Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura molested interpreter, Hong Kong court hears
Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura molested a female interpreter and made unwelcome advances after a fan event in Hong Kong earlier this year, a court has heard. Kamimura, a former member of Japanese boy band ONE N' ONLY, returned to West Kowloon Court on Wednesday to stand trial for a count of indecent assault arising from an alleged incident at Ming Kee Restaurant in Mong Kok in the early hours of March 2. The courtroom was packed on Wednesday, with the 316 tickets set aside for public seating all distributed. Most of the public attendees were from mainland China and arrived with luggage and bulky-looking backpacks. Some of them were told off by security staff for trying to make instant noodles during court adjournments. The complainant, who testified for the prosecution through a live video link, said she had provided interpretation for Kamimura and 20-year-old Japanese actor Junsei Motojima during a fan meeting at Regala Skycity Hotel the previous day. The court heard the two celebrities and their assistants had gone to the restaurant to celebrate the event's success. The interpreter said Kamimura repeatedly made swiping and tapping motions to touch her left thigh after joining her table of nine people.

How Seoul's All That Jazz, the first jazz bar in South Korea, is still setting the tempo
For a lonely traveller in search of a lively night in a foreign city, Smalls Jazz Club might be the spot in New York. In Tokyo, there's Blue Note Tokyo. And in Seoul, it's All That Jazz, which has set the tempo for the city's jazz scene since 1976. Tucked away in Itaewon – perhaps Seoul's most international neighbourhood – Korea's first jazz bar, with its signature blackwood interior, has long served as a haven for music lovers and performers alike. Jin Nak-won, who has run the club for nearly 40 years, says that his addiction to jazz all started with the Dave Brubeck Quartet's 'Take Five'. 'That saxophone drove me crazy,' says Jin, 68, a nostalgic smile spreading across his face. 'I was in fourth grade, and music was always playing in my cousin's house, usually from an old record player in the master bedroom. One day, I happened to hear the song – it was just unbelievably good. I loved it so much that I played it on repeat all day until their family came home.' Jin did not even know what the song was at the time. It was not until a few years later, while listening to a compilation album, that he realised it was 'Take Five' from the Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out album. That was when it clicked: the tune that had captivated him years earlier was jazz.
