Oguri Shun and Arashi members talk about their fetishes
Oguri Shun was a guest on Arashi’s variety show “Arashi ni shiyagare”, which was broadcasted on the 24th.  Shun has co-stared with some of the members and is also good friends with Matsumoto Jun.
Since both Arashi members and Shun are almost the same age, they enjoyed a fun boys talk.  Especially about their fetishes with girls body parts.
Shun – butt (round)
Jun – butt (perky/high up)
Satoshi – the upper arm (skinny)
Sho – the upper arm (little bit of fat)
Nino – did not say, but could be breast, because he said that the softness of the upper arm is the same as the softness of the breast.
Aiba – pelvis (when girls wear low-rize jeans)
Now that you know what the boys like, make sure you work it out!
Upcoming movie “Raiou/雷桜” which Okada Masaki and Aoi Yu star in, will be released on October 22nd. ”Raiou” is originally a popular novel by Ueza Mari, which sold 170,000 copies in Japan.
It’s a sad love story between a Shogun and a humble girl. Okada Masaki plays the Shogun who grew up without love and Aoi Yu plays a wild yet humble girl who grew up in a mountain village.
SMAP released their new album “We are SMAP!” on the 21st and it sold 180,000 copies during the first week!  And of course, it took the No. 1 spot on the Oricon weekly album chart. (August 2nd)
This is the 11th time for SMAP’s albums to get No.1 on Oricon Chart, and now 5 times in a row.
As for the Oricon weekly singles chart, “Kokoro no Hane” by Team Dragon from AKB48 is at No.1.
Maki Goto - ONE like her... her voice didn't give me headache and she got pretty solid single here, reminding me of Ayumi Sakai. Sometimes, as much as I adore Kana, I hope this girl and Jasmine will get at least half of the attention Kana is getting. Especially when this girl has suffered more than enough already.
Without any previous notice, LUNA SEA made a sudden update on their official web site today 7/26 at 10:30am. Since their 1st shocking update “REBOOT” on 5/29 as they celebrated their 21st anniversary, this is LUNA SEA’s 3rd sudden update.
This new update seems to have revealed a bit more about the mysterious “REBOOT” as it shows one member after another as if to clearly portray the past 10 years in the present.
To our surprise, LUNA SEA’s official Facebook is now open as of today, in addition to their existing Youtube and Twitter. All of these sites, along with MySpace, are available in English which gives us an idea that LUNA SEA is definitely aiming out to the world and getting ready to spread their wings out soon.
The last message LUNA SEA left with us through their clip is “ATTENTION 2010.08.25.” What will happen in only 1 month from now? This message sure sounds much different from the last time. Everyone around the world can’t help but anticipate in hopes
and excitement.
