"Team Aomori", also known as "Crystal Japan", are going to represent Japan’s women’s curling at the Vancouver Olympics. Before the actual start of the event, they’ve already received 1 medal. However, it’s neither gold, silver nor copper — it’s chocolate!
Nagasawa Masami (22) and Eikura Nana (21) did it again and sent a chocolate heart to the Japanese athletes who are currently in Vancouver. This time it’s the women’s curling team from Aomori with the nickname "Crystal Japan" that can be happy about some extra chocolate before the Olympics. "I really would like to go to Vancouver myself to cheer them on, but unfortunately I have work to do in Japan. However, I’m still going to cheer you on from Japan in front of the TV." Nagasawa said at the small PR-event.
Crystal Japan’s Motohashi Mari (23) is happy about the chocolate gift. "We will try to give our best with choco-power! Each and every match will be a very important fight for us, but we will work hard so that we can participate in the closing ceremony with a smile on our faces."

I wonder how long this Ghana PR’s will continue:P
anyways somehow this mini events are good for the publicity of the two
nagasawa in crisis and nana’s drama is not doing so well so these events might help
it’s already been seen on the recent rankings that this choco CM’s helps:D
Both are still popular. And I think Masami is kinda out of her crisis again.
But, no matter, I will love to accept all chocolate and prents from them if noone else is interested anymore XD
You think she’s out of her crisis, Freefall? I’d really like to think so, but I don’t really see any evidence in that sea of chocolate CMs…
Maybe not completely out of the crisis but no more bad media on her and Magare Spoon did much better than Cobalt Blue, I think.
Yeah, the negative exposure in the media has stopped, that’s right. At least as far as we can tell, not being in Japan.
One thing I’d like to know is how Magare actually did at the box-office.
I´n not sure about magare, too. But I think it did not that bad. I want to watch it, too. But haven´t seen any download or subs around yet
Not popular enough online, I guess. I’m still hoping for the official DVD release to have English subtitles…
I think it will not be distributed on any websites until it’s DVD reLease…and speaking of the DVD release it’s scheduled to be released on may 15, 2010 still few months.
