Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya’s (27) upcoming drama has been voted as the show most people want to see this autumn, according to a survey carried out by music website BIG GLOBE, it has been revealed today.

Ninomiya’s drama, “フリーター、家を買う (Freeter, Ie wo Kau)” is a series based on a best-seller novel, and is the first drama the popstar has been in since “流星の絆 (Ryusei no Kizuna)” two years ago.  This, BIG GLOBE reports, is a big factor in attracting Arashi fans.

“Q10 (Cute)” ranked in second, with much attention being drawn to its fresh cast  including Takeru Sato and Atsuko Maeda from AKB48.

“医龍 Team Medical Dragon 3” ranked in third, attracting fans from its first two series.

My autumn day thoughts

14:29 JST October 6, 2010 4 comments

Hello!

So this is where I can blab on about things that I’ve been thinking of but it’s either not enough for a post or I’m not sure about the sources…that and it’s a good way to refresh my head 🙂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The post I did ages ago on Hironori Kusano (22) modeling jewelry for Cailly Coo update…

If that’s Kusano (I’m 90 per cent sure, but none of the higher powers of society have come out to confirm it for me, grrr), you can see videos and more photos of him at the six☆star website: http://sixstar.jp/

It’s a clothing brand set up by the same designer as Cailly Coo, FUKUTARO.

Go to the “Style” section where there’s a video of Kusano dancing (“Video”), studio photos (“Style vol.1”), and behind-the-scenes like photos (“Off shot”).

K-chan NEWS: October 4

The guest this week was Massu.

The pair talked about how they had just finished filming the music video to their upcoming single “Fighting Man”.

The day started at around 8am and they didn’t finish until about 1am the next morning.

They also played the single on air this week and it sounds amazing!  Very uptempo (/>v<)/  Can’t wait for November 3!

Or in my case November 9 because I’ll be on a business trip overseas during that time, ARGH!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Massu on TV with brown-red hair

On Monday night Massu was a guest on 世界まる見え!(Sekai Marumie!) and he had brownish-red hair.

It was amazing.  Like, really amazing.  Like, Massu, will-you-keep-your-hair-that-colour-for-a few-more-months amazing.

That and he got a quiz question wrong so a giant metal bowl dropped onto his head as a punishment.  It looked kind of painful, but he looked very cute in pain too.

Right, I’m refreshed.

Time to go!  Have a good day!

Toma Ikuta and Yui Ichikawa dating or not?

13:37 JST October 6, 2010 3 comments

Details about whether Toma Ikuta (25) and Yui Ichikawa (24) have been dating for the past five years remain hidden for the time being, reports Sports Hochi and Sankei News today.

Sports Hochi has reported that yesterday it was revealed Ikuta and actress Ichikawa had been dating for the past five years.

Although the two had never worked with one another, according to one source, the pair had met each other through a mutual friend.  Having begun working in the entertainment industry since they were teenagers, the two had become friends after realising they had similar goals, which in the end led to love.

The paper continues to report that the two had kept their relationship hidden in order to avoid any detrimental effects on their careers.  Only their close friends had known they were dating, and the pair had avoided being seen on dates.

Another source has said the pair had broken up at one point, but got back together shortly afterwards.

However, both Sports Hochi and Sankei News have reported that Ikuta and Ichikawa’s agencies have denied their talents are dating.

A representative from Johnny’s & Associates had told Sports Hochi they had not heard any reports about the pair’s relationship.

Similarly, a representative from Ichikawa’s talent agency had told Sankei News, “we have not heard of any such thing from her (Ichikawa)”.
