Arashi’s Aiba Masaki meets Jack Bauer on “Arashi ni Shiyagare”

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1...shi600x360.jpg

Hollywood star Kiefer Sutherland made an appearance on Arashi’s variety show, “Arashi ni Shiyagare“, which was broadcasted on December 11th.

Aiba Masaki got to meet Mr. Jack Bauer on the “Michi tono Sougu Shiyagare” corner, in which an Arashi member gets to learn a special skill from the guest. Kiefer came on to instruct Aiba on how to achieve a godlike body like his, and told him, ”Today, I came here to try to help you out with that, we can put you through a couple training sessions if you would like.”

Hilariously, the training sessions he had in mind involved Aiba carrying Kiefer on his back and walking around with the additional weight.

Hey!Say! JUMP’s Yamada Ryosuke appears on “Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4...shimurazoo.jpg

This week’s broadcast of “Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen“, which was aired on December 11th, welcomed Yamada Ryosuke as a guest.

During the show, Yamada proclaimed his love for animals, and said that he wants to “contact” animals outside. Therefore, they showed videos of Johnny’s Entertainment seniors who have previously “contacted” with animals outdoors, in order to teach Yamada how to deal with animals.

Role Model 1: Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN) teaches “solve vigilance”.
Role Model 2: Sakurai Sho (Arashi) teaches how to “stay calm”.
Role Model 3: Inohara Yoshihiko (V6) teaches how to “contact with baby animals”.
Role Model 4: Matsumoto Jun (Arashi) teaches how to “eliminate fear toward animals”.
Role Model 5: Yamaguchi Tatsuya (TOKIO) teaches how to “make animals have interest in you”.
Role Model 6: Ohno Satoshi (Arashi) teaches how to “be patient”.

Aiba Masaki was used as a bad role model.

the epic video clip of it can be viewed on that link too

LOL poor Aiba & bless Yamada xD

according to this interview sho did for BEST ARTIST (he looks so beautiful! :heart i love his tie, lol!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0msu6gpzw8 it seems that arashi will be singing a medley.

they'll sing Believe, Happiness, and Monster. i kinda expected Monster since that was for kaibutsu-kun, but i'm a bit sad to not see Troublemaker being performed :( but it's okay! i still can't wait to see this medley, anyway. :)

i just read from amnos_nn @ twitter that aiba will be guest starring in the last episode of freeter! no surprise! :P now i wonder who will be in the last episode of Bartender, lol.

Hmm... What about Boku no Miteiru Fukei songs, To be free, Love Rainbow, Dear Snow, Hatenai Sora?

there's not such a high chance, i think, for BnMF songs to be performed because they're album tracks, not singles. majority of the time, single songs get performed on these year end shows because they recap all the singles from the year.

maybe To be free and Dear Snow will get performed eventually? :shrug since Hatenai Sora & Love Rainbow was already performed at one show already: FNS.

Aiba Masaki to guest on final episode of Ninomiya’s “Freeter, Ie wo Kau”

Arashi’s Aiba Masaki will make a guest appearance on the last episode of “Freeter, Ie wo kau“, scheduled for broadcast December 21st.

The drama stars fellow Arashi groupmate Ninomiya Kazunari, and indeed, many fans were expecting Aiba to cameo in the final episode. The pop group has carried on a tradition in which a member with an upcoming drama will guest-star on the last episode of their bandmate’s sitcom.

Aiba will play the role as the successor of ‘Manami’ (Karina) at ‘Seiji’ (Ninomiya)’s workplace. Afterwards, it will be his turn to flex his acting skills in the upcoming drama, “Bartender“!
