I just listened to Yamapi's YOU album and I have to say I'm really into it. Much better than his EDM work imo.

NEWS to sing the opening theme for drama 'Yotsuba Ginko'

Quote:
NEWS' new song "Top Gun" will be used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo's new drama 'Yotsuba Ginko Harashima Hiromi ga Monomosu: Kono Hito ni Kakeru' to premiere on January 21.

'Yotsuba Ginko' is based on a manga by Shu Ryoka and Yumeno Kazuko that was serialised in 'Morning' from 1993 to 1997. Maki Yoko plays 'Harashima Hiromi,' a bank worker who helps to restore branches with her bold ideas and actions.

"Top Gun" was written just for the drama, and it portrays "expectations" and "the feeling that a storm is coming." It's been nine years since NEWS last provided their song for a drama.

The drama's third episode will feature a guest appearance from NEWS member Kato Shigeaki. He commented, "I enjoyed reading the delightful and heartfelt story. I am looking forward to participating in the shoot."
http://www.tokyohive.com/article/201...-yotsuba-ginko

Somehow I don't think Top Gun will be included in WORLDISTA , we'll see and the part that goes 'the feeling that a storm is coming' made me lol cos it sounds like something ARASHI is capable of , not NEWS x)

Capitalizing titles of some songs aren't uncommon in Japan...

Not that I know of any particular reason why so . Yamapi didn't mention about it during the 2 CDTV Artist File episodes and also during Buzz Rhythm 02 , Love music & The Covers

Yamapi was only asked about the reason on why UNLEASHED was quite heavily English language driven

Also on a side note , it's a bit of a shame that the same photos were included in both CD + DVDs booklets of UNLEASHED , Sony could have included different photos of Yamapi to make things slightly better

I don't know about the CD only cos I didn't buy it

Quite aware of that fact. Was curious if there might have been a reason other than stylistic. Everything was packaged so stylishly and nice. The random capitalization took a bit away from it imo. But watevs.

I see, thank you! What did he say about the heavy English use?

Not exactly related to UNLEASHED but what the translated interview talks about explains why in recent years Yamapi chose to sharpen his English usage skills

Yamapi for years has been influenced by Western culture , partially cos of his BFF but back then his English pronunciation was quite poor especially way back when he released SUPERGOOD, SUPERBAD

Listening to UNLEASHED made me sense just how much Yamapi's English pronunciation has improved tremendously over the years . At least what Yamapi sings/said , I can understand instead of some weird random rambling & to a certain extent , the English lyrics of some songs does make sense despite the occasional questionable moment

For Yamapi to host Otona no Kiss Eigo , that also no doubt has helped him a great deal

You can check out his 1st mini dance album Asobi , it's almost like a prelude to what UNLEASHED offers

All the songs in Asobi EP are all dance but yet they're all really great and I don't really like dance songs to begin with

Yamapi's other studio albums were equally good & versatile . YOU is quite radio friendly but the others like Ero & A NUDE are less mainstream but still worth listening to

Debut album SUPERGOOD , SUPERBAD has 2 discs kinda like Kuu's W FACE . SUPERGOOD has radio friendly safe songs while SUPERBAD is a lot more westernised

Frankly out of all the Johnnys that left groups to pursue solo careers , Yamapi is the only 1 that I still follow back when he 1st released Daite Senorita in 2006 until now

Frankly not surprised NEWS will be doing another Arena tour this year to promote WORLDISTA but what I'm surprised is that the tour will conclude at Nagano which normally does not happen as usually the last date of the tour might be in Tokyo , Yokohama , Chiba or Osaka

Hopefully my friend is able to get hold of tickets for NEWS LIVE TOUR 2019 WORLDISTA as she's in the fanclub & just so happened 1 of the tour dates fall on the same day as her birthday so if she's able to get it , it will be even more meaningful for her

Yamapi will be playing the lead role in TBS drama adaptation of Acato Ao's manga In Hand





In Hand centres on Yamapi solving difficult cases as the eccentric scientist Himokura Tetsu , an expert in the study of parasites . How he ended up with a prosthetic right arm is still a mystery

TBS will start broadcasting In Hand from April onwards & the last time Yamapi played a lead drama role for TBS was 2015's Algernon ni Hanataba wo

For now , there's no word if Yamapi will provide the theme song for In Hand

More details on Yamapi's upcoming starring drama role regarding In Hand

Quote:
Yamashita Tomohisa will be starring in a brand new drama series. “In Hand” is a manga series that was created by Acato Ao.

Acato originally launched In Hand only around three years ago in March 2016, originally as a mini-series. After proving to be a success, then it started to receive a regular serialisation in October 2018.

The story revolves around Dr. Himokura, a doctor who specialises in parasitic infections. Rich, powerful, and good looking, the one thing that really sets him apart is his mechanical right arm. A typical story line sees Dr. Himokura tackle various medical mysteries.

Naturally, Yamapi will be playing the role of Dr. Himokura. While filming the show Yamapi actually wore a real “robot hand”, described by him as “cool, VERY COOL!“. When asked about the original manga Yamapi said once he began reading he was hooked. It’s engaging while still being very educational, learning a lot about parasites and microorganisms in particular.

The live-action In Hand will air on TBS during the spring drama season in April.
