MAQUIA 2011 June edition (went on sale April 23 2011)
As the special baseball supporter, KAT-TUN’s Kazuya Kamenashi gives a fan’s point-of-view of baseball during Nihon TV’s Tokyo Giants matches, “Dramatic Game 1844″.  But the man at the centre of attention laughs it off.
“After I started this job (in the entertainment industry), now I can’t go outside without wearing sunglasses.  I wonder why, it’s not like people have caught me and I’ve been in danger many times,” he said.
He explained things to us a bit more.
“I think it’s probably because at work I want to be seen as much as anyone else, but I don’t want people to see what I look like from day to day.  I hardly go to places like parties and clubs where there are lots of people and I try to avoid meeting people who can’t be honest with me.  These days so many celebrities have blogs or they’re on twitter.  They use words and photos to talk about what they’re doing every day in detail, but I don’t get it.
“I think that if someone working in the entertainment industry talks too much about what they do in their private life, isn’t that like a magician telling people how their trick works before they do it? (laughs)  Having said that, I don’t think anyone’s lying.  I don’t think they’re deliberately trying to keep a secret or creating their own character.
“To put it simply, I’m happy to talk about my views on relationships, but I wouldn’t talk about the relationships I’ve been in up to now.  I don’t think I need to talk about it.  But I don’t have any clear lines drawn between what I can and can’t talk about because sometimes I think it’s important to talk about your own experience when you want to get a real message across.”
Kamenashi-san went on to talk about the time he thought, “what’s my secret?”.  He said during a run at night to Tokyo Tower, he had looked up to see the moon covered up by clouds.

“There’s something beautiful about how it’s hidden.  Maybe people and clouds are beautiful because you can’t see everything,” he said.

Hey! Say! JUMP and Kansai Johnny’s Jr. perform together in two different cities

  

Hey! Say! JUMP’s concert in Yokohama was video linked to Kansai Johnny’s Jr.’s concert in Osaka as the two groups performed together on May 5, reports Nikkan Sports, Daily Sports Online, and web The Television.

“I’m getting goosebumps knowing that we’ve got twice as many fans here today!!,” said Hikaru Yaotome.

The video link between the Yokohama Arena and Osaka-jo Hall meant the east and west talents could perform “世界がひとつになるまで (Sekai ga Hitotsu ni naru made)” together and allowed NYC members Ryosuke Yamada (17), Yuri Chinen (17), and Yuma Nakayama (17) to perform their songs together.

It has been reported the latest fibre-optics technology had been used to link the east and west cities together in order to reduce the time lag between video and audio feeds as much as possible. A representative from Johnny’s & Associates had said this technology is used in TV these days, but it is the first time it has been used for a concert in Japan.

It was also a double surprise for upcoming birthday boy Yamada. The talent turns 18 on May 9, and to celebrate, the 15,000 fans in Yokohama and 15,000 fans in Osaka all sang Happy Birthday for him.

“I said I would get taller and cooler when I was 18 but I haven’t been able to so…can I delay this until I’m 30?” Yamada said.

While the other members teased him he wouldn’t grow any taller, Yamada said, “don’t you know that men keep growing until they’re 25!!”

During the concert Hey! Say! JUMP’s Kota Yabu reminded people about another upcoming celebration, Mother’s Day.

“We always go in groups to the florist to buy carnations because we’re all embarrassed to go alone…,” he said.

Yesterday’s concert was a surprise for fans, who got see 200 Johnny’s talents and Johnny’s Jr. talents in one concert including Hey! Say! JUMP concert guests Yuta Tamamori (Kis-My-Ft2), and Kansai Johnny’s Jr. concert guests Hiroki Uchi, Taisuke Fujigaya (Kis-My-Ft2), and Hiromitsu Kitayama (Kis-My-Ft2).

Another story that unfolded during the concert was when it was revealed professional baseball player Yuki Saito uses NYC’s “勇気100% (Yuki 100%)” as his entrance song during matches, much to the delight of NYC members.

“I heard about this during school when my mum text me, I was so surprised. It makes me feel confident,” Yamada said.

“Being in the same generation, I hope we can get everyone’s spirits up as well,” Chinen said.

“As a baseball fan I am so happy,” Nakayama said.

As part of the Marching J project, it has been reported 40 per cent of electricity was saved during the Hey! Say! JUMP concert.

Ikuta Toma, Yoshitaka Yuriko star in 2-part movie adaptation of “Bokura ga Ita”

The live-action adaptation of Obata Yuki’s popular shoujo manga “Bokura ga Ita” (“We Were There”) had its cast revealed today. Ikuta Toma (26) and Yoshitaka Yuriko (22) will co-star in the project, which is being split into two films directed by Miki Takahiro (“Solanin”).

The manga, which started in 2002, has so far been collected into 14 volumes that have sold more than 10 million copies combined. The story follows the romance of its two main characters over a span of 10 years, from high school to their mid-20s. Ikuta plays the super popular Yano Motoharu, whose girlfriend was killed in a car accident. Yoshitaka plays Takahashi Nanami, who falls in love with Yano but struggles with his inability to let go of the past.

Takaoka Sousuke and Motokariya Yuika have been cast as Yano’s close friend Take and Nanami’s classmate Yuri, respectively.

Filming starts this month and ends in July, with locations in Hokkaido and Tokyo. Asmik Ace will release both of the movies in the spring of 2012, and in an unprecedented move, the second one is planned for release just a month after the first one.
