Miho Hayashi-san (movie commentary) today’s twitter, I have watched pre-release of Platinum date. the day before yesterday. this is based of same name novel release next year. cast except Kazunari Ninomiya-kun and Mr. Eiji Toyokara are not announced. I can comment about not only content but also about theme song. so I can report I have watched it.
Men’s Cyzo <Nozomi Saraki looked totally out of it during shooting by heartbreak by breakup with Kazunari Ninomiya…> shw quite all of variety shows, and her fashion brand “Cotton Cloud” is out of business, Nozomi Sasaki seemed nonplused. but she appears serial drama “Tokyo Airport” but at shooting she seems abstracted-looking. women magazine reporter says “partially at weekly magazine she looked at her boss role Saburo Tokitou (54) with heart was published. but she had boyfriend that was taken photo of 2. this was Kazunari Ninomiya (29) of Arashi. at first I thought it was cheating heart. but when I researched. it seems they already broke up this August. that’s why she has heartbreak, seems she is half-hearted to work.” love of 2 was reported last May by Josei Seven, seemed they started dating around 2010 start by co-staring at the show. that time no photo evidence, some says it was just for promotional action. but later at “weekly Bunshu” photo of 2 that snuggle up and the photo of Ninomiya hold same puppy that she introduced as friend’s dog at her blog were leaked. 2 rented rooms at same high class apartment. seems they half cohabitated. but people around them strongly oppose to them. Sasaki changed her carrier from model to an actress, but she got bad reputation such as she hardly memorizes her lines. she hardly get track of actress carrier. she nearly gave up work, she mumbled “want to get married and have kids soon” but what Jonny’s agency hardly approves their talent marriage is pretty known. Ninomiya doesn’t intention to get marry with her, in the end, this came to break up by missing each other. there’s information that Ninomiya has new girl friend. Ninomiya’s date was seen with his manager. this girl is approved by Johnny’s agency. same weekly mag reporter says “Sasaki got sick hearing this rumor. actually this partner is a lady type that is completely opposite to Sasaki former bad-girl. she is bad reputation as an actress. but there’s not such beauty face women. it’s pity she insists her ex-boy friend. I hope she get new boy friend and bring back shining.”

Orista article <cover photo is “adult joke!?” Sho Sakruai talks about long-waited Arashi new album> long waited album Popcorn was released. Labyrinth love song of Sakurai-san starring Problem-solving is after dinner as drama theme song and many other popular tunes are included. S: Labyrinth love song released last year, this could be oldest. Q: as usually Arashi album releases in summer, as this summer you had Ara-fes. there must be many disappointed people who thought no concert tour or album release this year. in this circumstance Ara-fest was announced. roar must be tremendous. S: this is never-release-fraud (grin) but we didn’t have thought that we never release an album. Q: it was timing. S: this is so, we insisted to announce it at site of Ara-fes and in front of audiences. we thought, we have to announce this timing, fans must get worry. (we wanted to enjoy) the sense of surprise when we announced it. we have never announced something new at out concert site. we wanted them to be pleased. Q: did you thought it was worth to announce it in front of audiences, looking at audiences reaction? S: I listened the announcement changing costume in the back of stage, reaction was big. I didn’t know this was reaction about album or tour? Q: this could be both. S: I wonder. after all, reaction was big. it was good. if this came silent… (grin) Q: it was quite new, title was Popcorn, lately original album was pretty mellow. S: it was rather say departure point or concept. personally, I want to release just cheerful and fun album. so we just hold theme “create a pop album”. actually because last year and previous year heavy-hitting albums were continued. Q: did you gathered and selected tunes with theme of pop? S: however I say pop with a word, this is vary by people. however this was our theme. we don’t know it very much. at first we discussed this. and about 20 tunes that director brought were a bit different from the Pop we thought. so pop that we thought it was easy to understand, actually this was vary by people, it was year 2012 to learnt it. Q: is there any difference among 5? S: not really, not much difference. but it’s not fun to be completely same. we researched pop going this way and that way. Q: but tile impression is certainly Pop. S: after deciding concept, we thought about title in parallel with selecting tune. really so various ideas came up. who proposed “Popcorn”? Matsujun? me? (he checks with staff) me? I remember the idea such as “Popping garden”…. after all, many ideas came up, someone said Popcorn, staff says it’s me. I think it was Matsujun. currently don’t know this was from who. Q: at cover of CD you show Popcorn photo. did you wanted to make pop visually as well? S: this was adult’s gag. Q: this is so cool including logo. S: at first we wanted to make a cover like a comic. how about wearing full-body suit!? actually many ideas came up. what was common to all was acting funny a bit. this settled to Popcorn man. Q: Popcorn man. we didn’t have this kind of image for while.S: no, we haven’t done it at cover of album. we have done seriously so far. (grin) Q: as image of Arashi, this was betray in good sense. S: after all, actually we can’t do this unless now. if this was around we just made debut. actually we made big one almost naked around debut. we hardly go beyond it. after all this was because we can this now. this rather say adult gag, how to say, “let’s do it for an amusement” I don’t know this was right. well let’s do it amusingly.
