Erika in Oricon Style First the pictures:    Now to the not so nice things. The “revival of the cold and blunt Erika” or similar are theheadlines at “Rakuten” and other news pages. What are they talkingabout? They are talking about the interview in the “Oricon Style” (issue 12/10, released: 11/30) magazine (pictures above). Hydetetsu already wrote about the press event of Kanebo’s newcosmetic brand “COFFRET D’OR” and that Erika has been pretty cold therealready. However, she still kept a smile on her face and talked aboutthings like her shopping habits. All in all it was still a somewhatnormal interview back then. Now Oricon Style published a very long 9pages special about ERIKAthis month. First everything seems to be nice. You have the nicepictures and a still normal interview during the first pages. Whenasked about ‘Led Zeppelin’, Erika answers “Of course I will go. To seeZeppelin is err…..unbelievable!,” still in a very nice mood. The magazine then comes to a corner where fans are able to askartists, Erika a questions. This is when the bad thing begins. For 11of about 24 fan-questions, Erika only answers in very cold way, ofteneven with one word only. A few examples: “What kind of (casual) clothes do you usually wear privately?” Erika: “Rough.” [”Raff” .. She means “rough” clothes/fabric..obviously.] “Do you treasure something (a personal item)?” Erika: “I don’t.” [”Nai.”] “When do you have the most fun?” [or: “What’s the most fun thing you do?”] Erika: “Bed time.” [”…and I enjoy to work”, she adds later.] You could say that it was still okay, but now it’s getting worse.. “Erika is really beautiful, but has she already been popular during Junior High School?” Erika: “No.” [”Iie.” is her relatively short answer compared to the pretty nice question.] “Is there a message in your songs.” [or: “Is there a message for the people who listen to your songs?”] Erika: “Not really. You can feel whatever you want to feel.” [She really says that it is up to you about what you feel during her songs or better said, “as it pleases you”.] Erika should really think about what she is saying. Such feelingstowards your own music and towards your own fans can easily bedescribed as ‘exploiting’. (not my words, but it kinda is true) Sources: Rakuten-Woman (Infoseek) and Oricon Style Written by HPriest Please credit back when you are going to use this text or an edited version of this text somewhere else.
