Sorry, but she can't sing OR draw....I just like her dancing and think she's unique looking (when ghetto'ed up or not).

she's gotta have SOME kinda other talent to be in a famous band, and it ca't be all just from dancing, and a little above avg looks. i'm not insinuating anything either. lets see: can't sing, can't draw/paint, can't act...I think her talent is in just dancing coreographed moves, and not rocking the boat.
BTW, here is an example of her work:

As for the "uchi ha --- nantoka, nantoka . . . " thing, yeah, that's true, but I was thinking of times when I would hear my Jr high students say stuff like "Mami ha na, --- nantoka, nantoka . . ." where they would be using their name, not uchi. But I don't remember hearing adults doing this, so it might be a jr. high/ adolescent thingy. Whenever I used my name refering to myself in the third person I would always get a"kimochi warui" or similar remark.

sorry for the late response. but actually, i hear it all the time. maybe it's different for the okinawans here in the states. when ever they talk with other uchinanchu, it's 'uchi ha......', whereas when they talk to the mainlanders, it's "atashi ha......". just some minor observations.
