Matsumoto Jun – To be starring in a new drama special for 24HourTV

by Fiona

Some exciting news! Yay!! It has been announced Jun-kun will be starring in a drama special for the 24 hour tv. I’ve been waiting to see him in a drama for a while now (something besides a manga character role), soo happy this has been confirmed.

The title of the special is Myuu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru (I will give papa Myuu’s legs). It is based on a true story of 25 year old (Yamaguchi Hayato), his wife and 2 year old daughter, Myuu.

The wife role will be portrayed by Karina; this will be her 2nd time co-starring along side with Jun-kun, the first was in Bambino.

Yamaguchi is a patient who Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). This illness is incurable and affects every one in a 100,000. More info can be found here.

This might be a very challenging role for Jun-kun, since CIDP is quite chronical. From my readings, as it progressively, the patient would be immobile both in the arms and legs. He may also experience breathing problem. Quite a sad drama, suits well for the 24 Hour TV theme.

Jun-kun is an incredible and versatile actor, I am sure this will be one awesome, tear-jerking drama!  I wonder where in the world he find time to film this, isn’t he on a HYD Final promo tour now? Poor thing needs to get some rest, ganbatte Jun-kun! Definitely looking forward to the performance.

Myuu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru to be aired on August 30th. Yay, Jun-kun’s birthday!!

Maou Themesong and Opening

by Fiona

Truth sung by Arashi is the perfect themesong for Maou. Honestly, I was skeptical (shame on me :P) when the song was first heard at the Maou press conference. I know it was only a very, very small fragment of it; thought it had sounded so upbeat and cheerful, however, I was quite wrong. The darkly intensity and the amazing, sexy vocals will get one addicted, leaving a deeper impression. It also feels unique compared to previous Arashi songs; cannot wait for the full version to be released.

The opening was awesome, and so nicely packaged with the dark and evil Ohno.

Arashi – Re-release of older photobooks

by Fiona

Jumping with joy at the moment :D. Been dying to obtain a copy of the 2006 Arashi in Asia Photobook for ages now, searched high and low – price was either too expensive or shipping for overboard. **I am not going to paid $50+ for the book and another $30 for the shipping, that’s too rich for my blood.** The re-release of the older photobooks makes me mentally and financially happy :D. YAY, they even have Ohno’s Freestyle book on sale!!

Below are the ones listed at Yesasia:

Prices are between $28 to $29, release on Sept 20, less than a month after Arashi is Alive!

Just moments ago, the faded clicks of my mouse would have been heard as the books were preordered via the Yesasia website :D. Frankly, I am quite content with just ordering the Arashi Around Asia and the Ohno Satoshi – Freestyle ones. Not finding a craving for the another ones yet; three Arashi photobooks (along with the new 2008 Arashi is Alive) in September is more than enough. Hehe…well, maybe for the time being.
