tower the old, to the very old mochi pounding tools to the pop idols filming a scene.

Mochi is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain
japonica glutinous rice. The rice is pounded into paste and molded into the
desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called

Japanese New Year and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.

An idol depends on how he or she got into the entertainment
business and whether he or she is promoted as being an idol. Some entertainment
companies and music projects specialize in idols, and they automatically market
everyone they sign as an idol.

usually in the genre that is most popular at the moment, but since a lot of idols
sing cute sentimental songs.
