A Pop Star Who Speaks Japanese?

I know only a few Japanese blood who made it to American pop music scene. However, I didn't know anybody who actually speaks Japanese in the business. But it's changed. The singer is Marie Digby. She was speaking Japanese perfectly on a radio show in Japan the other day. I think it is very nice. Also, the story of her success was interesting. She was so frustrated with her label not promoting her enough, so she put a video on YouTube on her own. The video became so popular, which eventually led to her success. It leaves me a question; "what she needs a contract with her label for?" All she needed was YouTube.

I also heard that her grandma lives in Kumamoto and visits her so often. Maybe, I encounter her on street some day in Kumamoto. :) Hum, I wonder if she uses Twitter...
