Matsumoto Jun – To be starring in a new drama special for 24HourTV

by Fiona

Some exciting news! Yay!! It has been announced Jun-kun will be starring in a drama special for the 24 hour tv. I’ve been waiting to see him in a drama for a while now (something besides a manga character role), soo happy this has been confirmed.

The title of the special is Myuu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru (I will give papa Myuu’s legs). It is based on a true story of 25 year old (Yamaguchi Hayato), his wife and 2 year old daughter, Myuu.

The wife role will be portrayed by Karina; this will be her 2nd time co-starring along side with Jun-kun, the first was in Bambino.

Yamaguchi is a patient who Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). This illness is incurable and affects every one in a 100,000. More info can be found here.

This might be a very challenging role for Jun-kun, since CIDP is quite chronical. From my readings, as it progressively, the patient would be immobile both in the arms and legs. He may also experience breathing problem. Quite a sad drama, suits well for the 24 Hour TV theme.

Jun-kun is an incredible and versatile actor, I am sure this will be one awesome, tear-jerking drama!  I wonder where in the world he find time to film this, isn’t he on a HYD Final promo tour now? Poor thing needs to get some rest, ganbatte Jun-kun! Definitely looking forward to the performance.

Myuu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru to be aired on August 30th. Yay, Jun-kun’s birthday!!

Maou Themesong and Opening

by Fiona

Truth sung by Arashi is the perfect themesong for Maou. Honestly, I was skeptical (shame on me :P) when the song was first heard at the Maou press conference. I know it was only a very, very small fragment of it; thought it had sounded so upbeat and cheerful, however, I was quite wrong. The darkly intensity and the amazing, sexy vocals will get one addicted, leaving a deeper impression. It also feels unique compared to previous Arashi songs; cannot wait for the full version to be released.

The opening was awesome, and so nicely packaged with the dark and evil Ohno.

Ohno Satoshi – Maou News

by Fiona

Found a clip on Youtube regarding Maou’s news conference, Ohno looks great! I’m quite psyched about the series, it’s only a few days away, YAY! What I found interesting was that one of the actresses had refer Ohno has being a member of V6. Ohno from V6, definitely NO! I find it quite hard to believe that someone residing in Japan is sooo dead to Arashi. That woman will be on many hit lists soon, ne? LOL Love Ohno’s expression when she made the mistake, certainly priceless and kawaii. The background music was good too, wonders if it is the Maou’s themesong, Truth.
