OOPS

I thought it's recent cos it was posted on aramatheydidnt , well guess not T-T

anyway ...

Kimura Takuya Suggests Handing Out Condoms to Promote New Drama

The Fuji TV drama Moon Lovers isn't airing till next month, but there has been endless promotions in place already. Last Friday on the radio show What's Up SMAP, Kimura Takuya received countless questions from listeners wanting to know more on the storyline and how things were progressing on set. However, Kimura cleverly answered around the questions without giving anything away.

One listener asked if there will be any promotional items that will be released with the drama? At first Kimura was serious about answering the question, saying he hasn't heard anything regarding this issue. However, later he said that there was a secret plan to hand out condoms during the campaign. He then went on to say how love encompasses intimate moments, so condoms are a necessity for couples. He later stressed that it was his own personal opinion, but he will present his suggestion to Fuji TV and personally look into the details.

Another idea that Kimura had was to organize a beauty contest. As 'Getsu' sounds similar to 'Ketsu' (butt), Kimura wanted to hold a contest through the television station, and went as far as coining the name 'Ketsu no Koi'. Then he laughed and said that he will enter the contest too, since all the contestants' faces will be hidden. Seems like he went all out trying to sell the idea.

During the radio show there were many questions from listeners asking about Lin Chi-Ling. Even Kimura admitted how surprised he was by their interest in his co-star. He was asked how they communicated with each other, and if she introduced him to good food during their filming in Shanghai. Kimura said that Lin Chi-Ling speaks to them in English, especially when she talks to Matsuda Shota, who studied in London. However, her Japanese has improved quite a bit. He expressed that when all the cast members are speaking in English, it gives him a feeling of living overseas.

what I didn't know Shota Matsuda studied in London O_O'''

The 1 group/duo that I want them to return back to release stuff together is Tackey & Tsubasa

I can't believe it has been like what close to 2 years or so since Koi Uta / PROGRESS was released

I hope they're not forgotten cos I know I'm still waiting for them to return back together to release something eventually

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

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.

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

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:
