Although, I'm sure some of you know and most of us were expecting it: TOKIO got number on the weekly single ranking with Sorafune/do! do! do!
Their previous number one hits are "Message/Hitoribotchi no Haburashi" "ding-dong/glider" "AMBITIOUS JAPAN!" and "Mr. Traveling Man."
Congratulations TOKIO!!
Matsuoka will be in KANSAI SUPER SHOW 『太陽の船』 taking place in January in the Tokyo Dome for two days. I wish I could tell you what this is...but I'm still not sure. The director/producer
山本寛斎 (Yamamoto Kansai) is a fashion designer and has done a show before...but yeah. Not sure about it at all. But I want to go. (^_^)
Information in Japanese: J-net There will probably be a news report on Mezamashi and such tomorrow morning, the production announcment was today.
Yamaguchi will be hosting a variety show on NTV (Saturdays at 5pm) starting in October. The net articles about it aren't up yet, but my sources are reliable enough. So I believe them. (^_^)
