Koichi Domoto's "Endless SHOCK" aims for U.S.

KinKi Kids member Koichi Domoto (31) has been performing his musical "SHOCK" (currently titled "Endless SHOCK") since 2000. On Saturday, after the musical's 751st performance, it was announced by Johnny's Jimusho president Johnny Kitagawa that there are plans to bring the production to the United States by as early as 2012.

Saturday marked the final performance of "Endless SHOCK" for this year. 2010 was a milestone for the musical, as an anniversary year and as the first year that it was performed 100 times.

The central story of "SHOCK" is about a small, unknown group of actors in New York who get a chance to produce a big show for a Broadway theater. Because of its story and its long-running success so far, Kitagawa feels that American audiences can also enjoy the musical. Currently, he is aiming to have it performed in major entertainment cities such as New York and Las Vegas, though more specific planning will be done later this year.

The United States will not be the only new location for the musical. Up until now, all of the performances have been held at the Imperial Garden Theater in Tokyo, but in 2012, Kitagawa plans to do shows in other major cities in Japan, including Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Fukuoka. The U.S. performances, if they happen, would be in addition to those new venues.

It was also announced on Saturday that Domoto will release a new solo album titled "BPM" on September 1, his first in four years. Starting on September 11, he will launch a solo tour consisting of 25 concerts at 9 venues.

eee lucky people living in US ~_~ but YAY for a new solo album :D

What's BPM means man seriously o_O

sorry to be random, but i was reading the article at arama on how nakai hurt his back. and is he really 37 years old?! :thud he looks so young! like early 30s, lol. only the JE guys never seem to age? :roflmao

er yeah Nakai's 37 years & I think he will be 38 this coming month in Aug ? :O

he doesn't look like someone to me who has back problems though D:

links are already up on CDJapan in line with preorder for Koichi's new 2nd solo album BPM

｢SOLITARY｣ at Endless SHOCK 2010

LOL 4 mins as compared to 90 mins , go figure ~_~ xD

anyway I'm excited for this , I'm quite sure covers will be out soon :yes

I assume that Koichi will be composing the whole album , just like what he did for mirror :)

wow, "mirror" was released in 2006? man, i remember DLing that album when it came out. :irked LOL. i'm ultra excited. i love DoKo's solo stuff. :heart

here's some translations (because i'm bored, lol)! :)
03. 妖 ～あやかし～;; Ayakashi;; Suspicious
04. 暁;; Akatsuki;; Daybreak/Dawn
==
07 僕は思う;; Boku wa Omou;; I think
10 愛の十字架 ～Promise 2U～;; Ai no Juujika～Promise 2U～;; Love Cross～Promise 2U～
11 月夜ノ物語;; Tsukiyo no Monogatari;; Moonlit Night Story
12 下弦の月;; Kagen no Tsuki;; Waning Moon

yeah Koichi's solos rock big time ! & I'm sorry to say this but I find Tsuyoshi's solo material way too experimental if not scary for my liking X_X X_X

I will not be surprised if Koichi will compose the whole BPM album as I really like his compositions :D

Ah I don't have any recollections of Boku wa Omou from the DVD track/setlist D: , is it a song from his ENDLESS SHOCK butai ?

Because I'm able to know/identify the other 3 songs that're stated

SMAP to hold live concerts in Shanghai

SMAP announced that they will be holding live concerts in Shanghai on October 9th and 10th at the Shanghai Stadium, which is the 2nd biggest stadium in China. The announcement was made during their nation tour at Sapporo Dome on August 1st.

SMAP was going to hold their first live concert in a foreign country on June 13th at the Shanghai Expo, but it was unfortunately canceled. So, this will be the first time for SMAP to hold a live concert in a foreign country and it is expected to pull in a crowd of 80,000 fans.

SMAP members are all excited about it, especially after they canceled the previous concert in Shanghai.

good good good

^ "SOLITARY" is from ENDLESS SHOCK. i don't know if "Boku wa Omou" is...i haven't followed that much into ENDLESS SHOCK to know, lol. but i ♥ "Why don't you dance with me", haha. probably because it samples Britney Spears. :P

but i found "SOLITARY" on YouTube. sounds so DoKo! :heart

Haiz I was hoping for a kk album... Dont know why but I prefer them singing together - their solo albums seem to lack something.... guess I shall give this album a miss

ll moments ll:can see that you like inception... and is that harry potter?

I like Koichi's solo works so I frankly can see myself getting BPM next month when the Taiwan press's out , since mirror is really amazing/wonderful

I tried to like Tsuyoshi's works but ugh it's too & way experimental for my liking & that kinda scared me D:

I did tried to listen to their latest J album but it's quite if not too mellow for my liking & I don't think I will have the time to listen to their past 10 albums D: D: D:

SMAP to invite 50 fans backstage

On September 15, SMAP will begin a series of concerts at the Tokyo Dome, part of a larger nationwide dome tour. With this tour, their total concert attendance over the years is expected to surpass 10 million, so the group is planning a special bonus for that first Tokyo Dome concert.

Via a lottery system, SMAP will select 50 lucky fans to be backstage at the concert. In addition, they will have the opportunity to meet the members before the show. SMAP's record label, Victor Entertainment, has also agreed to cover transportation, lodging, and the ticket cost for the chosen fans.

The project was revealed on Wednesday, the same day that SMAP's new single "This is love" went on sale. The limited edition of the single comes with a serial number that will be entered into the lottery, and the chosen numbers will be announced on the August 16 broadcast of "SMAP x SMAP." Victor Entertainment has launched a special website for the promotion.
