At the conference, Ono commented on his single “Face Down”, “Fitting in well with this drama, the lyrics are mysterious. That is brand-new for us. Arashi has been singing many kinds of songs, and this new single makes me feel like we’re seeing a new side of Arashi.‘ Sato Koichi agreed, “The song goes well with the drama“, while Toda Erika stated, “This is a really cool song. It makes the drama world seem like it’s expanding, and it raises my spirits.”

This mystery drama is about Emoto Kei, played by Ono, who is an employee of a major security company. He’s requested to solve mysteries related to cases that are only known of behind closed doors. Toda’s role is Aoto Junko, a beautiful lawyer who helps out with the mystery solving. Soto will play the role of elite lawyer Serizawa Go, who belongs to the same company as Aoto.

Ohno Satoshi to unlock mysterious cases in Fuji TV’s next Monday drama

Fiona — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:05:51 +0000

Two networks have just announced a new drama for the upcoming season and they both will be starring a member from the popular group Arashi. One of the networks is Fuji TV, who finally lifted the secret about their next Monday drama. It’s title is going to be ‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya‘ and will star Ohno Satoshi as the protagonist.

‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya’ is based on a mystery novel by Kishi Yuusuke. It tells the story of an employee of a major security firm (Ohno), who is solving the mysteries related to cases that happened behind closed doors. His job is to find out how the perpetrator entered the locked room and how he managed to leave it under such circumstances. He’s the best fit for the job, because he’s personally obsessed with keys and locks and even goes as far as claiming that ‘there are no locks that cannot be broken’. At first glimpse he looks like a calm and collected guy, but in the heat of solving the mystery behind a locked room he’s burning with an incredible tenacity. He’s an unconventional hero who is helping with cases one request after another.

For Ohno this is not only going to be his first Monday drama starring role, but also his first starring role on Fuji TV in general. He’s going to receive the baton from fellow Arashi member Matsumoto Jun, who is starring in this season’s Monday drama ‘Lucky Seven‘.

He commented, “It’s been a while since my last role as a human being. You’ll meet me behind closed doors!”

‘Kagi no Kakatta Heya’ is going to air every Monday at 9:00 pm.

Sakurai Sho & Matsumoto Jun to make guest appearance on Ohno Satoshi’s special drama

Fiona — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:31:04 +0000

It’s been announced that Arashi members Sakurai Sho and Matsumoto Jun will make guest appearance on fellow member Ohno Satoshi’s upcoming special drama “Mou Yuukai nante Shinai“.

This special drama is a comical mystery about a freeter (Ohno) who receives the odd request to fake the kidnapping of racketeer boss daughter, (Aragaki Yui).

Sakurai will appear in the special drama as the butler “Kageyama” which is from Sakurai’s ongoing drama “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de“, while Matsumoto will make an appearance as “Tokita Shuntaro” which is from Matsumoto’s upcoming “Getsu9″ drama “Lucky Seven.”

The announcement for Sakurai and Matsumoto’s guest appearance on Ohno’s drama was made during the press conference for “Fuku Arashi” campaign which is to promote the special TV programs on Fuji TV in which Arashi appears at the end of the year and New Year season. There will be a special CM for the campaign starring Arashi during December 17th ~ January 3rd for a limited term, and on Fuji TV’s official site, there will also be an original game “Fuku Arashi Warai.”

At the press conference, Sakurai who received the script for the drama a few days ago, commented, “I saw Ohno’s name on the first page, and my name and Matsumoto’s name on the following pages on the script. I’m happy to see it, so I am carrying it around with me everyday.” Matsumoto also commented, “He (Ohno) has different atmosphere at the shoot for drama which is not Arashi-like. So I’m looking forward to see it at the shoot.”

On the other hand, other members Ninomiya Kazunari and Aiba Masaki seem to be little dissatisfied, as Aiba said to Ohno at the press conference, “Ohno-kun, what about us? Though we don’t have any role we have with us right now, it’s not too late if you guys are still shooting. Where are you guys filming at?“, and Ninomiya also said, “I haven’t been offered yet. I don’t mind if I have to meet you at the filming location.” Unfortunately, Ohno refused them saying, “Not this time.” Therefore the two said while consoling each other, “Shall we do our best on ‘VS Arashi‘ then?”

“Mou Yuukai nante Shinai” is scheduled to be aired on January 3rd on Fuji TV.

It was announced that actress Aragaki Yui will play the heroine for special drama “Mou Yuukai nante Shinai” which will be aired on January 3rd on Fuji TV. As reported previously, Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi will star in the special drama.

This special drama is a comedy, based on a novel by Higashikawa Tokuya who is known as the author of “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de”, and Aragaki will play a rich college girl whose father is the boss of racketeers named, “Hanazono Erika.” She suggests a freeter (will be played by Ohno) a fake kidnapping, and tries to chisel some money out of her father in order to pay a doctor’s fee for her half-sister (different father) who needs a kidney transplantation.

Aragaki was saying before the shoot started, “I’m nervous since Ohno-san is many-talented person, but our dialogue will be main for the drama, so I would like to enjoy it.” However, when the shoot started on the 28th, it seems like she felt little better as she said, “We (Ohno and her) started communicating with each other little by little, so I think it will be a fun drama that suits for new year.”

I’m overjoyed now and looking forward to this. The interaction between Oh-chan and Yui-san will definitely positive, I’ve heard some many wonderful stories about her.

It has been confirmed that the “Kaibutsu-kun” drama series, starring Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno (30), has a movie version in the works. The film will be shot in 3D and is said to be a huge project, with some sources reporting that NTV is investing approximately 2 billion yen for the film’s production budget. Yoshihiro Nakamura (“Golden Slumber,” “Team Batista no Eikou”) has been tapped to direct.

Although the drama only averaged 13.9% during its original broadcast run last year, it reportedly had ratings of 24.2% among young children and families. The show already got a special episode last year, and the characters from the show also made an appearance at NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

This will be Ohno’s first solo starring role in a movie. Besides him, the show’s main cast will reprise their roles, including Norito Yashima, Ryuhei Ueshima, Choi Hong Man, Takeshi Kaga, Masahiro Matsuoka (TOKIO), Izumi Inamori, Umika Kawashima, and Tatsuomi Hamada. Of course, new characters will be added as well, including an original villain.

Filming will begin this month, and some scenes will be shot in southeast Asia as the story involves Kaibutsu-kun and his friends going on an adventure to a fictional country.

Production is aiming to finish around October. Although an exact release date has not yet been set, various sources are reporting that the film will either be released around Christmas or the New Year holiday season.

From Tokyograph

Isn’t this a nice little surprise? Oh-chan finally will star in his own movie, cannot wait to see! He is probably the only 30 year old idol that can play such an extremely cute 10 year old. I wonder if themesong will be performed by Arashi as well.

Ohno Satoshi stars in Arashi’s fourth Hitachi commercial

Fiona — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:20:41 +0000

Arashi leader Satoshi Ohno (29) was all about fishing when it came to shooting his new commercial for Hitachi’s drum type washer and dryer, reports Oricon today.

The group have been promoting Hitachi home appliances this year, with each member appearing in their own commercial with one appliance. To date Masaki Aiba (27) has been advertising washing machines, Sho Sakurai (28) vacuum cleaners, and Kazunari Ninomiya (27) refrigerators.

Ohno’s commercial takes place in an apartment, where the Arashi leader is relaxing on his day off by reading fishing magazines. As he starts fixing and polishing up his fishing gear, he notices the invitation to a friend’s wedding stuck on the wall. Realizing that today is the wedding day, Ohno gasps out, “Shoot! It’s going to start,” throws on a shirt from the washer dryer and runs out the door.

As a self-proclaimed fishing enthusiast, it has been reported Ohno paid a lot of attention to the fishing gear used on set. Enough so that even after the director had called cut during a scene, Ohno had continued to read the fishing magazine.

“I want go fishing…,” Ohno said.

For the latter part of the shoot, it has been reported Ohno had trouble putting his shirt on in a hurry.

The singer had trouble doing up his buttons properly, or his collar was not straight. After three tries and commenting, “this is hard,” the Arashi leader got the needed shot.

Ohno’s new commercial for Hitachi’s ヒートリサイクル　風アイロン　ビッグドラム (Heat Recycle Kaze-iron Big Drum) washer and dryer is set to go on air in Japan from October 16.

Hehe…that’s our Riida, the real womanizer! I’m not a bit surprised as he is a constantly picked as a favorite during the HnA VIP Room.

Everyone knows that he is such a bad boy at heart. LOL
