Jun Matsumoto cast in TBS drama “The 19th Medical Chart”

by Fiona

Jun Matsumoto is cast in TBS drama series “The 19th Medical Chart.” The drama series is based on webcomic “19 Banme no Karte” by Katsuhito Fujiya. For Jun Matsumoto, the drama series will mark his first time playing a doctor in his 30 year acting career. Jun Matsumoto will play Akira Tokushige in “The 19th Medical Chart.” He works as a general practitioner and relies on conversations with his patients to find out what is best for them.

“The 19th Medical Chart” will first air July, 2025 in Japan (takes over TBS’ Sunday 9PM time slot after “News Anchor“).

Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Akira Tokushige (Jun Matsumoto) works as a general practitioner in a newly established general medicine department of a hospital. The specialty of general medicine is the 19th new field in Japan’s medical system, which was previously classified into 18 specialties. Doctor Akira Tokushige examines his patients and takes into account their lifestyles, home environment, and state of mind, regardless of their gender or age. His greatest weapon is not his surgical skills or his ability to detect a disease immediately, but his questioning of patients and listening to what they say. Sometimes he sees through a lie hidden behind a patient’s story. Through repeated conversations, he is able to find the best solution and lends a helping hand to their way of life.

I cannot to see this, it has been a while since I have seen a MatsuJun drama or any Japanese one. Been stuck in the K-Drama world for some time now. 😉 The drama seen interesting and it is the first time he will be a doctor, and not to mention that he has glasses.🥰I am all for nerdy and intelligent Jun, very smexy. ❤️❤️ I really hope someone will fan-sub this or maybe it will be picked up by Netflix like Nino’s Black Pean.

J-Pop Group Arashi to End Activities Next Spring

by Fiona

Tokyo, May 7 (Jiji Press)–Popular Japanese pop group Arashi has announced that it will end its activities after holding a concert tour around next spring.

According to the announcement made through the website of the group’s paid fan club on Tuesday, the fan club’s activities will also be terminated, at the end of May 2026.

The five-member male idol group is composed of Masaki Aiba, 42, Jun Matsumoto, 41, Kazunari Ninomiya, 41, Satoshi Ohno, 44, and Sho Sakurai, 43.

After its debut in 1999, Arashi released many hit songs, supported by a wide fan base. The group performed in “Kohaku Uta Gassen” (red and white song battle), the iconic year-end music show of Japan Broadcasting Corp., the country’s public broadcaster better known as NHK, for 12 years in a row.

Despite its popularity, Arashi suspended its activities as a group at the end of 2020 after holding an online concert on New Year’s eve, with leader Ohno taking a break from the show business indefinitely.

I found about this 2 days ago and took a minute to take in the news. I was not surprised and so happy that they would provide us with one final tour. I really hope that they would allow non-fan club member to purchase tickets so we, international fan, can appreciate them one final time. I am also grateful that Oh-chan decided to come out of his semi-retirement and allow Arashi be one again. It must have been difficult for him, but I am sure he is excited and finish off with a big bang.

I found this fanart on Pixiv and love it to bits, I truly think this is what they are up to:

I also agree with what ureshiiarashi on X said on this post, never put words into my mouth lol :
