Hiromi Go (窶ケツス窶堙絶?堙ォ窶堙 Gō Hiromi, real name: Hiromi Haratake (ナ陳エ窶「ツ絶?乃窶敕シ Haratake Hiromi) (October 18, 1955) was born in Sue, Kasuya, Fukuoka Prefecture) and is a Japanese singer, part of Sony Music Japan. He also effectively became the Japanese answer to Ricky Martin after his Japanese version of "Livin' la Vida Loca", which was called "GOLDFINGER '99". In 2008, he collaborated with rapper Dohzi-T in a song "Kimi dake o".
In the 1970s, he was called "new big three" (ツ新ナ津、ナスO窶ーテ shin gosanke) with Goro Noguchi and Hideki Saijo.
His stage name's initials are HG, and that, combined with his remake of Ricky Martin's "Livin la Vida Loca" made him a direct target of comedian Hard Gay, who arranged to be his attendant for the day of a rehearsal for a concert in Nagoya. A promotional video was created by Hard Gay, which consisted of his antics on the show. Instead of getting angry at the comedian, Go took it with stride and even played along with the tricks, which included whipping the leather-clad man and dancing with him on stage. He allowed Hard Gay to give one audience member of the variety television show Bakushō Mondai no Bakuten! a copy of the promotional video.
Hiromo Go appeared in the movie Samurai Cowboy which was released in 1993.
BeForU

For example, Love Love Shine and Love Love Sugar are no longer found in DDR, and all BeForU songs have been cut from beatmaniaIIDX 16 EMPRESS and GuitarFreaks/Drummania V6 Blazing, to be released later this year, respectively, due to the change of the labeling company.
BONNIE PINK

She lived in New York during 1998 and speaks English (many of her songs are entirely in English). She writes and composes all her songs, and plays guitar and piano. Kaori Asada has said that the name Bonnie Pink is random and that she thought the words were cute together. There is no special meaning behind the name, she chose it because it was easy to remember.[1]
Bonnie Pink was quite famous in her early years during the 90s and the early 2000s, but she slowly drifted out of popularity. However, in 2006 her hit single "A Perfect Sky" went to the top of the charts and brought her back into the J-Pop spotlight and her latest albums have become very popular and major successes for the 35-year-old singer.
