Kame & Jun's Double Date
Friday, 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! =)

Random KAT-TUN Scopes

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.

Nakamaru start University studies
Tuesday, May 13, 2008

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.

Some Random Johnny Rumors
Friday, May 2, 2008

NEWS
Kusano Hironori who used to be with NEWS has left for New York to study for half a year. Nishikido Ryo has said, "Within the year, when Kusano has returned from his studies, he will rejoin NEWS." Maybe it will be soon? SA NA~

The bag stolen from Yamapi during Korea Airport Invasion is now being sold at a high price on the Korean black market. Disgusting Korean Fans.

Yamapi's rumoured girlfriend Abiru Yuu was caught with her ex-boyfriend from DA PUMP previously. It was said the magazine who featured this news seems to have support from the Johnny's. Hence, this new was out to discourage Yamapi from falling deeper for Yuu. Pretty mean huh. The reliability of it is then unknown again.

Loyal Ueto Aya fan, Kato Shigeaki declared that he will make her his within 3 months. If I am Aya chin, I would have feel so disgusted.




Ryo is unhappy filming the Last Friends. It was said he was excited to be able to cast as a "viliant" (abusive guy) but it turned out that his role in it is not as important as he thought it is. So he is unhappy with the scripts and feel it is not necessary for a Johnny to play such a minor role if it does not reflects his acting skills well. His past roles from Attention Please! to 1 litres of Tears are all just part of the running for the female leads, Aya and Erika. Well, Ryo just has not enough luck, I guess.


KAT-TUN
Akanishi Jin was spotted doing some late night shopping at a convenience store in Azabu with a pretty, model-type girl. Ah Huh, who is the lucky one.

Tanaka Koki was spotted at the home of ex-girlfriend Tamaki Nami, it seems they may be back together.


Other Johnny
Ohkura Tadayoshi's girlfriend (no one famous, just an ordinary girl) had a secret rendezvous with Ikuta Toma. How lucky is that girl !!!

Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix

Previously I mentioned about Maki being voted for the Best Actress award for the Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix. The results are based on votes by Japanese during late March this year (2008). One award is revealed each day. Now we finally get the whole list of the important winners.

Best Actor: Jin Akashi (Yuukan Club)
Best Actress: Maki Horikita (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e)

Best Supporting Actor: Toma Ikuta (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e)
Best Supporting Actress: Yuu Kashii (Yuukan Club)

It is pretty obvious these two drama were able to capture so many people's hearts that the best actors/actresses and supporting all came out of them.

For Jin, Yuukan was his first role after his short departure from KAT-TUN. Maki's acting skills is confirmed and seen well in the eyes of public already.

Toma did a great job for his role in Hana Kimi and gained much more popularity in his recent act for Honey and Clover. Yuu won this award, this 21-year-old made major headlines when she and actor Joe Odagiri announced their engagement in late December and got married on February 16, which happens to be the birthday for the both of them. Is it a shotgun? Who knows. HAHA.

Kame drunk, went around kissing girl
Wednesday, April 9, 2008

The breakup with Koizumi probably occurred during February this year (2008).

It was said one night in February Kame got dead drunk at a club - his favorite club, which he celebrated his birthday. In this drunken state, he started kissing all over some girl.

Pictures/video of his drunken kissing are spread in the internet. Maybe some netizens will be kind enough to share it. =D

Poor Kame. Hope he can get over Koizumi and be with that sweet dolly girl.

Kame's boxing pants mystery
Friday, April 4, 2008

1 Pound Gospel has concluded a very good ending. Some insider story to the drama. It wa ssaid that Kame has bought 5 boxing pants to wear for filming throughout the whole drama,. Does not sound unusual? Shouldn't the crew provide the actors' dressing to them?

So the reason was revealed that Kame's boxing pants went missing several times during filming. HAHA. We suspect it might be some crazy-fan trying to steal his pants or probably sell it at a high price?? And there is only male crew in the studio, no female at al. So it is a sick guy? Previously a variety show 志村どうぶつ園 host visited Kame at when he was filming in the studio.



This episode is quite hilarious.
Catch it if you can ;)



Maybe she is the cuplirt. LOL


As I am here typing and typing, someone out there now may be indulging in a smelly sweaty wet Kame's boxing pants.

Kame's possible new girlfriend?

Though this is pretty late, I find it very interesting so I am sharing it here.

According to some articles and magazines in Japan during late February 2008, Kame was seen hanging out with a sweet and cute girl around dart-bars. Kame has not told anyone about her being his girlfriend but these two have been seen hanging out quite alot and both are using the same mobile straps. Couple mobile straps??

My views
Is that the reason for his breakup later revealed by Koizumi? Any reason it may be, a cute and sweet girl sounds better than a 42-years-old aunty that can even be his mom. =X

Yamapi & Yuu broke up?!

From some insiders' information, it was said that Yamapi was forced to breakup with Yuu due to the stress from Johnny's and if he does not do so, his band NEWS will have to be disband?!

The Yamapi & Yuu rumors started out in November 2006. They shared a senior & junior relationship as they were both from Horikishi Gakuin. They were seen dating several times and were wearing couple rings and necklaces. Yamapi wearing Y pendent and Yuu wearing T pendant. Yuu started out as a bikini model and has a pretty wild image. She was aid to have dated several JE guys and one of them is Koki. (I have seen a neoprint of them hugging) =X

Lately Yamapi's new movie Kurosagi has just be shown in early March. There has been rumors saying he has plans to marry Yuu after the movie is shown. Yuu has also been said to be "preparing" to be Mrs Yamashita.

However, due to Yuu's previous bad conducts, Johnny do not approve of this relationship and think Yuu will affect Yamapi's reputation. Yuu Abiru is a good friend of Erika Sawajiri, one of the most hated & loved idol in Japan. HAHA. So contradicting but true. Like her friend, Yuu's conduct has not been very good as well.

Yuu was caught in a group theft during her 3rd grade and last year, Yuu tried to defend Erika when Erika was badly criticised for her poor attitude in the press conference for her movie Closed Note. For defending her friend, Yuu was badly criticised and got into some trouble waters when the media started to remind the public on her theft incident during her 3rd grade. That's pretty cruel huh.

My views
Whether the Yamapi & Yuu relationship is true or not, we would not know. But if it really is true, I do not believe it will affect Yamapi's reputation too much also because he is really rising to be one of Japan's most prominent stars. Anyway, we all wish Yamapi can be blissful too right? ;)

Takeda Tetsuya comment on Kame & Koizumi

The couple Kamenashi Kazuya and Koizumi Kyoko was said to know each other in a pub. They were first seen to be dating each other in 2006 by the media when Kame was seen driving Koizumi's car to and fro her house on several days and was seen on a holiday to Paris last July (2007). Both parties did not admit on this relationship. However, Kame has officially apologized for this misunderstanding.

In Late February, Koizumi revealed the breakup to close friends in a drinking party. It was not clear since when the couple has split.

Takeda-san who filmed Kinpachi Sensai with Kame, was said to share a teacher-student relationship with him. Takeda-san shared his opinion on the two's relation in a newspaper column. He claimed that he and Kame had a heart-to-heart talk on this relationship before and Kame said
1) he wanted to get married,
2) he wasn’t suited for an acting career
3) he wants to retire by the time he’s 29
4) he wants to open a boutique

Kame said that he is only able to do dramas now because he is young, but that he doesn’t have the talent to be an actor and that acting is not a simple thing. He is not any better than Takeda Tetsuya himself, OR Koizumi Kyoko, his rumoured lover. That’s why he’d rather pursue his first love, fashion, and manage a boutique next time.

In his ending lines, Takeda-san even encouraged Kame on this relationship and said," I know you have been moody recently about this issue, ganbatte and I will support you no matter what."

Later after this article was published and caused a big woo-ha, Tekade-san apologized officially and explained this is a misunderstanding. What the reporter/interveiwer interpreted from his words are very different from what he originally told him. Hence, this article is untrue.

Source: Tokyograph


My Views:
Is the 2K relationship really over? If it is, many fans will be happy, afterall we do feel Kame should not be with a 42-years-old. However, if Kame is really sad about this breakup, I believe the fans will feel sad for him too.

Is the article untrue or not? Tekade-san's claims sound reasonable afterall he does have a teacher-student relationship with Kame but for him to spill the beans just like that, is really not right. Afterall I believed Kame trust him well enough to confide in him and he is telling all these to the reporter. Tekeda-san might just turn out to have a very bad reputation for his reliability.

Anyway, we all do know that Kame does know how to act and sing from all his past achievements, not just because he is young that he is getting all the jobs. So Kame, please continue to work hard. Fans are all behind you!
