He makes them explain the whole plot to him before Yamada-kun snaps, "Shouldn't you just read the manga!?"

[NEWS ZERO 3/28]

Sakurai-caster's comment on NEWS being the main personalities for this year's 24-Hour Television:

"24-Hour Television is not just for 24 hours. In fact, I think it connects people before and after the program. In 2013, I went to do a report about a choir performance and met high school students in the disaster area. And then the other day, I met one of them during his coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, I really felt how much 24-Hour Television connected us.

Therefore, I hope from now on for 24-Hour Television, NEWS members will be able to form connections with people before and after the programme, too."

Someone teased comedian NON-STYLE's Inoue-san who has been calling himself "Sakurai Sho's best friend" on Twitter.

"Inoue-san! What do you think about your best friend, Sakurai-kun, looking so cool?"

"He's my friend! Of course he's cool."

YesAsia's description of I seek / Daylight

Arashi brings the double A-side I seek / Daylight for their 49th single! The theme song of Ohno Satoshi's drama Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi, I seek is a bright, groovy and positive number about the dilemmas of a man who is clumsy in matters of love. Meanwhile, Daylight is the warm theme song of Matsumoto Jun's drama 99.9.

Able to personally see Sakurai in person when he came here was a surreal experience

And yes I recognise the 2nd photo , Sakurai chilling out at Raffles Hotel x)

Facial expression of TOKIO's Joshima is priceless

[Shabekuri 4/4, when asked to describe Aiba]

Ohno: I've never met a nicer person.

Ohno's mom STILL buys his clothes for him

In his mom's defense, Ohno says she has a pretty good fashion sense.

Bless Ohno's mum for the good (or worst ?) , LOL

[KarenPang]

Apparently V6's Okada Junichi has a list of his "Most Kawaii Kouhai".

- Ikuta Toma, Fukushi Sota, Sometani Shota (the cutest in their 20's)
- JUMP's Inoo Kei (his gestures, especially)
- Sakurai Sho aka Bambi (Johnny's No.1)

Umm ok flattery will get you somewhere ?

[KarenPang]

Q: Who would seem fun to spend an off day with?

(Kis-My-Ft2) Fujigaya Taisuke: "(Sakurai) Sho-kun. Not only having dinner, I want to spend the whole day with Sho-kun. I want to see how Sho-kun usually spends his off days. If I arrive at the meeting place 30 minutes earlier and Sho-kun is there, we can depart immediately!"

LOL creepy much Fujigaya ? :x

Arashi to start face checks at their concerts

Johnny's group Arashi's live tickets have been said to be the most hard to get among all tickets in Japan. Due to this, the tickets often get sold with unbelievable prices on internet auction sites.

To stop this, Arashi has announced that they will start checking everyone's faces when they enter the concert venues. From now on you will need to provide a picture of your face when you apply for the tickets on their Official Fanclub, and your face will be checked on the concert day when you enter the venue.

http://www.musicjapanplus.jp/news/1/...heir-concerts/

so technically you're treated like a criminal before attending ARASHI "Japonism Show" in ARENA

but seeing that theirconcert tickets can be sold for over 10 million yen in the black market , guess this's the last resort ?

[ZIP 8/4] Once at a staff's farewell party, Aiba rushed to hug the staff who was leaving and slightly kissed him by mistake.

Aiba played Daylight on his Rekomen radio show



I thought Daylight might be a full out dark song but it's surprisingly upbeat

And of course anything with Sakurap is a win

I look forward to hear I seek

[Beauty4123]

"Daylight" is so gorgeous, so beautiful, so...amazing! I just love how upbeat it is & it's already put me in such a happy mood, that I can't stop listening to it! Plus, Sho's rapping is so on-point, as usual. I love it. Seriously can't wait for the PV and to hear more of "I seek", now. I also cannot wait for both Ohno's & Jun's dramas, which start next week! So excited!

[KarenPang]

NEWS's Tegoshi was featured on Sat's Arashi ni Shiyagare under the This is MJ vs This is Tego segment

https://www.facebook.com/28372528711...4154197632112/

From last week's episode of Shabekuri 007

Riida rounds off Arashi’s solo appearances on Shabekuri 007.

His comments on members:

Kazu: the least celebrity-like among Arashi members, even if he had won the Japan Academy Award.

Sho: the shadow leader whom he’s thankful for.

Masaki: an extremely good person who doesn’t lose his temper. Talking about the New Year SP where Masaki was pranked continuously, Riida commented about how Masaki never lost his smile. He said he’d have wanted to go home had it happened to himself.

Jun (not in the same segment): about how fashionable our youngest is in sunglasses (they even provided a pair of “Matsujun”-kind of sunglasses to try in the hands on segment). When he comes into the green room, he’d take off the sunglasses to casually leave on the table, and Riida would think, “How fashionable~~”.

"The progress of Sakurai Sho x Fujigaya Taisuke relationship is too amazing.

FUJIGAYA: I really want Sho-kun's phone number! And whenever you're free, please invite me out. I just want to see Sho-kun!

SHO: Going out with me will be tough. But if you really want it, let's!

FUJIGAYA: My heart is all prepared for it. If I'm gonna go out with Sho-kun, I won't be able to sleep for a week!

(After a few years going out together....)

FUJIGAYA: I want to spend my off day with Sho-kun. Not only having dinner, but the whole day. I'll go to the meeting place 30 minutes earlier so that if Sho-kun's there, we can depart immediately!

Yup, that's how we work on a relationship."

Sakurai & Fujigaya's broromance <3

[KarenPang]

Ohno played I seek on Monday during his ARASHI DISCOVERY radio show



Not so sure if it's because my expectations were high but I was hoping for another Calling / Breathless but guess not

So far , Daylight is definitely better than I seek no thanks to Sakurap

Then again since both songs are quite low quality , I give them the benefit of the doubt for the time being

[Beauty4123]

"I seek" is adorable! I'm already totally loving it. I'd say I'd love it even more in full, though, or at least when I've seen the first episode of Ohno's drama...which has aired today! Too bad I've gotta wait 'til it's subbed, to watch. It better be subbed soon, though, I don't think I could wait much longer!

The covers are ok but they didn't made me go wow and rather amusingly , the CD only cover reminds me of KAT-TUN's FACE to Face o_O

Also , 1st episode of Ohno's Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi drama which started airing on Wed was 12.8%

[KarenPang]

Also.. Sho-san said Matsujun went to talk to him in the dressing room and let him read "99.9" scripts to help him write rap lyrics for DAYLIGHT.

Some fans were surprised, but actually... They're used to spending time together in dressing rooms. During Lucky Seven and Nazodi, their dressing rooms were side by side.

SHO: "Sometimes I went to hang out in Matsujun's room."

That's so cool

Sho-san's message for Kumamoto Earthquake victims in Otonoha today is simple, but meaningful.

"We're praying for your fear to lessen, even a bit.
We're praying here in Tokyo from our hearts."

Sending condolences to those who were affected by last night's earthquake in Kumamoto
