Morning Musume on Music Station!
This is Morning Musume's first performance on Music Station with the new Morning Musume members. They performed "Happy Summer Wedding", and their current single "Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke".
The girls sounded great, except for Riho who is currently recovering from a cold. Overall, a pretty good performance despite lacking in some places. I'm a very proud fan!

Jin says his encounter with Meisa was due to fate (Japan's power couple AKAKURO strikes back!)

One of those is the confirmation that his marriage with Meisa Kuroki was not a shot gun marriage and that he proposed to her even before they found out that she’s pregnant. He also mentioned that meeting her was a work of fate. The reports also say that he created a song for their baby girl, Theia.
On another note, he added: "My fans are really something. A lot of things have happened, and who knows what will happen in the future... No matter what I will definitely come back. Rest assured, please continue to be a fan of mine with confidence".
A bunch of fans who attended the event said that this is a Jin who is comfortable in his own skin, happy, content, proud of his work, and very happy.

Gatchaman live action movie score given by critic Yuichi Maeda: 4/100 wwwwww

Summary of Yuichi Maeda's review
* Praised the '70s anime for the cool characters, stylish highlight scenes, and passionate theme song. He also commended the anime for tackling social issues despite being a children's anime.
* Live action adaptation does not reflect the essence of Gatchaman and felt like a declaration of war towards the original version.
* Gatchaman has a radical ideology, where they would even neglect the lives of 10 million people for the sake of saving a single person.
* 40% of the movie consisted of the hero's childish logics, while the remaining 60% revolved around Gouriki's character JUN's illicit love towards Matsuzaka's character KEN.
* JUN felt like this character who only thinks about how she could score with KEN.
* The movie feels like it's for the audience to enjoy Gouriki's one-man love comedy skits.
* JUN has a terrible character, speaking ill of KEN's late girlfriend and dissing the nice and cool suits that they get to wear.
* Your children who will go watch the movie with you might ask you, "Why are those people just talking about women and aren't even setting out to war?"
* The biggest complaint here is why don't they just trash the internal discord within the group, and go hurry up and save the world.
* The scriptwriting is a mess. There's no end to the criticisms that can be made. The viewers will be left with nothing but questions, and despite all of this, the movie hinted that there will be a sequel.
This made me LOL a bit
It's not Gatchaman, but Gatchamyaaaaan, got it?
So 60% of it is Gouriki? What kind of torture is this...
Japanese movies like this essentially stop once they announce that it will be undergoing production and once they are provided with budget.
Creating the actual movie is like a bonus.
60% is Ms. Gori-oshi? LOL
They probably weren't serious about making this movie from the moment they cast Gouriki in it.
The law of Gouriki
I'm actually concerned about the 4 points he gave. What did he find good in it? No matter how bad a movie may be, people will still say good things like, "The CG was good" or "The music was well done", but 4 points?
>> It's the suits w
>> He did write that they wore nice and cool costumes.
That's why just shut up and watch Pacific Rim.
So it just turned into Gouriki's love comedy, huh.
I'm not from the Gatchaman generation anyway, so I'll just sit back and enjoy the complaints of the fans.
It seems that there's something wrong with the script based on this review.
Please do your best and surpass Devilman w

60% Gouriki? (´・ω・` )
Yatterman was also hard to watch.
This is probably what you get if you let a commoner do the adaptation.
Oh, it's Gouriki-san who makes sure to butcher every original story adaptation she does.
It was actually really good, is there something wrong with me? As an entertainment piece, I think it's above the passing mark.
Rather, just how good of a movie do you guys want? This isn't Da Vinci's code, you know.
Well, there are people who make a living off finding faults in every piece of work. Just don't get influenced too much by people like those.
>> Pffffttt www
Oh my, what do we have here w
>> Can you list the other movies that you liked?
Also include which parts you found interesting.
>> It's not that I'm saying anything about what you like, but don't think that everyone agrees with your taste.
>> Hint: Read it vertically.
(*The first three letters of the 3 sentences read as (すてま)"Sutema" which means "Stealth Marketing". In other words, >>56 is implying that the reviewer is actually giving the movie negative press so that the readers will become more curious about the movie)
But this site "Chou Eiga Hihan" just finds fault in almost everything.
I did feel this was heading towards the wrong direction from the moment I saw the design of the suits.

There's no escaping Ayame Gouriki.
This reviewer has a habit of giving low scores to live action adaptations of anime.
You can add +10 points to the total.
>> So you mean 4/110, huh...
Gouriki: "Well then, maybe I should go and destroy Patlabor next."

>> The god of destruction
>> I'm serious, please stop it already...
>> No thank you.
You'd be better off watching Pacific Rim instead of using JPY 1,800 on this.
It's full of passion! It's got the Japanese anime spirit in it.
I honestly can't remember an old anime that has a character that looks like Gouriki.
What do they keep in mind when doing this?
As expected of Gouriki-san.
She's really consistent when it comes to destroying all these original stories.
The one SMAP did for a commercial once upon a time was much, much cooler.
The helmets and the headset-like objects were uncool.
No, they actually are, but they just didn't look good here.
This article actually made me more interested in watching the movie.

Fanboy: I saw you went to abroad so it makes me want to go there
Jin: I'm so glad that someone interested in English because of me
Fanboy: I also went to abroad too.
Jin: Eh? You did?
Fanboy: Yup, last year
Jin: That's good! for the type of people I'm interested in...
Jin:.. I like people and I like to talk to them too. Whenever I can speak, I try to speak more English with other people I meet.

HKT48 Team H New (and first) Theater Stage on Dec 22,2013
Here is the teaser
For those who doesn't know what Team Stages is;
Each show is performed by one of the three teams or by Team Kenkyuusei, a selection of kenkyuusei members. They perform a setlist that remains the same for several months before moving on to a new setlist. T
The opening date of a stage is called shonichi, and the closing date is called senshuuraku.
All stages start out with the overture, a track that plays at several of AKB's performances that basically serves to get the crowd pumped up. In stages A6, K6, and B5, the performances also started out with a song by Zenza Girls, a group of one to four featured kenkyuusei members.
After the overture, the full team comes out on stage and perform three or four full-group songs. Then is the first MC, when each member introduces herself and chats a bit.
After the MC are the unit songs, in which the teams are further broken down into smaller segments of one to six members. The unit songs usually showcase whatever member is the "center" of that unit, who is one of the more popular members of the team. There are usually five unit songs, then the team reconvenes for another MC and more group songs.
There is always an encore at the end of the stage, with more group songs, peformances of recent singles, and announcements. If it is a member's birthday performance, they will bring her a cake, sing for her, and have a letter read to them by another teammate. Then the team takes the final bow together.
Stage songs are said to be the secret weapon of the 48 family in the music industry as each songs has different genres like ballad, rock, pop, punk etc and it is being performed by full team or an individual members giving chances to non popular members to be exposed to fans.

Morning Musume 12th Gen Auditions Finished, No Winners Announced
Tsunku declares today that there are no qualified candidates for the 12th gen audition “Mirai Shoujo”. Based on the theme and name “Mirai Shoujo” (girl of the future) Tsunku was looking for a super star to add to the group. However, the performance level of Morning Musume is so high right now that he does not feel it would be appropriate to add anyone into the group at this time. Tsunku also will not be adding anyone from H!P kenshuusei at this time. He does not feel comfortable inserting a new girl into this current lineup. However, that does not mean that the talent and skill level of this group of girls were low. To the contrary, Tsunku feels that he saw many girls who were able to shine throughout the audition. He believes they have plenty of talent, but it just quite isn’t enough to join the group.
He adds that had these girls auditioned at the same time as the 9th gen audition, he would have let them in the group. He feels there are a lot of girls with potential. He does not mean any disrespect toward 9th gen with this statement. He states that since 9th gen joined, they have improved to the point where the current Morning Musume is at the highest level of skill in all of MM history.
Tsunku believes that the potential candidates from this past audition are like raw diamond ores. He is very excited to see what will come of proper refinement. As such, he has invited all of the girls he saw potential in to join H!P kenshuusei to gain more experience. He hopes to unveil them when the proper timing comes along.
In regards to 12th gen audition, he plans to hold another audition again. Essentially re-do 12th gen audition, it will not be considered 13th gen. He also states that he has a lot of things on his mind for the future of H!P – including a new group which could potentially be filled with the girls from this audition. Tsunku has a very positive outlook on everything and hopes you guys will look forward to whats coming next.

Charges on GACKT's alleged rape case dropped as he is deemed innocent
GACKT was found innocent after the police have finished their investigations following allegations made by a woman in her 20s of rape and indecent assault .
The Metropolitan Police Department submitted documents to the the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office stating that GACKT is "not guilty", and will not be prosecuted on this event.
According to police reports, the woman claimed that GACKT got her drunk in September of 2011, forced her to get in a car and committed obscene acts on her. GACKT then took her to his house and made violent advances towards her.
Aside from gathering the testimonies of both parties, police investigators went to the restaurant the two visited. While finding out that GACKT and the woman indeed had dinner, and headed to his house afterwards, they concluded that there was no "objective evidence" that GACKT did commit such acts in the car and in his house.
The woman only decided to officially press charges on GACKT in April this year. Upon investigation, the police sent a report to the Prosecutor's Office in late June of this year, indicating that GACKT is not guilty.
This case was made public in May of this year after a weekly tabloid published an article based on the allegations made by the woman. GACKT answered to this, claiming that he did invite the woman to his house, but did not commit any kind of violence on her.
GACKT's agency responded to inquiries made by Sankei Newspaper and comments: "He was bothered by this, but he now feels relieved. His lawyers will be taking over the rest, and GACKT will not be commenting any further on the matter".

Details surface about the man Keiko Fuji was living with

Journalists gathered at Meguro-ku's Himonya mortuary where Keiko Fuji's body rests two days after the singer committed suicide [sic]by jumping off a high-rise apartment in Nishi Shinjuku on the 24th.
Around 50 members of the press were at the venue, but Hikaru Utada still had not shown herself yet. She is thought to be currently in New York, USA.
At 2 pm, a staff member of Himonya explains: "There was no development today. Her family? No one from her family came today". The gates of the funeral hall closed at 5 in the afternoon as the place went silent. Fuji's body is currently being preserved frozen as they wait for Hikaru's return to Japan. The body will be cremated afterwards.
Details surfaced this day concerning her acquaintance, a man in his 30s whom she had been living with in the said apartment for the past 6 years.
A woman in her 70s who resides nearby says: "They were not romantically involved. She was already old enough to be his mother after all. He was looking after Fuji-san in the unit".
Fuji trusted the man, who was also her former manager, as if he was part of her family. There are also reports that her ex-husband Teruzane Utada was the one who asked this man to take care of Fuji. The man himself was shocked, and testified to the police that: "We're not romantically involved. We stayed in separate bedrooms".
Fans flocked to the side of the rail guard underneath Fuji's apartment to offer flowers, beer, and Japanese wine as a makeshift altar was made. According to nearby residents, fans came to visit as early as the 22nd when news of her death broke out. A man in his 30s who came all the way from Niigata prefecture on this day to pay his respects said, "Both my parents were huge fans of hers. I was unable to contain myself so I came here".

Live action Lupin III, who should play Fujiko Mine!?

(Partial Translation)
The production for the live action adaptation of Lupin III is at a standstill as they could not decide who to cast as Fujiko Mine.
Shun Oguri has been decided to play the role of Lupin, and Erika Sawajiri was originally touted to play Fujiko, but she turned down the role. Their next option was Riisa Naka, who had experience in sexy roles, but they had to go back to the drawing board because of her shotgun marriage with Akiyoshi Nakao. The producers are currently in the hunt for a popular actress who can also play mature roles, but they seem to be having trouble. Norika Fujiwara, Kyoko Fukada, and Masami Nagasawa's names have also been brought up, but they are yet to come up with a final decision.
Norika Fujiwara's just too old

>> If she was only a bit younger
SatoEri, please

>> Indeed!
Lupin III Nenriki Chinsakusen's totally being treated as if it didn't exist, huh www

> Lupin = Shun Oguri
Things are already finished at that point, so just let Gouriki play the role
Cut out these live action adaptations already...
Don't think that everything should have a live action version.
Fuka-kyon, please

>> I think her personality fits the role, but her tits don't live up to the part
What about the world's most beautiful woman, Eiko Koike-san?

Mitsu Dan

>> She might be the choice if we're going with the times, but someone who has more mass should be playing Mine
Yumi Kazama would be my choice

If you choose based on age and boob size, then shouldn't it be along the lines of Haruka Ayase?

>> Her boobs pass but honestly, her face looks a bit too much like a country bumpkin's
Mikie Hara

>> Yeah, she can also do action scenes. She'd be good.
Necessary Requirements: Tall, curvy, bombastic
But Fujiko looks like a white person no matter how you look at her.
Of course it would look weird if a Japanese plays the part.
>> Her body looks like that of a Westerner, but her face looks like a beauty from the yesteryear. The person whol will play Fujiko shouldn't just look like her, she should also be a good speaker.
I thought I saw a thread before saying that they've decided on Masami Nagasawa. So that isn't final yet?
Naoko Iijima a few years ago would have been perfect though

Kurara Chibana

>> Oh, not bad
Ahhhh------ I forgot-------
There's Chinami Suzuki!!
She doesn't have any track record yet, but she'd be a good fit.
Why not go with her already?

Sumire (Junichi Ishida's daughter) is tall, but she's got a small chest and I don't know if she can even speak Nihongo properly...

Mikie Hara would be a good choice.
Isn't she popular enough?
>> Yeah, that would be her weak point w
But if she becomes popular by playing Fujiko, then everyone would become happy.
Yuko Aoki of a few years ago would be nice, though ( ・ω・)y─┛~~

Yumiko Shaku during her peak would have been great

* Meisa Kuroki
* Keiko Kitagawa
These would be the safest choices. But I don't think they'll be able to get high ratings with this.
* Emi Takei
It would probably get decent ratings but all the haters will make noise.
* Erika Sawajiri
Everything about it will be like a festival -- in many different senses -- and would also get ratings
Mio Takaba-chan is my recommendation

Face-wise, Meisa Kuroki would be great, but her body is lacking. Even if you put pads on her chest and butt areas, she still lacks the height.

Let Maki Goto do it

>> Hm, that's not a bad idea
If Oguri's Lupin, then let Yu Yamada play Fujiko
If you're talking about boobs, don't forget Kazue Fukiishi

To think that Norika would have definitely been the only choice 15 years ago
