Aiba Challenges Boxing in the New CM

Idol group Arashi’s member Masami Aiba had his first boxing challenge in the new CM “BOXING” of the medicine for insect sting. He was instructed with a lot of secret tips from the legendary former world champion Yoko Gushiken who defended his championship for 13 times. So in the CM Aiba was able to show the KO punches one after another.

Aiba, who is known for his kind and friendly personality, hit the sandbag single-minded with one-two punch of sharp jab and straight before the final powerful right hook, keeping a cool expression on the face.

After watching more than 200 punches of himself in the shooting, he commented: “It seems that I become stronger somehow.” The 1st chapter “The man who fits Muhi best in Japan” of the new CM has already been on air. Can Aiba “KO” fans by his charm with double CMs?!

You can view Aiba-chan’s new CMs on the official website here. There are also a few wallpapers available to download, I especially like the black and white one. Both CMs are cute, though the Boxing Otaku one is a bit better.

Aiba Masaki to star in new butai

Fiona — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:56:48 +0000

It has been confirmed that Aiba-chan has been casted in a new stageplay, it’s titled Kimi to Miru Sen no Yume (The Thousand Dreams I Dream With You). It will be from 5/2 to 5/24 at The Globe Tokyo. On the website, a brief synopsis has been added:

激しい交通事故後、昏睡状態で慌ただしく病院に運び込まれる一人の男がいる。
一緒に駆け込んできたのは池辺春也。

男が集中治療室に運び込まれて処置を受ける中、
春也の妹、友達、そして春也の恋人の小野美智子が駆けつけた。

そのとき、春也はようやく事態に気づく。
ここにいる生死の境をさまよっている男。

「もしかして俺？」。

事故のとき何があったのか思い出せない春也は、思い出の日々をたどっていく。

それぞれのきずなを確かめ、そしてついに事故の真相にたどりつく・・・。

Here’s my rough translation:

After a severe traffic accident, a man was rushed to the hospital in the state of emergency. He who had already fallen into a coma was Ikebe Haruya.

Due to his condition, he was transported to the intensive care unit. While receiving treatment, Haruya’s younger sister, friends, and girlfriend (Ono Mitiko) have arrived frantically.

At that time, Haruya is finally aware of his situation.
This man is between the verge of life and death.

“Could this be me?”

Haruya could not recall the actual events that had occurred at the time of the accident.

Upon confirming his ties with each person in pursuit of recollecting his life, he comes upon the truth behind his accident….

This sounds very intriguing and hope all goes well. I’m quite impressed by the title (The Thousand Dreams I Dream With You), it sure holds much meaning and enough to make one flair! Ganbatte, Aiba-chan!!

Sakurai Sho will make guest appearance on My Girl

Fiona — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:52:23 +0000

Arashi member Aiba Masaki is playing the lead role in the drama series ‘マイガール / My Girl’. Fellow member Sakurai Sho will guest star!
It has become something of a tradition where fellow Arashi members appear as guest stars in the final episodes of dramas that feature one (or two) of the members as lead actors. For ‘よい子の味方 / Yoi Ko no Mikata’ with Sakurai playing the lead, Matsumoto Jun, Ohno Satoshi and Aiba appeared as guests. Ohno also guest-starred in ‘山田太郎ものがたり / Yamada Taro Monogatari’; the lead actors were Ninomiya Kazunari and Sakurai. Ohno played the lead role in ‘魔王 / Maou (Maoh)’, and Ninomiya made an appearance in the final story.

For the upcoming episode Sakurai will become ‘Sato’, the new employee at the photo studio where ‘Masamune (Aiba)’ works. Sato will be crucial in showing Masamune’s feelings. Sakurai soon became a natural part of the cast. “Everyone was cheery and kindly welcomed me in.”
Aiba in between rehearsals discussed extensively with Sakurai about the timing and pace of their characters’ conversations to better ready themselves for the filming. Aiba said that their talk renewed his love for the group. “Arashi is superb.” Their consulting each other also showed how passionate and serious Aiba was about the drama.
The filming of Sakurai’s scene started at 23:00. When he appeared at the film set the staff and cast members loudly applauded. After an hour, the filming was complete. While taped music played in the background Sakurai was even handed a bouquet of flowers. Since it was the final day of filming for the entire drama, he joined the staff and cast members when they took a group photo.
Sakurai later talked about it during an MC at a concert held on December 4th. Ninomiya asked “Did you actually join them [in the photo]?” Matsumoto took a step closer and said “I hope you had the decency to stand to the side.” Sakurai smiled shyly and replied “Well, uh, everyone said I should go ahead…” He revealed that [despite having only a bit role] he stood dead center in the group photo alongside Aiba.
The drama’s official blog also recounted Sakurai’s guest appearance, and made a surprising announcement! “We succeeded in including a scene where we have a rare close-up of his eyes. Sakurai-san said it was a ‘great honor’ to have that scene included. We hope you enjoy watching that part.” Fans can’t afford to miss that crucial scene.

From Music Japan

I’m going to look forward to this, just cannot believe that My Girl will be ending soon. I wouldn’t mind see Koharu-chan is a few more episode, she is just too kawaii.

Now there’s only Jun-kun left that hasn’t made any guest appearances since Sho-kun’s Yoiko no Mikata. I would love to see him in a drama with Riida or Nino, ne.

Nino’s Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara:

This looks good so far, love the scene where Nino was playing with the twins. However, I cannot picture him as a father, he still has the Onii-san aura much like Taro-chan and his siblings. We’ll just have to wait and see; Mao-chan and him look quite adorable as a couple though.

Aiba-chan’s My Girl:

The little girl that plays his daughter is extremely kawaii and Aiba-chan is very adorable here. Looking forward to this.
