Matsumoto Jun to be starring in spring drama!!

by Fiona

CHO excited!!! It’s been finally confirmed that our beloved Jun-kun will be starring in a TBS drama titled,  Smile (スマイル). It will be airing on Fridays at 10pm, starting in April. The story revolves around a Filipinos-Japanese guy named Bito/Vito, which Jun-kun will portray. He will meet and fall in love with an aphonic girl named Hana, played by Aragaki Yui (**haven’t seen any of her dramas, but have read good reviews about her). The screenwriter is to other than the infamous Satake Mikio, who has scripted Utahime and Hana Yori Dango.

Ninomiya Kazunari to be starring in new drama special

by Fiona

Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya is starring in a TBS drama special called “DOOR TO DOOR.” This is the third and last in the network’s “kandou drama” series, which includes last year’s “Marathon” and 2006’s “Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekita Kana.” Ninomiya also starred in those two specials.

These dramas are based on true stories about young men overcoming illnesses. “DOOR TO DOOR” is inspired by Bill Porter, an American door-to-door salesman who achieved the highest sales for his company despite suffering from cerebral palsy. In the U.S., Porter’s story became a successful book, and it was turned into an Emmy-nominated made-for-TV movie on the TNT network in 2002.

TBS’s version of “DOOR TO DOOR” is set in Japan, with Ninomiya playing the lead as a man named Hideo Kurasawa. His supporting cast includes Kanako Higuchi as his mother and Rosa Kato as a co-worker. Filming started on Sunday. TBS will air the drama on March 29 at 9:00pm.

Really excited!! Nino is such as talented actor, he will definitely do well in this drama.

On a side note, there hasn’t been news regarding Jun-kun starring in any drama or movies, miss him a bunch on the small screen. Hopefully, there will be something soon.

UPDATE: The English subs for this special has been completed by the awesome STORMY Team. Thank you soooo much for your hardwork!

Uta no Oniisan Opening Theme

by Fiona

Just saw the opening for Oh-chan’s new drama, Uta no Oniisan. The song is full of cuteness and plenty of smiles. I haven’t gotten a chance to watch the first episode yet, still watching for a kind soul to be the subbing. What I really want to see is Oh-chan dancing to a nursery rhyme!
