Hey! Say! JUMP’s Yamada Ryosuke is starring in this special drama series that will mark the beginning of NTV’s 60th Anniversary Celebrations. It was revealed that filming ended in November 7th and also the broadcast time has being decided to be the same for all different parts of Asia for the first time in agency history.

Yamada looked back to the filming in October, “In order to make it similar to the 1st generation, I kept the hairstyle and was also wearing the same uniform Tsuyoshi-kun did”, referring to agency senpai, Domoto Tsuyoshi (KinKi Kids) who dignified him as 4th generation Kindaichi by giving him an “inheritance”.

Set in Hong Kong, action scenes are a brilliant flash of Jackie Chan since the beginning. This cast is among the largest scale cast ever seen. Through difficult tricks, 4th generation Kindaichi tries to challenge the saga.
Inherited by first Kindaichi, Domoto Tsuyoshi , second Kindaichi, Matsumoto Jun (Arashi) and 3rd Kindaichi, Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN), Yamada proudly stated, “It’s an honor to be involved in something that has so much history”.

He also talked about the attraction of actions scenes, “I tried a scene with skateboarding. I was fired up about including what I had learned in Japan, I’d heard about the cliffs but it was different once I actually saw them. Some of the stunts are done by another person but I worked hard to do as many action scenes as possible on my own”.

Starring Hey! Say! JUMP’s member, Yamada Ryosuke (19), NTV special drama will be broadcasted in New Year next year, “Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo”.

Besides Japanese actors Kiritani Kenta (32) and Hey! Say! JUMP member, Arioka Daiki (21), cast also includes; Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu (37), member of Korean group Big Bang V.I (21), Taiwanese actor Wu Chun (33) and Hong Kong actor Eric Tsang (59), create this an all-asian assemble.

Filming took place in Hong Kong, since September, during that time, bilateral relations over the Senkaku Islands had gotten worse but the bureau reported filming has ended with no trouble.

This time Kindaichi Shonen takes place in a fashion show in Hong Kong, where a series of murders occurred and from there on, the story will challenge the saga. ”I didn’t really feel a language barrier with other actors from Asia. I put a 100% of my strength in this play”, Yamada said with a sense of fulfillment.

Hey! Say! JUMP is a nine-member Japanese idol group under the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates. The name Hey! Say! refers to the fact that all the members were born in the Heisei period and JUMP is an acronym for Johnny's Ultra Music Power. Like agency seniors Hikaru Genji and V6, the group is split into two subgroups: Hey! Say! BEST (Boys Excellent Select Team) and Hey! Say! 7 (not to be confused with the temporary group of the same name), which consists of the five oldest members and four youngest members respectively.

History

Early 2007: The Temporary Hey! Say! 7

During a KAT-TUN spring concert on April 3, 2007, Johnny's Juniors Yuya Takaki, Daiki Arioka, Ryosuke Yamada, Yuto Nakajima and Yuri Chinen were named to be part of a new group called Hey! Say! 7. Initially, the temporary status of the group was unclear, worrying a lot of fans of Johnny Jr's group J.J.

On June 16, 2007, it was announced that Hey! Say! 7 would release "Hey! Say!" as a single on August 1, 2007. While the A-side "Hey! Say!" was used as the second opening song for the anime Lovely Complex, the single's B-side "Bon Bon" was used as the second ending song for the same anime. The single went on to sell 120,520 copies in its first week, making the group the youngest male group to top the Oricon singles chart.

 

Late 2007: Debut of Hey! Say! JUMP

On September 24, 2007, Johnny & Associates announced the formation of Hey! Say! JUMP, the agency's largest group in history. The five members of Hey! Say! 7 were joined by Johnny's Jrs Kota Yabu, Kei Inoo, Hikaru Yaotome, Keito Okamoto and Ryutaro Morimoto, and the ten-member group was split into two subgroups of five based on age. It was also announced that they would make their CD debut on November 14, 2007 with "Ultra Music Power", which was used as Japan's Volleyball World Cup Relay 2007 theme song.

On December 22, 2007, Hey! Say! JUMP held their debut concert "Hey! Say! JUMP Debut & First Concert Ikinari! in Tokyo Dome". They became the youngest group ever to perform in Tokyo Dome with the average age of 15.7 years old.


 

2008: Members Acting Activities

On April 30, they released their first ever concert DVD Hey! Say! JUMP Debut & First Concert Ikinari! in Tokyo Dome. The group released their second single Dreams Come True on May 21, which topped the Oricon Chart. In July 2008 it was announced that the group's third new single "Your Seed" would be used as the image song for Japanese release of the animated film Kung-Fu Panda. In October 2008, the group released their fourth single "Mayonaka no Shadow Boy", which was used as the theme song for the drama Scrap Teacher starring members Yamada, Nakajima, Arioka and Chinen.

 

2009-2010: JUMP No. 1

Hey! Say! JUMP released their second DVD Concert Hey! Say! Jump-ing Tour '08-'09 on April 29, 2009.
On February 24, 2010, the group released their fifth single "Hitomi no Screen", which topped the Oricon weekly single charts with 202,000 copies. Hey! Say! JUMP released their first album titled Jump No. 1 on July 7, 2010.

On December 15, 2010, the group released a new single with the name of "Arigatō (Sekai no Doko ni Ite mo)". It reached number one on the Oricon singles chart and sold 64,206 albums on its first day.

 

2011: Yan Yan JUMP, Morimoto's Suspension and The Smurfs

Hey! Say! JUMP and other Johnny's Juniors are currently starring in a new variety show called Yan Yan JUMP. The show started on April, 16, 2011. It begins at 6:30 JST every Saturday. The name and theme of the show is based on Yan Yan Utau Studio, a program that aired roughly 20 years previously, featuring some of the senior Johnny's members.

The group was surrounded by much controversy on June 28, 2011 after the photos of Morimoto smoking underage were leaked onto the Internet. The following day, in response to the scandal, Johnny's Entertainment issued a statement of apology and planned to suspend Morimoto from all of his activities indefinitely. Following the removal of Morimoto's profile from the official Johnny & Associates website, Johnny Kitagawa himself made an official announcement on the issue. He stated that Morimoto now has ambitions to focus on studying and denied any possibility of him returning soon.

On June 29, 2011, the group released a new single with the name of "Over". It peaked at number one on the Oricon singles chart on its first day with 113,554 sales. This has made it Hey! Say! JUMP's highest selling single since 'Ultra Music Power' as their debut song back in 2007.
On September 21, 2011, they released their eighth single, "Magic Power".This was their first solo without Morimoto, due to the aforementioned smoking scandal and suspension. "Magic Power" was used as the theme for the Japanese dub of the 3D movie "The Smurfs".

 

2012: International Activities: Asian Tour and "Jump World"

The group held their first Asian tour from March to June, with a series of concerts in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. It was also announced that they will be releasing their first single of the year and ninth in all, on February 22, titled "Super Delicate".

On March 15, it was announced that Hong Kong leg tour would be postponed until May and that the Bangkok tour was cancelled respectively due to unknown reason. On the 22nd, it was announced that a new musical called Johnny's World will be produced and directed by Johnny Kitagawa which would start its run at the Imperial Garden Theater during the months of November through December. Hey! Say! JUMP would be the main cast while 100 others would be making an appearance including Kis-My-Ft2, Sexy Zone, A.B.C-Z and Johnny's Jr.. Kamenashi Kazuya, Takizawa Hideaki and Domoto Koichi will be making guest appearance as well.

On April 25, almost two years since the released of their first album Jump No. 1, the group announced that they will released their second album on June 6. The album is called Jump World and it contained their singles from "Arigatō (Sekai no Doko ni Ite mo)" onwards.
Hey! Say! JUMP kicked off their first Asian tour at the Yokohama Arena on 3 May.
