Code Blue Theme Song and Comparing of Maou & Code Blue
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.

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!!!

For actresses,
1) Yui Aragaki

Yui Aragaki's new single "Make my day" will be tied with the new drama "81diver"as the theme song. Fuji TV's "81diver" will premieres on May 3.
However, the sad news is that "Make my day" will be scheduled to go on sale 2 months later on July 16. It will come with two other songs - an a cappella version of "Make my day," and a currently untitled song that she wrote the lyrics for.
The single will feature jacket art drawn by Aragaki and will be sold in three editions. One will be CD-only, while the other two are limited first press versions that each come with a DVD. One DVD has the music video for "Make my day," and the other has footage of her concert at the Nippon Budokan in December.

Oricon asked a thousand people to name which 20-year-old celebrity they think will have a breakthrough year in 2008.
Results as follows:
1) Yui Arargaki
2) Maki Horikita
3) Erika Toda
4) Meisa Kuroki
5) Mikako Tabe
6) Ai Fukuhara
7) Miliyah Kato
8) Akiyoshi Nakao
The top three happen to be my favorite stars at the moment. Yui with her raising popularity and Newcomers' awards is definitely a hot-fav. Maki has gained so much fame through her role in Hana Kimi that got her various endorsement jobs and even a album cover in the new compliation CD -
First Love though Maki herself has admitted before that she totally cannot sing.
Erika Toda is also one of the most popular young actress in Japan at the moment. Having opportunities to star in so many popular drama along with really cute male idols, like Kame and Yamapi. She also got to cast in the popular movie like
Death Note. I believe the peak of her career has just started. =)

Survey conducted by Oricon on the artists whom look best in sneakers.
Results as follows:
Male Category1) Takuya Kimura
2) Teppei Koike
3) Tsuyoshi Kusanagi
4) George Tokoro
5) Shun Oguri
6) Toma Ikuta
Female Category1) Aiko
2) Becky
3) Aya Ueto
4) Kaela Kimura
5) Ai Otsuka
6) Yui Aragaki
7) Maki Horikita
8) Aya Hirayama, Koda Kumi, YUI
It is not surprising to see Kimura topping the charts here as he is the Best Male Jeanist. Surprised to see Uncle George in the charts winning Shun and Toma.
Aiko is known for her casual dressing, sneakers are definitely her style. Becky's popularity is rising after being a constant guest on certain variety shows and her exaggerating drama -
Anna No . Surprisingly she won Aya in this chart. Aya Ueto remains as one of the most bubbly character that sneakers just matched her naturally.
Young stars like Ai and Maki definitely look cute in sneakers. Yui seems to be more feminine on her dressing with all the long dresses but perhaps her schoolgirl style makes everyone thinks she look good sneakers.

2nd - Aya Ueto
3rd - Waka Inoue
4th - Haruka Igawa
5th - Haruka Ayase, Nanako Matsushima

Hime Kaji (Casual Princess)1st - Shoko Nakagawa
2nd - Kyoko Fukada
3rd - Yuko Ogura
4th - Yuri Ebihara
5th - Ayumi Hamasaki

3rd - Miho Kanno, Namie Amuro, Yuu Aoi, Yuko Takeuchi
Yui Ebihara has topped the same survey last year, it is not surprising her spring looks has won many voters who are in their 20s. Yui Aragaki is the teenage sweetheart in this survey.
Cherry Blossom Beauty1st - Nanako Matsushima
2nd - Yukie Nakama
3rd - Yuko Takeuchi
4th - Mika Nakashima
5th - Sayuri Yoshinaga, Koyuki
Nanako leads this survey, it is quite natural but I wonder what is Yukie doing in this survey. Maybe I have seen too much of her in Gokusen so I seriously cannot associate Cherry Blomssom with her. LOL
Adventure with a celebrityMale Celebrity1st - Masaru Hamaguchi
2nd - Hiroshi Tamaki
3rd - Shingo Katori
Female Celebrity1st - Shoko Nakagawa
2nd - Becky
3rd - Koda Kumi, Chinatsu Wakatsuki
4th - Yui Aragaki
Masaru has very strong survival skills so it is natural he is 1st but Hiroshi and Shingo are like comedians. Japanese women probably like humorous guys' company. HAHA.
Same applies for the female list, Becky and Koda Kumi are such funny people. I would not want Yui on my adventure, she looks so vulnerable and fragile. Will she break a bone while climbing a tree? =X
