Kame & Jun's Double DateFriday, June 27, 2008
Kamenashi Kazuya was seen with Matsumoto Jun and two other pretty girls at a soccer match. It was supposed that they have gone on a double date to watch a soccer match.
This +1 Football Match features Nakata Hidetoshi. They were seen sitting in the VIP section in side by side, Matsujun's date, Matsujun, some random guy, Kame and then Kame's girl.
As most people who were there, are probably hardcore soccer fans, they are not really concern about who were sitting near them except for a few people closest to them. Kame and Jun seemed very comfortable talking and behaving intimately in an open public space with their dates, enjoying themselves.
However, at about 42 minutes after kickoff, Kame's face appeared on the big screen, to his left you could see a guy wearing a black shirt and on the right was the shoulder of a girl with straight brown hair wearing a black and white striped shirt. A quick shot i guess. Other observers noticed Kame's date resembles the model Rina (who has been linked to Akanishi Jin) and Kame's date. Jun's date was said to be very pretty as well so it is highly possible that both of them are in the industry too.
When questioning Rina's agency, they commented, "She was doing a location shoot for ViVi in Izu and Shimoda (in Shizuoka) at 7pm. And it was confirmed she was in Shimoda until about 8 - 9pm and arrived at Tokyo only after midnight. If she was out with Kamenashi it would be okay (not bad for her image), we would not mind but it was someone else. She's half Japanese, half American so people often mistake similar looking girls for her."
This was published in the 26th June 2008 issue of Josei Seven. I was wondering if there is any picture, please share if you have it! =)

Leah Dizon appeared in Shibuya on 25th June 2008 to introduce her 5th single “Vanilla”.
Leah was dressed in cute maid costume, serving vanilla ice cream. About 2,000 people (i doubt they are ALL fans) gathered in front of the little ice cream caravan-bus
Leah promoting her new single, saying the new song is “pure and sweet" and presented vanilla ice cream together with the new CD to fans
I thought her legs look very odd in this maid costume. Over-built? Looks too muscular and not soft and fluffy like those skin of the maids we see in animes. Well... Considering Leah is trying a different style compared to her car model sexiness in the past. Let's keep our mouths shut. LOL

Nakai Masahiro and Koda Kumi had an overnight stay at upscale inn in Yugawara, Kanagawa and Friday magazine caught snaps of the couple. Josei Seven had reported a similar story saying they were together at an inn in Hakone several weeks back. Looks like these two are still going strong and loving.
Both agencies commented that it was a private matter and had no comment.
Nakai drove them in his Benz and on the way there they will stop to take pictures/video of the scenery and each other. That sound so sweet doesn it!
Later an interview with Nakai's mom was published. She has strangely commented that "no, she has never heard of her son and Koda Kumi dating, not even once." She had only met Koda Kumi serveral times during SMAP concerts, and that the meetings were really rare. Madam Nakai thought Koda Kumi looked really cute(kawaii).
When asked if she wanted her son to marry soon, she commented that "I'll leave marriage plans up to him. It's his own choice."
Her preferred marriage partner for Nakai should have a "bright character, but does not talk too much". Though Koda Kumi scored a "cute" grade, she do not really fit in the "do not talk too much" category. HAHA!
It is funny the pictures are all out and Madam Nakai still have no clue about it.

o Akanishi Jin was seen to be spending nights at a gay bar in Shinjuku's Ni-choume district in late May 2008. FYI, Ni-choume is known for its gay scene.
o Nakamaru Yuuichi has entered Waseda University. It was said he was hoping to have a second chance at getting with announcer Takashima Aya, who rejected him in the past. He will be producing his own 90-minute show called "Nakamaru-kun no Tanoshii Jikan". Being a One-man show, he will also be in charge of planning and directing.
Nakamaru is actually the first member of KAT-TUN to get a solo show, and he said he was uncertain about it when discussions started in January. Nakamaru commented that he has tried to squeeze everything he wants to try into the performances, which are scheduled to run for about 90 minutes each. Segments include song, dance, beatboxing, and skits."Nakamaru-kun no Tanoshii Jikan" will first run at The Globe Tokyo from 10th August till 24th August 2008.
o And now Tatsuya Ueda will be the first to hold a solo concert. The concert will take place in September 2008 at the specially constructed Johnnys Theater in Aomi, Tokyo.
Ueda is currently scheduled to perform 13 songs across various genres such as rock, dance, ballad, and folk. He wrote and composed the songs himself. In addition, Ueda will be in charge of directing and producing his first one-man stage show. Ueda said that he will also demonstrate what he has gained from his hobby of boxing. For roughly the past three years, he has been going to the gym almost daily, developing a well-trained physique.

Maki Goto at Annual Avex Concert & Koda Kumi's Breakdown
Maki Goto is making a Comeback with her newly signed contract with Avex Trax. After being "frozen" for several months due to her brother's theft arrest in last October 2007 and sentence of 5 years jail. Now things are finally looking better for the Goto family.
Her blog indicated during her One-Month stay in Los Angeles, she took up dance and vocal trainings to be better prepare herself for this comeback. Leaving her Upfront-Artist Agency, Maki Goto is now rightfully signed under Avex Trax.
Maki has performed on Avex's 20th anniversary celebration on last Sunday 22nd June 2008, holding its annual concert for stockholders. 11 other Avex stars like Ayumi Hamasaki and Koda Kumi are scheduled to perform. However, Ayu was absent due to her national tour.
The remaining artists who performed as per scheduled, are Exile, Namie Amuro, Noriyuki Makihara and Ai Otsuka, Koda Kumi and Maki Goto.
Koda Kumi cried and apologised to the stockholders during the concert regarding the "rotten womb" incident that was broadcast over the radio late January this year 2008.
I guess the incident did not really affect the Avex stockholders as Avex had recorded 104.6 billion yen sales in 2007, which is the highest in its 20-year history. Money sucking huh?

The band Mr.Children will be singing the theme song for Fuji TV medical drama "Code Blue," which was publicly announced last month in May.
"Code Blue," starring Tomohisa Yamashita, Yui Aragaki, and Erika Toda, starts its run on July 3, Thursday. It is highly anticipated by many as these rising stars come together for such a serious medical drama.
It is also used to be compared with Yamapi's best friend, Toma Ikuta's new drama "Maou" will be airing on Friday nights. So the ratings will be compared definitely.
I am sure it does not ruin their long years of friendship. LOL

On Yui's 20th Birthday on 11th June, she officially declared to close her blog at Ameblo.
According to her last entry," Today is my 20th birthday, which is the end of my teenage life. Since I started the blog for a limited time until Jan 1, 2008, and extended the closure date, it is the right time to end it today. I really appreciate my fans who post more than 1,000 comments whenever I write an entry.”
For Yui's every post, there will be at least 1000 - 5000 comments left by fans. I wonder if she really have the time to read ALL of them though. This also pushed Yui Aragaki's blog to be the top in among all the Ameblo celebrities' blogs.
Anyway, Yui is moving on to be an adult. Omedetto Yui chan.

In the messy showbiz industry, being street-smart is really important to keep yourself safe and loved by people.
Yet Ayase Haruka was said to be the number 1 Baka (stupid person) in the entertainment world. She stood out among the other few celebrities like Kinoshita Yukina and halfie-looking model Suzanne, who are all known for their air-headed and baka-antics. But it was said when the cameras are not around, these people have steady characters with self-awareness and not that stupid after all.
And Ayase Haruka was said that she cannot even read secondary school-level Kanji characters and have little thought of consequences. Sometimes fellow talents ask her for her number with cunning motives that almost everyone can sense yet Ayase cannot see it. It is bad huh?
In order to protect Ayase from getting into trouble / pregnant, her company had issued an order to her to preserve her chastity. LOL. How amusing.
Ayase, your acting is great and you are really cute but it is high time to get smart!

We were pretty disappointed to learn about this news that Oguri was seen introducing another girl as his girlfriend to his close friend, Kamiji Yusuke’s family.
The full story goes, Oguri travelled outta Tokyo to Uraga to visit his Kamiji's family. He brought along a girl with him which was said not to be Yamada Yuu, according to Kamiji's neighbor.
To bring a girl this far outta Tokyo to visit a friend's family together. Then Oguri is also rumoured to have get back together with his ex-girlfriend in 2005, Yakuchi Mari who was used to be from Morning Musume.
Oh dear, please don't disappoint us Oguri! =(
Hope there is some follow-up on it soon..

There have been rumors of a Fuji TV drama series made up of Yamapi, Erika Toda and Yui Aragaki and the theme of it is medical. We were so excited to hear the combination of these 3 hottest stars together and was hoping it was not just a rumor. Lucky us!
The drama series titled "Code Blue" were confirmed to be showing on Thursdays in July! The show will be led by the main, Yamapi. The drama's full title is "
Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei".
It will be based on Japan's proposal for an emergency medical service using helicopters to quickly reach those in need. A special bill was passed in June 2007 that should foster widespread adoption of the system. Yamapi stars as a young doctor-in-training, working under the guidance of an experienced "flight doctor" (Toshiro Yanagiba).
Some scenes will be filmed with a real helicopter, adding to the show's tension, etc. So exciting! The strong supporting cast will include Yui Aragaki, Erika Toda, Manami Higa, Yosuke Asari, Kiyoshi Kodama, Ryo, Tetta Sugimoto, Susumu Terajima, Masanobu Katsumura.
Fuji TV will broadcast "Code Blue" on Thursday nights at 10:00pm, starting sometime in July. Oh boy, I can't wait!!!

Koda Kumi's career seems to be picking up now with the new endorsement and concert, singles coming up. However, her rude comment early this year was still remembered by many. Hence, of course negative perceptions were formed and hard to remove.
The loss of a recent commercial contract for Kirin's chuhai brand Hyoketsu. The company stated that the contract had always been set to expire this spring so Kirin has chosen actress Kyoko Fukada to represent the brand instead.

It is funny how Japan Entertainment Industry have all kinds of suveys and awards.
Cotton USA Awards, meant to help promote the cotton industry, were presented on Wednesday in Tokyo. The awards are given to celebrities who possess "softness" and "freshness," just like cotton.
This year, Maki Horikita was given the title of Miss Cotton, while Eiko Koike was named Mrs. Cotton (she married pro wrestler Wataru Sakata last August). TOKIO's Taichi Kokubun was chosen as Mr. Cotton.
Maki sure looks pale and soft with a sense of purity. (^-^)

As per Uwasako's entry, I thought it was interesting to share...
If you have forgotten about Abiru cheating on Yamapi's entry, here is a
recap. Yuu met up with her ex-boyfriend, ISSA from Da Pump.
It was said that Yamapi was really upset after learning about all these and according to Abiru's friend, Yamapi told Abiru:"I had always trusted you, but now I never want to see you again!" And Abiru told her friend, Yamapi dumped her.
After all the threats & opposition from the jimusho, after all the talk about how she's ruining his image and several times she and ISSA showed up together in drinking parties, Yamapi was always trying trust her and side her. It must be really hurting for Yamapi.
When their relationship was doing well, she hung out with ther Johnny's members and now she's since moved on to DA PUMP as she was spotted in a Roppongi bar with members YUKINARI and KEN. So verstile of Abiru Yuu.
Yamapi's fans must be really happy that he finally see the true side of her. Let's hope Yamapi get over it soon.
And Abiru,
i guess u really don't know how to cherish. LOLLabels: news, yamapi

This spring, KAT-TUN member Yuuichi Nakamaru (24) entered Waseda University as a correspondence student in the Department of Human Behavior and Environment Sciences. He attended an entrance ceremony at Waseda's Toyama campus on April 1.
Nakamaru started thinking of attending university in 2005. He had developed an interest in environmental studies, and he decided to take an exam in December 2006. About a year later, he was selected for admission after going through the interview process and entrance examination.
Nakamaru said he is serious about graduating, even if "it takes him 8 years."
Let's hope his studies will not affect KAT-TUN activities such as concert tours & single, album release.

Initially I did not want to include this news because I was not a huge fan of Oguri but I guess I am becoming now...
6th May 2008, Oguri and Yuu were rumored to be dating by SpoNichi (NichiSports). They met during the filming of Binbou Danshi this year (2008) January and probably developed special feelings for each other through it.
It was initially rumoured that both of them got together and broke up with their respective partners. Orguri broke up with Tanaka Miho and Yamada Yuu broke up with Ito Hideaki. However everything was only gossips and rumors.
Until Oguri admitted that,"Yu is a very precious girlfriend to me" during a radio broadcasting programme he attended yesterday, 8th May 2008. I guess we all know most probably what it meant! (^-^)
Oguri even mentioned that he was so excited to see himself appear on the front page of a newspaper that he picked up ten copies. Then Yu wrote in her blog that," Oguri is very special and important to her." And Yu's agency has also acknowledged that the two are seeing each other as well. Oguri's management, on the other hand, did not give any comment.
Well, Oguri is a raising star, one of the busiest guy in the Japanese Entertainment Industry these days. It is obvious why his management did not want to make any unnecessary comments. It is lucky that Yu has a good reputation too or objections might arise. But even if it does, I am sure Oguri will overcome them all and still be with Yu.
While other stars try to make least comment or deny having relationships even if they are in one, Oguri proudly declaring his relationship with Yu, really makes us feel so touched by his "MANLY-NESS". Yu is so fortunate. HAHA

Since the bad-comment incident, Koda Kumi's reputation has gone sour for a while. Being stripped off several endorsement jobs and not being able to promote her album "Kingdom" and it almost made her cancel her nationwide tour.

NTV’s Wideshow(ワイドショー) featured a CM-ranking segment and broadcast that Oguri Shun was number 1 in terms of number of CM appearances in Mid April.
However, there is a counting error. Including Kimura Takuya’s appearances with SMAP on CMs, Kimura is obviously the winner of that rank (It was presume Oguri still came in 1st on the “individual appearances in CMs”).
NTV was even made to air the apology.
That is such a big whoo-ha, Johnny.Source: Myfirstgossipblog
