http://static.tokyohive.com/wp-conte...ya-600x450.jpg

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari will once again be starring in the new commercial for Glico’s chocolate snack ’Pocky‘.

Like the previous CM, Ninomiya continues to dance to hip hop artist MC Hammer’s signature song, “U Can’t Touch This“. This time, he mishears the lyrics as “Tabi ni aundesu” (It suits travels).

To coincide the CM, ‘Pocky’ is currently holding a campaign through their official website for a chance to win a ‘Pocky’ original suitcase. The campaign ends on August 31st.

The release date or any other information of “Your Eyes” has not been decided yet.

This drama is adapted from the popular mystery novel series ‘Mikeneko Holmes’ by Akagawa Jiro.

ooh Aiba's new drama starts airing later tonight :3

wow preview for Your Eyes sounds really really good o_o . Seeing Aiba & Becky on screen is so 2nd nature to me xD especially since both of them appear on TSD every Sat x)

^ "Your Eyes" doesn't sound bad at all. It sounds like a more serious song!
I'm really looking forward to the two new singles! :heart

DAIGO will be playing Sakurai's main lead role in the stageplay adaptation of Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de :D

DAIGO, Nishiyama Maki, Wentz Eiji in stage version of “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de”

Higashigawa Tokuya’s bestselling mystery novel “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de” is getting its first stage adaptation this summer. The main cast will feature singer/actor DAIGO (34), model Nishiyama Maki (26), and WaT member Wentz Eiji (26).

“Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de” has so far had two books released, selling more than 2.75 million copies combined. Last year, it was turned into a television drama series on Fuji TV that reached ratings as high as 18.1%. The drama starred Arashi’s Sakurai Sho (30) as the sharp-tongued butler Kageyama and Kitagawa Keiko (25) as Hosho Reiko, the daughter of a wealthy family who works as a novice police detective. Although Reiko’s deductive skills as a detective are lacking, Kageyama helps her solve her cases as she tells him details while he serves her dinner.

For the stage version, DAIGO will take on the role of the butler Kageyama, and Nishiyama will play Reiko. Wentz will play Nishiyama’s superior at the police station.

Actor Murakami Hiroki (38) of the acting troupe Sessya Munieru will serve as director and writer. Performances will be held in Tokyo at the Galaxy Theatre in Tennozu from August 31 to September 9.

omg so happy for DAIGO <3 . I'm really curious to see how will he stack up against playing Sakurai's main lead in the stageplay adaptation for Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

Will DAIGO or Sakurai portrayed a better Kageyama ? only time will tell 8D

Nice covers , I like the CD + DVD as it pays an homage to Ohno's drama

omg Sakurap lyrics in Face Down ;__; , hard to believe it has been 3 years since they last released a single that has it ._.

When was the last time Sakurap was featured on a single - as an A-side!? Sure that is quite a long time...right?

if you didn't pay attention (or so I like to think) , I said in the previous post it has been almost 3 years since they last released a single with the inclusion of Sakurap :o

The first episode of "Kagi no Kakatta Heya" starring Arashi leader Ohno Satoshi, Toda Erika and Sato Kochi achieved a high rating of 18.3% for its debut on air on 16 April. This makes it the 2nd highest premiere rating among the spring drama offerings so far with Ataru bagging the first place with a rating of 19.9%.

This is also higher than the previous season's drama in the same timeslot i.e. "Lucky Seven" starring Matsumoto Jun also from Arashi which got 16.3%.

It can also be noted that Sakurai Sho's drama, Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de which had an average rating of 15.9% and aired every Tuesday from October to December of last year had a first episode rating of 18.1%

Kagi no Kakatta Heya is Ohno Satoshi's first getsuku drama making him the second member of Arashi to star in a Monday night 9pm drama.

I can't wait to watch the first episode of "KagiHeya"!! I'll watch it on the weekend and I'm sooooo looking forward to it! :heart

And I also love the covers for "Face Down", especially the second one! :smitten

MatsuJun's BFF Shun Oguri will be on VS ARASHI next week

omg MatsuJun Vs Shun , it's going to be interesting 8D

ARASHI's new song Face Down (preview)



the song seems really catchy♪

It's very very cool

So mod & very different from what I've imagined :O

Looks like they've been on a music & PV row lately . I'm buying the concept of Face Down xD

The song sounds very k-pop like. I wonder why they aren't dancing in the PV though! It would be a good song for a dance shot.

my younger sister said that the concept of Face Down is Freedom . As a result , no dance moves will be done by them in the PV

then again it's only a PV preview so maybe the full version might have it ? :shrug

At least there's Sakurap , omg can't believe it has been 3 years now since they last included 1 in their single D: D: D:

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN XD XD XD & Face Down is not even released yet until 2 weeks later lmao D:

I smell a new album coming up pretty sooner than I think ? x) . Wouldn't lie , I'm excited for the release of Your Eyes as the preview I've heard , it sounds great

Okay, hang on a second...NEW SINGLE!?

We haven't even released the May single yet!!! :thud

(And releasing on the same day as Hey! Say! JUMP releasing a new album, creating another Johnny's single-album sweep - and what's quite ironic was when HSJ released their first album back on July 2010, Arashi released "To be free" single on the SAME day...)
