Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya wins Best Actor at Tokyo Drama Awards

Arashi’s Kazunari Ninomiya’s 2010 drama “フリーター、家を買う (Freeter, Ie wo Kau)” won three awards at this year’s Tokyo Drama Awards, which held its ceremony on October 24, reports Daily Sports Online and Tokyo Walker.

The drama took out Best Actor, Best Drama Series, and Best Producer.

“I’m thankful for being given this prestigious award. The time I spent on this project has meant a lot to me,” Ninomiya said.

It has been reported ceremony host Koji Ishizaka teased Ninomiya, saying that “everyone in Arashi is good at acting, but aren’t you standing out a lot more than the others, Ninomiya-san?”

“No! Not at all! I can’t comment on that,” Ninomiya said in return, making the crowd laugh.

This year marks the fourth Tokyo Drama Awards. Not only do the awards celebrate acting and show quality, but it also puts the spotlight on TV dramas that show potential in an overseas market.

Short PV for Meikyuu Love Song



The members find themselves in a puzzle land where they tackle various adventures, like dueling against a skeleton, riding on bicycles, and learning how to ‘escape’.

This's probably hands down going to be my fave PV from the guys which they released this year , it's a very entertaining if not pretty original concept

"the adventures of puzzle storm" - so cute! lol. and the PV (so far) is amazing. it's so creative! and the boys are adorable. :heart i love jun's sword fight with that skeleton guy, haha. and i love when all of them were running when it said "escape". :laugh

i'm totally gonna love the full PV. hopefully it'll be out soon!

avex Taiwan will release Meikyuu Love Song on 18th Nov

收錄於 11/18預定發行單曲「嵐 / 迷宮戀曲」中

Also the NINKI index for the single will be out later today too

Arashi get show on NHK

Arashi fans will see their favourite stars meeting people and finding new things in different areas around Japan in their special show on NHK, reports Oricon and Chunichi Sports.

“嵐の明日に架ける旅 (Arashi no Ashita ni Kakeru Tabi)” will be shown on November 23 at 19:30 local time in Japan, and will feature all of the Arashi members going around Japan to find inspiring stories to cheer on the Japanese people getting over from the March 11 disaster.

It has been reported Satoshi Ohno had visited Miyagi prefecture, and met a group of people putting on superhero shows for children in the earthquake disaster zone. Kazunari Ninomiya had visited Wakayama prefecture, and went to a family-run soy sauce factory determined to keep using an almost 200-year-old recipe. Jun Matsumoto had visited a small factory in Saitama prefecture, which creates accessories that have become a must-have for celebrities around the globe. Sho Sakurai had visited Toyama prefecture where he met at woman who made the decision to go home and help her parents on their farm. Masaki Aiba had met a goggle-eyed goby fisherman with a unique way of fishing, and tries it himself.

“Through this show, I learnt about Japanese people, their skills, traditions, and how close they are to one another. I hope everyone can get a sense of how amazing it was,” Ninomiya said.

Arashi travels around Japan for NHK’s special program

Arashi have donned their traveling gear once again for a special NHK program called “Arashi no Asu ni Kakeru Tabi“. It’s a special documentary that seeks to rediscover the will and strength of the Japanese people. Consequently, the members travel all over the nation, interviewing outstanding individuals who possess great potential in shepherding Japan’s future.

Ninomiya Kazunari visits a soy sauce brewery in Yuasa-cho, Wakayama, which has more than 170 years of history. He commented, “We were able to learn about the numerous people, skills, traditions, and ties in Japan. We would like everyone to feel how wonderful it was.”

Leader Ohno Satoshi introduces “Eager”, the local hero of Onagawa town in Miyagi prefecture. He also meets the people from Onagawa’s Commerce and Industry section, who continues to hold hero shows for local kids even after the Tohoku earthquake.

Matsumoto Jun visits a small factory in Kawaguchi-city, Saitama, which makes bags and small articles that are loved by stars all over the world. He investigates the background behind these beloved items.

As for Sakurai Sho, he flies to Toyama-city, Toyama, where he meets a 25-year-old lady who chose to work for her parents’ farm. It’s an unusual decision for modern times, and so he seeks to discover her reason to farm.

Finally, Aiba Masaki visits Kashima-city, Saga, where he partakes in “Mutsukake fishing”, which is a unique way to fish the mudskippers in the Ariake Sea. He tackles the challenge of tideland fishing, and encounters a young man who’s apparently the first successor in 30 years for this old fishing tradition.

“Arashi no Asu ni Kakeru Tabi” will air on November 23rd at 7:30 PM JST.

all the b-sides are really good, too. i love the sakurap in "Utakata". it's sad that it's so short. :weep but it was amazing while it lasted, haha. sho never fails. :cool i also really love "together, forever", and "wanna be...".

overall, this is another amazing single from arashi. :D

Neko!Riida :smitten


The song grew on me a lot, because I did not like it in the previews!
I also like the other songs, especially "WANNA BE"!


It has been some time since I've been so excited about an Arashi-release , but they did a great job this time!
I'm proud of the boys! :yes

finally a creative PV from them...not just standing and singing and dancing only...but there is concept on it
although the execution is kinda flat to me...but still a nice PV and love the song!!!

aha, i really liked the PV. it was really cute! :)

and i like "together, forever" a lot. i think it's the best b-side.
