Kyary Pamyu Pamyu used for sex?

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 08:45:44 -0400

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is known for her energy and charisma, but now some disturbing rumors about the energetic pop star have suddenly risen to the surface.

According the rumors, during her secondary school years, Kyary was a kakitare, or a woman who associates with certain people with sex as her main goal, for entertainers belonging to Yoshimoto Kogyo, a major Japanese entertainment company, and in turn was used for sex.

A broadcast writer claims that, “During her secondary school years, instead of the entertainment she does now, Kyary worked as an amateur model and did some unbelievable things. For one, she had many group dates with entertainers from Yoshimoto, and had sexual relations with several of them. Even more, there are entertainers who treated girls like public restrooms, saying ‘If you call them, high school girls will quickly come.’”

Although Kyary is popular, she doesn’t appear much in commercial broadcasts. Is it because of something unpleasant?

Sawajiri Erika smoked weed with a Johnny's talent?

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 12:39:00 -0400

Sawajiri Erika is finally making her comeback to the entertainment world with her upcoming movie “Helter Skelter”. However, it hasn’t come without controversy, with Shuukan Bunshun revealing that Sawajiri may have a serious problem with marijuana. Now there’s even more rumors that Sawajiri used marijuana with a Johnny’s talent during her teen years.

“At the time, a Johnny’s talent attending Horikoshi High School sent her an e-mail that said ‘From now I’ll give even Erika a leaf~!’ That certain idol at that time already had rumors that he was smoking marijuana among his group of friends, and if the current rumors are true, there’s a strong chance he’s been addicted to marijuana since his teens.” (Industry Insider)

Right now for Sawajiri, rumors are flying that her current break from the Entertainment world is due to marijuana. Shuukan Bunshun recently published a document, allegedly sent by Lawyer A, that stated back in 2009 Sawajiri showed positive results for marijuana intoxication, which is why she was fired from her agency Stardust Production.

What “leaf” is referring to in the e-mail isn’t exactly clear, but if it’s true that a Johnny talent has been smoking marijuana since high school, it’s an extreme problem.

Who was the Johnny talent that hooked Sawajiri up with the “leaf”?

(Some of the Johnny’s that attended Horikoshi High School include Akanishi Jin, Yamashita Tomohisa, and Tanaka Koki.)

Jin is fat and dependent on Meisa

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:32:19 -0400

Ahem.

As everyone knows by now, Akanishi’s career in the entertainment world has pretty much died since he suddenly married Kuroki Meisa. And with every day with nothing to do, being financially dependent on Meisa, he certainly has a good amount of free time, right? Apparently, Akanishi is using this free time to drown his despair by drinking, and because of this, he’s bringing on the pounds.

Akanishi has suddenly acquired a considerable amount of weight, gaining about 8 kilos (17.6 pounds). Even more, Akanishi is supposedly spending his days at Kuroki’s parents’ house in Okinawa, spending morning to night drowned in alcohol.

An insider states that, “With his tour cancelled, his drama cancelled, his fan club dissolved, he’s rotting. Lately, Akanishi has stopped his daily weight training. There’s even some talk that he now has a beer belly.”

“After Meisa has her baby, she is set to start filming for her drama. She’s doing this for the intent of earning some money for Akanishi’s sake. It seems that since Akanishi can’t tolerate this condition of being fed by his wife, his amount of alcohol consumption has increased.”

Lately, it’s been rumored Akanishi has been searching for certain equipment in order to open a restaurant in Okinawa. At this rate, will he disappear from the entertainment world?

Sakurai Sho relieving stress at gay bars

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:24:28 -0400

Oh my, it’s another gay bar rumor!

Everybody’s favorite guy, Sakurai Sho, has lately been secretly relieving his stress by drinking at a bar in the Holy Land of Gay, or in other words, the Shinjuku Ni-chome district.

A person connected to Ni-chome claims that, “His preferred spot isn’t a gay-bar aimed at straight people, but a full-blown gay-bar. But that’s not to say Sakurai is gay. Before, even Akanishi and Yamapi have come to Ni-chome, so it may be that connection.” It’s said that when he has the time, Sakurai will aimlessly go late at night alone.

The person continues, “When a regular customer like Hirai Ken comes, he enjoys singing karaoke songs like Matsuda Seiko’s ‘Ki 5 Age’, but Sakurai enjoys talking with the shop tenants. “

Sakurai is said to frequent Ni-chome gay bars, and for the female fans this may bring on some complicated feelings.

It’s been a rough year for Sakurai, with Josei Shuukan publishing his recent “cellphone scandal” and now with him allegedly avoiding fans, even the fans are beginning to worry. With working as a newscaster for NEWS ZERO, variety shows, and being an actor, among other various things, there’s a chance Sakurai is carrying an unthinkable amount of stress. It’s only good then if a gay bar helps him relieve all that piled up stress.

Oguri Shun already facing heat from Yamada Yu?

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:24:00 -0400

Yamada Yu and Oguri Shun were married this March, but in a month’s time they’ve already had a giant fight. The reason for it stems from Oguri attempting to hide his group dates and cover up certain lies.

Allegedly, during April, Yamada discovered Oguri was holding a group date in the Tokyo metropolitan area. According to an intimate model friend of Yamada, “Yu-chan has a lot of model and talent friends, so the information about the group date got around quickly. After being lectured by Yamada, he finally admitted to it. The date consisted of 3 men, 2 who were unnamed actors, and 3 models, and they were in a karaoke box for about 3 hours.”

Oguri, who’s honest to the lower half of his body, would be expected to be done with “takeout” being he’s a newlywed. However, the thing that has Yamada mad isn’t the group dates, but the lies Oguri made on the phone, the lies being that every time Oguri received a call from Yamada during these group dates, he would quiet the room and act as if he were alone. These tactics were eventually outed.

Even more alarming, it was reported in Ichibu Shuukanshi that only 5 days after announcing his marriage, Oguri held a risky group date with Matsumoto Jun and Yamashita Tomohisa. As thought, Oguri’s love for group dates is profound.

According to Yamada’s intimate friend, Yamada allegedly said, “It’s fine to have get-togethers as long as Shun doesn’t cheat, but telling lies, and having reporters come every time Shun holds a group date makes me feel embarrassed and I hate it!” It seems even after marriage, the worries of cheating for the couple have yet to die down.

"Is Sakurai okay?" The reason Arashi fans are worried about Sakurai Sho

Thu, 31 May 2012 18:39:00 -0400

This year, Sakurai Sho has once again been chosen to be main newscaster for the 2012 London Olympics. However, lately Arashi fans have been expressing concern since it seems that “Sakurai Sho won’t come out to the public.”

A fan claims that, “When Aiba or Nino are waving their hands and greeting, Sho always escapes in a car out of sight. It’s never been like that until now.”

Fans who wait to see an idol are of course a big part of an idol’s life. Since Arashi members are especially famous for being kind to their fans who wait to see them, the fans are now beginning to ask, “Is Sakurai okay?” So, what in the world has happened to Sakurai Sho?

A pro entertainment insider states, “Some time ago, Josei Shuukanshi published an article claiming Sakurai knocked down the cellphones of fans who ran up to him. Right after this article was published, his cautiousness during work has become very high.”

According to April’s Josei Shuukanshi, Sakurai Sho knocked cellphones out of fans who had their camera phones aimed at him, while yelling “Don’t take pictures!” Since the force of the blow was so strong the phone clapped onto the ground. Witness testimonies claim that about 5 phones went flying. Since then, Sakurai’s fall from his image as a “refreshing good young man” has became a discussion among Arashi fans.

However, a fan who happened to be at the scene of the crime claims a much different story.

“Josei Shuukanshi’s article has been dramatized too much,” she says, “although it’s true [Sakurai] said ‘don’t take pictures!’, his hand only bumped into the cellphones and they fell. The article makes it seem like he was mowing the cellphones down out of their hands, but it was definitely not a fight scene atmosphere. And more than that, real fans would never just pull out their cellphone camera and point it at him, without manners. The people’s who’s cellphones dropped were probably people other than fans. ”

Although the real story might be a little or more less different, there’s no doubt it has ruined Sakurai’s image, and at this point he definitely can’t escape negative articles like this. For the fans, this might be a sad event, but let’s hope they can sympathize with Sakurai’s feelings and watch with warm eyes.

Fans aren't feeling the new Nino hair, Johnny's at risk of balding

Thu, 24 May 2012 21:32:21 -0400

Ninomiya Kazunari recently dyed his hair blonde for his upcoming role in Nippon Terebi’s 24 Hour TV drama “Kurumaisu Boku wa Sora wo Tobu”, in which he plays the role of a young delinquent who was paralyzed on the lower half of his body after getting into some trouble. There are high expectations for Ninomiya for this role after playing other handicapped characters in dramas such as “DOOR to DOOR” and “Marathon”.

But the fans are more focused on the important things, like his hair color.

“The color is too light, it’s an out-of-fashion blonde”, “What about the black eyebrows?” some fans complain. Even Ninomiya claims that the other Arashi members “drew back beyond my expectations” in response to his hair color. However, there are some champions of justice protecting Ninomiya’s hair color, “This out-of-fashion style is close to the reality of throwing away your life!” “These kind of unsatisfying delinquents exist! They exist!” “When I got used to it, it’s kind of cute.” Of course, in these comments have arose some worries about Ninomiya’s scalp, and this isn’t the first time worries about Ninomiya balding have arose.

“Once at an Arashi concert,” says a Johnny analyst, “the topic ‘Who will become bald first?’ came up, and Ninomiya, Sakurai, and Aiba were all predicted. But Ninomiya was the one considered especially likely. Right now, it’s said his father is in Mr. Namihei’s state, but I’m praying Ninomiya himself doesn’t develop those traits.

From the start Johnny’s idols have been damaging their hair with products, photography lights and dye. Since many Johnny’s live an unsteady life and there are a lot of heavy smokers, they are inclined to have a weak scalp. There are a lot of fans that can accept fat idols, or idols with some whiskers, but can’t accept balding. I hope they protect their hair roots with their life.”

Kuroki Meisa to act in Taiga drama

Thu, 24 May 2012 19:09:00 -0400

On the 24th, it was announced Kuroki Meisa would star in next year’s NHK Taiga drama “Yae no Sakura”. Although the popular actress Kuroki has played the heroine in many dramas before, this is her first time acting in a Taiga drama. Kuroki famously had a sudden marriage with Akanishi Jin, and is expecting a baby in October.

Kuroki, even after her marriage, has continued her activities as an actress. However, for Akanishi, the papers are blank. Due to suddenly marrying Kuroki, Akanishi’s country-wide tour was cancelled. Further, he is to pay all of the fees cost by cancelling the tour, and was forced to step down from the Fuji TV’s remake of “GTO”, scheduled to start in June. It’s unclear if promotion will increase for Akanishi, who is currently awaiting the premier of the Hollywood movie he acts in, “47 RONIN”, due next year.

80% of Japanese polled believe hallyu will end in 4 years

Wed, 16 May 2012 23:38:11 -0400

On the 15th, the Korean newspaper “Seoul Economics” published a survey polling over 3600 people from 9 countries, including Japan, China, the United States, and France. The newspaper reported that over 60% of those polled believe hallyu would end in 4 years. By country, those in Japan who believed it would end in 4 years answered by 80%, Taiwan by 77%, China by 73%, and France by 64%.

According to the same article, 20.5% of those polled cited the reason hallyu would not continue to last long was that “The contents are standard and easy to get tired of.” Furthermore, in terms of K-POP, groups having the same dance and looks, and in terms of drama having the same birth, immorality, revenge, and similar storylines, all were identified as reasons.

Korean netizens have also responded to the article, with one side bearing optimistic views: “I believe we can solve the problem.” “If there’s a problem let’s fix it.” However, critical views were also shared: “You guys finally get it? No one watches dramas except old ladies.” “The guys who show contempt for the Japanese and South East Asians are the problem.” “Koreans don’t have enough creativity. Let’s reflect on it.”

Wed, 16 May 2012 22:31:25 -0400

Kobayashi Susumu has passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. He died at 10:45 in the afternoon on the 16th. He was 58.

Sawajiri Erika suffering from multiple personalities?

Wed, 16 May 2012 20:51:00 -0400

On May 15th, it was revealed actress Sawajiri Erika was on hiatus since mid-May due to poor health. Allegedly, she is suffering from symptoms close to that of multiple personality disorder, and told by her doctor to cease activities.

Since she has made a hole in her career, it’d be proper Sawajiri be criticized, however, these circumstances are different. According to a movie insider, “Lately she’s been strange. At one moment she’s highly emotional, the next she’s depressed… I thought maybe it was multiple personality disorder.” In the movie Helter Skelter, Sawajiri plays a model named Ririko who received plastic surgery on her entire body. In the movie, not only is Sawajiri to reveal her assumed F cup breasts, but she is also to take part in an extreme sex scene and a lesbian scene.

According to the same source, “She was so hoisted to the work she even said things to Director Ninagawa like ‘Let me do it!’ She wouldn’t allow herself to compromise her role.” Sawajiri is after all the type who takes the image of her roles, and make them posses her.

It seems like Sawajiri has captured Ririko’s “darkness”, and now even rumors of her acting strange have arisen. According to an eye-witness, “Just a little before I saw her in Tokyo, in Roppongi, at a membership bar dead drunk. She was sitting alone at the counter, asking people she didn’t even know “Hey, could you get me a drink~” with a coaxing voice. When she got the drinks she didn’t even say thank you, she just dazedly stared at specks on the glass and then continued to drink. I didn’t get it.”

According to Ichibu Shuukanshi, Sawajiri once arrived hungover at filming, making co-star Terajima Shinobu angry. However, there seems like there’s another reason Terajima was angry. Another movie insider reports, “During filming, Director Ninagawa barely directed Sawajiri. She was almost crushed with pressure and anxiety. The two of them are deeply bonded but, from a third point of view, the filming spot looked tense.”

Director Ninagawa herself made a comment concerning Sawajiri the 15th, “Many times reality and fiction are linked, and she’s experienced something where the boundary lines have become blurred. It’s inevitable she’ll need some rest.” Ninagawa also revealed that Sawajiri stated “I can’t escape from Ririko’s character.” According to an insider, at the end of last week Sawajiri got a medical exam from a doctor, and although her ailment was not revealed, there’s no doubt her mind and body are experiencing a breakdown.

Kuroki needs to go nude in order to pay Akanishi's debt

Tue, 15 May 2012 19:52:00 -0400

Even though Kuroki Meisa is currently 4 months pregnant after her shotgun marriage with former KAT-TUN member Akanishi Jin, a tragic reality is awaiting her - debt hell.

“Akanishi’s penalty is a debt around something-million yen. The only one who’s able to pay it back is Kuroki. There’s no other survival way unless Kuroki lay’s her life down to do a sex scene or go nude.” (Entertainment Staff)

Johnny’s Jimusho, who proudly boasts the strictest rules in the entertainment world, has finally abandoned Akanishi. Adding to his national tour being cancelled, Akanishi also had to step down from the July remake of “GTO”. “The fees from cancelling the concert, including hall fees, labor costs, and the penalty for contract breach, all come to around 450 million yen, the full amount which Akanishi must pay. In addition, due to the unprecedented scandal of a main stepping down from the part, a 100 million yen penalty has also been added.” (Informed Source)

For Akanishi, this is equal to a retirement recommendation.

“There’s no way Akanishi, who even though is an artist is still much of a beginner, can carry this 600 million debt. Johnny Kitagawa, who’s always continued to support Jin from whatever scandals have arisen, threw a spoon in rage when he heard the news of the hidden marriage. Immediately after “47 Ronin” ends, the Jimusho is going to expel Akanishi out…” (Pro Entertainment Insider)

For new wife Meisa, trouble is also visiting. “Currently, she stars in 6 companies’ commercials, but it’s in the circumstances of the shock of her shotgun marriage. The chance of her CM contracts behind renewed is low. Further, in the case Akanishi leaves Johnny’s, Meisa’s chance to be used by television stations again drops to zero.” (Industry Insider)

In the end, there’s nothing left for Meisa but a nude fighting scene and for her to pay back the debts. “For movies and photos, it isn’t limited to Johnny’s. If Meisa takes off her clothes it’ll be a hit. Up until now, she’s acted in a bed scene in the drama Jiu. If she does something exposing her nipples and genital hair, she’ll also grab sponsors. There’s also the measure to become a soft porn actress.” (Informed Source)

Divorce theories are also arising…

Maeda Atsuko, an enka singer?

Mon, 14 May 2012 21:47:00 -0400

Ever since Maeda Atsuko made the announcement that she was graduating from AKB48, rumors have been hovering everywhere about her retiring from the entertainment world. In those rumors include Maeda going into “foreign studies”, “an extended break”, and even “Hollywood”.

However, an insider of a key station close to AKB48 informs that something else is developing under the water: Maeda is preparing to make a shocking redebut as an enka singer, “It’s a plan fostered by Akimoto. Akimoto really loves enka, and has supprted a lot of enka artists before. It seems like he’s writing lyrics in the theme of bonds.”

It’s also being rumored that Maeda is moving forward to TBS where she will work as a caster. It’s said she’s taking an offer to work as a show host on a afternoon program that would start in October.

“In order to combat Nippon TV’s Yaneya, or Fuji’s Shiritagari, [TBS] is trying out new tricks. Using Maeda as a caster would be a huge surprise, they are trying to acquire ratings.” (Informed Source)

Netizens worried over Yamada Yu's skinny appearance

Sun, 13 May 2012 16:05:55 -0400

Yamada Yu, who married actor Oguri Shun March 13th, recently uploaded several pictures to her web blog of her slender waist, arms and back. But now worries have arisen over her underweight appearance. Although Yamada displayed a beautiful figure in her last Anan shoot, on the internet netizens are speaking out about the photos:

“Her pelvis is sticking out. Is she anorexic?”

“Is it because being skin and bones is okay? Eat properly and exercise, seeing your bones is pathetic.”

“Is this beautiful from a girl’s point of view? She’s skinnier than Ungarzzle, all I can see is that she’s suffering from anorexia.”

“This isn’t a healthy body, and I can’t call it beautiful.”

“I’ll laugh if Oguri cheats on her with a voluptuous woman because of this.”

“If this is whats known as a “beautiful figure”, then it’s no good.”

Although everything seemed fine at Yamada’s wedding press conference, did she go on a diet after she was married? Or did something else happen? Perhaps shes going on a diet for her wedding ceremony.

So, is Yamada Yu suffering from something? Judge for yourself:

It's just not Arashi, AV Actress who committed suicide had relations with other Johnny's

Sat, 12 May 2012 14:02:00 -0400

- The following is a Requested Throwback from November 2010 Cyzo-

Last week, the AV Actress AYA who committed suicide by jumping off a building has become a topic in the entertainment world, as her relationship with various Johnny’s talents and pictures with several other talents are printed in Shuukan Bunshun on the 4th. In the issue, not only is her acknowledgement as the Arashi eater exposed, by so are her friendships with Nagase Tomoya of TOKIO and Imai Tsubasa.

In the beginning, the Arashi member AYA first had a relation with was Matsumoto Jun, who she met in middle school before the formation of the group. Later on, she gained relationships with Ohno Satoshi, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Aiba Masaki, but only Sakurai Sho was said to have had a bad relationship with her. Even further, Aya, who is from Kansai, also had an intimate friendship with Kanajni∞’s Shibutani Subaru and Nishikido Ryo.

AYA’s debut in the entertainment world started when she debuted as a member of “L☆IS”, produced by Komuro Tetsuya. After the breakup of ”L☆IS”, AYA worked a steady life as a promotion girl, but later on in the May of next year made her debut as an AV actress. AYA, who was already a Johnny’s fan beforehand, first gained a liking to V6’s Morita Go, but it’s said to no avail was she able to meet him. However, in Bunshun, an industry insider reveals AYA had many relationships with numerous Johnny’s:

“Practically in no time after her debut, she first began to have sexual relationships with ‘Y’ from a group born in the Heisei era. She also talked about how the bed’s of the Johnny’s she slept with looked, or how even though theres rumors that Tanaka Koki suffers from premature ejaculation, she insisted that’s actually not the case and he’s actually pretty good (laughs).”

In 2006, Tanaka Koki’s date spot with AYA was photoed by a weekly pictorial magazine, but from 2007 onward AYA was completely blacklisted by Johnny’s Jimusho. Around the same time in 2007, AYA posted pictures on her blog, one involving a shot with Komire Rena. Komire since 2007 started dating KAT-TUN’s Taguchi Junnosuke, and in that way isn’t AYA having a relationship with Johnny’s…

The person who is said to be the source of the leakage of photos for Ohno’s marijuana threesome, and Matsumoto’s and Sakurai’s foursome is AYA. It seems like AYA’s relationships with Johnny’s talents is actually more than imagined. However, the full story of her relationships with them will not be revealed any longer.

80% of K-Pop's sales come from Japan

Sat, 12 May 2012 00:22:00 -0400

In Korea, a problem has arisen regarding the business of hallyu. Although the country’s reach has has expanded across the globe, profits of the Korean Wave still remain 99% in Asia, and profits even in Korea do not reach high to that extent. Already, there are estimates that the influence of hallyu will end in roughly 5 years, and currently Korea’s “national prestige” is standing at a crossroad.

“3 Times the Olympics”

In March, Korea’s Economic newspaper published a report about how Korea’s hallyu wave effects it’s economy. Factoring in exports like music and dramas, in 2003 profits were 86 million dollars, but jumped to a staggering 220 million dollars in 2008. For K-Pop between 2007 and 2010, it has risen from 189 million dollars to 313 million dollars.

This has had a ripple effect on all of Korea’s industries, crossing over entertainment and culture. In 2012, it’s estimated the car industry brought a result of a 2.7 trillion won increase (about 190 billion yen), and broad industries like games, food, tourism, consumer electronics are seeing an increase in about 12 trillion won. At this rate, it’s estimated that all these industries will rise to 19.8 trillion won in 2015, and 57 trillion won in 2020.

License Barriers

On that note, the problem arises with the high degree of dependence the Korean Wave has on Japan. Although K-Pop has mainlined to the point where concerts are now held in the West, Asia accounts for 99% of K-Pop’s sales, with Japan taking up 80% of it.

According to the Korean Economic Newspaper, when calculating the revenue of the 5-member idol group KARA’s activity in Japan, including character goods and performances, 84% of it is given to the Japanese distributors, a remaining 8% left to Japanese promoters. The final left-over profits for KARA’s entertainment agency is only an 8%, an amount said not be close to enough money.

Oingyu, head of the Hallyu Research Center in Daejeon, Korea points out the main problem hallyu holds is that it is “attaching too much onto Japan” and it’s ongoing “revenue imbalance”. Regarding that circumstance, although Japan is K-Pop’s biggest market in the world, Korean industry cannot directly sell in Japan due to “licensing agreements”.

In Korea, recognition of the revenue imbalance is gaining strength, and although Korea is directly tied up with Japan in the telecommunications industry, and are attempting to find a way around online music selling, the view that it’s “impossible to operate in Japan but ignore Japan’s entertainment distribution network,” as stated by Korean company promoters, has become a popular view.

The final blow to all of this is a poll taken in by a economic newspaper. This February, the paper asked 1,200 people made up of Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese people questions regarding hallyu. 62% of people believed hallyu would end within 5 years, and 18% believed hallyu is already ending. Combined, 80% already have negative outlooks on the future of hallyu.

Although Korea wants to break away from Japan’s market as being K-Pop’s singular dependence, if it leaves business will almost cease to exist. It seems even hallyu itself is bringing about a dilemma in Korea.

Mizukawa Asami two-timed with Aiba and Nino?

Fri, 11 May 2012 22:36:00 -0400

Currently, news is spreading about Mizukawa Asami’s late night date with actor Koide Keisuke. However, in the past, there was a period when Mizukawa was dubbed the “Arashi Killer”. Before her relationship with Koide, Mizukawa was rumored to be with Aiba Masaki. The two met on the set of the 2004 movie “PIKA☆NCHI LIFE IS HARD DAKEDO HAPPY” and began to go out.

However, in 2008 due to their busy schedules, their relationship collapsed. The next year the two began to date once more, but in a short time they broke up once again.

Being that Mizukawa went out with Aiba for an extended period of time would not be enough to call her an “Arashi Killer”, but the real problem starts when Mizukawa began to go out with Ninomiya Kazunari.

Mizukawa and Ninomiya first became a rumor in 2010, during the period when Ninomiya was progressing with Nagasawa Masami. Interestingly enough, Nagasawa and Mizukawa are close friends.

“At that time, when Ninomiya was living in an apartment in Nakameguro, he was secretly meeting with Mizukawa. Even though Aiba was Mizukawa’s boyfriend, and even more, Mizukawa was close friends with Nagasawa, the two met alone without their respective partners. It’s only a wonder what kind of conversations they had. One theory is that because of the two-timing, Aiba and Mizukawa’s relationship collapsed.” (Nikkan Sports Reporter)

However, rumors persist that Aiba and Mizukawa’s relationship is still continuing, and that Mizukawa’s relationship with Koide is just a “disguise love”.

Arashi is said to be the group that’s very close, but with these kind of complicated relationships, are they really?

Netizens complain about Kamenashi's sudden weight gain

Fri, 11 May 2012 21:18:00 -0400

Kamenashi Kazuya is set to star in his first solo movie leading part in the antipated 2013 movie “Ore Ore”, directed by Miki Satoshi, but it seems instead of his movie, Kamenashi’s sudden weight gain has become a hot topic on the internet.

For the movie itself, Kamenashi is said to play a scam artist who employs over 20 different roles, including a military enthusiast, a big breasted woman, and a man who’s whole body is covered in tattoos. The movie is set to be shot from the beginning of this month to the middle of next month.

Kamenashi commented on the role, “Although it’s a unique story, this is my first time being so close to playing roles of everyday people you’d find anywhere, so I’d like people to look forward to seeing me act in a natural state.”

Although Kamenashi’s movie shooting is set to start from today, on the internet the topic is all about Kamenashi’s sudden weight increase, as netizens complained about his appearance: “Kamenashi is too fat!” “His body is too much like a middle aged man’s.” “His cheeks are dull.” ”His clothes are out of fashion.” “The fat under his lower jaw has fused with his neck.” “His eyelids look like they have eyelid glue on them.”

On a brighter note, Kamenashi’s movie is also set to be sold overseas, and even abroad the expectations of Kamenashi and Director Miki’s combination continue to rise.
