Ohno Satoshi will be participating in mini drama

by Fiona

Woot, some much Arashi-related news recently! We’re just getting spoiled, ne!

Several Johnny’s Jimusho idols will participate in a television mini-drama project on Fuji TV. Titled “0 Goushitsu no Kyaku,” the show will consist of six stories, each lasting for a month. The weekly episodes will be 15 minutes long.

The drama is set in a city hotel called Point, where there is a strange “Room 0” that can reveal one’s “grade” as a human being. Various guests with different circumstances visit the room, hoping to determine their own worth.

The first story stars Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno as a salaryman who visits the room with a kyabakura hostess, only to discover that she gets a higher grade than he does.

In the second story, Kanjani8’s Ryuhei Maruyama and Shota Yasuda play a comedy duo. Although they get along well, they can’t find success together, so they visit the room to measure themselves.

The rest of the stories will be led by Shigeaki Kato (NEWS), Shingo Murakami (Kanjani8), Keiichiro Koyama (NEWS), and Shigeru Joshima (TOKIO), in that order. Yu Yokoyama (Kanjani8) will appear throughout the entire series as the storyteller.

The project will start with Ohno’s story on October 23. Fuji TV will air the show late on Friday nights, at 1:05am.

The plot sounds quite interesting, 15 minutes of Riida goodness is always a treat. I’m going to enjoy this one. JE sure knows how wheel in the audience by using Arashi’s power. :p

Sugoi, ne!! Reaching one million sales in only 13th days, so proud and happy for them! It is is quite amazing how they keep breaking and setting new records. I hope that they have a celebration, they certainly deserve it.

SMAP managed to come out on top of the weekly charts with their newest single, “Sotto Kyutto / Superstar.” The song ended its first week with close to 105,000 in sales, overcoming the early lead taken by girl group AKB48’s “Iiwake Maybe.” The girls were not far behind at #2 for the week, with 91,000 copies sold.

For SMAP, “Sotto Kyutto” is their 11th consecutive (22nd overall) #1 single. It is also their 44th consecutive top ten single, which puts them one ahead of B’z. Ayumi Hamasaki is currently the only other artist who has released 44 top ten singles.

Three “K-On!” character singles ranked highly, occupying the #3, #5, and #6 spots. Spitz came in at #7, while abingdon boys school took #8 and Buono! took #10.

On the album charts, Arashi kept the #1 seat with their “All the BEST! 1999-2009,” which sold an additional 233,000 copies for the week. On the daily charts of August 31, in the album’s 13th day on sale, the album reached 1 million in total sales, making it Arashi’s first million-seller. It is also the first album of 2009 to break 1 million.

Acid Black Cherry’s new album charted at #2 with 78,000 copies sold. A pair of best albums by Vocaloid virtual idol Miku Hatsune ranked #4 and #5. Other new releases in the top ten were a drama CD for “Hetalia: Axis Powers” (#6), a best album by capsule (#7), a soundtrack for “PLAYZONE 2009” (#8), and a mini-album by Hiroshi Kamiya (#9).

Happy September, everyone!! peas2

I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy, still waiting since I want like to finish FFVIII first. I had started this about about three weeks ago after completing the FFVII. Probably in a few weeks or so if I’m not too busy.
