Ninomiya Kazunari chosen as new CM character for “Pocky”

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari has been chosen as the new image character for the chocolate snack, “Pocky“, and will be appearing in their CM starting September 20th. In the CM, Ninomiya dances to hip-hop artist MC Hammer’s signature song, “U Can’t Touch This“.

The CM comes in two versions: ‘Drink & Po’ episode, and ‘ALL’ episode. In the ‘Drink & Po’ episode, Ninomiya appears in black from head-to-toe, along with five backup dancers. He holds one pocky in each hand, and dances while bending his knees. Then, he holds a glass cup and pocky, and uses the pocky as a stir stick as a result of mishearing the lyrics, “Can’t touch this“, as “Chanto aundesu (It matches perfectly)“.

Meanwhile, in the ‘All’ episode, the backup dancers wear 12 different outfits that match each situation, such as ‘New Years’, ‘karaoke’, ’shaved ice’, and ‘beach’. Then, Ninomiya shows that pocky is a great match for various situations.

Check out a short ‘Drink & Po’ version of the CM below!

MatsuJun's love crisis! (another update on Kou x Jun)

Matsumoto Jun (28) is facing the biggest pinch in the entertainment industry ever since his debut in Arashi 12 years ago! Right now he’s having some problems with his relationship with Kou Shibasaki (30). According to an inside source, a commercial broadcasting official: “a Johnny executive called up Matsumoto to question the truth about his relationship with Shibasaki and ordered him to break up with her. Matsumoto however will not bow down to that order.”

The two met on the set of the special FujiTV drama ‘Wagaya no Rekishi’ that was aired last year, where they both acted as siblings. Their relationship started from there.

The insider also said that: “Shibasaki was the one who pursued him in the first place, asking for his mobile address. She is notorious for dating guys and dumping them later; however it’s unfortunate that Matsumoto fell for her.”

“Shibasaki has also been often caught on camera hanging out with ex-boyfriend TAKUYA from Uverworld, because she was turned off by Matsumoto’s inability to take charge. She meets up with TAKUYA behind his back.”

Then there’s the whole issue about following the orders of the Johnny executives, apparently it is not wise to disobey them. Mori Katsuyuki, a former member of SMAP who touched the imperial wrath of the office when he went to obtain a motorcycle racing license without permission, was forced to leave the group in 1996. In short, disobeying orders are absolutely not allowed, even though Matsumoto’s in the currently popular Arashi.

“There are rumors that TAKUYA Uverworld and Shibasaki Kou might be getting back together. Therefore, Matsumoto has to choose between love and work.”

Earlier this year, Weekly Jitsuwa revealed that compromising photographs of 18-19 years-old Shibasaki and an ex-boyfriend in bed were published right before her drama ‘Diplomat Kuroda Kousaku’ was aired. There were rumors that the purpose of the publication was to break their relationship. However, Matsumoto is still not planning to break up with Shibasaki anytime soon even though higher officials have ordered him to do so.
