Ohoku’s themesong and extended trailer

by Fiona

Japanese film “Oooku” has just selected Arashi’s song “Dear Snow” to be the theme song for the film. This is not surprising due to the main actor in the film being Arashi’s own Ninomiya Kazunari, but is great news for Arashi fans none the less.

The film is about an alternate universe Japan in the Edo era where all of the male population is affected with a mysterious disease that forces the society to become matriarchal. Based on the manga of the same name, it draws upon aspects of gender role reversals to make a stunning semi-historical drama. Nino will be starring opposite female lead Kou Shibasaki.

At the present time no more details about “Dear Snow” being in the film are known. Arashi’s new album “Boku no Miteiru Fuukei” will be released on August 4th, but “Dear Snow” is not confirmed as a track on the album at this time.

What a nice surprise! I was certain that the themesong would be performed by another artist. There are no complaints though. I’m really curious to see what the song will be, I’m sure the lyrics will be something very meaningful.

LOL This adaption certainly looks brilliant along with its stunning cast, I really wish that October will arrive soon! **Reminds self to finish reading the two volumes of the manga that are laying the shelf.

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!!

by Fiona

Kazunari Ninomiya, the member of Arashi, has played the role as a comedian in the new CM of the credit card brand “JCB”. Making the debut as a comedian, Ninomiya said: “It’s quite fresh to me to come on the stage with all audience clapping their hands.”

In the CM, Ninomiya was about to buy a cap by using his credit card, but it was tore up as soon as he wanted to put it on his head, and he got laughed by passersby. And a talent scout happened to find him and helped him to make his comedian debut, after which Japanese economy showed signs of an upturn. In the end Ninomiya was watching TV at home and murmured: “Maybe the economy is getting better.” here came the message of the CM “Shopping saves the world.”

In addition, Ninomiya’s partner in the CM was Masaya Handa, the member of the comic duo French Toasters, with whom Ninomiya finished the scene of comic dialogue skillfully and smoothly by saying: “Please push it hard!” and finally he commented: “There were so many things I had never done. The shooting was really interesting. I believe it will be a good work.”

The CMs can be viewed on the official website here.

Nino is super busy now-in-days ne. I went LOL when I read the article, the Arashi’s most stingiest member is endorsing a credit card. Neener ≠ spending, I would think Jun-kun or Sho-chan would be better choices. However, I have no complaints, we always love new CMs ne. Maybe in the future our Prankster-san will receive an offer from a bank or something similar, he can then show us the true meaning of saving. LOL Doesn’t he look adore with his little hat?
