IMALU is Sanma's daughter.

A few months ago, I bought a magazine called Zipper and I cut out a picture of one of their models because her face and hair reminded me of my friend Angie. Yesterday, my friend called me to tell me to turn on the TV because there was a TV special about a Japanese girl who grew up in Canada and returned to Japan to become a pop star.

I turned on the TV, and there was the girl whose picture I liked in the magazine a few months ago. Her name as a pop star is IMALU. I started watching the TV program because she went to high school in Victoria, a small Canadian island that I also lived on for a few years.

Then, I discovered her father is probably my current favorite Japanese celebrity, Sanma Akashiya. I just wrote about him two posts ago. IMALU's mother (Shinobu Otake) is also a famous actress.

Anyway, here's IMALU's blog.
I wish her good luck!

IMALU is on TV right now singing a cover of a Jackson 5 song :)

By the way, Victoria is a city on a large Canadian island. It definitely isn't small. I used to live in Victoria, too.
