Arigatou, Okan won the Award of Excellence in TV Drama category from the Japanese Commercial Broadcasting Union! Congratulations Subaru, Hina, Ootake-san, Toda Erika, and staff and crew of this touching drama! Thanks for the info, cindi. I believe this little piece of news is not on kanjani8 yet though?

Magazine appearance of interest:

26/9~2/10 - Kanjani8 ( Read more... )

5-city PUZZLE DVD event:

3 Oct - Shinagawa (Tokyo) & Nagoya
10 Oct - Osaka & Fukuoka
18 Oct - Hokkaido

More details here.

Yoko, Hina, Maru and Yasu will be starring in a collection of mini drama which spans 6 months beginning 23 Oct, 1 episode per month. Others involved are Ohno, Koyama, Shige and Joshima.

I'm worrying about ROMES' rating, and feeling that Ohkura is not ready for a lead role, he's still a mediocre actor at best. His character is supposedly 27? That's, erm...interesting. And Yasu cut his hair so short to make it look like he's younger than Ohkura? LOL!

Anyway, Subaru is a brat. Yasu, Maru & Hina want to go see Dreamboys on his birthday ( Read more... )

Ohkura and Yasu in an NHK rendora starting October 15th! Ohkura got the lead (in a drama series ahead of Ryo), while Yasu is finally in a rendora instead of just SPs or one-offs. I see the OhYass fans on my f-list are very very pleased with this LOL!

So this means only Hina and Subaru don't have a drama this year (unless the Hagure Keiji SP comes ( Read more... )

NEW KANJANI8 DVD IN 2 YEARS FINALLY! They filmed the last show of the Puzzle Tour and it's the Osaka version! I'm so glad that it will finally materialize! XDDD Whatever happens to J-Rock DVD though I wonder...

No release date yet, but the earliest should be 3 months from now, so my guess is early October. I think the single would come out by ( Read more... )

I spent some time last night playing the game 'let's guess why Subaru was mad at Yasu', and then watched some Koishite Akuma and Karei-Naru Spy trailers/CMs/previews. Karei-Naru Spy looks like it's going to be awesome, and Yuma is getting taller, he's even taller than Kato Rosa now. And getting hotter despite his age! XD

Does anyone know where can I ( Read more... )

First post on a new layout! XD And it's Yasuba-ish too! *grins*

The rating for the first episode of MR. BRAIN is a whopping 24.8%! This caused The Quiz Show Ep6 to dip below 10% although they began airing 1 hour apart, but MR. BRAIN's first episode was an effin' 100-minute special! I've given up on the download because the file is too big and now I ( Read more... )
