Random Mentions of Pi - Asari Yosuke

Mar 24, 2010 15:13

Asari Yousuke was recently on Hanamaru Cafe, and talked about Pi.
There was one time he asked Pi to go drink together was just after Code Blue 1 was done filming, and they talked about acting..
The place they were in played some Western music that isn't usually played in Japan, and Pi asked the waiter, it's this this song right? And the waiter said ( Read more... )

And I'm out of the loop...what's going on with kattun?

Great picture, thanks! Hope you don't mind me "borrowing" your link.. XP
KAT-TUN... apparently KT-TUN is going to do an Asia tour, while Jin is going to do something solo, rumoured to be in LA?
Stuff like this coming out:

I agree with you that there's never been a precedence for Johnny to "break up" his units. I'm sure johnny will never allow that to 'officially' happen. Instead, he'll allow the members to do more and more of their own solo/duo projects and then fewer and fewer full group gigs. I'm not surprised at this turn of events at all. When I visited the johnny store last week, there were NO NEWS and KATTUN group-related items for sale. (No photo and ticket albums, no light up things, no uchiwas. No NEWS group photos...only their individual calendar shots, tegomassu pics, Pi's SBS pics.) The units the shop was definitely pushing was Arashi, HSJ, and NYC.

There were times when people left voluntarily, like in SMAP and 9 people NEWS... And there are solo activities in almost all the bands. But Jin is not leaving KATTUN, yet he's missing their first Asia tour! I find that incomprehensible, I don't see how that can benefit any of them. It's true that Johnny's marketing approach seems to focus more on individual work these days, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, I always saw the group work as a kind of safety net for everyone, it's such an unpredictable industry and there's no guarantee anyone will stay popular forever...

Asari must have started acting in kindergarten!

Thanks for the trans. :D I love reading the random mentions you translate.

I thought the KT thing was just a silly tabloid rumor but it looks like I'm wrong.

I remember reading somewhere that Asari was a child star? But I have no idea.. the oldest thing I can remember seeing him in is probably like, Shinsengumi.. lol.. I like random mentions too, it makes me happy when people fanboy over him.. XD

The KAT-TUN thing is all over the news now.. Some kind of a club tour for Jin, and they emphasized he was definitely not going to be there for the KAT-TUN concerts.. I'm shocked too. :|

Asari was also in the IWGP SP. Something else he and Pi had in common, although Pi's role was already long...finished by that time.

yamasugee March 25 2010, 16:23:04 UTC

I watched that and I don't remember Asari in it at ALL.. Small part? XP

That KAT-TUN thing is disturbing. But no one ever accused KAT-TUN of being one big, happy family, anyway.

yamasugee March 25 2010, 16:26:50 UTC

True, they can be a bit dysfunctional.. I don't see the benefit of doing this at ALL, having solo activities is one thing, but missing something as big as an Asia concert tour? I hope this kinda thing never happens to NEWS.....

meissa March 26 2010, 00:05:46 UTC

I know, right? I also thought "At least Pi didn't pull something similar to this. I hope he never does." I'm just trusting that he isn't that kind of guy who would let his group do something so major without him.

yamasugee March 26 2010, 01:41:56 UTC

Yamapi seems like a person with a strong sense of loyalty to the people around him, he even gets attached to his broken phone and old boots, so I definitely can't see him walking away so easily. Of course, I don't really know about the whole KATTUN situation, maybe Jin really was mistreated there or something... lol

You're welcome! =D

Not terribly exciting, but here's another photo from hanamaru cafe:

What does the picture mean? :)

yamasugee March 25 2010, 16:56:47 UTC

They are the three people Asari talked about when he went on Hanamaru.. :)
The heading says "Three actors who inspired him", and he listed those three, including Yamapi (the third one). =D
