Nishikawa Takanori is Visiting his Home Grounds for Inazuma Rock Fes 2010
On August 11th, two years after the release of "resonance", T.M.Revolution's new single "Naked arms / SWORD SUMMIT" eventually dropped in stores. That day already, the first press limited edition of the record became extremely scarce, which is noteworthy for one release in two years. Within the ORICON raking, too, he surpassed the fourth rank of the previous record, entering the Top 3.
Moreover, On September 18th and 19th, over two days time, T.M.Revolution will be taking part in the "Inazuma Rock Fes 2010", a large scale rock festival in his home prefecture Shiga. For this event, Nishikawa will also visit the Governor of the prefecture - Kada Yukiko.
The governor said to Nishikawa: "We came to abbreviate the festival to 'Ina-Fes'. I will cheer at the opening of the event." And Nishikawa answered with a smile: "That's the work of a governor!"
At this year's "Inazuma Rock Fes 2010", T.M.Revolution and of course abingdon boys school will be taking part along with sads, BREAKERZ, TETSUYA and Ohguro Maki, who will be pausing activities from the end of October. The event will certainly be a two-day premium happening!

While Arashi member Matsumoto Jun’s embarrassing photos continued its tour of the entire Kanto area on the show’s giant ad trailer, Tsuchiya Anna (26) appeared on the Himitsu no Arashi Chan VIP Room tonight.  Tsuchiya is currently promoting her third album, RULE, available on the 22nd of this month.
Tsuchiya said that what she wanted to do with Arashi more than anything else was to play Beach Flags, and Arashi obliged; complete with on-set beach!  The cast raced down the man-made beach in groups of three.  In this game, the first to snatch the flag wins, and Arashi’s fastest memeber, Aiba Masaki, beat Ohno and Ninomiya in the first round.  Mastumoto beat Tsuchiya and Sakurai, but lost to Aiba by a hair.  Aiba’s prize:  13 kg of shellfish!
At the end of the games, Tsuchiya’s pick of the Arashi boys was Matsumoto Jun because he let her have half of the oyster he was eating previously.
In the Mannequin Five conor, DAIGO (32) and comedian Gekidan Hitori (33) guest starred while Tokyo Girls Collection models their Fall style choices.  In the end, DAIGO, with his gold-studded fingerless gloves and goofy rock walk, was left alone in the shop … still refusing to give up his gloves.
