Delta's yen for a hit

By Anna c**k in Japan

July 14, 2006

 

SHE might not have cracked the US yet but Delta Goodrem is on track to being the next big thing in Japan.

 

The Aussie singer launched a charm offensive in Tokyo this week, wowing an exclusive audience of media and entertainment heavy hitters at a showcase performance.

Donning a white Grecian-style Chanel gown, the 21-year-old peppered her act at Ebisu Garden Hall on Wednesday night with the few Japanese words she has learned during her first trip to the nation that boasts the world's second-biggest music market.

 

In addition to introducing the 200-strong audience to the hits that helped make her Australia's No.1 solo female artist, Goodrem debuted a track that she has penned for a Japanese film due for release later this year.

Yen for success ... Delta with Japanese starlet Matsu$h!ta Nao

 

The song Flawed will feature on the soundtrack to Adiantum Blue, a romance starring Japanese actress Matsu$h!ta Nao, who was on hand to deliver Goodrem a bouquet of flowers after her five-song set.

 

Nao's character fights cancer in the film and Goodrem, who won her own battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2004, said she was inspired by the script when it was sent to her earlier this year.

 

"It's about love and life and a lot of people can relate to it in their own way," she said.

 

While Goodrem proved a hit with the music industry crowd,

 

the true test of her local appeal comes in October when her debut Japanese album, a hybrid of Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity, is released.

 

She is planning two more promotional trips to Japan, and to coincide with her album release she is set to visit not only Tokyo, but Osaka and Nagoya also.

 

Then it's back to Japan during November to strut the red carpet at the premiere of Adiantum Blue.
