The drama (title undecided), based on Yukiya Shoji's Tokyo Bandwagon series, is set to begin in October on NTV. This will be Kamenashi's first lead role in 2 years after Yokai NingenBem, which got 18.9% on its first episode. This is also the first time that he will be taking part in a 'home drama', playing the role of Ao Hotta. He comments: "I hope to depict the kind of family and human relations here which will make everyone think that having a family sure is wonderful." "I am really looking forward to meeting my new family here." "I am ecstatic, and feeling a good amount of pressure that I have been given the chance to participate in this project as the lead." The Tokyo Bandwagon series was voted as "the No.1 novel that you would like to see on film" in 2009.
(Related post here) Erena Ono receives word that she's being slandered on the Internet with comments such as: "Shocking. Do her parents know what she's doing? It's already like prostitution." "How miserable. Doesn't she question her own actions?" "Erepyon... you're finished..."
To which Ereno replies on her Twitter: "Hm? I'm just expressing my love to the people who came here to love (and see) me*. I don't think people should be saying what's good and what isn't." "I can do whatever I want to. The fans come to see me with their love, I'm just approaching them too with my love for them. That's natural, right?" "Sorry to disappoint you, but I won't stop doing this." "I'm seriously mad. I'm pissed."
* Translator's note: 愛に(会いに)来てくれた = Ai ni kite kureta = came to see me (会いに来てくれた); but she intentionally used another kanji for Ai (会い) which is "愛" or "love" so it literally translates to "came to love me".

Sho Sakurai (30) has this image of a serious and pleasant young man, but it is also well-known that he is quick-tempered and that he thinks fans are "invisible people". The incident where he glared and shouted "Don't come here--", "You're eyesores" at the fans who watched his on-location shoots to greet him "Great work!" is pretty famous. There are numerous other incidents where he called fans "ugly" and "pig", where he threw an umbrella at them, where he spat on them. There was also a recent incident reported by Shukan Josei where he slammed a fan's cellphone and destroyed it.
A fan of his from his Johnny's Jr. days says: "He's always been like that. Nothing has changed." "He was a boy who loved to go clubbing and loved goukon parties until his early 20s. His hair was dyed brown, and he had piercings back then, right? He's baby-faced but he looked so flashy. He used to like the gal-types, halfies, and gaudy girls and was seen walking with girls like those, preferring them over the pure and clean ones. He was not serious at all. But don't you think that's just normal for celebrities like him? There's no reason for me to cease being a fan."
Sakurai apparently changed when he was chosen to be a newscaster in 2006 for "NEWS ZERO". "As soon as he started work on the program, he disappeared for a bit from the club circuit and he didn't do goukon parties anymore. But he still didn't change the way he treated his fans."
Sho Sakurai was allegedly spotted recently at Shinjuku 2-chome's gay bar, leading to speculation that he's bisexual.
"I think he liked the bar which a gay friend showed him and he seems to be frequenting that place, sometimes alone, just to drink. But I don't think he's bisexual. I think he only has sex with women, and I heard that he constantly calls over prostitues to his Roppongi apartment. I don't think he's romantically involved, it's just the relationship between a prostitute and a client. But calling her to his home and not a hotel must mean that he's opened his heart to this woman." (showbiz insider)
"I know he's got a bad personality and that he loves women, but I still cheer him on. I think it's pathetic if a fan thinks to herself that he betrayed us." (same fan as above)

"It was the best place to communicate with many different people."
"But it is a reality that lowlifes dwell in such places, mention things that you wouldn't think a fellow human being would say and just run away. I've just gotten irritated with people like that."
