news: Koichi Dohmoto (KinKi Kids)
As one half of the hugely successful Johnny's Jimusho duo Kinki Kids, Domoto Koichi (29) may be something of a prince of J-pop. But in New York he's now better known as the "Sushi Prince." He was in the Big Apple yesterday for the U.S. premiere of the movie "The Sushi Prince Does New York," which was held at the Walter Reade Theater in the Lincoln Center. Somewhat surprisingly given his status in Japan, it's Domoto's first movie in 13 years and his first starring role. The action comedy, a mix of sushi and martial arts, was first conceived by director Tsutsumi Yukihiko when filming another movie in New York in 2003. He and his staff tried to come up with an idea that would be a hit in the U.S., but the payoff so far is not encouraging. Last year's not very successful TV Asahi drama series (average audience rating only 7.5%) was actually developed more as a prequel to the movie. The cast also includes fellow Johnny's singer Nakamaru Yuichi (KAT-TUN), Ihara Tsuyoshi ("Letters from Iwo Jima") and Shaku Yumiko. You may notice that the casting of Nakamaru and the movie's catchphrase, "nigitte yaru," are also in keeping with the N.Y. theme. The movie opened in Japan on April 19.

news: Yoshihiko Inohara (V6)
A pair of weekend weddings
Sun, May 4, 2008 (7:14pm EDT)
Two big celebrity weddings took place this weekend in Tokyo. First, V6's Yoshihiko Inohara and actress [n]Asaka Seto held their ceremony and reception in Tokyo's Shinagawa ward on Saturday. The press was shut out from the event, which was attended by about 100 relatives and friends. Among them were the other members of V6, as well as celebrities such as actor Masatoshi Nakamura and young actress Kie Kitano. Inohara and Seto have been officially married since September 29, 2007.
Then on Sunday, L'Arc~en~Ciel bassist tetsu and actress Ayana Sakai, who married near the end of last year, had their own wedding and reception at the Honey's Garden restaurant in Roppongi. Sakai wore a dress she designed herself for her wedding dress brand. Like Inohara and Seto, the couple made it a private affair, though the media was able to later report that tetsu and Sakai were in tears as they read aloud a letter to their parents. The attendees included actor Yu Shirota and model Rica Imai.

Charts: Madonna at #1 again after almost 18 years
Wed, May 7, 2008 (2:01am EDT)
Madonna's latest album, "Hard Candy," topped the Oricon charts this past week with 55,000 in sales. Her last #1 in Japan was the 1990 release "I'm Breathless." The 17-year-11-month gap between the two chart-toppers is a record for a solo artist. One of the songs on the new album, "Miles Away," is being used as the theme song for the Takuya Kimura-starring drama series "CHANGE," which premieres on Fuji TV next Monday.
The soundtrack to the "Sushi Ouji!" was the only other new release in the Top 10, and it barely made the cut. Last week's #1, "Dream "A" live" by Arashi, fell to #5 while BENNIE K and Perfume kept their spots at #2 and #3, respectively.
Speaking of "Sushi Ouji!," the singles chart was led by that movie's theme song, "No more" by Koichi Domoto (released under the name of his character, Tsukasa Maizu). It sold near 111,000 copies.
Shuchishin was able to hang on at #2 for the 4th consecutive week, outselling new releases by the new Hello! Project unit Milky Way (#3), mihimaru GT (#4), TUBE (#5), and The Possible (#10).
In the music DVD ranking, Hey! Say! JUMP sold 70,000 copies of their first DVD, making them the youngest group in history at the top of the chart.

Inohara starring in play by Europe Kikaku troupe
Thu, May 8, 2008 (12:58am EDT)
Yoshihiko Inohara (of V6) is teaming up with young acting troupe Europe Kikaku as he stars in a play titled "Showajima Walker." As a fan of the troupe, Inohara has been visiting some of the Kyoto-based group's practices and performances since a year ago. As a result, he was invited by the troupe's chairman, Makoto Ueda, to star in one of their productions.
Ueda is hailed by some as "the next Kankuro Kudo." One of his better known works is "Summer Time Machine Blues," which was turned into a movie in 2005.
"Showajima Walker" is a comedy set in the near future. Inohara plays the president of a struggling robot factory, who inherited the company after his father mysteriously committed suicide. Unlike his father, his efforts always end in failure, but he aims to revive the company with a newly designed robot.
 
The play also features Kotomi Kyono and Marika Matsumoto. It will run at The Globe Tokyo between November 2 and 23, and at the Theater Drama City in Osaka from November 27 to 30.
