“Shin Domoto Kyoudai” to welcome new cast members to the show



KinKi Kids‘ music variety show, “Shin Domoto Kyoudai” (Sun at 11:15 PM), will celebrate its 10th year anniversary since they started the broadcast, and they will renew the show with new talent.

In the episode on April 24th, Brother Tom, Fukada Kyoko, and HALCALI’s YUCALI and HALCA will graduate from the show, and Makihara Noriyuki, Nishikawa Takanori, and AKB48 member Takahashi Minami will be added as the new members starting on May 8th. Those three members will participate as a chorus on the live corner, as well as on its new corner, “Uso Hon Domoto”, in which they seek to find out if the guest’s episode is true or false.

The first guest after the renewal will be a singer, Tokunaga Hideaki, and Takahashi will perform a duet with him.

Koichi knows how to play baseball ? I thought the only sport he goes nuts over is F1 racing

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.

Time is the most beautiful song. Once again in love with KinKi Kids and their heavenly voices. I kind of lost interest in them during the last years, but I just love that single.

U-Key zone is a genius !

I love the stuff he does for Kuroki Meisa & the fact he cowrote Time with mikula + composed & arranged by U-Key zone himself , that's something

[ll moments ll]

so...ABC-Z is going to become a 7-member group and change their name to ABC-xyZ. the "xy" is from "sexy". LMAOOOOOOO.

Johnny’s & Associates president Johnny Kitagawa announced the formation of a new group on September 5, reports Asahi Shimbun and Chunichi Sports.

Kitagawa was at the opening of the latest Johnny’s Jr. stage show “少年たち　格子無き牢獄 (Shonentachi: Koushi naki Rougoku)” in Tokyo yesterday where he revealed his agency’s new group: a seven member group centred around the already exisiting four member group A.B.C-Z (excluding Kawai, who is currently out with a leg injury).

“(A.B.C-Z is a) group that has singing, dance, and acting talent. I wouldn’t be afraid to let them go overseas. It might be good to add a few members and call them ‘ABC-xyZ’. The ‘xy’ comes from ‘sexy’,” he said.

The group first began as A.B.C in 2001, and then in 2008, Ryosuke Hashimoto joined in. It has been reported although the group have not made their CD debut, their sharp dance moves and acrobatics have made them become an essential part of stage performances.

Yesterday, A.B.C.-Z member Fumito Kawai appeared on stage in a wheelchair, as he is still recovering from a leg injury from July.

“I can’t stay still, I want to dance,” he said.

It has been reported it will be October before Kawai can make a full recovery.

As for the new group, Kitagawa had hinted things could get going by 2012.

“Kawai has to get better first,” he said.

[KarenPang]

LMAO yeah I read that on arama & went o_________O

I really hope they will be able to debut next after Kisumai . I can't believe it has been like what close to 10 years since ABC-xyZ was formed D: D: D: D:

I hope Kawai will get well soon :x

[Bigtop]

Oh boy... ABC-xyZ is about to get HOT...
