Seems like there's a non-ikemen lurking about in the ikemen elections
And one of the front-runners at that wwwwwww

Similar to an idol concert? Yuzuru Hanyu: "I heard the cheers, but that didn't really affect my performance"
The event seemed like an idol concert. Right before Hanyu's performance, a group of girls screamed, "Yuzu, we love you~!", which awkwardly cued his music "Parisienne Walkways". He made a mistake in his specialty, the quadruple toe loop, as he lacked revolutions and made a mistake in his landing. The "Ice Prince" went on to recover and made a combination of a triple axel and a 3-3 spin, but only smiled wryly after his performance. The 91.24 points is far below his world record score of 101.45, and his noble face seemingly turned askew as he heard the score being announced.
"I heard the cheers (prior to the performance), but that didn't really affect my performance. I came in here, probably too overconfident and slightly lacked focus because I know I didn't make any mistakes in the SP routine. I can't say that I'm happy with this at all, and I am angry at myself. I really can't forgive myself."

Mizuki Yamamoto graduates from Meiji University
Yamamoto wore a hakama which she personally designed and said, "I was extra cautious with the coloring. The theme of this is a 'retro-literary girl'.". Looking back at her campus life, she said that she enjoyed "studying for exams until late at night with my friends, eating lunch on the grass with them and playing cards at the cafeteria". She also said, "I struggled with the subjects that put emphasis on attendance. I had trouble trying to stay awake, especially when I had to film until early in the morning". She continues: "I enjoyed studying subjects which involved solving problems using the scientific method. I would have wanted to join more lab experiments, though. I hope I can put these things that I have learned to good use at work.".
Yamamoto said that people have expressed their support for her, but she insisted that she did not meet a special someone. Some people did confess their feelings to her, but she said that "Unfortunately, there haven't been any drama-like situations for me". She also said, "I also wanted to take part in joint parties, but I couldn't. I would have liked to have more fun with everyone else.".

Ryo Fukawa criticizes KimuTaku's conversation with Prime Minister Abe on Iitomo's Telephone Shocking
Prime Minister Abe got to talk with the following episode's guest Kimura, about which comedian Ryo Fukawa (39) had something to say on his radio program.
* When he was told that First-lady Akie was a huge fan, he said "Ha---i, arigatou gozaimasu".
Prime Minister Abe was able to talk to the guest of the next episode, Kimura, towards the end of the segment.
Mr. Abe has previously met Kimura in person when he guested on SMAPxSMAP's segment "BISTRO SMAP" back in 2005. The Prime Minister started off by saying, "Ah, moshi-moshi, uhm, this is Shinzo Abe speaking", sounding a bit uneasy. Kimura then answered with a slight laugh in his tone, "Hello, this is Takuya Kimura".
When the Prime Minister was on BISTRO SMAP, he liked the buckwheat noodles that Kimura prepared, which eventually gave the victory to Kimura's team. Kimura remembered this and said, "Thank you very much back then. Please do come by again, this time as the Prime Minister.". Mr. Abe replied politely, "Thank you very much, let's do it again".
Upon hearing that Mr. Abe's wife, first lady Akie-san is a huge fan of Kimura-san, he just said "Ha----i, arigatou gozaimasu", and that was where their conversation ended.

Haruka Ayase in the commercial of Giant Cone
Ayase constantly eased the mood of the commercial shooting sites. She came in, greeted everyone with a bright and cheerful "Good mo~rning!", then looked around confused at the huge studio, not knowing where to go next, which has given comfort to the staff and personnel and brought them smiles. The director has given her instructions to "make the people who are watching you feel at ease", which she did with her natural and subtle expressions, tone, and gestures.
She was also instructed to "open her mouth as wide as she can" on the scene where she eats the Giant Cone. She then wiped away the nuts which stuck to her lips and would make a cute gesture with her mouth, as everyone watched her in amusement.

Ranking of artists liked by teenagers (Recochoku)
Picture of Karina in bed with her Taiwanese boyfriend published by FRIDAY
Karina has previously denied reports about the Taiwanese boyfriend, and even said "I don't know" in front of the media at her event on the 13th, but this day she said, "I'm 30 so I'm having a nice relationship with him". The reason for this statement, however, was because of her shocking bed pictures that were leaked out.
The current issue of weekly magazine FRIDAY contains a picture of Karina and her alleged Taiwanese boyfriend in bed. According to the magazine, the picture is of the two sleeping soundly after doing the act at a party held in a condominium unit in Hawaii. The two have gone on to date each other after this.
Karina sleeping with her legs spread open is shocking in itself, but if you look closely, it also seems like her finger is touching her private part...
"No, no, you've got it all wrong. Take a look at her feet, they're pressed against each other. This is a basic pose in yoga called the cobbler's pose. In Sanskrit, it's called Baddha Konasana. It's a great stretching method to open and calm one's hips and pelvic area, and even stimulates the heart muscles. It's proof that she's so much into yoga that she even makes such poses during her sleep."
- (instructor)
In the past, a picture like this would've caused huge damage to a person and would even be harmful enough to prevent her from getting married. The only bright side to this scandal is that the person with her is her rumored boyfriend...
Tsuyoshi Kusanagi drinks alcohol again after 5 years with Tamori
SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi (39) has put an end to his abstinence from alcohol. Tamori (68), host of Waratte Iitomo, which is now on its final week after 32 years on air, guested on Fuji TV's SMAPxSMAP on the 24th, in the popular segment "Bistro SMAP".
Masahiro Nakai (41), Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori (37) have been regulars on Iitomo for a long time. Tamori is also friends with Takuya Kimura (41) and Goro Inagaki (40).
Before they judged the dishes, Tamori said, "I don't care about the outcome. Let's have a feast", and beer was brought in. As they were having a toast, Kusanagi muttered about his self-imposed ban from alcohol. Tamori then said, "It's been a long time now, you've had enough! I suppose you can have a drink already?". Kusanagi gulped down his beer and said, "So good. I'm so happy, really", and enjoyed his beer with Tamori.
