Sakurai Sho to star in new drama “Kazoku Game”

Quote:

Arashi member Sakurai Sho will be starring in the upcoming Fuji TV drama “Kazoku Game.”

“Kazoku Game” is based on Honma Yohei’s award-winning novel of the same name, and it has been adapted into live-action movies several times with one starring late actor Matsuda Yusaku, and two special dramas starring Kaga Takeshi as well as two drama series starring Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi.

The movie adaptation especially, which was directed by late film director Morita Yoshimitsu, received several awards.

The story revolves around an eccentric home tutor named “Yoshimoto” (played by Sakurai), who is hired to teach the second son of the Numata family. While being tossed around by the weird and unconventional home tutor, the remedial student and his family gradually start changing. Though the previous movie/dramas featured a fiercely competitive high school entrance examinations as its main theme, the 2013 version will also feature some modern problems like bullying and school refusal.

Apparently, Sakurai has had a home tutor in his actual life when he was in junior high school and high school. He stated, “I hope to reflect on my memories from those days [into] the drama, and I want to make it a drama that gives you a tinglly feeling when watching it with your family.” Regarding his “bizarre” role, he said, “I’m already excited that I will be able to show a new side of me.”

“Kazoku Game” will begin airing on Fuji TV (every Wednesday at 10:00 pm) starting in April.

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari to host own variety program

Quote:

Popular group Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari will have his own variety program titled “Nino-san” starting in April on NTV. This will mark his first time serving as the sole MC.

The program is said to be a “matching trial program” in which 5 different directors from NTV will come up with a new plan every week, and they will find out which director would be the best-suited to work with Ninomiya. There will be a total of 10 episodes, and they will pick the best attempt among those episodes. Then, the chosen episode will become a regular program, which will start airing sometime after this fall.

The highlight of the program will be what kind of new charm Ninomiya would show, and which director could enhance Ninomiya’s charm the most.

The 5 directors include Uetoshi Ryuta (“Arashi ni Shiyagare“), Uchida Hidemi (“Sekai no Hate made Itte Q!“), Nasu Taisuke (“Guruguru Ninety-nine“), Hashimoto Kazuaki (“Hiru Nandesu!“), and Miyamori Hiroki (“Star☆Draft Kaigi“).

Ninomiya commented, “So this is the first time I will be the sole MC. I am very happy honestly! Everything will be a new experience for me, but I will try my best so that I won’t be the one who fails the tryout.”

According to the producer, “I’ve always felt Ninomiya-san’s high response capability, and I wanted to see him serving as MC by himself. I hope it can show the viewers a new side of Ninomiya-san, which he does not even notice himself.”

“Nino-san” will be aired in a late-night time slot, but its broadcasting time has not yet been decided.

Beauty4123 5th March 2013 06:47 PM

the b-sides are great! :) i like both songs, so i really can't pick a favorite, lol. but if i had to choose, i think "full of love" would be my favorite b-side. it's a really nice song! but i like "オーライ!!" too because it's a fun song to listen to!

so overall, i'd say "Calling/Breathless" is an absolutely amazing 40th single! both a-sides are amazing & the b-sides are great, too. :)

Matsumoto Jun & Ueno Juri wrap up filming for ‘Hidamari no Kanojo’

Quote:

On the morning of March 5, Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun (29) and actress Ueno Juri (26) wrapped up filming for their first co-starring film “Hidamari no Kanojo” (directed by Miki Takahiro). The pair play the role of lovers in the film. Filming began on January 18 of this year and after filming together for approximately 1.5 months, they were filled with emotions as filming wrapped up and expressed their desire to co-star with each other again soon.

After filming ended, Matsumoto stated, “This film has led me to think that perhaps this is the last movie I’ll film in my 20’s.” Regarding Ueno, who plays as his lover in the film, Matsumoto said satisfactorily, “Her attitude towards her role is very wonderful, and it was exciting. I was comfortable with her, and she was pleasant to film with.”

Ueno shrugged her shoulders as she said, “Until now, I have not exactly filmed a love story…,” and followed with, “I learned a lot.” She also sent out a love call to Matsumoto with, “I have found many wonderful things about him. I felt that I had a lot in common with Matsumoto. As a person, he is wonderful and I think it would be great if could appear together in a film with him again regardless of the type of role.”

The film is based off of the popular romance novel of the same title by author Koshigaya Osamu. It follows the romance of Kosuke (Matsumoto) and Mao (Ueno) and their decision to marry. However, Mao is keeping one big unbelievable secret to herself… The film will open in October in Toho cinemas across Japan.

Arashi’s latest single sets new record, sells over 750,000 copies in the first week

Quote:

Arashi’s 40th single “Calling/Breathless” (released on March 6) sold 756,000 copies in the first week, and topped Oricon’s weekly ranking for the week of March 18.

This was the best first week sales for the group since their debut back in November 1999, as their previous best sales for a single was 572,000 copies with “Hatenai Sora” (released in November 2010). Their best first week sales for an album was 753,000 copies with “All the BEST! 1999-2009” (released in August 2009).

It is also the first time in 6 years and 11 months that a single from a male artist eclipsed 700,000 copies in the first week since it was last achieved by KAT-TUN with their debut single “Real Face” (sold 754,000 copies in the first week/ released in March 2006).

“Calling/Breathless” is their 29 consecutive single (and 36th single in total) to top the chart.

Aiba to Host First Solo Variety Show

Arashi's Aiba Masaki (30) will be hosting his first solo variety show 『Aiba Manabu』 (Every Sunday 18:00) on Tv Asahi starting this April. This informative program allows viewers to learn together with Aiba regarding Japan's suprisingly undiscovered knowledge such as 「Things that should be praised」 and 「Ought to know Mechanism」 etc. Aiba commented enthusiastically that "I'm full of excitement! I want to experience a lot of things and convey it to everyone without any reserve", also declaring at the same time "to graduate from Aiba-Chan".

This spring, "Aiba-Chan" will be transformed from his energetic and natural airhead character to an intellectual and mature "Learning Aiba" persona.

The program will explore the charm of Japan in comparison to foreign countries, such as certain food that are often thought to be originated from foreign countries actually first rooted from Japan etc. Aiba who is capable of taking the same view point as viewers will challenge various things with his instinctive persistent spirit while learning about Japan's unexplored food culture, economy and cultural history.

Aiba appealed "In a complimentary way, i think that this program has a very free and wide range. As I'm the one hosting, probably it wouldn't be too difficult (laughs). I will work hard to make this an enjoying and fun program together with the capable staffs!"

To be entrusted with the time slot for Sunday's evening show has also sparked Aiba's motivation. "As there is school and work the next day, in comparison there is a higher probability for the whole family to be at home during that time zone. It was that way for me when i was still a student. It would be great if the things learned from this program would come up as a hot topic the next day at schools or workplaces."

『Aiba Manabu』 is planned to start on April 21 18:00~18:30 on Tv Asahi.

Stage-greeting for 16,000 people! Ninomiya Kazunari’s 4197km nationwide tour!

Quote:

On March 28th, actor Ninomiya Kazunari and Director Otomo Keishi visited Fukuoka as their last stop in their stage greeting tour to thank all the five cities around the country where their movie “Platina Data” has been a smashing hit. Ninomiya appeared in front of 7,000 fans gathered in Hakata Station Square (Fukuoka) and sent his greeting in Hakata dialect, “Everyone in Fukuoka, you are all fashionable~”, receiving a huge cheer from the audience.

The production had promised to make this tour and visit theaters nationwide even before publishing. The cities were picked according to the number of access to QR codes in Toho Cinemas, where users had to register their cities to make them qualify. Ninomiya and Otomo have been visiting the top 5 cities that applied to this event, going from stage to stage since March 23rd first in Tokyo, followed by Sapporo, Niigata, Osaka and Fukuoka, the city who gathered the most amount of votes. They have traveled a total distance of 4197,27km across Japan.

Ninomiya has greeted a total of 16,000 fans in 18 events.

Ninomiya expressed his love for ramen, he usually has ramen with Arashi members in the dressing room whenever they are in Fukuoka. Soon after telling this he received a coupon for 100 bowls of free ramen from the cinema to which a delighted Ninomiya replied, “Aren’t they warm? Just when I was feeling like eating 100 bowls of ramen”.

Since screened in March 16th, “Platina Data” has been watched by 1.1million people and has grossed a total of 1.3 billion yen up until now.
http://www.jenewsdaily.com/2013/03/3...tionwide-tour/

Ok that's it , I'm so going to watch Platina Data when it opens in cinemas here in a few months's time & judging from what my friends have said about the movie as they've already seen it in cinemas , they all give it the thumbs up

And it's also an excuse for me to hear Breathless on the silver screen too haha

Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya Thanks Fans For The Success of New Movie

Quote:

Kazunari Ninomiya stopped by 5 cities in 3 days to thank fans for the success of his latest movie "Platina Data".

Since the start of its screening on March 16, the movie has recorded to have more than 1.1m cinema visits and total takings of above JPY 1.35bn, making it a huge success. The singer/actor did not mind traveling 4, 200 km to thank his supporters for the great accomplishment of the Sci-Fi movie.

Basing on the bar code downloading contest where fans have to download the codes at 309 cinemas nationwide, the 5 locations were chosen. Fukuoka's T Joy Hakata gained the most downloads and was the last stop of the tour. While in Fukuoka, the Arashi star greeted his fans from a 3-storey high terrace.

Shinjuku, Sapporo, Niigata and Osaka (Umeda) were the other 4 locations with a total of 18 greeting sessions for 8,500 fans. During this thanksgiving tour, Kazunari has received gifts with 100-bowls free ramen coupon from a cinema in Fukuoka, a straw bag from Niigata and 450 takoyaki from Osaka.

In the film, Ninomiya plays the role of a scientist who specializes in DNA. “It’s an incredible story that lets you take a look at a not too distant future", the Arashi star said.

Arashi in charge of the theme song for Sakurai Sho starring drama “Kazoku Game”

Quote:

“Endless Game” is the title of Arashi’s new song which will be used as theme song of FujiTV drama “Kazoku Game” starred by Sakurai Sho.

“Kazoku Game” is based on the novel under the same name written by Honma Yohei. Yoshimoto is a tutor with unprecedented wilderness who is somewhat scary and mysterious, he will be in charge of an 8th grade outcast, Numata Shugeki. Yoshimoto will try to correct his student by taking care of his many problems.

There was a popular adaptation in 1983, directed by Morita Yoshimitsu and starred by Matsuda Yusaku. Because of its popularity, there’s now high expectations for the interpretation of Sakurai and the current director, Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi. They will dare to create a bold remake set in the current year.

“Endless Game “CD release information has yet to be decided.

Sho Sakurai Appears At Press Conference For Drama "Kazoku Game"

Quote:

On April 9, Arashi member Sho Sakurai attended the press launch of Fuji TV's new spring drama "Kazoku Game".

The drama is based on Yohei Honma's novel. In fact, a live action film has already been done starring the late Yusaku Matsuda in 1983 and now, it is Sakurai's turn to play the weird Kouya Yoshimoto in a TV adaptation.

Along with Sakurai, fellow cast members Honami Suzuki, Ryuunosuke Kamiki, Shiori Kutsuna, Itsuji Itao, Seiju Uragami and AKB48's Rie Kitahara also appeared at the event. In the drama, Sakurai takes on the role of an eccentric home tutor who, despite of blurting out sarcastic words, helps the family of Kayoko Numata (Suzuki) to face problems like affairs, bullying and minor crime cases such as shoplifting.

Arashi will be providing the theme song "Endless Game" for the drama. "Kazoku Game" will be shown every Wednesday starting on April 17 at 10PM.

Masaki Aiba To Host Own Variety Show

Quote:

Arashi's Masaki Aiba has landed on his own TV hosting project "Aiba Manabu" and appeared on its press conference last April 14 in Tokyo.

"Aiba Manabu" will be the singer/actor's own show where he will be revealing some little-known interesting facts about Japan that his fellow Japanese will be amused to know and something that they will be proud of. In the show, Aiba will not be having his "idol image" as he swaps into a more smarty look wearing black-rimmed glasses.

In the first episode, it was revealed that the show will be focusing on different kinds of food that originate from Japan. In addition, Aiba will be participating in a food eating showdown against Sponichi reporter Sei Aiba. The Arashi member's goal was to finish 70 bowls of Wanko Soba but in the end, he only managed to finish 56 calling it a draw with Reporter Aiba.

TV Asahi's "Aiba Manabu" will run every Sunday starting on April 21 at 6PM.

Sakurai Sho to host 12-hour live broadcast special music program

Quote:

NTV will air a special music program “THE MUSIC DAY Ongaku no Chikara” on July 6th to commemorate their 60th anniversary since its launching, and Arashi member Sakurai Sho will serve as the main host.

Just like NTV’s annual telethon “24-Hour Television”, ”THE MUSIC DAY Ongaku no Chikara” is also planned to be their annual special music program. The broadcast network plans to hold a survey that is related to the theme of the year, masterpieces chosen from the survey will be introduced.

This year’s theme will be “The masterpieces that encouraged Japanese people”, and it will be broadcast live for 12 hours, which will be the longest music program to ever air. The main venue is the Makuhari Messe, and many great artists will gather there to perform. Archive footage from the past 60 years will also be broadcast.

Sakurai commented, “It was surprising enough that I would be the main host for the special music program for this summer, but knowing that it would be 12 hours long, I am still in doubt. Without getting crushed by the dignity of its title, the 60th anniversary since launching, I will try my hardest to serve this important task!!”

NTV is currently asking for requests for the “masterpieces that encouraged Japanese people” on their official site.

Additionally, there will be a music event “THE MUSIC DAY LIVE presented by ‘ZERO’” (charged), to be held on July 7th, at the same venue.

I'm really kind of wondering...does NTV have the biggest backing of Arashi or something? Or is it another network? I know that Sho does the "NEWS ZERO" job, so that's why I'm kind of wondering if there's a bias between NTV and Arashi...

The program is in the talks of being held every year and this live will mark its start. Fans and viewers also have their participation as they vote their favorite songs through the show's official site.

Furthermore, another event called "THE MUSIC DAY LIVE presented by ‘ZERO'" will be held at the same venue on the following day.

30 second movie trailer for MatsuJun's new movie Hidamari no Kanojo



Quote:

The official website for Takahiro Miki’s upcoming movie Hidamari no Kanojo has been re-launched with a new 30-second teaser trailer.

The film is based on a romance novel by Osamu Koshigaya which has consistently received glowing reviews from young female readers.

Matsumoto Jun plays Kosuke, a rookie ad exec who is reunited with former childhood friend Mao (Ueno Juri) at a client meeting 10 years after they last saw each other in junior high school. Mao has gone through a dramatic transformation from the girl who was bullied and called the “class idiot” in school to an attractive and intelligent young woman.

As the teaser shows, the two start spending lots of time together and become a couple. However, Mao is keeping an incredible secret…

“Hidamari no Kanojo” will be released in Japan on October 12, 2013.

Sakurai Sho to host 12-hour live music special first program in the history of NTV

Quote:

On April 24th it was revealed that Arashi member, Sakurai Sho (31) will serve as main host of a special program as part of NTV’s 60th Anniversary since broadcasting. The said program is entitled “THE MUSIC DAY Ongaku no Chikara”, it’ll be broadcasted on July 6th and will last a total of 12 hours for the first time in history. Sakurai commented, “I will try my best without getting crushed by the weight of the billboard and the title of this special program for their 60th Anniversary. I’d like to continue to give my utmost effort and serve them firmly in this important task!”.

The show will offer a look back in life and eras through music which is sometimes able to heal, give power and evoke hope, “An entertainment program similar to the large-scaled ’24hr TV’ comes in second as a brand new music festival”. This show will become an annual regular starting this year.

With an unprecedented 12 hours of live broadcast, this is the most airtime for any music program in Japanese history. So far, the longest music program in NTV was broadcasted in December 2008 and December 2009 with “Best Artist”, both of them lasted 3 hours and 48 minutes. In other stations, with data collected since 1987, TBS broadcasted “Bokura no Hi” for 7 hours and 40 minutes in July 2011. NTV plans on taking the first place with almost 5 more hours.

Sakurai has been active in many aspects as an artist, actor and caster. As for his activities with Arashi, he is scheduled to serve as main personality of this years’ “24hr Television” for the second year in a row. Sakurai now has also a big responsibility for this summer to take care of.

“Summer! Music Special! Main host!, I was already surprised by all of this but then added to the 12 hours of continous broadcast, I feel a little skeptical”, he expressed his surprise. “Speaking of the power of music, I want the audience to feel embraced by a history of 60 years”, he hoped.

The theme of this year is “Materpieces that encouraged Japanese people”. On the home page of the show, the audience can request songs they want to listen as part of the theme of the show, they will be chosen and introduced during the live show.

This special will also present VTR and archived footage of the past 60 years, in addition to gorgeous artists performing in the main venue Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Everything will be broadcasted live all over the country.

Celebrations will not end on this day, the said program will be followed the very next day (July 7th) with a live event in the same venue, “THE MUSIC DAY LIVE” to be presented by “ZERO” where “NEWS ZERO” caster Murao Nobutaka and Kiritani Mirei will serve as moderators. Some of the performers will be; ayaka, Angela Aki, Suga Shikao, flumpool, Miyazawa Kazufumi (THE BOOM). In addition, Inoue Akira (Keyboard), Matsubara Masaki (Guitar), Bakabon Suzuki (Bass), Muraishi Masayuki (Drums), Miyamoto Emiri (Violin) will form the “ZERO BAND”.

Morisanchu’s Oshima Miyuki chosen as the charity marathon runner for this year’s 24-Hour Television

Quote:

On May 11th, it was announced on the variety show “Arashi ni Shiyagare” that female comedian trio Morisanchu’s Oshima Miyuki (33) has been chosen as the charity marathon runner for NTV’s annual telethon “24-Hour Television 36 Ai wa Chikyuu wo Sukuu“.

Oshima revealed the reason why she decided to take on as the runner. “Even though I weigh 88 kilograms, and fat, I don’t want to say I can’t without trying,” she said. “I’m also curious what I would be able to see when I finish running for 24 hours. It’s such an honour, and will be once in a lifetime. I will run at my own best, and hope I could send out smiles to everyone.”

Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi said to Oshima, “Honestly, I’m worried, but please come to the goal at your own pace”, and Ninomiya Kazunari also sent a cheer to her saying, “I cannot sweepingly say that it’s all about reaching the goal. Even if you can’t make it on time, or you can’t run the whole distance, I will still be waiting for you.”

As reported previously, Arashi will be serving as the main personality for the second consecutive year.

“24-Hour Television 36 Ai wa Chikyuu wo Sukuu” will be aired on August 24th to the 25th.

MatsuJun will be so proud of Morisanchu’s Oshima Miyuki , like really :P

[Oricon] Arashi achieves the top spot in overall DVD sales for 2nd consecutive week

Quote:

Released on April 24th, Arashi’s DVD “ARASHI LIVE TOUR Popcorn” has sold 51,000 copies on its second week, topping May 13th weekly sales charts for overall DVD sales ranking following their achievement from the previous week. Including all their releases in all genres (music, drama, varieties, etc.), they have sold a total of 7,824,000 copies, getting closer to the mark of 8 millions.

Getting this achievement for 2 weeks in a row is no strange to Arashi because they are receiving this title again, 4 months after the release of "ARASHI Arafes" (December 2012). As for male artists, Mr.Children has also achieved the same with "Mr.Children/Split The Difference" (November 2010).

This work comes for their latest tour, held in important domes of 5 major cities in Japan from November 2012 to January 2013. Within this live, they recorded this DVD during their presentation in Tokyo Dome held last December.

The choice of font used is my fave with regards to the covers . Outfits wise , kinda reminds me of Troublemaker but without the over the top patterns used LOL

Funny that Sakurai looked bored in both covers o_O
