it's funny because I thought Takaki might be the 1 to shine a lot outta all the 10 , with him acting in Gokusen & let alone in the movie

but I suppose someone like Yamada would rather be that person that Johnny-san will spend more time to mould him more because I wouldn't lie that he has a lot of potential to strike out on his own in the future

he has the looks , the moves & really does know how to put up a show , especially with his solo dance moves & songs in Shounen Club :O

i agree about yamada! he obviously does deserve the spotlight, but as much as i like seeing him, i kinda hope JE won't get too carried away and push him in our face or something, lol. because all of HSJ are really talented! but yet i hardly see them get drama work. :( matsujun, yamapi, kame, nino, etc... got much more drama roles when they were around HSJ's age. so i dunno why they won't make them as the next generation of johnny actors.

it's not easy when you have 10 people in a group X_X so naturally it will be tough to stand out from the masses

I just hope I wouldn't have to wait so long for another new HSJ single to be out as it wasn't funny to wait for close to a year for them to release Hitomi no Screen X_X

i seriously hope that will never happen again! i'd like a new single in april or may, maybe. after NYC. i still love arigatou sekai demo ni itemo, though! :cool

yeah just close down NYC after Yume Tamago hatched (xD) because if that's the case , NYC might as well be counted as a permanent group now instead of being temporary :x

I think the next move that will surprise me if NYC were to release a mini album if not a full length album :tired

LOL i still crack up at that hatch joke, karen! :roflmao

NYC has 3 singles, 2 if you don't count yuuki 100% since it's a cover. so i think if they were to have an album, it might as well be a full album. let HSJ get a mini album or something, lol.

I won't be surprised if NYC releases an album..................

I'm not sure about this, but apparently SKE48 is also releasing a single on the same day as NYC, and they're called Banzai Venus; I'm not sure if NYC could go number one, because now NYC and SKE48 are going to be quite some stiff competition here...

Hey! Say! JUMP's Keito Okamoto cast in final "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei" episode

Last month, it was announced that the popular drama series "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei" will be ending this March with a special episode. The full cast has not yet been announced, but it was revealed on Friday that Hey! Say! JUMP member Keito Okamoto (17) will be playing one of the main students, a troublemaker named Kageura.

Many other members of Johnny's Jimusho have played students in "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei" over the years, including Masahiko Kondo (46) and Kazuya Kamenashi (24). In fact, Okamoto's own father, Kenichi Okamoto (41), also played a student in one of the series' special episodes in December 1985. This makes them the first father-son pair to both appear on the show, though actress Kaori Tsuchiya (46) and actor Shunta Fukawa (18) were the first parent and child to do so.

It has been reported Keito Okamoto spoke confidently about his acting debut role.

“I feel very grateful to have been chosen to star in this prestigious show,” he said.

It has also been revealed that Keito had not relied on his father’s name, and had beaten his competition through the show’s audition process.

“This is a show that generations of my seniors have been in. I want to give it everything I’ve got to overcome that pressure,” he said.

The "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei Final" (tentative title) will be aired on TBS at the end of March.

wow, that's cool! i'm glad keito gets a drama role, even if it's for just one episode. :P if only more HSJ members had more drama roles! :(

I am looking forward to this! Keito's my favorite member. :P
