Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya: "Women who condemn goukon parties? What's up with that?"

1: 2014/04/07(月) 14:04:04.85 ID:???0

Kazunari Ninomiya is an indoor type of person -- with his cellphone rarely getting any calls and almost never dines out with other people. In contrast to that image, he's had more reports involving him with women than anyone else in Arashi. No one can imagine what sort of things he does in his private life, but he showed a glimpse of himself on radio. 

Ninomiya answered a listener's question on the talk show BAY STORM (bayfm) about goukon parties. The question goes:
"My husband suddenly asked me if I would allow him to go to a goukon party. When I asked for the reason, he told me that he wanted to have fun and enjoy drinking with women he doesn't know. I became extremely mad. It's not jealousy and things like that, but it has really gotten on my nerves."
Ninomiya responded: "The guy just wants to drink with women he doesn't know. That's all there is to it. Can't he?", and defended goukon parties.

He then continued to say that the man probably just wants to have shallow and fun conversations with strangers, like "birthday guessing games! I'm not sure, but maybe he just wants to do things like that. Can you play that with your wife? Of course not! You already know one another's birthdays! Then can you play blood type guessing games? Of course not! You know that too! He probably just wants to enjoy things on that level.".

Ninomiya passionately continued that men would of course talk about more serious stuff like work and family matters with the wife, but explained that the man would probably want to talk about their favorite celebrities with other women.

"There are women who flat out condemn goukon parties, but to me, that's more of a concern. That actually makes me wonder what kind of goukon parties that woman has attended. When women say, 'I can't believe that you like going to goukon parties', I'd just think 'What is this woman's standard for goukon anyway?'."

Ninomiya was noticeably calm the beginning, but started to become more passionate, and eventually went on to sigh as he dissed women who do not approve of goukon parties.

V6's Ken Miyake learning sign language for a deaf girl who came to the handshake event

1: 禿の月φ ★ 2014/03/17 18:36:15

V6's Ken Miyake expressed his regrets in dealing with a fan. Miyake, who has been appointed as the "navigator" in NHK's new program Minna no Shuwa (beginning on April 6), was in Shibuya's NHK for the presscon of the program.

Miyake revealed that he has studied how to do sign language because: "A deaf girl came to our handshake event, and she tried to converse with me through sign language. I couldn't understand it all, and I didn't know how to respond. That, for me, was a regret.". After that, he attended a once-a-week, 2 hours per session course to specifically learn sign language.

When Miyake was asked what the other members thought about this, he commented: "The other members knew that I was learning sign language, and they congratulated me on getting this project". He also received heartwarming comments from fans such as, "I'll also study sign language thanks to this".

He also voiced out the trouble that he's been experiencing with the filming and says: "Sign language is very limited, and I'm always having difficulty in choosing the appropriate Japanese words for the signs." Finally, his message to the viewers: "It'll be difficult for the viewers if they start thinking, 'I have to study! I have to study!', so I think that it's important to enjoy yourself while learning".

TOKIO fans are so lucky...

They can easily get concert tickets.
Even if you tweet that you got a ticket, you won't get arrested.
Dramas with TOKIO members are mostly hits.
They've got a super-duper popular Sunday night program that will still keep on running for a long time.

Ami Kikuchi makes Anne Nakamura cry

1: 禿の月φ ★ 2014/02/04(火) 05:54:26.01 ID:???P

Anne Nakamura and Ami Kikuchi were both on the variety show Shabekuri 007 (Mondays 10~) as both of them were featured as "people whom you see each and every single day on TV these days" as the theme of the discussion was about "women's battle for survival".

Kikuchi said, "I don't want to disappear within the year", while Nakamura said, "I just don't want things to suddenly come to an end for me once I come full circle", as both expressed how they are not satisfied with their current standing. Kikuchi was serious throughout the segment, and also said that she's trying to obtain a license as a "head lymphatic massage therapist" in order to survive.

Shinya Ueda of Cream Stew commended the two on their passion for learning new things and said "If you're that serious about it, then you guys will be fine in 2014". But Nakamura said that "I feel like I'm losing (to Kikuchi) today", showing how she's dissatisfied with how the talk is proceeding.

Kikuchi said, "But Anne-chan, you did well in your own right!", seemingly looking down on Nakamura. The Shabekuri members then fanned the flame further and said, "Wow, you just seemed so condescending there! If you were to give her a score, how many points would you give?". Kikuchi candidly answered this and said, "I think she's scored about half (average). And it's alright since I myself have gotten above the half mark". Nakamura who was already teary-eyed at that point started crying and said, "Did I just turn into the villain here?".

There was also a moment in the program where Nakamura revealed that "Ami-chan is very familiar with other people (on other programs)", to which Kikuchi said, "Don't make it sound like I'm doing sexual favors!". The Shabekuri hosts then started doubting her, to which she replied, "There's no way I would! I'm protecting that aspect!".

The current state of the TV industry---Johnny's talents everywhere

1: れいおφ ★ 2014/02/02(日) 12:18:45.21 ID:???0

Johnny's talents are everywhere on TV, as they have even made their way into news and informational programs.

TOKIO's Taichi Kokubun and his new morning show Ippuku! will be replacing TBS' long-running informational program Hanamaru Market when it ends in March. The main MC for this program is a former Johnny's talent himself, Hirohide Yakumaru. On the same time slot is another Johnny's talent, V6's Yoshihiko Inohara on NHK's Asaichi.

Johnny's has forbidden their talents to go up against one another on the same time slot, and this can be considered a bit of an "issue". But if you look at it from a different perspective, you can also say that the TV industry is in a "state of emergency" as there's no one else worthy enough to become MCs, or no one has the ability to overturn the power of Johnny's.

Other shows where you see Johnny's talents are:
Arashi's Sho Sakurai on NEWS ZERO (NTV), TOKIO's Taichi Kokubun on Sporto! SATURDAY SPECIAL (Fuji TV), NEWS' Keiichiro Koyama on news every. (NTV), TOKIO's Tatsuya Yamaguchi on ZIP! (NTV), TOKIO's Shigeru Joshima on Minna no Gimon News naze Taro (TV Asahi), KAT-TUN's Kazuya Kamenashi on Going! Sports & News (NTV), and KAT-TUN's Yuichi Nakamaru on Shu-ichi (NTV)

The agency must be all smiles with these developments, but most consumers have probably had enough of them already.

TOKIO's Taichi Kokubun to become the face of TBS' mornings from spring 2014

1： かばほ～るφ ★ 2013/11/24(日) 11:05:58.73 ID:???0

TOKIO's Taichi Kokubun (39) will become the main host of TBS' informational morning show that will begin in spring. This will be the morning show that will replace Hanamaru Market (Mon~Fri 8:30AM) which will end in March. Kokubun has had the opportunity to host a lot of programs before, but this will be the first time he will be hosting a morning show.

He was chosen because of his ability to take charge, his likability, as well as his clean image. The title of the program is yet to be decided.

Kokubun has had experience in various genres such as variety shows, sports, travel, cooking, as well as educational programs. 
His skills for taking charge is regarded highly, as he has won the Galaxy Award in May of 2006 (Association of Broadcast Critics). He was recognized for his contributions as a host to TV Asahi's Aura no Izumi and TBS' talk show R30.

He also has a clean image that is necessary for being the face of mornings. He has previously won the Cotton Award, an award given to distinguished personalities with pleasant images. He was also the main caster for Fuji TV's coverage of last year's London Olympics, as he has proven that he has the composure to deal with sudden occurrences.

The long running morning show Hanamaru, which has lasted for 17 years, has announced that it will end by March next year. Hanamaru became popular with all the lifestyle segments and promotions, but according to staff, the new program will be a variety informational show that is more news and entertainment-oriented.

Back in 2008 when Kokubun had regular shows on all channels, including NHK, he was asked about having a daily program from Monday to Friday. He commented back then: "I haven't thought that far, but I'll do my best".

Masaki Aiba in hot water with Johnny's due to his family's restaurant?

1： ジャストフェイスロック(岡山県) 2013/11/17(日) 11:45:54.91 ID:Cc0P4hnr0

Following Koki Tanaka's (27) departure from Johnny's, Arashi's Masaki Aiba (30) has also been the subject of dismissal rumors, and what seems to be the indicator of this is his schedule. Aiba still doesn't have any new solo projects after the new year.

"Unfortunately, there has been no news of new dramas or movies for Aiba. All he has now are a total of only 4 shows: Arashi's main programs Arashi ni Shiyagare (NTV) and VS Arashi (Fuji), as well as Tensai! Shimura doubutsuen (NTV) and Aiba Manabu (TV Asahi). There are already rumors within the TV industry that it'll only be a matter of time until Aiba is entirely frozen out. - (broadcast writer)

Why is this happening to Aiba? Behind this lies a feud between the restaurant that Aiba's family runs and the Johnny's agency itself.

"The reason for their discord is the goods sold at the restaurant. The keychain of the letter "K", taken from the initial of the shop is selling like hotcakes, but it seems that the shop is taking advantage of the Arashi members' signatures, as well as the gifts given by fans to Aiba as decorations in the shop to entice the people to buy the goods."
- (informant)

The restaurant located in Chiba has gained popularity as this is also where Aiba grew up, and news of this has reached some executives at Johnny's.

"The agency is definitely angry at this. They don't even allow the signatures of their talents to be displayed. The agency eventually requested them to remove the signatures, the presents for Aiba, and to cancel their branch opening at the Tokyo Sky Tree. The restaurant responded to the the removal of the signatures and the goods, but have not given up on opening a branch in Tokyo." - (staff)

And this is apparently the reason why Aiba's position seems to be in danger.
