Johnny's Juniors - Duet June 2011
Well, first of all, of course, congratulations to Nika for his first movie appearance! The rumours had been floating around for quite some time already, but considering the movie had its preview screening yesterday, it has been confirmed! Nika has about 2 minutes of appearance in Ogawa no Hotori, which Higashiyama-san is the lead for. Yes, 2 minutes in a movie, but it's still worth being happy for? The movie won't be shown in the theatres in all over Japan until July 2nd. Unless you're in Yamagata which gets an early release of June 18th. For us foreign fans overseas, we'll have to wait until a DVD release, which will probably be next year...
Next, NTV announced their next Wednesday drama for the summer season! Bull Doctor, and I WILL BE WATCHING IT. Ishihara Satomi as police officer. *_________* Plus there's Shida Mirai and Ohno Takurou and Brother Tom and like lajhsflafg Oh, and Inagaki-kun, lollll. Must not forget about him. XD The lead is played by Esumi Makiko.
Can we have more summer season drama news soon? Lolll. That's 1 (or well, two including Exile one) confirmed for NTV, 2 for TBS (Ikemen and Ouran), 1 for Asahi (Satou Kouichi and Haruma one police school one), and 2 for Fuji (Eita and Mitsushima Hikari, Sore de mo, Ikite Yuku and HanaKimi 2). Still quite a few to be announced...but well, we're only like halfway through spring season. XD; Guess I have to be patient.
Oh, right! Hiro's solo song from Crea, according to Only Star, it's called Ima Nani wo Omou no, with a weird use of kanji and katakana, lol. Also, that the Real DX they did was "Thriller Volume"? Lol. Probably because of the dance and stuff, use of silhouettes and yea.
I...think that's all I have to say. Probably.
Anyways, next is translation requested by king_kun through help_japan.
Translation. Selected JaPAnizuHi! members (7 of them), introduced as Fresh Juniors. A brief profile plus a short blurb about their skills and dreams.

If you ask me about my dream for the future, then of course it's debut! Like how Arashi-san found out about their debut in Hawaii...I want to experience that kind of surprise. For that purpose too, right now, I'll do my best with dance and singing! I practise dancing at home too. Since it's embarrassing if my parents see me, so secretly (laughs). Other than that, I have to gain talking skills, smile, and sociability too. I'm a bit bad at going up to people to talk to them myself. I want to be able to talk to senpai in a fun manner. I still haven't found my special skill yet, but I'm a bit well-informed about cars and bikes. When I've become an adult, I'd be happy if I can appear in a CM for my favourite car!

I love Aiba (Masaki)-kun who's always cheerful and energetic, and I went to the audition, thinking, "If I join Johnnys, will I be able to meet Aiba-kun...?" I was happy that I was able to meet Aiba-kun during "Marching J"'s charity donation event, but ever since last year when I was given a chance to appear in "Touzai Utagassen", I gained the dream of "wanting to be able to join a group as its member myself", so I decided that I have to work hard with singing and dancing first. When I have let people see lots of my appeal point, my smiles, and when that dream has come true, it'd nice if my dream of speaking with Aiba-kun and working with him would come true as well.

I want to act! I want to challenge various acting opportunities, such as in dramas, movies and stage shows. Recently, I was given a chance to go watch "Takizawa Kabuki" and Takizawa (Hideaki)-kun who does the action parts one after another perfectly with a cool expression was really cool ♥ I have interest in action too, but my worry is that my body is stiff (tears). So that I would become even just a bit more flexible...I started stretching before I go to sleep. One day, I want to have a double debut with a drama lead and singing the theme song! ...just kid~ding, a dream is still just a dream. That or, making the best use of the English I learned when I studied overseas during middle school, having a world debut in a Hollywood movie might be possible!?

My dream right now is to be part of a school drama. I want to try doing something like a delinquent role. If I shout angrily in a loud voice, it seems like it would be stress-relieving too (laughs). If I can appear in a drama though, even if it's a role where I get bullied by delinquents, I'll do my best! At home, I'm practising the guitar. Lately, I feel that I've really improved to the point that I'm surprised. It's just my own judgement completely though (laughs). Since I can play "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana", I'll make "Yozora no Mukou" my next set piece. One day, I want to perform that at my own concert ♪ My dream for the future is of course debut. If I can debut in a cool band until like TOKIO-san, it'd be the best!

Since I just entered Juniors, I don't have a clear dream for the future yet. I still don't really understand things like entering a group or CD debut. Just...one thing I'm thinking of is that I want to become who can live and eat by working in this world (laughs). For that purpose, I plan to appeal my dance which I've been doing since Gr.1. I can dance bread dance, hip hop, and rock, and since I have the feeling of "I don't want to lose to anyone when it comes to dancing", I will do my best. If I have to name a challenge, then it's singing. If it's acting, I joined the drama club when I was in Gr.5, so I might be fine surprisingly? (laughs)

Before, when I found a wallet and took it to the police box, the police officer there was very kind to me. Since that day, when I pass by the police box, he would greet me. That's why, I thought "I want to become that kind of police officer too!" the whole time. I admire Chinen (Yuuri)-kun who appeared in the movie "Ninja Hattori-kun", so I went for the Juniors audition. Since I can reach high notes, I have a bit of confidence in singing, but since I've never danced before, I'm uneasy about it. I thought though "I'll work twice as much as other people" and I practise at home too now. In the future, I want to debut with a group where all the members get along like Hey! Say! JUMP.

When I was young, my dream was to become a baseball player, but now, my dream is to become famous like Takizawa Hideaki-kun. That's why in January, when I was allowed in appear for the first time in the stage show "Takizawa Kakumei" of my admired senpai, I was really happy. Since it was my first stage show though, I was nervous. After that immediately, it was decided that I would be in "Takizawa Kabuki" too, and this time, I have lines too! That's why right now, even if it's only for a short period of time, I practise my lines. I also admire Arashi's Ohno-kun as much as I do with Takizawa-kun. He's good at both singing and dancing, and he's interesting and cool...I'm doing my best every day so that I can become like that kind of senpai!
