Yesterday we reported the results of the first day of the “Marching J” fundraiser held by talent agency Johnny’s Jimusho on April 1. Today marked the second day of the event.
On April 2, popular group SMAP participated in the charity event held outside of Yoyogi Gym 1 in Tokyo. The event is raising money to support disaster relief in Japan. A total of 127,000 people visited the event on its second day, exceeding the 101,000 visitors of the first day. SMAP’s Katori Shingo (34) commented, “I was reminded of how amazing Johnny’s is”. Kimura Takuya (38) was moved by the event, saying, “I’m happy that everyone came, and that they are smiling”. Currently staying in the United States to prepare for his American debut, Akanishi Jin (26) delivered a video message projected on a giant screen on the stage. “I’m disappointed that I can’t be there with you guys. My family lives in Tokyo, and I hate that I can’t be with them right now”, he said, frowning. Then he issued a call to the crowd, saying, “Let’s come together to support our own”. Akanishi also mentioned the event on his Twitter: “By the way thank u 2 all the ppl who attended Johnny’s charity event n japan.My apologies for only being able to be there as a video message“. Also in Tokyo April 2 for the first day of a theater production was V6’s Inohara Yoshihiko (34), who rushed to the event before the performance to voice his support. http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/04/aka...video-message/

Marching J attracted almost 390,000 fans over three days
The 3/11 disaster relief project which featured SMAP and every talent at Johnny’s & Associates had attracted 389,000 fans over its three-day period, reports the Japan Press Network, TV Asahi, Oricon, and News 24 (1 & 2). It has been reported “Marching J” had attracted 101,000 fans on April 1, 127,000 fans on April 2, and 161,000 fans on April 3. On Sunday, SMAP made an appearance at Marching J’s stage outside the Yoyogi Dai-ichi Taikukuan, Harajuku for the second day in a row, and thanked their fans for their efforts. “I think your thoughts right now will reach thousands of people,” said Shingo Katori. “This is the last time we’ll be collecting donations from Yoyogi [Dai-ichi Taikukan] but I hope you all keep an eye on the situation for a longer period of time,” said Masahiro Nakai. “To show my gratitude to you all,” said Tsuyoshi Kusanagi before he did a back flip. The group also performed their hit numbers “世界に一つだけの花 (Sekai ni Hitotsu dake no Hana)” and “夜空ノムコウ (Yozora no Mukou)” in a cappella in front of the crowd. It has been reported Nakai had been singing softly compared to the others. “I didn’t want to cause trouble…,” he said, making the crowd laugh. Donations on Sunday started half and hour early, and so the event ran from 9:30am to 6pm. Johnny’s talents who appeared on April 3 were:
“Marching J” gave Higashiyama the chance to see some old friends like Koji Uchiumi. “I can’t remember the last time we met. How’ve you been?,” he said. It has also been reported Keinchi Okamoto and his son Keito Okamato (Hey! Say! JUMP) appeared on stage together for the first time to give families in the crowd some advice. “I’ve heard there are a lot of families here today, please be careful not to let go of your children’s hands. Have fun,” Kenichi Okamoto said. http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...er-three-days/

SMAP to sing the theme song for next “Getsu 9″ drama
It was announced that SMAP’s new song “not alone~Shiawase ni Narou yo~” has been chosen as the theme song for next “Getsu 9″ drama, “Shiawase ni Narou yo.” SMAP member, Katori Shingo is slated to star in the drama. The new song was first planned to be released as a single CD on May 4th, however, because of their considerations for saving electricity for CD press and printing factories which are located in Kanto area, as well as the circulating system to send many CDs to the whole country, it has been decided that they will release the song as digital single. (This will be the first time for any “Getsu 9″ theme song to be released as a digital single.) “not alone~Shiawase ni Narou yo~” will begin distributing in three forms; “Chaku-Uta (starting on April 25th)”, “Chaku-Uta Full” and “Ring Back Tone (starting on May 4th)”. Chaku-Uta Full will be on sale with the members’ wallpaper, and 100 yen from every download will be donated as the disaster relief through Marching J. http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/04/sma...getsu-9-drama/

SMAP’s Nakai Masahiro volunteers at an emergency shelter
SMAP member Nakai Masahiro appears to have secretly visited a shelter in Fukushima on April 7th, showing his compassion for the disaster victims. According to reports from Fuji Television, Nakai arrived at the shelter in a mask, hat, and sunglasses to hide his identity, but made sure to greet everyone by at least taking off his shades. Apparently, the star had the day off and was called in by friends to come help out. In addition to helping pass out emergency rations of rice, he also brought toys for the small children and massage chairs for the elderly people staying at the shelter, lighting up the faces of the weary and displaced people. He was careful not to reveal his identity completely and remained silent for most of this time, but quietly wished each person health as he brought them food. Nakai is said to have returned to work in Tokyo on the 8th. http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/04/sma...gency-shelter/

Tackey’s power-saving stage show still wows crowd
Johnny’s talent Hideaki Takizawa opened up about his feelings for his new stage show and how he wanted to help victims from the 3/11 disaster, the star said at a press conference in Tokyo on April 12, reports Mainichi Shimbun, Daily Sports Online, and The TV news. “滝沢歌舞伎 (Takizawa Kabuki)” had started shows at the Nissay Theatre in Tokyo on April 8. With aftershocks still hitting Tokyo, staff members are now on standby in the stage wings to help out in case of an emergency. “We do a last safety check just before the curtain goes up,” Takizawa said. It has been reported the show has been modified to run at 80 per cent of its original electricity plans by dimming some stage lights and screens. One of the highlights of the first act has been reported as Takizawa’s fast costume change. The talent has 10 costume changes in the space of 15 minutes, turning into historical Japanese figures including Nobunaga Oda and Shiro Amakusa. “There are so many tricks to it, even some I don’t know about,” he said. One character Takizawa plays, Yoshitsune, is a character he has previously played in the 2005 NHK Taiga drama. Parts of Yoshitsune had been shot in areas of Iwate prefecture hit by the 3/11 earthquake. “A lot of people helped me during the location shoots for the Taiga drama in north-eastern Japan. I am worried. I want to find some time to go and see them again. It’s a huge area but I want to go around everywhere,” he said. It has been reported the 3/11 disaster had stopped stage show rehearsals for a while, but it did not stop the show from being canceled. “(When the earthquake struck) we were in the middle of rehearsals, and afterwards rehearsals were canceled for about 10 days. There were days I was worried about how things would turn out, but then I’d realise there were people who were going through much tougher times than me.” Takizawa continued to talk about how he felt about fans coming to see his show in amidst the current crisis. “It makes me really thankful to know I have fans like this. My fans have supported me up to now and now I want to be able to support them. (After the first show’s performance) the applause was huge and it wouldn’t stop. At that moment I was so glad to have pushed on and open this show.” “滝沢歌舞伎 (Takizawa Kabuki)” has a very Japanese history theme to it, and Takizawa had one more message to those affected by the 3/11 disaster. “There have been disasters in the past. But an amazing Japan is still here. We can overcome this. We will always be with you.” Takizawa’s stage show will continue shows until May 8. http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...ll-wows-crowd/

According to V6 member Miyake Ken's J-web entry dated May 1st, V6 is currently in Las Vegas. Fans are speculating they might be filming a PV for their digital song with m-flo's ☆Taku Takahashi or a program there, but Miyake hasn't updated fans on anything yet.
Meanwhile, Okada Junichi's film SP Yabou-hen ranks in at #7 on this week's Oricon DVD chart. http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/2152459.html  need new V6 single now ._.

Tackey’s talks about his faith in Johnny Kitagawa
Hideaki Takizawa said he trusts his agency’s boss completely when it comes to showbiz, it was revealed at a press conference in Tokyo on October 3, reports Sponichi Annex. Recently it was announced Johnny’s & Associates president Johnny Kitagawa had set two Guinness world records: “Most Concerts Produced by an Individual” (8419 shows between 2000 and 2010, reports the Guinness World Records), and, “Most No.1 Singles Produced by an Individual” Speaking at a press conference for his upcoming stage show “新春 滝沢革命 (Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei)”, Tackey said the records were no surprise. “It’s an amazing record, and I feel very happy to be able to work for someone like Johnny-san. I know that if I do what Johnny-san says, he’ll undoubtably make it a great show,” he said. Senior Johnny’s talent Kazukiyo Nishikiori, who also stars in the stage show, said when he was starting out in the entertainment industry, everyone was going out overseas to places like New York because that was where everything was happening. He said he hopes the opposite will happen now, and more and more people will come to Japan to see shows. “新春 滝沢革命 (Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei)” will begin it’s next season from January 1 2012. The show started performances in 2009 and includes dynamic stunts such as wire-flying sequences and an on-stage waterfall. http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...hnny-kitagawa/
