[NEWS] Publisher sued over unauthorized books of Arashi, KAT-TUN



Tokyo-based publisher R's Shuppan is being sued over sales of unauthorized books featuring the members of idol groups Arashi and KAT-TUN. The first hearing was held in court on Tuesday.

R's Shuppan is accused of publishing twelve books between 2005 and 2008, using the names and photos of the groups' members for commercial purpose without permission. The plaintiffs are reportedly seeking more than 170 million yen in damages.

The publisher requested to have the lawsuit dismissed, claiming that the books simply traced the history of the groups and did not count as a violation of their right to publicity. However, the plaintiffs argued that the violation is clear, pointing out that the majority of the books' pages contain unauthorized images.

[NEWS] Arashi to Hijack NTV Network



Stars often appear all over a network for a day to promote a new movie or album, but Johnny's Jimusho idol group Arashi are to take over NTV for a whole week. The group are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut in November. To mark the occasion, various members of the group will appear on an estimated 50 hours of programming during a seven-day period. They'll make live appearances on the network's most popular variety and news shows and will perform their hits during a special live concert. The final dates have yet to be announced.

With the members of fellow Johnny's group SMAP now all into their 30's, Arashi have a strong hold on the teenage and young adult fan base. But although they have a string of No.1 hits, it was only with the recent release of a greatest hits album, "All the Best, 1999-2009" that they had their first million seller. The upcoming "hijacking" of the NTV network is to show that they are now established as major stars and, perhaps more than anything else, make it clear to corporate sponsors that they are the group of the moment. The five members of Arashi are Ohno Satoshi (28), Sakurai Sho (27), Aiba Masaki (26), Ninomiya Kazunari (26) and Matsumoto Jun (26).

[NEWS] 大野/Ohno talked Arashi's and his 10 years.



This year, 嵐/Arashi celebrates their 10th year from the debut. Not only as a team, but each member has actively worked on stages, dramas, commercials, and even as casters. The leader /Ohno talked about those 10 years they have walked. He said that he used to like illustration and fishing, and didn't feel like he would continue his job as a TV person. "I was going to quit this job and rather be an illustrator. But it happened to be like this and I felt I couldn't keep going on. I don't think I was extremely busy but I remember I was concerned," said Ohno

When Arashi debuted, other 4 members were getting used to be on TV and people actually knew about them well. But for Ohno, he was mostly on the stages, not on TV, so he didn't know what to do. 

But as you all know Ohno, today, works as a choreographer in Arashi as well as releasing a solo album! He is into "music" which is what Arash does professionally. He said, " It isn't like I wanted to do that (laugh). It was more like... I like Arashi but I don't feel that I want to do something for Arashi. I think I like drawing and fishing more." It is so Ohno who does what he wants to do and he has been doing so. But what will happen after 10 years? Ohno responded, "If I have more things that I want to do, I'm probably gone (laugh). Well, maybe it is a good idea to be it a traveller." Yes~, he was a free man.

[NEWS] Arashi to Take Over Nippon TV and Appear for 50 Hours in 1 Week!



The popular artist group Arashi will celebrate its 10th anniversary by embarking on a one week collaborative project with Nippon TV. For each day the Arashi members will guest star in regularly broadcast programs such as ‘ズームイン!!SUPER / Zoom In!! SUPER’ and ‘行列のできる法律相談所 / Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsu Sodan-sho [lit. ‘Most popular place to ask about laws’]’. During their appearances they will tackle a plethora of challenges. In all Arashi are set to be on air for a total of 50 hours in 1 week.

For the last day on Sunday Arashi will appear live in a long-length special program, and will put on live performances. They are also going to tackle ‘out-of-this-world experiments’ as part of the irregularly broadcast program ‘驚きの嵐!世紀の実験 / Odoroki no Arashi! Seiki no Jikken [lit. Arashi Surprised! Extraordinary Experiments’]’. As the title suggests, the TV show has been hosted by Arashi, and for this particular occasion, all the experiments will be shown on a much greater scale. Matsumoto Jun seemed to be looking forward to the large-scale collaborative event. “It is exciting just to imagine having at least one Arashi member appear on TV everyday. I can’t wait.” The project will be broadcast during this fall.

[NEWS] Ninomiya to Show Importance of ‘Love and Care’ in Upcoming TV Drama



In the summer of 2007, the movie ‘Life~天国で君に逢えたら~ / Life~Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara~ [lit. If I were to see you in heaven]’ moved many people to tears. The movie was based on the novel written by world class pro windsurfer Iijima Natsuki. Now the novel ‘天国で君に逢えたら / Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara’ will be adapted into a TV drama starring Ninomiya Kazunari!
The refreshingly touching story tackles such difficult topics as ‘cancer’ and ‘death’. The main character is the psychiatrist Nonoue Junichi, who provides mental care for cancer patients.

Nonoue helps patients in a counseling room of a hospital specializing in cancer therapy. After hearing the agonies and anguishes expressed by patients facing death from end-stage cancer, Nonoue decides he must do something to alleviate their pain and fear. He becomes a ‘postman’ who delivers letters from the patients to their loved ones.

Nonoue listened to the patients reveal the feelings they were harboring deep inside, and composed them into letters to give to the patients’ family and relatives. The feelings and thoughts included worries about their illness, pain, anger, despair, fear of death, and care for the family members they must leave behind. The way Nonoue becomes a bridge between the patients and families is bound to bring tears to anyone who watches the drama!!

[NEWS] Which Actor Would You Want as Your Boyfriend?



Recently an online store revealed the results of a survey in which female respondents were asked which actor they would like to have as their boyfriend.

The Arashi members Matsumoto and Sakurai came in respectively at No.1 and No.2!

The 40 year old Fukuyama Masaharu succeeded in fending off a legion of young, popular actors and took 3rd place. Although his main occupation is a singer/songwriter, he is also well known as an actor and has appeared in various TV dramas and movies.

Up and coming Mukai Osamu was ranked No.4. He appeared in the TV dramas ‘アタシんちの男子 / Atashinchi no Danshi [lit. The Boys Living in My House]’ and ‘メイちゃんの執事 / Mei-chan no Shitsuji [lit. Mei-chan’s Butler]’.

No.5 was Satoh Takeru who starred in the movie ‘ROOKIES -卒業- / ROOKIES -Sotsugyo- [graduation]’.

The No.6 and No.7 spots were each taken by Mizushima Hiro and Kamiji Yusuke, who both appeared in the film ‘ドロップ / DROP’.

Oguri Shun, Yamashita Tomohisa, Ninomiya Kazunari followed.

The top 10 spots were practically dominated by multi-talented young actors and Johnny’s members!

[NEWS] Sakurai Sho Touts ‘Masculinity’!



On September 17th the Arashi members appeared in their own TV variety program ‘ひみつの嵐ちゃん / Secret Arashi’s TV Show’. The actress Inoue Mao guest starred in the program, and was asked about her type. She replied that she liked men who have a ‘masculine’ side, especially those who can wolf down their food. So the Arashi members each took turns eating gyudon [牛丼 bowl of rice topped with beef] in what they thought was a manly fashion!

Before the competition, Inoue had told Sakurai Sho that she wasn’t exactly fond of men who have stooped shoulders. Eager to prove that he could be Inoue’s type, Sakurai cracked eggs with his head, applied an unseemly amount of red peppers and red pickled gingers to his gyudon, and promptly stuffed them into his mouth. He then claimed that the gyudon had ‘no taste’, and did the unthinkable. He drank the sweet sauce used for the gyudon right from the bottle! But after all the trouble he went to, Inoue chose Matsumoto.

Sakurai’s desperate moves didn’t seem to impress Inoue…but Aiba told Sakurai “That was the best laugh I had for this year!” Maybe it wasn’t all in vain!

[NEWS] Matsumoto Tackles Mundane Chore for Nino!?



Arashi has been extremely busy these days, what with their 10th anniversary concert, new releases, TV appearances including several members filming dramas. But in private Matsumoto Jun has been spending much of his time on a ‘hobby’ which some might find tedious. Let’s look at what he said during his radio program ‘JUN STYLE’ broadcast on September 12th…

During the summer, Arashi had participated in an event hosted by a TV station. While heading to their ‘VS嵐 / VS Arashi’ event area [‘VS嵐 / VS Arashi’ is a weekly TV program hosted by Arashi], the [popular RPG] Dragon Quest booth caught their attention. Lots of different Dragon Quest merchandise was being sold.

“I hadn’t come up with a good idea for a birthday present to give to Nino [Ninomiya]. Then I found Nino looking really interested in the merchandise.”

From among the merchandise, Matsumoto bought a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that Ninomiya had especially liked. He told Ninomiya that he was buying it as his birthday present. But for some reason Matsumoto added that he will complete the jigsaw puzzle and give Ninomiya the finished product. Now, solving the puzzle has become his daily chore.
But the puzzle seems to have been more difficult than he had first thought…

“I’m barely managing to put together the letters of the title ‘Dragon Quest’. I’m nowhere near working on the characters.”
“I haven’t played with jigsaw puzzles for ages. It’s really hard work.”

Right now Ninomiya is playing ‘Dragon Quest IX’ on his Nintendo DS. Matsumoto said that he plans to give the puzzle before Ninomiya finishes the game. Just imagining Matsumoto spending almost all his spare time cooped up in his house and mulling over a jigsaw puzzle must make fans smile.
Let’s hope he can complete the puzzle soon!
