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!!

Ninomiya’s Comedian Debut in CM

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?

by Fiona

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari and actor Matsuyama Kenichi are both starring in the two-part movie “GANTZ”, scheduled for release in 2011 and a world wide airing has been made certain!

There has not been a preview until now, yet, the airing in Singapore has already been decided. Moreover, there have been requests from 13 countries all of the world with more than 45 companies’ offerings, which is about twice as much as for the hit movie “DEATH NOTE”.

What is the reason behind the great attention? One of the reasons is certainly that the manga, the movie is based on has been release for example in the USA and France is highly popular at the moment. The second reason is probably the fact that Ninomiya, who had been starring in the award-winning “Letters from Iwo Jima” and Matsuyama, who had been playing in the best-selling movie adaption of “Norwegian Wood” and “DEATH NOTE” are starring in this movie together, making it a highly valuable performance pre-hand.

A 4 minute preview of the movie has been shown at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival and Yamada Takayuki has also been set on a yet undefined role in the movie, as he is a fan of the original publication.
