Popular stars Joe Odagiri and Masami Nagasawa are playing siblings in the TBS drama "Boku no Imouto," and recently there has been a lot of attention drawn to real-life siblings such as Jun and Yu Shirota, as well as Kumi Koda and misono. As a result, Oricon conducted a survey on the subject. A thousand men and women were asked, "Which famous person would you like to have as your younger brother?"
Leading the list was WaT member Teppei Koike. Among the responses were comments like "He's really cool," and "He's refreshing and seems really responsible." "Through his behavior and smile, the goodness of his personality just exudes out of him," commented a man from Miyagi.
Koike was followed by Takeru Sato, with females commenting that they can imagine "easily getting along with him and becoming really close." "You want to brag of having a younger brother with such a wonderful smile like his," said a female from Kanagawa.

Yuma ni walaupun nmpk cute n kakkoi gitu, tapi ala2 weird gak...mmg betul la trademark Kansai-jin

Johnny's Jr. member Shintaro Morimoto (11) (adik Ryutaro Morimoto HSJ) has been given his first role in a movie. He will play the lead in Shochiku's "Snow Prince: Kinjirareta Koi no Melody," directed by Joji Matsuoka ("Tokyo Tower").
