Wakatsuki closes blog, career still unclear

[Tokyograph News]

On Monday, talento Chinatsu Wakatsuki announced that she is ending her blog, which has been among the most popular celebrity blogs of this year.

She emphasized that she is not retiring, and that she will remain involved with show business in some way. At the moment, she no longer has any regular television appearances but has apparently renewed contracts for commercials.

However, the direction of her career is still a mystery. On December 27, Wakatsuki's agency announced that she would be going overseas to study and develop her skills. It was said to be a statement directly from her, but the next day she denied it in her blog, claiming that she had no memory of such a comment.

Wakatsuki's blog had been #1 in the Ameblo rankings almost the entire time since it opened in January. Ameblo placed the blog in a "hall of fame" in November.
