Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō?, "Eastern Capital") [toːkʲoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to?), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area of the world. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi?).
The Tokyo Metropolitan government administers the 23 special wards of Tokyo (each governed as a city), which cover the area that was the city of Tokyo, as well as 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains. The population of the special wards is over 8 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 35 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy with a GDP of US$1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity in 2008, ahead of New York City metropolitan area, which ranks second on the list. The city hosts 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest amount of any city.
Shu Uemura (植村 秀, Uemura Shū?, June 19, 1928 – December 29, 2007) was a Japanese make-up artist and founder of the Shu Uemura international cosmetics line which bears his name.
A native of Tokyo, Shu Uemura reportedly first became interested in hairstyling and make up as a teenager while recovering from a severe illness which left him bedridden. He enrolled at the Tokyo Beauty Academy, becoming the only male student in a class of 130 pupils.
His first experience in film make-up occurred during the filming of 1957's Joe Butterfly, which was partially shot in Japan. Uemura left Japan in the late 1950s to try to break into the film and television make-up business.
Uemura's big break came on the set of the 1962 film, My Geisha. The film's regular make up artist fell ill and Uemura, who was working as a Hollywood beautician at the time, was called in to fill in for the sick artist. Uemura gained critical acclaim for transforming actress Shirley MacLaine, a Caucasian, into a Japanese woman. He received praise from both My Geisha's filmmakers and its cast, including MacLaine. He soon became one of Hollywood's favorite artists. He began working with well known Hollywood personalities, usually as a make-up artist apprentice, including Edward G. Robinson, Frank Sinatra, and Lucille Ball. Among his notable early work was on Frank Sinatra's 1965 film, None But the Brave.
Well, look at me
Got me in her sights
Is this a blessing in disguise?
Fatality on a Saturday night
Right between the eyes
Well honey, I know you never satisfied
Just a paradise on a roll
Come to take the fat chance this ain't suicide
Sit back and let it all unfold, you better
Shoot it, shoot it
Come on baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, shoot it
Girl you got to do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, shoot it
Beggars can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's good for me
How's your love life, how's your sister, ooh, I can't resist
Is this the one that get away?
Well, I can tell ya my friend
That it's all how much you spend, baby
Not how much you make
You say you don't wanna dance, honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth and hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night that you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock 'n' roll, you better
Shoot it, shoot it
Come on baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Maybe they are talkin' about me, baby
Shoot it, shoot it
Beggars can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, it's good for me
Dressed to the nines
Don't cry wolf too many times, baby
But you can trust in me
Want some good clean fun?
Well, I heard you play with guns
And I see you got a vacancy
You say you don't wanna dance honey listen to me
Shut yo' mouth and hit the floor
And you can tell 'em last night that you was blind to see
And blame it all on rock 'n' roll
Shoot it, shoot it
Come on baby put your best shot on me
Shoot it, shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
Shoot it, shoot it
Beggars can't be choosers in a den of thieves
Is it good for you, 'cause it's great for me
You pull yo' gun, you better
Shoot it, shoot it
Come on baby put your best shot on me
Set 'em up, shoot 'em down
Shoot it, shoot it
Girl you gotta do it for a friend in need
A friend in need, I love ya honey
Shoot it, shoot it
Beggars can't be choosers in a den of thieves
