Ninomiya Kazunari Feels Comfortable with Chignon in his 1st Historical Drama

by Fiona

Arashi’s member Kazunari Ninomiya, together with costars Kou Shibasaki, Kuranosuke Sasaki, and Hiroshi Tamaki attended the press conference of the movie “Ooku”. The background of the movie is set in the Edo period with the positions of man and woman reversed.

Shibasaki, who will be playing the role of a female Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, revealed her aim: “Because my role is a queen, I will try to express a kind of resolute personality.” As for Ninomiya, for whom it’s the first time to play a role in the Jidaigeki (historical TV drama), commented on his own chignon appearance with a smile: “I think it fits me very well! It’s quite comfortable.” Another noteworthy feature is that Sasaki and Tamaki had thrown themselves completely into the performance of the love scene between guys in the movie. Tamaki said: “The love scene between Mr. Kuranosuke and me started on the first shooting day. I felt a little bit weird at the beginning because female and male were reversed in the story. However, it turned out to be very smooth and I was not worried at all.” As to Sasaki, he gave the comment that “Maybe we have developed the empathy with each other. I am open to Tama-chan now.” “Yeah, we are.” agreed Tamaki, looking like “in love” with the partner. Hearing the conversation, Ninomiya was totally laughing out.

Nino certainly looks handsome, I tend to forget since he is such a brat when he’s with Arashi. Does that scene where Yoshimune-san had made Mizuno-kun look at her make you go kya~~? SUTEKI! ♥♥ Though, the camera had panned around the room too fast, I did get a glance of Tamaki-kun. He looks gorgeous of well. This is going to be one awesome movie!!

Arashi Members Speaking a Brand New Language in the New CM

by Fiona

Arashi member Sho Sakurai and Jun Matsumoto made their appearance on the CM production press conference of mobile phone brand “au” in Tokyo. When Sakurai went on the stage, he said: “*+?@^\…” something so mysterious that no one could understand. However, Matsumoto continued saying: “*+?@^\…” and kept audience’ mouths wide open. In fact, it was the “reverse word” which was reversed from the normal-ordered speaking. What Sakurai and Matsumoto just said were: “Hello everybody, this is Sakurai/Matsumoto.” Two versions of the new CM were setting in a motel, and it was the first time to say all the lines in “reverse word” in a CM. Sakurai commented: “It felt like I was speaking a foreign language. And I enjoyed the CM shooting while imaging what I was saying.” To Matsumoto, who has more lines than Sakurai in the CM, “It’s quite difficult because I had never heard about this kind of word. Sometimes it was just frustrating. But it was fun anyway.”

The new CM will be on air from May 30th. A “reverse video” will be also available on au’s official website from June 5th.
