Narimiya Hiroki, Piano Performance!
Birthday Celebration with Fans
6 September 2009
On the 6th, actor Narimiya Hiroki had pre-birthday celebrations with fans at Tokyo Hotel. He had a similar event in Osaka the day before. In total, 900 fans attended. His real birthday is on the 14th. The exciting event was filled with witty speeches and an energetic piano performance, and to top it off everyone was given a necklace as a present.
He started playing the piano last year. During intervals for the Fuji TV drama 'Innocent Love', he practised with Yuzu's Kitagawa Yujin. He trained intensively for a month for this event, especially when he was tired from memorizing lines. He played the theme song from the drama, Utada Hikaru's 'Eternally' and a medley of other tunes.
He was dressed in a bridal tuxedo. When asked about his own wedding, "Sometime ago I went for a palm reading. I'm supposed to get married twice," he said, laughing, "Right now, I'm still kind of weak." Is there a sense of relief among Narimiya's women fans?
27,000 yen x 900 = 24,300,000 yen
His management charged those fans 27,000 yen each to attend his pre-birthday party.
The numbers are just mind-boggling.
A party for fans should be free!

Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara
5th September 2009 10:37
JNN 50th Anniversary commemorative special drama 'Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara' will be aired.
24 September (Thursday) 21:00~23:04 (TBS)
Mao-san plays the role of Arashi's Ninomiya-san's wife.
This time, she plays her first mother role (and her children are really cute twins)♪
To film this drama, we were on location at Tateyama, Chiba till about the end of April!
On the train to Tateyama, the music that kept on playing was DCT's Osaka Lover.
So even now, when Osaka Lover plays, Mao-san goes excitedly
"Reminds me of when we went to Tateyama ne~"
Mao-san thought the photo earlier was for a record of what she was wearing, she said it's no good because it was expressionless (*laugh*)
So in exchange, enjoy Natsuko Mama bursting with laughter!!
The other day, she went for a recording of VIP ROOM on 'Himitsu no Arashi-chan!' (TBS).
Before she was on, Mao-san was restless, saying "I'm nervous~!!" (*laugh*)
It was really interesting so everyone, look forward to it♪♪
'Himitsu no Arashi-chan' airs on 17 September (Thursday) at 22:00!!
★Bonus★
There was a little free time before recording, so we went to a bookstore near TBS...
Mao-san bought 2 rakugo books!!
She read them during intervals in today's movie filming too.
After that, went to Starbucks again, and challenged ourselves to the 'Creme Brulee Macchiato', new on the menu!
Her thoughts... it was a little too sweet for Mao-san... (*laugh*)

6 September 2009
On the 5th of September, Japan's biggest fashion event, the 9th Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC) was held. Popular models from 24 brands were featured in the event.
Even though the show started only at 14:30, there was already a long line by 09:30. A woman in her 20s who was at the front of the line revealed that she had been there since 07:30 so that she could have a clear view of the runway.
The biggest cheers were unleashed for UNIQLO's model, actor Matsuyama Kenichi. He wore a neo-leather jacket which was a product of collaboration between UNIQLO and TGC.
It was the first time Matsuyama walked down a runway. He commented, "I was nervous and I'm glad it ended safely." Regarding the jacket, he said "It feels good, and it's not heavy. Movements are not restricted."
Actor Mizobata Junpei wore a job-hunting handsome suit from Aoyama Suit Collection, blowing a kiss to the audience as he strutted down the runway. "It felt strange that there's a man appearing on stage when there's so many women, I was tensed. But I really enjoyed myself," he said shyly.
A familiar face for the Aoyama Suit Collection CMs, Aibu Saki also made her appearance on stage. "It's the first time I'm seeing so many ladies, it makes me nervous." Both Mizobata and Aibu are currently in the drama Buzzer Beat. "Aibu-san always has a gentle smile on her," said Mizobata of his co-star. "Somehow it sounds like a lie na," joked Aibu.
I hate Evergreen. Bring me back Junpei's blog!!
And I'm sure Junpei had a blast flirting with all the models. Shy? lol. Maybe he went for more home-hoppings.

Mount Rainier
3 September 2009 00:57
Good evening
Today
There was presentation for a new CM
I've been chosen to be
the image character of
Morinaga Milk Industry's "Mount Rainier"
Since I went to Paris,
I've come to like coffee
Opportunities to drink coffee have increased
It's great for a coffee enthusiast
In the CM
I appear with Ryoko Yonekura-san
It's been while
Since I last met Yonekura-san
When we acted in a drama together
She's the type of actress
Where it seems like there's no distance
even after a long absence
After that
To the studio
For a drama rehearsal
This time, the episode is quite interesting
The plot supports the main story well
And events are unravelling at a quick pace
My brains are on the verge of bursting
during rehearsal
[laugh]
Now
I'm reading a bit more of the script
Well then
This has been Narimiya.
Only he would have to go to Paris to start enjoying coffee!
He has some huge birthday party celebration going on, I'm guessing he's performing something special... cos the management is charging those interested 27,000 Yen.

"Narimiya-kun is erotic, cool"
The loving senior-junior relationship of Yonekura and Narimiya
2 September 2009
On 2nd September, Ryoko Yonekura and Hiroki Narimiya attended the product launch of Mt. Rainier Double Espresso, a chilled cup coffee. Yonekura described Narimiya as "erotic, playful and cool", surprising the reporters covering the event.
The CM will air from 8th September onwards. In the CM, Yonekura plays an attractive capable boss while Narimiya is a young company employee, a kouhai (junior) to Yonekura. "To have this kind of junior at work, it must be fun ne," said Yonekura. Narimiya replied, "Yonekura-san is very capable, and awfully charming. She's cute, but still glamorous."
When asked what type of boss would be ideal, Narimiya answered, "Someone who's not perfect is good. What's important for me is 'kindness'. If I know that they care about others, it would be easier for me to work for them." Even though he's from the entertainment industry, his comment speaks for the common salaryman as well.
The two of them had previously acted in a drama as a couple. The banter between them in the hall made it interesting for the reporters.
"I like Yonekura-san, but she always treats me like a child ne~ [laugh]," Narimiya confessed. Yonekura objected, "That's never happened before~!". Narimiya added "And Yonekura-san only cuts a potato in half. It's like 'man's cooking', where the ingredients are large,". In the end, Narimiya said "Actually, Yonekura-san is very skilled in cooking." The audience were entertained by their comfortable exchange of words on stage.
Cafe Latte and Espresso from Mt Rainier Double Espresso will start selling nationwide from 8th September (Tuesday) onwards. Yonekura and Narimiya are the first Japanese to be appointed for the Mt Rainier series ads. It is a stylish and sexy production, which seems to be the theme for this autumn.

Full Post »Ryo and Yamapi down with influenza
Nishikido Ryo and Yamashita Tomohisa down with influenza
1st September 2009 17:36
Nishikido Ryo (24) and Yamashita Tomohisa (24) from the popular group NEWS are likely to have been infected with the new strain of influenza, type A influenza. This was made known by a fax from their agency.
Nishikido was diagnosed on 31st August and Yamashita on 1st September. They have been instructed by their doctors to stop all work immediately and to rest at home until complete recovery.
Also according to TBS, there are still scenes that Nishikido is yet to complete for Episode 7 of the drama Orthros no Inu (to be broadcast on the 4th) so they are still considering the matter. Depending on his recovery, the future episodes will also be under review.
Update : 2nd September
According to various reports, Ryo was feeling unwell on the morning of the 30th with a fever of 38 degrees. He left filming of '24 Hour Television' to go to a nearby hospital. After testing negative for influenza, he was prescribed medicine for cold and fever and went back on the program. He was also put on intravenous drip while on location. The next morning, when he arrived at Midoriyama Studio to shoot Orthros no Inu, he reported feeling ill again and had a temperature of 39 degrees. He went to another hospital for a check-up and was tested positive for influenza this time.
Yamapi was fine during '24 Hour Television' but on the 1st at around noon, while filming for Buzzer Beat, started feeling feverish with a temperature of 38.2 degrees. He went to hospital, was tested positive for Influenza A and put on intravenous drip. Filming for the rest of the day was cancelled and he went home.
According to authorized personnel, there are no reports of influenza among the rest of the NEWS members or any of their co-actors. In Johnny's Jimusho, the talents are asked to put on masks and be vigilant about washing their hands.
Yamapi has not finished filming for the episode of Buzzer Beat to be aired on the 7th. There is a possibility of change in broadcast dates.
Update 2 : 3rd September
Kasuga Toshiaki of the owarai duo Audrey has been diagnosed with Influenza A. According to his agency, he was feeling unwell on the noon of the 2nd and went to a hospital in Tokyo for a check-up where he tested positive. Audrey took part in NTV's '24 Hour Television' on 29th and 30th August.
Update 3 : 3rd September
Johnny's Jimusho reported that Yamapi's and Ryo's temperatures are almost back to normal. "They are heading towards recovery," said authorized personnel on the 2nd. Their return to work though is still undecided.

Filming Day 5 and 6
31st August 2009
Filming Day 5
Hello!
I received many messages of support, really happy.
I'm thankful that Mao-chan's fans are also rooting for me.
Thank you very much! Thank you!!
I want to reply to each one but we're filming so I'm sorry if I'm late in updating the diary or answering your comments.
I'm thinking of putting up a photo with Mao-chan soon but please wait a little longer ne.
Filming is going ahead every day.
We went to a location near the sea during the weekend.
The setting sun was beautiful~.
The filming for Saturday was relaxed so we were able to enjoy filming.
「ENJOY」
Mao-chan's favourite word ne.
Can you see a face?? :-)
Everyone's encouragement really gives me strength.
On the way back, I met someone who was walking many dogs.
Seems like he rescues abandoned dogs, in total he's caring for 18 of them.
Sounds difficult but a a truly fantastic effort.
Filming Day 6
31st August 2009
Today's location was also near the sea.
The weather was suspect...
Up to now, we have been filming fun scenes but today we started having scenes where I had to express more complicated emotions and expressions.
So when the cameraman told me today,"When I saw today's scenes, I really felt sad too," I thought,"I managed to convey it!" and felt very happy.
Unfortunately, it started to rain in the evening and we couldn't do the outdoors filming.
At work during breaktime. photo by Mao-chan :)
Photo I took while the camera was being set up. Can you see a face here too??
A photo on the filming set. Mao-chan asked,"Wonder who this is?" and it became a topic of conversation.
Anyone knows?
The weather is stormy today too, so everyone please be careful ne.
