Nothing's verified as far as I know, but apparently there was a Takizawa Kabuki rehearsal and I've heard news about someone else who was involved with the show (Yara Tomoyuki) being safe according to staff (haven't seen the source myself, nor did I see the blog I'm following include it in the confirmed list, however). So unless he was at another job or was off for the day or something, he should be okay> I think right now we just have to wait for the morning for more news...

Kaya, Luna Sea and Miyavi have also confirmed they are safe via their Twitters.

Thanks for the info, but my post is Johnny and Associates only... I don't really have the resources to make a list that encompass everyone in the Japanese entertainment world, but maybe you or someone else can start a more comprehensive list? Sorry... >.

thanks for the info... at first i was worried about taguchi since he and ryo are in the same drama... but now it's ok ^^ as for ueda's home... i think it's damaged but they're rich so that's not too bad. It's yaotome hikaru who is in trouble. apparently his house in sendai is completely.. well, over.

Sorry to be telling you this, I was just about to update the post... I just read that it's apparently unclear whether the confirmation on Taguchi's safety is actually true because people are saying that the information from the drama crew was actually that Ryo was filming the drama at the time and is okay, and it wasn't specified if Taguchi's filming for the same drama too at the time of the earthquake...
Let's hope he's okay, and sorry for all the confusion...

EEEEHHHH?!?!?!?!?! YOU MEAN THEY WEREN'T IN THE SAME SCENE SHOOTING AT TEH SAME TIME?!?!?! AAAAHHHH JUNNO!!!! ><'

[eirwen555]

He could have been, but we just don't know for sure yet... *praying for him and everyone else whose information I haven't found yet...*

Leader, Gussan, Nagase and Mabo are ok but what about Taichi?!?
I'm so worried!

[eirwen555]

Me too... >.< All I heard regarding him is that the place he was supposed to be working in is pretty safe so he should be fine, but that's not really anything definite...

[eirwen555]

New info: they should all be okay, just heard that JE sent out an official jweb mail saying that TOKIO's tour is resuming tomorrow (Sunday), so that has to mean they're all fine.

[harimalover]

Thank God!
I hope all Johnny's are safe and sound.

please could anyone tell me the state of Aya Ueto... I'm worried about her thanks!
Versailles, Vamps An Cafe are okay!

[eirwen555]

Don't worry, she's fine! Becky mentioned her in her blog update. Her house is damaged but her and her family are safe, no injuries. (Becky's blog: http://www.becky.ne.jp/contents/blog/)
