Many of you are wondering why there have been no released photos of Yuna Ito, the mysterious actress that will be playing the role of Reira. This is because the production company is keeping Yuna's image a secret from the public on purpose. Yuna Ito will be a new music artist into the Japanese pop music scene. By keeping her identity a secret, the curiosity generated from the public will help towards Yuna's marketing abilities into main stream entertainment. Yuna Ito is 21 years old and is from Hawaii. Her name have been associated as a background singer for stage and theater shows. This "secret" about Yuna Ito already has my attention. What about you? |
