Arashi’s Sho Sakurai (28) traveled to Moscow to meet a former head of state and to the Berlin wall as part of his special report for Nippon TV’s 24Hr TV, reports Sports Hochi.
Sakurai’s special, titled “嵐・櫻井翔が緊急リポート！ 世界の貧困と格差社会の現実～マンホールで暮らす人々とは～ (Arashi - Sho Sakurai’s Breaking News! The reality of global poverty and social disparity ~people who live in manholes~ )” sent him to Moscow to interview Nobel Peace Prize winning former head of state Mikhail Gorbachev (79).
Mr Gorbachev is widely known as the man whose actions lead to the end of the Cold War around the late 1980s, early 1990s. After Mr Gorbachev heard Sakurai had been interviewing a wide range of people in different places for his “NEWS ZERO” series “世界平和への祈り (Sekai Heiwa heno Inori, A Prayer for World Peace)” over the past year, the nobel prize winner applauded Sakurai for his efforts.
“I am very happy to meet a responsible person like you.
“I hope more and more people will be able to think not only about themselves, but also about the suffering the people around them are going through, and want to help them,” he said.
After Sakurai had introduced himself in Russian, Mr Gorbachev pushed aside Sakurai’s prepared notes.
“I want to hear about your opinions,” he told a confused Sakurai.
The interview went on for more than 30 minutes, during which the two talked about poverty, economic instability, and peace operations.
It has been reported Sakurai was still shaking after his interview.
“It was an incredible priviledge to have met a person I watched on the news as a young boy,” he said.
His latest adventure had sent him reporting from Moscow to the Berlin wall, and to Romania.
“It’s been 20 years since the Cold War ended. How has the world changed. I hope I can make people in Japan think about how one person’s situation can affect others,” he said.
“嵐・櫻井翔が緊急リポート！ 世界の貧困と格差社会の現実～マンホールで暮らす人々とは～ (Arashi - Sho Sakurai’s Breaking News! The reality of global poverty and social disparity ~people who live in manholes~ )” will air on “24時間テレビ33「愛は地球を救う」(24Hr TV 33 ‘Love Saves the Earth’)” on August 29 in Japan.

SMAP's Kusanagi, Nakama, Ichiro to appear in drama
Monday 23rd August, 05:46 AM JST
SMAP singer Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, 36, and actress Yukie Nakama, 30, will debut in a TBS drama set in the 1960s, called “99-year love: Japanese-Americans.” Seattle Mariners player Ichiro will also make a cameo appearance as a baseball player in the drama, appearing in real-life footage of a player at bat.
The drama tells the story of a Japanese family that immigrated to the United States 99 years prior to the story. Kusanagi will play a second-generation Japanese-American as well as, with the help of prosthetics, that character’s father. Nakama appears as Kusanagi’s wife in the drama.
The story deals with issues of racism. According to producers, they decided to add footage of Ichiro “because he is an example of a man that transcends racial stereotypes, to contrast the content of the show.”
The drama will begin on Nov 3, at 9 p.m., and will air in five 2-hour segments.
Kusanagi said: “I really hope this drama strikes a chord with not only Japanese viewers, but American viewers as well.”
“I feel like I’ve really accomplished something landing this part,” Nakama added. The mini-series co-stars Kiichi Nakai, Pinko Oizumi and Keiko Kishi.
hahha dapat email dari cd japan.. derang dah tak leh tahan dgn fan arashi....
Hello!
I'm sending you this email because you are subscribed to Arashi New
Release Mail.
Yesterday, we sent you an email about "Dear Snow" the new single from
Arashi, and I would like to let you know how we processed the
information this time.
Normally, we would open preorders for new releases right away, as soon
as we receive details.
We would inform people about it on our website and then by New Release
Mail.
However, with the past few Arashi releases, CDJapan website always
went down temporarily, because our server was overwhelmed each time as
so many people worldwide as well as in Japan rushed over to CDJapan
and our Japanese website in order to preorder the Limited Edition.
Upgrading the server could not meaningfully improve the situation,
because it was just too overwhelming.
Most people were kind enough to understand the situation, but it was
nevertheless a very inconvenient situation for everyone involved.
In order to effectively prevent our website from going down, we needed
to think of priorities in how we are to inform people about the new
Arashi release.
So, what we did yesterday was to send the New Release Mail before we
informed people about the release in any other way, including our
website.
Our decision is based on our wish and desire to recognize and treat
customers who are subscribed first.
I know that this might not seem fair for people who are not
subscribed, but the purpose was to make our website withstand the
preorder so that at least people are not inconvenienced by our website
going down.
Also, you might have experienced confusion when you visited the page
from the link we included in the New Release Mail yesterday, as there
was no way to get to the page other than from that link.
By the way, there are greater number of people subscribed than the
number of the Limited Edition that the record company is able to provide.
So, you may continue to have the same difficulties trying to preorder
Limited Editions from Arashi, but I hope that you will find the
situation somewhat better from now on.
Please note that Arashi is the only artist that we would handle this way.
