Matsumoto Jun – Wagaya no Rekishi’s CM

by Fiona


So excited!!! The official CM has been aired for Jun-kun’s drama special. It looks very interesting and more of a comedy than I had previously predicted. Jun-kun looks so young with that haircut ne. The style is not as bad as everyone was been babbling about, it does fit the era. Definitely looking forward to this!

Ohno Satoshi to Star in Live-Action Kaibutsu-kun

by Fiona

The Sankei Sports newspaper reports that Arashi band member Satoshi Ohno will star in a live-action television adaptation of Fujiko Fujio A’s Kaibutsu-kun supernatural action manga this April. The story follows the prince of Kaibutsu Land, Kaibutsu-kun, as he decides to go to the human world as part of his training to become the king. Fujiko Fujio A is best known for co-creating the classic manga Doraemon.

The new series, which is the first live-action adaptation of the manga after two animated series, will run on the NTV network. The production will use computer graphics and special makeup to transform Ohno into a kaibutsu (monster).

The original manga ran in Shonen Gahosha’s Shonen Gaho magazine from 1965 and 1969. Later incarnations ran in Shonen Gahosha’s Weekly Shonen King (1967-1969) and Shogakukan’s CoroCoro Comic (1980-1982). Tokyo Movie Shinsha animated the story into a 1968-1969 television series and Shin’ei Doga animated a remake from 1980 to 1982. There was also an anime film in 1981.

I’m wondering if this will be a crack comedy?! I found this pretty amusing and unexpected, but will definitely check it out since it’s Oh-chan. I had watched the anime sometime ago, which was quite hilarious. Riida will do wonders to the role without a doubt, he’s such a natural when it comes to acting.

by Fiona

Here’s the full version of Sora Takaku, themesong to Saigo no Yakusoku’s which had starred all five of our boys:

This definitely caught me by surprise, wasn’t expecting an upbeat song, maybe something along the lines of dark and sexy like Truth. But I have no complaints, Sora Takaku is a very good song. As always, the Sakurap is awesome and the lyrics represent so many things, which Jun-kun had previously pointed out. The Kanji, Romanji and English lyrics can be found here. I enjoy it even more after reading them!

…and here’s Troublemaker, themesong to Sho-kun’s drama – Tokujo Kabachi!!:

Are you ready~? Loving it so far, the beat is so energetic, I could listen to this the entire day! The lyrics can be found here.
