On December 3rd it was revealed to the press a New Year special performance of “JOHNNY’S World”, stage-play dedicated to the Guinness Certification of Johnny Kitagawa (81), with the participation of Takizawa Hideaki (30), entitled “JOHNNY’S World New Year with Tackey”.

JW is a long run stage-play that started on November last year and will go on until March. During the second act of the said performance, Takizawa took over the stage with a special edition of “Takizawa Kakumei”, and he will perform there until January 6th. “Since this is a New Year Special I wanted to try to put some laughter into it”, Takizawa said. A smiling Nakayama Yuma (18) added, “Even though we worked hard, we were able to relax and enjoy the show while performing”.

Takizawa is used to perform during New Year’s and answer persistent questions from reporters about otoshidama given the occasion, “I’ve tried to not come out a lot so I won’t have to give otoshidama to everybody”, he said with a bitter smile. “But it feels good so of course I have to do it. After all, I also get otoshidama from a lot of people, including Higashiyama-san”. The amount was not revealed but he admitted giving otoshidama to all 180 performers of JW.

*NOTE* Audience was also given otoshidama of 5yen that day by Tackey as shown in the picture.

“Tackey Can Get Married Without Asking Us Ahead” Says Johnny Kitagawa

Tackey & Tsubasa‘s Hideaki Takizawa appeared for a dress rehearsal for “Johnny’s World” last New Year’s Eve at Marunouchi, Tokyo. Takizawa will do a special performance for the said play where the rehearsals have been open for reporters. Takizawa was last seen on stage with “Shinshun Jinsei Kakumei” where he starred with the late Mori Mitsuko who died last November.

Tackey & Tsubasa celebrated their 10th year anniversary last 2012, which was also the year when Takizawa turned 30 years old. The reporters, who were interested with Takizawa’s private life, asked him questions, like “when will be hearing a good news[marriage] soon?” to which Takizawa responded, “there are no plans yet, but the desire is there…”

When it comes to matters of love life, Takizawa is being given Laissez-faire or let-alone policy by Johnny Kitagawa. “He has the freedom to do what he wishes, he deserves it.” Kitagawa has full trust and confidence to Takizawa as compared to Akanishi Jin, whom Kitagawa imposed harsh measures, after Akanishi failed to inform Kitagawa about his marriage beforehand.

About Takizawa succeeding Johnny’s drive when it comes to producing stage performances since Takizawa himself is an “idea man”. “I hope to play the role of manager if I can’t become a film director in the future,” Takizawa related. Johnny responded that he won’t interfere with Takizawa so he could concentrate with behind-the-scenes events. Creating “Tackey’s World” may indeed happen in the near future.

[Video] Yamada Ryosuke Merry X-mas on ZIP (24-12-2012)

Inagaki Goro will Play Akechi Mitsuhide in Tamamori Yuta’s Drama “Nobunaga no Chef”

On December 25th, it was revealed that SMAP member, Inagaki Goro has been casted in the role of Akechi Mitsuhide in a Friday night drama for TV Asahi “Nobunaga no Chef” which is schedule to premiere on January 11th. This drama is the first time his agency’s junior, Kis-My-Ft2 member, Tamamori Yuta will challenge a starring role in a period drama. “Akechi Mitsuhide is a fascinating person, I’m happy to be able to play this role in this particular drama”, Inagaki commented.

Akechi Mitsuhide was a samurai who lived during the Sengoku period of Feudal Japan, a general under daimyo Oda Nobunaga, who became infamous for his betrayal in 1582.

Inagaki talked about his character, “People who embrace his image will see him as ‘the man who betrayed the Lord’ and as someone who doesn’t show any good side of him, for sure. This drama as a strong part of fantasy elements and the time traveling part. I think this will be a little different but still good version of Akechi Mitsuhide”.

Recently, they filmed their first scene together in Kyoto Toei Studio. Tamamori commented, “Once again, I’m entirely nervous… . He is a big senior…. . I, because I was so nervous my voice ended up one tone too high (laugh). Since I had the first line in the scene, I noticed immediately and thought ‘Ah, yabai!’”, his heart skipped a beat.

Inagaki talked about such young junior, who has previously worked in a drama before with Nakai Masahiro, also member of SMAP, “I am probably friendlier than Nakai-kun, right??”, Tamamori replied “No, Nakai-san is also very friendly!”, after which he put some more pressure, “So, I’m friendly, right?” then he behaved like a nice senior and said, “Work hard!”.

Kiriyama added, “I want people who don’t know about us to see the movie!”, ”We also heard this morning that we’ll also be in charge of the theme song “NOT FINALE” and we will come up with a combined choreography. I want the audience to enjoy our presence also in screen”. Other Kansai juniors who are part of the cast include Nakama Junta, Hamanaka Bunichi, Kotaki Nozomu, Mukai Koji and Fujii Ryusei.
