One of the performers I have seen in Countdown Japan 06/07 was Salyu.
Salyu became famous when she portrayed the role of Lily Chou Chou in the very successful and acclaimed movie: “All about Lily Chou Chou” by Shunji Iwai.
She went on stage wearing a very funny and festive dress which the audience loved. When she started singing I was captivated.
She opened with a single from her new album “Terminal” to be released 2007.01.17. The song is “Tobira” and you can watch the PV on youtube:
