Kamenashi Kazuya & Other Cast Members of Upcoming Movie “Ore Ore” Appear at a Promotional Event

On February 21st, KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya appeared at a promotional event for his starring movie “Ore Ore (It’s me, It’s me).”

“Ore Ore” is based on Hoshino Tomoyuki’s award-winning novel, and it’s directed by Miki Satoshi (“Jikou Keisatsu”, “Instant Numa”).

The story revolves around an electronics retail store worker named “Nagano Hitoshi ” (Kamenashi), who becomes involved in a scam called “ore ore sagi” (* “ore ore sagi” is a kind of scam that is primarily targeted at the elderly. The scammer calls their target, pretends to be someone they know, usually their relatives, and asks for money.)

While Hitoshi goes around pretending to be other people, he finds that “me” starts multiplying, having the same face and personality. Before long, the elimination of the other “me” begins. In the movie, Kamenashi plays 33 of “me”, such as a “military enthusiast me”, “big breasted me”, and “full-body tattoo me”.

Kamenashi commented, “It was like I appeared in every single scene, and I had to memorize the whole script. It was quite a heavy experience as I can’t even bring the hard task to remembrance.” He then continued, “I was always in the middle of costume change, but I was able to utilize my fast changing clothes skills which I have built up through live concerts.”

Other than Kamenashi, the director Miki, Uchida Yuki who plays the mysterious heroine named “Sayaka”, and Kase Ryo who plays “Tajima” a sarcastic boss of Hitoshi, appeared at the event.

During the event, it was announced that Kamenashi would have to challenge himself with 33 missions until the release day. Kamenashi said while dropping his shoulders, “So you guys are driving me into a corner again.” which had Kase and Uchida taking pity on him.

“Ore Ore” is scheduled for release on May 25th, and KAT-TUN’s song “FACE to Face” has been chosen as its theme song.

The trailer of the movie can be checked on the official site (here).

Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari to Host Own Variety Program

Popular group Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari will have his own variety program titled “Nino-san” starting in April on NTV. This will mark his first time serving as the sole MC.

The program is said to be a “matching trial program” in which 5 different directors from NTV will come up with a new plan every week, and they will find out which director would be the best-suited to work with Ninomiya. There will be a total of 10 episodes, and they will pick the best attempt among those episodes. Then, the chosen episode will become a regular program, which will start airing sometime after this fall.

The highlight of the program will be what kind of new charm Ninomiya would show, and which director could enhance Ninomiya’s charm the most.

The 5 directors include Uetoshi Ryuta (“Arashi ni Shiyagare“), Uchida Hidemi (“Sekai no Hate made Itte Q!“), Nasu Taisuke (“Guruguru Ninety-nine“), Hashimoto Kazuaki (“Hiru Nandesu!“), and Miyamori Hiroki (“Star☆Draft Kaigi“).

Ninomiya commented, “So this is the first time I will be the sole MC. I am very happy honestly! Everything will be a new experience for me, but I will try my best so that I won’t be the one who fails the tryout.”

According to the producer, “I’ve always felt Ninomiya-san’s high response capability, and I wanted to see him serving as MC by himself. I hope it can show the viewers a new side of Ninomiya-san, which he does not even notice himself.”

“Nino-san” will be aired in a late-night time slot, but its broadcasting time has not yet been decided.

[RUMOR] Tegoshi Yuya is the Reason for Masuwaka’s Divorce?

Last Jan 14th, gyaru star Masuwaka Tsubasa announced on her blog that she and her husband for 4 years, Umeda Naoki, are divorcing. The mother of one did not specify the reason for their divorce though it seem like a mutual decision.

However, there have been circulating rumors that Masuwaka is allegedly having an affair with Tegoshi Yuya of NEWS, which is one of the reasons for the divorce.

“It is with T, who plays an active part in N from a four-person group. The two are intimate-friends who are often seen hanging-out from Ropponggi to Shibuya. This tidbit is supplied by a friend of Umeda; however, the truth seems unlikely to be revealed ever, ” according to an entertainment weekly reporter.

Tegoshi and Masuwaka dating rumors started circulating via twitter last 2011. The two were reportedly seen together during a summer festival but there are no pictures to prove this claim. In addition, Masukawa’s rumored dating relationship with Tegoshi is also an affair since the gyaru star is also rumored to be involved with a company’s president, who also happens to be married.

This is not the 1st time that Tegoshi got rumored in a couple’s divorce. When MLB star Darvish Yu and model/actress Saeko parted ways earlier last year, he was also rumored to be one of the reasons for divorce.

Higashiyama Noriyuki Recommends Taguchi Junnosuke To Be KAT-TUN’s Leader

Last Jan 18th, Shonentai’s Higashiyama Noriyuki and KAT-TUN’s Junnosuke Taguchi had their opening night for the stage play, “NO WORDS, NO TIME ~Sora ni ochita namida~” at Globe Theater in Tokyo. A press conference followed afterwards.

The stage play is unique since it was done without dialogue but by merely focusing on dance movements, music, and drama. The audience was drawn to contemporary dances on a stage set in scenes like house, station, and company. Higashiyama and Junnosuke fused the elements of ballet and pantomime together with sound and lighting effects on a stage devoid on decorations. (as covered by Ryo Hasegawa)

“It was always been a dream to do it with Higashiyama-san,” Junno commented. “He has generosity and courage and those are necessary to become a leader of KAT-TUN,” Higashiyama commented and added, “he does his best to such an extent that he won’t lose.” Junno smiled shyly after Higashiyama’s praised and added that he’ll probably “messed-around” if he is the leader.

Aside from admiring each of their qualities, Higashiyama also admitted in being in love with Junno’s gag especially Junno’s most popular gag- “Iriguchi (entrance), Deguchi (exit), Taguchi (his name)”. In addition, the two made a gag called “Pyu-pon”, but Higashiyama refused to show it to the press saying that gag was “sealed”. On the other hand, Junno decided to do joked around while praising his senpai, “It was always been my dream so I was so nervous last night that I could not sleep a wink …uso, uso kawauso.” Higashiyama was laughing one after another gag.

“NO WORDS, NO TIME ~Sora ni ochita namida~” will run until Feb 5th at Globe Theater in Tokyo and from Feb 8th to 12th at Morinimiya Piloti Hall in Osaka.
