest paid actor with a payroll exceeding $2 million per episode on Two and a Half Men, Sheen’s escalating drug and personal problems got himself sacked from the show earlier this month. Since his downfall, the celebrity has given a number of bizarre and controversial interviews and also opened a Twitter account (accumulating over one million followers in just over twenty four hours, breaking the world record).

Behind the scenes:


Produced by Tatsuro Mille for GlobalCityMusic, Charlie Sheen will be released on iTunes starting next week.
