Ohno Satoshi – Naruse Ryo “returns”

Fiona — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:50:49 +0000

Kyaa~~ Riida will be appear as a guest in Sho-kun’s drama, Tokujou Kabachi!! as a lawyer. I believe his name is Honda-san. Does that mean Naruse-san has been resurrected and came back for revenge?! lmao He does really look him except a bit chubbier and cuter. I really hope that Sho-kun and him will have a scene together. I love how the members appear in each other dramas; though Jun-kun is lacking, maybe he will in the next one.

Matsumoto Jun’s “forbidden” kiss scene in upcoming drama

Fiona — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:11:43 +0000

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.

From Kawaii-Joyuu

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!

Arashi thoughts on Troublemaker

Fiona — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:28:08 +0000

Arashi (嵐)’s new single “Troublemaker” has been released on March 3rd.
The song “Troublemaker” is used as the theme song of the drama “Tokujo Kabachi(特上カバチ!!)” which is on air now and is starred by Sho Sakurai (櫻井翔).

The music video is glittering, with a colorful positive atmosphere in it. “If you listen to this song once, it will come into your head immediately. From second time, you will be able to sing it…it’s a cheerful song!” commented by Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀). This song was first sang on their concert in February, and naturally made all fans dancing together.

Jun Matsumoto (松本潤) indicated that he loved the refreshing intro part with strings. Kazunari Ninomiya (二宮和也) also announced loudly: “I like this song very much!”

Another song “Yurase Imawo (揺らせ、今を)” has been included as the B-side song, which is being used as the theme song of Vancouver Olympic Games 2010 program on Nippon TV.

In the DVD of the limited edition, a video clip of “Troublemaker” is included, while all six tracks with another B-side song “Mou Ippo(もう一歩)” and original Karaoke for each song are included in the normal edition.

Satoshi Ohno (大野智) said no matter melody A and melody B, he felt good when sing these songs all together. And Sho Sakurai(櫻井翔) was fond of the lyrics especially.

It seems the new single “Troublemaker” is highly evaluated by all members of Arashi. Maybe it will be one of the best pop songs of Arashi ever!

From Music Japan Plus

What Aiba-chan had said is so true, once Troublemaker has been played, you have to listen to it a second time! The song has been playing non-stop on my WMP for the past week along with the other two. It’s so upbeat and catchy, doesn’t it just makes you get and dance? ^.^

Arashi – Troublemaker Performance on Utaban

Fiona — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:12:01 +0000

This was such a fun and genki performance, the set was so colorful and cute. The boys’ clothings were quite nice especially Aiba-chan’s. I believe its a dungaree, you know overalls made of demin.

I loved when they placed their hands on each other’s shoulders and swayed to the beat, mecha adorable ne. I’d watched that a few times and couldn’t stop smiling. The heartbeat moment was kawaii as well.
