It has been announced that KAT-TUN‘s Ueda Tatsuya will be starring in a stage play next year to be directed by Ninagawa Yukio. This is the 1st time that the KAT-TUN member will be starring in a stage play by Ninagawa. It will also be Ueda’s stage comeback since 2009′s “Romeo and Juliet”.

Written by Furukawa Hideo, “Tōmin suru kuma ni soine shite goran” tells the story of two brothers who are descendants of a bear hunter. One brother is an elite salaryman, which will be played by Ueda, while the other one is yet to be announced. The said show will showcase the unique bond between two brothers.

“I thought that Ueda-san has a strong personality that’s why I wish to work together with him sometime,” Ninagawa commented. As for Ueda, “Each day, my heart throbs with joy as the day draws near when I can work with Ninagawa. I will work as hard as possible.” Stage practice will begin on December.

The said play is part of Bunkamura‘s 25th anniversary. “Tōmin suru kuma ni soine shite goran” will run starting Jan 9th next year at Theater Cocoon in Shibuya, Tokyo and will have a continuation in Osaka Morinomiya Piloti Hall starting Feb 7th.

It's nice that Ueda gets another stage after Romeo & Juliet. Still waiting for KT group activities, I hope Koki's parents are okay :(

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)


More new releases next week (according to CDJapan listing):

Singles - DaizyStripper, 7!!, Angelo, Silent Siren, An Cafe, Kotone Mai, AMAWOZU with AMAOU, NGS365, THE DRESSCODES, amber gris, Crimson Shiva, Deeper

Albums - Neverland, okapi, Velbet, TAK-Z



Looks like it'll be 2 weeks in a row of low numbers for albums.

48 family will introduce a new event in idol world, the "Draft Conference"

$
0
0


The Kyocera Dome performances of AKB48 Group ended on the 8th, with the announcement of an audition event called “Draft Conference” at Grand Prince New Takanawa on November 10th.

According to the management, an open call for sign-ups will start in September. The pool of candidates will go through multiple evaluation rounds, and the final pool will be presented to all team captains of AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48. When a captain picks a candidate and the candidate agrees to the negotiation, then the candidate becomes a kenkyuusei of that particular team.

As for the status after being picked, at first it was announced that the candidate will become a regular member, but after the concert was over, the management issued a notice saying that was an error and the candidate will only become a kenkyuusei.

The management wants to make this event comparable to Senbatsu Sousenkyo as well as the Janken Tournament.
Just like the professional baseball draft, the candidates cannot pick where they want to go geographically. Even the venue is the same as the one used for professional baseball draft. Management is now working on rules/guidelines for the draft. 

Group-specific auditions will still be held regularly, just like how some baseball players were employed without going through the draft, or were employed as “test players”.
The captains are already meeting and discussing about what they are looking for in these candidates, such as “people that can really dance” or “people that are
really good at MC”.

Mechanics
AKB Draft will be for the public, not the member itself. It kinda works like normal audition for AKB. Like announced, the captains for each team will be able to pick their own 'new members' in their draft. These new members status will be different than the current Kenkyuusei, but they will join the Practices, Theatre performances, and such.

The Draft will go like this :
1. 12 August - 3 September -> Application Acceptance
7 - 13 September -> Candidates will be contacted
2. 14 - 16 September -> Candidates Interview
3. 21 - 23 September -> Dance and Vocal Audition
4. If the members pass the auditions, they will make their own introduction video, which will be uploaded into the Web (probably youtube)

The Draft itself will be on November 10th. This event will be open to public.

The Qualification for the applicants:
1. No Experience required
2. Girls between age 11 - 18, must not belong to any agency. Girls under 15 years old will need parents supervision.
3. Must follow all of the activities, such as daily performance on the Theatre.

Also, candidates will not be able to choose their own team. If 2 or more teams want the same candidates, it will be decided by lottery. Also, candidates will not be able to choose their own team. If 2 or more teams want the same candidates, it will be decided by lottery.

I personally think that the 48 family is now remodeling the whole fandom (maybe the whole idol world little by little) this time instead of management(which is common) the members will be the one who will select their desired trainee to train for their team. They were now seeking inborn talents and I hope they will pick talented girls instead of just cute but dull ones. Expect Matsui Rena to pick loli members

Kasumi Arimura apologizes for her leaked FRIDAY pictures

$
0

Kasumi Arimura updated her blog on the 7th with the title: "To everyone".
"I would like to apologize for causing so much trouble this time."
"I felt like voicing out my own thoughts after reading everyone's comments."
"I have given thought once again as to what I wanted to do, and what I want the other people to recognize me for; and that is acting."
"Moving forward, I would like to give more than 100% in everything that I do and strive to leave behind results."
"1 year, 2 years, 3 years from now... I hope to show everyone my progress. I hope everyone can stand by me as I try to achieve my goals. Thank you everyone, and best regards."



It's heaven and hell for her. She should have just stuck it out with Amachan.

There's no need for her to apologize.
She should just show everyone various aspects of her acting.
That will be enough.


Go nude already
























>> I can't believe she had a deep kiss with this gramps

I don't understand why people have to apologize for falling in love with someone.
It's not like she brought an in-between man with her back home.


She's 20 already, right?
She's not an idol so she's free to have a relationship.


This is without a doubt the most important phase in her life, she must have thought carefully about it.

I don't know if it's her maiden-like character, her transparency, or her pleasantness, but girls like this get the biggest backlash.

It's not like we're saying that she shouldn't have a relationship.
We just want her to concentrate at this time when it's her chance to grab that huge break of hers.
She's just too careless at this time when she's playing a sub-heroine in a morning drama.

>> The leaked pictures were actually taken even before the drama started.
No one probably would have imagined Amachan to be this huge of a hit so it was already beyond control.


I really don't get who they're apologizing to in scandals like this
>> This is a special case.
I think it's more of an apology to the fans of the Okamoto family's son instead of her small fanbase.
Her agency gives strong restrictions to these young actresses who have yet to return the investments the agency has made (no romantic relationships until you're on the level of Hirosue when the boom settled, and Erika Toda).
And that's why the manager writes an apology letter to Okamoto, distancing themselves from him.
They'll just deal with their own fans later.
Because in the showbiz world, you won't be able to receive proper jobs once Johnny's becomes your enemy.


Both Hashimoto and Arimura are fools.
They don't understand a thing.
They don't know how difficult it is to grab onto that chance they're given.



You guys were so cold against Kie Kitano, but why are you so kind to her www
That's crazy LOL


I wonder who leaked this news?
They're both talents so I don't think that this would come from either camp.


She's cute, but she never had that pure and clean image attached to her in the first place.
There's no need to apologize.

>> Most of the general public got to know her from Amachan which associates her with that pure and clean image.

If it wasn't for this scandal, she could have become Gakky and Horikita's proper successor

And the biggest let-down here is that she was with a Johnny's talent

Such a waste, she could have cemented a proper position if she just endured for another 1 or 2 years.

Why did she have to apologize?
Since she's already playing the role of a young Kyoko Koizumi, then she should also take her life as an example.
She never even hid from the public when she was scooped as she was coming out of the Checker's younger brother's house.
She never made excuses, and went on with life gallantly.

>> But that was already past her peak
>> She dated the younger brother in order to get revenge against Fumiya who ran away.
She showed off to spite him.


They won't be able to get married even if they date these Johnny's talents. Nothing good will come out of it.

She even kissed this old man in a drama. There's no need to apologize.

Luck just isn't by her side

It was actually the first time I saw Arimura because of this scandal, but she's really cute!


I feel bad for her. It seems that she was even used by the 2nd generation of Mr. Ugly for his own rise in popularity.


We would have forgiven her if she was 25.
I just hope she let us dream a bit longer since she's just 20.


The thing is, she just declared this year that "I've never dated anyone yet".
And her naivety of having such a realistic picture like that taken is just the worst.
She should have never declared that she was a virgin if she allowed a picture like that to be taken in the first place.

>> According to some insiders, those pictures were taken in March this year.
She probably didn't lie depending on when she made that comment.

>> Uh, oh. That's a boo-boo on her part.

Honestly though, it's easier to date someone like Okamoto.
The actress would just get hidden in the shadows if the partner's too much of an ikemen.



It's fine even if she has a boyfriend.
No one would even think that a cute girl like her won't have a boyfriend forever.
These angry people are all so mysterious.


She apologized because you guys are angry
>> Right.
If everyone just sent their well wishes then she didn't have to apologize.

TOKIO's Nagase Tomoya and Gouriki Ayame will be working together for the first time in the TBS autumn 2013 drama "Kurokochi" which will begin its run from October in the Fridays 10pm timeslot. The drama which is based on the same-titled manga by Richard Wu and will consist of 10 episodes, features Nagase as Kurokochi Keita, an assistant inspector in the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Criminal Department 2nd section who believes that the true criminal behind the JPY 300m robbery case in December 1968 which had passed its statute of limitations in 1975 is still out there and attempts to find whoever this is. He does not care about resorting to controversial ways to solve his cases including blackmailing politicians and demanding huge amounts of money. With the intelligence he gets, Kurokochi is able to solve many cold cases. On the other hand, Gouriki plays the role of Seike Mashiro, his colleague who's serious about her work and has a sterling record as compared to Kurokochi.

When asked during an interview in Waratte Iitomo!, Yamada Ryosuke (Hey! Say! JUMP) answered that talent agencies are keen on scouting his sisters to join the entertainment world. Yet, they are not interested. But it seems like his older sister, Yamada Chihiro (21), is ready to enter the entertainment business. She first appeared on a magazine and debuted as a model last year. She has also opened her own blog, where there are mostly fashion related posts.  You can check out her blog and more pictures HERE.

Then it was decided that next year, she'll be playing the lead role of an NHK drama titled "Himiko". Details are yet to be announced.



She's also friends with Chinen Yuri's older sister, Chinen Saya, and has posted a picture of their hang out/ meal together yesterday.
