Sakurai Sho and Miyazaki Aoi attend stage greeting for new movie, ‘Kamisama no Karute’

On August 27th, Arashi’s Sakurai Sho and actress Miyazaki Aoi attended a stage greeting event for their new movie, ‘Kamisama no Karute‘, along with their other cast members.

Sakurai commented, “I’m very happy that everyone will finally get to see this film which holds a lot of memories and love in it. I’m very happy right now.” Miyazaki reflected, “It’s been a year since we filmed this movie and I’m relieved that we were able to reach this day. I’m very happy, but at the same time, I feel a bit sad that the film we’ve worked so hard on is leaving our hands.”

Harada Taizo, who played the landlord of Sakurai and Miyazaki’s apartment, also made an appearance. He commented, “I didn’t take one step outside of Mitake-so (the name of the apartment). I was always with Okada Yoshinori and Sakurai, so it was fun talking to them about different things. It’s a very special place for me.”

The MC of the event mentioned that Sakurai took on over 100 interviews for this film. Sakurai quipped, “Interviews with one hundred times the energy? I had thought I did the interviews calmly...”, showing off his loopy side by misunderstanding  the MC’s comment.

Harada Taizo, Okada Yoshinori, Kaga Mariko, and director Fukagawa Yoshihiro  also attended the stage greeting.

‘Kamisama no Karute’ hits theaters on August 27th.

I think we have the perfect man for this modern detective butler.”

Meanwhile, Sakurai revealed that he already read the novel before he received the offer, and that he is looking forward to the drama adaption himself. He said, “The conversations were incredibly thrilling and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It feels like the drama is going to be even more humorous than the original. I’m excited about this and will work hard to make it a drama you are going to look forward to every Tuesday at 9pm.”

Arashi’s Sakurai Sho is a heavy smoker?

On August 6th, Arashi’s Sakurai Sho stayed at a hotel for work in Iwanaicho, Hokkaido. After he checked out, a woman said to be a hotel worker uploaded a photo of two can ‘chuhais’ and cigarettes that was left on the room’s desk, causing an uproar on the internet.

The controversy started when the woman tweeted, “Oh my gosh. Sakurai Sho-kun stayed at my hotel, and I am now going to the room he stayed in.” Her friend asked, “I want an empty can that Sakurai-san used,” to which the woman replied, “I kept a PET bottle, so I’ll bring it the next time we meet.”

After that, the woman reported that she had rested her head on the pillow that still had some hairs from Sakurai’s head, and commented, “I ‘hshs’ the towel he used.” The term ‘hshs‘ is used on the internet  to emulate the breathing sound that one makes when sniffing something.

Replying to the tweets, people criticized the woman saying, “This is improper behavior for a hotel worker!” At the end of the day, the tweets were deleted, but it was too late. Of course, Sakurai is the victim, but because of the photo containing 5 or 6 cigarette butts, some fans have already labeled him as a ‘heavy smoker’.

Staff from TV stations commented, “Arashi is Johnny’s moneymaker, and above all, Sakurai-san has a clean image. The unexpected smoking scandal has made the agency nervous.”

Meanwhile, Johnny’s Entertainment explained, “That room was the manager’s room,” arguing that it was the manager who had smoked the cigarettes.

In response, a certain person related to the music industry revealed, “No no, Sakurai-san is the heaviest smoker in Arashi. About a year ago, I met him in the smoking area at NHK, and he smoked one after another. I don’t know if it’s from stress, but perhaps he’s at the stage of a chain smoker? Lately, there’s a rumor going around that he is aging quickly from smoking too much cigarettes.”

p/s~~ i dunno its this true or not but as long as he know how to control his smoking habits...then its not a big deal for me~~ sho-chan..ganbatte!!!!!

“Freeter” drama to get a drama special this fall

Finally minna!!!!! after a long wait for Arashi's member drama now Kazunari Ninomiya will make our dream comes true!!!! even though its just SP drama...but i guess it will satisfy everyone~~ here's the full news..^_^

Fuji TV’s drama “Freeter, Ie o Kau.“, that aired during the fall season of 2010, will come back with a special drama this fall!

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari and actress Karina starred in the family drama that moved so many viewers in Japan, receiving so much sympathy across the nation. In the drama, ‘Seiji‘ (Ninomiya) lead a life as a freeter, depending on one part-time job after another, but things changed once he met ‘Manami‘ (Karina) at a construction side. He realized the importance of the bonds within your family and started to value his work.

The enjoyable love story mixed with a widespread problem of the Japanese society enjoyed a high popularity, resulting in an average viewer-rating of 17.1%. The last episode, where he finally obtained the new home for his family, even achieved 19.2%.

The special drama will follow his life in their new home, one year after the events in the drama. Seiji is still attached to his work and he is still in love with Manami.

Ninomiya commented, “The new home was bought in the drama, therefore I already thought the story wouldn’t continue. I’m grateful that I will be able to work together with everyone again and will put all my effort into this special drama.”

Karina is just as zealous and said, “I’d like to treat each and every line with the utmost care.”

The producer and writer who created the original story will once again work together for the special drama. Looking back at their recent success with “Marumo no Okite“, starring child actress Ashida Mana, this team has proven they can create really touching, entertaining and original stories.

An actual airing date for the special drama has yet to be announced.
