Ninomiya Kazunari to be starring in new drama special

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!

Ninomiya Kazunari’s solo, Kako

Nino’s ever-popular solo, Kako or Konseki, is my most favorite among his songs. It was composed and written by him, and sung during Arashi’s Iza, Now Tour in 2004. It’s such a beautiful yet lonely and sad song. Found a nice English translation by a fan on Youtube and wanted to share.

Woohoo! Ninomiya Kazunari to be starring in a new TBS drama titled, Ryusei no Kizuna (literally translated: Meteor Bond), will be aired on 10/17/2008. The story is based on a popular mystery novel by Higashino Keigo, which was published in March 5th, 2008.

14年後、彼らが仕掛けた復讐計画の最大の誤算は、妹の恋心だった.
14 years later, their biggest miscount in their revenge plan is, their sister’s love.

The storyline revolves three siblings who lose their parents to a murderer and subsequently become a team of swindlers to get revenge against the killer.

I’m exploding with excitement now, have been on a Nino mode since watching Yamada Taro Monogatari last week. His acting is brilliant, ne. :] The storyline is quite intriguing and appears to be focusing on sibling bond. Definitely looking forward!

The clip is quite short, but looks good so far!
