FRIDAY reports that Hashimoto Ai and Ochiai Motoki are a couple + statements from their agencies



On May 10, the latest issue of weekly tabloid FRIDAY reported that actress Hashimoto Ai (17) and actor Ochiai Motoki (22), who worked together in the movie ‘Kirishima, Bukatsu Yamerutteyo‘ (International title: ‘The Kirishima Thing‘), are currently a couple.

The tabloid was able to obtain pictures of the two coming and going in front of each others’ apartments, which led to the assumption that they are in a romantic relationship.

Both agencies talked to the press on the following day and denied that they are in a serious relationship. Hashimoto’s agency stated, “They are not in a relationship.” — Ochiai’s agency commented, “All the cast members of ‘Kirishima’ have become very good friends regardless of their gender. Hashimoto also is a very good friend, but they are not in a romantic relationship.”

Meanwhile, Ochiai had to disable the comment section on his blog due to the flood of spiteful comments that were made as soon as the article had become viral.

Oshima revealed the reason why she decided to take on as the runner. “Even though I weigh 88 kilograms, and fat, I don’t want to say I can’t without trying,” she said. “I’m also curious what I would be able to see when I finish running for 24 hours. It’s such an honor, and will be once in a lifetime. I will run at my own best, and hope I could send out smiles to everyone.”

Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi said to Oshima, “Honestly, I’m worried, but please come to the goal at your own pace”, and Ninomiya Kazunari also sent a cheer to her saying, “I cannot sweepingly say that it’s all about reaching the goal. Even if you can’t make it on time, or you can’t run the whole distance, I will still be waiting for you.”

As reported previously, Arashi will be serving as the main personality for the second consecutive year.

“24-Hour Television 36 Ai wa Chikyuu wo Sukuu” will be aired on August 24th to the 25th.

Actor Natsuyagi Isao passes away



It was another big loss for the movie industry, when it was announced that actor Natsuyagi Isao (73) has passed away at his home in the early afternoon of May 11th.

Natsuyagi was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last fall and has been coming and going to the hospital in between his acting jobs. He had played supporting roles in countless dramas and movies, including ‘Hakuchu no Shikaku‘ and ‘Eleven Samurai‘. His most recent drama was ‘Going My Home‘ (Fuji TV). There are still a couple of movies such as ‘Shusen no Emperor‘ that have yet to be released, but will hit theatres in the near future.

Director Sono Sion also gave him a starring role in his recent movie ‘Kibou no Kuni‘, for which Natsuyagi received multiple ‘Best Starring Actor’ awards and the ‘Minister of Education Award for Fine Arts’.

Sono commented on his death, “He told me, ‘Let’s work together for your next movie again’. He has gone too soon. Way too soon. There was no one better when it came to playing a real man. No one will ever be this good.”

Natsuyagi’s friend and fellow actor from the same generation, Matsukata Hiroki commented, “Chii (Takeo) has died. Now Natsuyagi has died away as well. It pains me and makes me feel lonely that the people from my generation keep on passing away. A lot of memories from our youth when we have been hanging out together come to my mind. All I can do now is praying for their happiness in the next world.”

His funeral service will be held in private with his family members only.

Left: Sashihara Rino, Right: Matsumura Kaori

It was announced that HKT48 member Sashihara Rino would produce SKE48’s “lifetime honorary Kenkyuusei”, Matsumura Kaori’s solo debut. The announcement was made by Sashihara herself during the live broadcast of late-night variety show “AKB video center” which Sashihara serves as the MC.

According to Sashihara, she received a message from Akimoto Yasushi that says, “Business correspondence. SKE48’s lifetime honorary Kenkyuusei, Matsumura Kaori is making her solo debut, so you produce her. You, as an idol lover, enhance Matsumura’s charm. You decide the song, order for the song arrangements, and write the lyrics.”

Back in June last year, Sashihara produced a live event “Dai 1-kai Yubi Matsuri ~Idol Rinji Soukai~” which 10 idol groups, such as Momoiro Clover Z, Idoling!!!, and Nogizaka46, attended. She has also written the lyrics for two of her own solo songs.

After the live broadcasting of “AKB video center”, Sashihara updated her Google+, “It will be a very precious song for both Matsumura and her fans, so I will try my hardest!! I seriously have to do my best-.” She also wrote, “By the way, it was decided 5 minutes before the broadcast for real. I wish everybody could see how all of us panicked behind the scene…! (laughs)”

Matsumura also updated her Google+, “It seems like there are various opinions, but I am very happy personally. I was able to be in the news, thanks to Sashihara-san. No.4 (in the general election) is incredible after all-.”

As we reported earlier, Matsumura’s debut will be under a mysterious indie label called “Nishiki Dori Records”, and a limited number of 1000 copies will be released. (when all the 1,000 copies are sold out, additional pressed copies will be made).

Manga ‘LIMIT’ to get drama adaptation starring Sakuraba Nanami



On May 13th, TV Tokyo announced that they will be adapting the manga ‘LIMIT‘ by Suenobu Keiko (‘LIFE’) into a drama starring actress Sakuraba Nanami (20) for the upcoming summer season.

‘LIMIT’ has been serialized in the manga magazine ‘Bessatsu Friend‘ from 2009 until 2011 and spawned a total of six volumes. The protagonist is a girl named ‘Konno Mizuki’ (Sakuraba), a typical senior high school girl who is good at studying, knows much about fashion and is good at reading the situation. She is also fortunate to belong to the cool clique of her class called the “Sakura Group”.

One day the class is on their way to a field trip, when suddenly their bus falls of a cliff in the mountains. Only five girls survive the accident. They are injured, lost in the mountains and no one is coming for their rescue anytime soon. Pushed to their limits, the girls are forced to switch into survival mode and to lay bare their innermost feelings.

Three of the four other girls are played by Tsuchiya Tao (18), Kudo Ayano (16), and Yamashita Rio (20).

Tsuchiya plays ‘Kamiya Chieko’, a calm and collected loner who doesn’t belong to any clique and knows a lot about survival. Kudo portrays ‘Ichinose Haru’, a girl with an eating-disorder who also belongs to the “Sakura Group” and holds complicated feelings towards Mizuki.

The fourth girl, ‘Morishige Arisa’ is played by Yamashita. Arisa is a plain and introverted girl who either gets ignored or bullied by her classmates. She writes down every detail in her notebook and creates an “execution list” of her bullies. Her personality completely changes after the accident and she begins to turn the tables right away.

TV Tokyo will air ‘LIMIT’ in their “Drama 24″ time slot every Friday at midnight starting in July.

Amami Yuki discharged from hospital



The agency of Amami Yuki who was hospitalized since May 6 for a mild heart attack, announced that she has been discharged from the hospital on May 13th.

As reported earlier, Amami had revealed that she had not been feeling well after the performance in a stage play “Onore Napoleon“, and was diagnosed with a mild heart attack. She was then hospitalized. Though Amami was strongly hoping to continue participating in the stage play, she unfortunately had to resign from her role in the play after a consultation with her doctor. Actress Miyazawa Rie is serving as Amami’s substitute for the play.

Reportedly, Amami is currently resting at home. Regarding her comeback, her agency commented that they would consider it while checking her condition.

Below is the comment made by Amami Yuki.

=====

I sincerely apologize for the sudden resignation of my role in the stage play ‘Onore Napoleon’ and causing great trouble and worry to people who looked forward to the stage play, and the relevant parties of the stage. I also wish to express my deep appreciation for extraordinary efforts to the cast members and staff members. Fortunately, I was able to be discharged from the hospital yesterday, so please allow me to report it.

The other day, I was suddenly diagnosed with a ‘heart attack’. I was honestly perplexed about it, but I never lost my desire to stand on the stage until the final day. However, I made a hard decision to resign from my role in the play, as I was notified by my doctor’s suggestion that I would cause even greater inconvenience if my condition got worse. Everyone was not only understanding about it, but I also received kind words. Thank you very much.

Over time, it pains me to realize what I’ve caused. I believed that I managed my health well, but looking back, it was not good enough.

Now that I am back home from the hospital, I will do my best to show everyone myself looking healthy as soon as possible.

To all of you fans, thank you for always supporting me. I caused you a great trouble and worry. I am sorry. I want to see you all again with the best face of Amami Yuki.
