avex unveils its new recruit: Yuka Kagiyama

[Benihime]

Yuka Kagiyama is sexy, athletic and has a gift for singing. That is what the record company is asserting on the singer's official site. Announced as a rock singer, she will make her debut on June 24th with her debut single Love Player.

She is barely out of avex's auditions, but avex is already placing big hopes in her and uses a commercial strategy that only Max Matsuura could make up. Indeed, beside the fact that avex reveals the singer's mensurations on her home page, four editions of Love Player will be out. Not mentioning a big tie-in, since the song is used as the ending song for the drama LOVE GAME, which started airing on April 23rd.

Now we have to wait and see if the Japanese welcome her. Will Yuka Kagiyama be another commercial failure, like many recent avex singers? We will have the answer at the end of June...

That sentence worried the daylights out of me. I'm a speedreader so it took me a minute to realize that wasn't the word I thought it was...

She sorta looks like a Japanese version of Tila Tequila

i kind of agree. lots of new singers have been having trouble making it big these days, it seems... avex included. :S wonder how she's going to do...

i disagree with the fact she look like tila tequila, but lets just hope when we get to hear her voice, she's more promising than expected
