The theme of the drama is “Bond” and it is a suspense drama that 5 people accidentaly meet as hostages of the huge building and fight against a terrorist. The latest costarring of 5 members was “Vの嵐/V no arashi,” a mini-drama in 1999. Here are the members’ comments.

大野/Ohno:
“The experiences of our 10 years will be helpful on acting”

櫻井/Sakurai:
“It has been 10 years since 5 of us all appeared on the same drama. It is really happy to come back Fuji Television again. We will face against a terrorist because we are at the same building. The drama will have tensions and we hope to show different sides of ourselves.”

相葉/Aiba:
“When we debuted, we did the drama together, so it feels like I’m home!”

二宮/Ninomiya:
“We did different things and hope to bring them together for this drama. We hope you to enjoy ‘Arashi.'”

松本/Matsumoto:
“I am a bit embarrassed…(laugh), but I am looking forward to the day the five of us film together. (laugh) The script is great, and all the awesome staffs and actors…It will be the best drama for the new upcoming spring.”

The special 10th anniversary year! Arashi did the national dorm tour starting from Kokuritsu Kyogijyo concerts in August, 3 days straight for the first time in history. The DVD released on 28th of last month, “All the BEST! 1999-2009” marked 500,000 sales, also first time in history of music DVD market. Arashi will never stop and nobody can stop them. 2010 seems to be Arashi’s year again with their new drama in spring.

I’m CHO excited now, I’m sure minna-san is too! Didn’t believe it at first and had to read the article twice to double-check…hehe. The plot is intriguing so far and love the suspense aspect, I’ve been a fan of this genre since a girl. Just wondering how long the special will be, a single 3-hour one or several episodes. Also, who will portray the terrorists? I’ve a got a list in mind lol, wouldn’t it be nice if a senpai was casted for this role? We’ll just have to wait and see!

Riida has become much fairer now-in-day, somehow his Maou aura reeks in that poster. lol I wonder if Jun-kun was embarrassed for being shirt-less at the photoshoot or being in the drama with the other members…hehe.

Arashi is going to tremendously busy this coming year, there is already so much lined-up for them. Ganbatte ne!!

Definitely wonderful news, the story appears to be interesting. I wonder if there will be any romance between Sho-kun’s and Horikita Maki’s characters. My gut feelings says no, but all is good. I had seen Nobuta wo Produce and really like Maki-san’s acting. Definitely looking forward to this and Sho-kun in lawyer-mode…maybe a few smexy suits too!

Nodame Cantabile – The Movie Trailer

MUKYAAA~~~ This trailer was simply amazing, just cannot wait to see it. I guess they started filming right after Tamaki-kun finished his other movies, he does look quite thin here, but still handsome. Juri-chan is becoming more and more beautiful each time I see her. Love the scene where Nodame bites Chiaki, I think she had fangs LOL.
