Shingo Murakami’s soccer supporter dream comes true

Kanjani8’s Shingo Murakami talked about the soccer supporter job he had been waiting 10 years for during “朝ズバッ！ (Asa-zuba!)” on June 1.

It has been reported Murakami has been chosen as TV company TBS’s special navigator for the UEFA EURO 2012, which kicks off on June 8.

“I’d always been saying I was a soccer fan since I was in Kansai Johnny’s Jr., before Kanjani8 began.  But then (TOKIO’s) Taichi Kokubun would cover the World Cup for TBS and everything else so I never got a chance…  But you could say my dream for the past 10 years has come true, and now I can finally be a part of soccer,” Murakami said.
