Kill Bill Actress Sings Gundam Unicorn Tune

Actress/model Chiaki Kuriyama will sing a ditty for the upcoming Gundam Unicorn release.


Tokyograph reports that Chiaki Kuriyama, the Japanese model and actress you probably know best as Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill, Volume I and as Takako Chigusa in Battle Royale, is singing a theme song for Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. The tune is called "Ryusei no Namida," and the single is due on on February 24th-- including a special Gundam limited edition version.

(Those of you who were paying close attention to John's and my review of the movie Battle League Horumo, you may recognize her as the female lead there as well.)

This is the actress' singing debut, and you can tell she's serious about it because she's changed the romaji spelling of her name to CHiAKi KURiYAMA!

Okay, I'm kidding, I'm sure she's a perfectly fine singer. This'll be fun!

Oh Gogo

She was cuter in Horumo though. Hopefully she can sing!

Surely we think of her more as the crazy bitch from Battle Royale before Kill Bill?

@Zeouterlimits: Haha, I couldn't remember which character she was in Battle Royale. Besides, Kill Bill gets more search engine hits! Or something.
