Today it was announced that actor Matsumoto Jun (26) and actress Nagsawa Masami (22) are going to have a kiss scene in Fuji TV’s upcoming 50th anniversary dorama “Wagaya no Rekishi”.

The dorama is set during the turbulent middle period of the Showa era and evolves around the seven members of the cheerful Yame family. Matsumoto plays Yoshio the eldest son of the Yame family who falls in love with Yukari (Nagasawa), the child of a good family.

Due to the discrepancy between their families they strongly oppose the marriage plans of the couple, but then even a picture of one of their “prohibited kiss scenes” becomes public and matters get worse. They eventually decide to run away to save their love, but super typhoon Vera is going to thwart their plans. Vera hit Japan on September 26th, 1954 and was the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in recorded history. Looks like fate isn’t a fan of their relationship either.

The special anniversary dorama will air on 3 consecutive nights starting on April 9.

The first thought that came to my mind was NINO!! …and yes, I am a Nino x Masami fan after seeing Yasashii Jikan. If they are together, I hope that their relationship is still strong. Anyway, I’m sure it’s going to be a decent kiss scene, Jun-kun tends to be really good at these, may I mention that he does not hold back either?! For those who have watched his dramas, you know what I mean!

So excited!!! The official CM has been aired for Jun-kun’s drama special. It looks very interesting and more of a comedy than I had previously predicted. Jun-kun looks so young with that haircut ne. The style is not as bad as everyone was been babbling about, it does fit the era. Definitely looking forward to this!

The Fabio website was recently updated with the above image. Jun-kun might be endorsing their new sunscreen product – Multi Block Ultra. I wonder if there will be a new CM for this.

Arashi member Jun Matsumoto (26) was involved in a minor car accident on Monday. Fortunately, neither he nor the driver of the other car was hurt.

At about 11:15pm on Monday, Matsumoto was driving in Tokyo’s Meguro ward when he rear-ended the car of a female Tokyo resident. Police say that both drivers were trying to stop at a red light, but the street had a downward slope and the road was slippery due to snow.

Although neither party was injured, the front bumper of Matsumoto’s car and the rear bumper of the woman’s car were damaged.

For those who plan to travel to Tokyo, will need to pay special attention due to the recent weather conditions; this is the first time in two years that it had snowed. Due to the harsh weather, a total of 116 people nationwide had been admitted to the hospital. Matsumoto Jun from the popular teen-idol group (Arashi) was also involved in an accident caused by these slippery conditions.

Since this is the first time in two years that Tokyo has experienced a snowfall, everyone is excited even journalists are eager to provide real-time reports. Many people are happy for this long overdue weather, one said “It finally feels like a winter morning. The snow is so beautiful, but dangerous as well, please be careful not to slip.”

The Meteorological Agency predicted that 5cm of snow will accumulate. Unfortunately, not too long after the first snowflakes had fallen, 116 people were injured in the Kanto region. Due to the lack of snow, most have yet to install snow chains onto their tires yet. Within a day, more than 1000 car accidents had been reported.

Even on the first night of the snowfall, Matsumoto Jun had slid on the ice and rear-ended a car waiting at the traffic light; fortunately there were no injuries.

News coverage from FNN regarding where the accident had occurred:

I was extremely worried when I read the news on NOWNews, thank goodness that no one was injured. Yokatta ne! Poor guy, I’m glad that he is safe now.

I’ve being living in Pennsylvania for 20+ years now and driving in the slippery conditions is not something you want to experience. The worst I had experienced was commuting from work to home after six inches of snow/ice had fallen. Never again!! I would rather take the day off and make it up during the weekend.
