Aragaki Yui to play the heroine for Ohno Satoshi’s special drama

by Fiona

It was announced that actress Aragaki Yui will play the heroine for special drama “Mou Yuukai nante Shinai” which will be aired on January 3rd on Fuji TV. As reported previously, Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi will star in the special drama.

This special drama is a comedy, based on a novel by Higashikawa Tokuya who is known as the author of “Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de”, and Aragaki will play a rich college girl whose father is the boss of racketeers named, “Hanazono Erika.” She suggests a freeter (will be played by Ohno) a fake kidnapping, and tries to chisel some money out of her father in order to pay a doctor’s fee for her half-sister (different father) who needs a kidney transplantation.

Aragaki was saying before the shoot started, “I’m nervous since Ohno-san is many-talented person, but our dialogue will be main for the drama, so I would like to enjoy it.” However, when the shoot started on the 28th, it seems like she felt little better as she said, “We (Ohno and her) started communicating with each other little by little, so I think it will be a fun drama that suits for new year.”

I’m overjoyed now and looking forward to this. The interaction between Oh-chan and Yui-san will definitely positive, I’ve heard some many wonderful stories about her.

This will be Ohno’s first solo starring role in a movie. Besides him, the show’s main cast will reprise their roles, including Norito Yashima, Ryuhei Ueshima, Choi Hong Man, Takeshi Kaga, Masahiro Matsuoka (TOKIO), Izumi Inamori, Umika Kawashima, and Tatsuomi Hamada. Of course, new characters will be added as well, including an original villain.

Filming will begin this month, and some scenes will be shot in southeast Asia as the story involves Kaibutsu-kun and his friends going on an adventure to a fictional country.

Production is aiming to finish around October. Although an exact release date has not yet been set, various sources are reporting that the film will either be released around Christmas or the New Year holiday season.

Isn’t this a nice little surprise? Oh-chan finally will star in his own movie, cannot wait to see! He is probably the only 30 year old idol that can play such an extremely cute 10 year old. I wonder if themesong will be performed by Arashi as well.

Ohno Satoshi stars in Arashi’s fourth Hitachi commercial

by Fiona

Arashi leader Satoshi Ohno (29) was all about fishing when it came to shooting his new commercial for Hitachi’s drum type washer and dryer, reports Oricon today.

The group have been promoting Hitachi home appliances this year, with each member appearing in their own commercial with one appliance. To date Masaki Aiba (27) has been advertising washing machines, Sho Sakurai (28) vacuum cleaners, and Kazunari Ninomiya (27) refrigerators.

Ohno’s commercial takes place in an apartment, where the Arashi leader is relaxing on his day off by reading fishing magazines. As he starts fixing and polishing up his fishing gear, he notices the invitation to a friend’s wedding stuck on the wall. Realizing that today is the wedding day, Ohno gasps out, “Shoot! It’s going to start,” throws on a shirt from the washer dryer and runs out the door.

As a self-proclaimed fishing enthusiast, it has been reported Ohno paid a lot of attention to the fishing gear used on set. Enough so that even after the director had called cut during a scene, Ohno had continued to read the fishing magazine.

“I want go fishing…,” Ohno said.

For the latter part of the shoot, it has been reported Ohno had trouble putting his shirt on in a hurry.

The singer had trouble doing up his buttons properly, or his collar was not straight. After three tries and commenting, “this is hard,” the Arashi leader got the needed shot.

Ohno’s new commercial for Hitachi’s ヒートリサイクル　風アイロン　ビッグドラム (Heat Recycle Kaze-iron Big Drum) washer and dryer is set to go on air in Japan from October 16.
