Can Cam Scorecard for June 2007
 | CanCam Stats for June 2007 Pages: 556 |
Commentary: With the departure of Oshikiri Moe to AneCan, Ebi-chan and Yamada Yu have had to up their pace to cover the court as a tag-team. That being said, Yamada's performance can be said to be marginal at best - winning only 29 points against the powerhouse Ebihara at 164. Shooting that many distinct pictures for a monthly magazine qualifies as first-tier modeling hustle. Bench-warmers Maki and Naoko also seem to be getting quite a lot of face time. The two girls are making themselves out to be the new star players, ready for their rightful place on the starting team. Rookie Mine Erika also makes some big plays towards the end of the game.
Methodology: (1) Obvious advertisements were not counted in the total, but advertorial using the magazine's models were. (2) Tiny pictures and pictures of women solely holding objects were not counted. (3) Multiple pictures of a specific ensemble were not counted, meaning that the magazine featured almost 842 different ensembles.

Yu as a bench warmer?
Yamada Yu has more appeal to "ordinary"people.
She is busy being star in the movies,and doing cosmetic commercials.That explains her limited appearance in CanCan.
To me,Ebi-chan and Moe are freaks only appealing
the limited residents in the realm of CC.

and don't forget she is releasing singles, whereas i 'd hate to hear ebi-chan sing.

No, no, Yu is not a benchwarmer. Maki and Naoko are the benchwarmers.
"Yamada Yu has more appeal to "ordinary"people."
I think this is why she doesn't fit the CanCam model, because she is "sexy" and clearly out of reach to imitate. Moe is down-to-earth.
"To me,Ebi-chan and Moe are freaks only appealing

Limited as in 800,000+ girls. That's more readers than most of the Shukanshi if I am not mistaken.

Does Ebi-Chan actually sing?
The CD would be great pop icon of the '00s,just like Rubic Cube in the 80's and Julliana feather fans in the 90's.

Ebi-Chan does not sing as far as I know.

"Ebi-Chan does not sing as far as I know."
No, but as poet Afua Cooper might say, she dance,
"she dance down lightning and thunder
she dance down brimstone and fire
she is a mighty earthquake
she is a non-stop hurricane
she dance
and
dance
and dance and dance
she dance down lightning and thunder
she dance down brimstone and fire, fire
she is a mighty whirlwin
she is a non-stop volcano, ooh
She dance her dance of terror
she dance her dance of fear
look she dancing on the four winds
dancing the world's end, ooh"

sounds like someone has a crush.

you're gonna get me beat up marxy. Unthinking, I started talking about handbags around a bunch of my gaijin friends... and I'm now forced to same something crude about female anatomy at regular intervals to prove myself.

Great job girls, let's hit the showers.

I think I gotcha covered Nate.

"sounds like someone has a crush."
No, I just wanted an opportunity to use the expression "she dance," which for reasons beyond my ken (other than the nutty subject-verb dissonance), I find comical.
Something about juxtaposing that poem with the cotton-candy image of Ebi-Chan had me giggling in the office.
This is probably one of those things better left unexplained, as I'm starting to feel awkward.

duffy, have you ever heard the SION cover of leonard cohen's "dance me to the end of love"? your post sparked a sound image of that, incongruously juxtaposed against the genki OL-chic of ebichan, had me in personal stitches.

That's some nappy-headed hos right there.

Just my ocd getting to me here, but please correct the June 2006 to be June 2007. I refuse to belive you are wasting your time looking at ensembles from last years trends.

I need at least 9 months to get used to the new year.

"duffy, have you ever heard the SION cover of leonard cohen's "dance me to the end of love"?"
Wow, no I haven't. But I did read somewhere that Ebi-Chan had those words tattooed in henna on her bicep when she visited Goa last September -- or did I dream that?
Posted by: Duffy at April 25, 2007 2:07 PM
I don't think Ebi-chan has the time to go to Goa let alone Gotanda unless it's work related.
