KARA HARA ,AKB48’s Ohshima Yuko loves A Bathing Ape

KARA,AKB48 member,Goo Hara, Ohshima Yuko professed that she’s a huge fan of clothing brand, A BATHING APE. Yuko recently wrote on her blog, “I’m a APE girl today, both my T-shirt and hoodie.  A lot of Milo-san’s (the character of BAPE). I am now relaxing at home after the shoot.”
The brand is internationally renown for its original graphics and designs; in fact, it hardly seems like your street fashion collection isn’t complete without a BAPE shirt these days.
It’s likely that Yuko’s fans will rush to grab BAPE pieces after reading the blog entry.

KARA will be hosting “Sakigake! Ongaku Banzuke”

The members of KARA have been chosen as fixed MCs for a Japanese music program.
According to Fuji TV, KARA will be appearing on their talk show music program, “Sakigake! Ongaku Banzuke“, starting November 3rd.
Representatives of the program previously visited KARA in Korea last month in order to report on KARA’s “Jumping” album jacket photo shoot.
KARA will be the MCs for only the show’s opening and ending segments since they must promote in both Korea and Japan. A three month old rookie singer being given the MC position to a famous music program is definitely an exceptional case for both industries.
KARA will be releasing their second Japanese single, “Jumping,” on the 10th, along with a Korean mini-album on the 17th. “Girls Talk” will be released on the 24th. Their Japanese management agency is currently predicting 200,000 in album sales. KARA best Asian female Group!
