First post! So yeah... this is pretty much where I'll be rambling on about various rumors/gossip from good ol' Japan. There will be a lot of Johnny's Entertainment stuff but there'll be other entertainers/talent as well (if I feel like it). Whatever I think is interesting, I'll write about. Not gonna lie though, it's mostly Johnnys.

I'm not locking this, I just wanted to say this journal isn't meant to be malicious. Whether or not you choose to believe what's written is up to you. I get big lols out of most of this stuff and much of what I write is pretty tongue-in-cheek, so I hope you get a kick out of it. :D

That said...

WELCOME! Feel free to add me if you'd like. XD
Seeing as how I am nearing the 1000 friends limit I won't be adding anyone else. But that really doesn't matter in the slightest since I have yet to lock any of my entries. Everyone is still free to read what I've posted.

Just making a quick post about Project #Eggplant to let everyone know the official start time.

All other details can be found in this post.

Also, sweetscuderia is organizing a trend for Arashi to take place on Ohno's birthday, Nov. 26th. So if you want to join in, definitely check out Operation #tsuribaka & #wemakestorm for all the info.

Friday magazine caught Tanaka Koki of KAT-TUN and gravure idol Takamatsu Erina leaving for a trip to Oahu, Hawaii.

A friend of theirs told the mag they've been together since June. Not long after being introduced and getting acquainted Tanaka made his approach. "He gets very lonely and can't stand being away from her, not even for a moment. When she gets off from work he goes to see her."

As for their trip to Oahu, November 13th, some time around 8:30pm they were spotted in the departures area of Narita Airport.

A tourist in Oahu said, "I saw them at Waikiki Beach. They weren't disguised so I could tell it was Tanaka-kun right away. Being oversease, they probably felt a lot freer and were very flirty with each other; I was surprised when I saw him rest his head in her lap."

Johnny's denied the rumor that they're dating and said they both went to Hawaii for a wedding of a mutual friend.

Good friends they have lol.

Hiya. I know a lot of people are interested in Project #Eggplant for Jin, so Tuesday, Nov. 24th, it's on. Y/Y?

However, I want to try doing it a bit earlier since #deadfisheyes happened really late for a lot of people and they couldn't participate.
So how is 4/5pm PST - 7/8pm EST? That should be 12/1am in Europe. Still kinda late but not too bad, right? I'll make another post once the time is set.

Official Day/Time:
Tuesday, November 24th, 4pm PST
You can check the time for your city here. Convert from USA California Los Angeles.

( Stuff to remember!! )

Haha, this fandom is so ridiculous and I mean that in a good way. Maybe one day we'll use a normal hashtag. lol

LOL You crazy fandom. We actually got #deadfisheyes to trend. The #3 spot even!



When we topped John Mayer (who had two topics at one point) and Justin Bieber I was like WHUUUT. I would've shit my pants if we beat New Moon, but... well, I am not suprised about that.

Still, kudos and thanks to everyone who spread the word and participated, to asianpopaddict for all the help and the pimpage on their show and, of course, to all the confused twitter users who kindly helped us out by asking, "WTF is #deadfisheyes?".

lolol never forget. Big thanks to the creator of this vid. XD



And now, Josei Seven is saying Pi is dating Kitagawa Keiko? PIKO T-SHIRTS FOR ALL!

Tokyo Sports is saying Kagami Seira may have broken up with Yamapi.

Things seemed to be going pretty well. Yamapi sure thought so - he even gave them their own namesquish, "Serapi" - which could be mistaken for the Japanese pronunciation of "therapy" but it obviously is not.
Makes me want to call them Sailor P.

Anyway, according to an insider, "Yamashita loved this name so much and would say it any chance he got; he wanted show off how in love they were."

Yamapi even had t-shirts made. T-shirts! 100 of them! The design was yellow and had "Serapi~" spelled out with pink hands. This was all on Pi's dime and cost him quite a bit. After giving the shirts out to friends there were only 3 left.
He has very nice friends.

Apparently Yamapi has a thing for t-shirts. Earlier this year he gave out "Yamashita Spirits" shirts at the Code Blue wrap party (say whut?). He also made shirts for Kinjou Sekisan, or 錦城赤山, a play on the kanji of his and his buddies Nishikdo Ryo, Shirota Yu, and Akanishi Jin's names.
LOL What a nerd.

Despite Pi's enthusiasm, Seira wasn't feelin it so much. She's the one who talked about splitting up. "She was fed up with his childishness."

Because he was so busy they couldn't really go out on dates, so put his heart into those t-shirts but she saw it as "childish" and was totally turned off.
He loved too much!

Dumped over some t-shirts. SMH. So wait, one day the tabs are saying Seira's going around boasting Pi is her boyfriend and then this? Come on now.

Oh, since we're on the topic of Yamapi, don't forget about Operation #Deadfisheyes. :D

'Night.

Questions for you guys!
1. Do you tweet?
2. Do you have a sense of humor and fondness for cheap giggles?
3. Are you sensitive about your idols?

If you answered Yes, Yes, and No, you just may be interested in:

DO IT FOR YAMAPI.



LOL Thank you for your time. XD

One quickie and then I'm going to bed.

Friday magazine caught actress Hirayama Aya (25) in Shinjuku on a date with her "Johnny's boyfriend" (as they say in the headline) Takaki Yuya (19) of Hey! Say! JUMP.

Hirayama and Takaki both appeared in Gokusen 3 so perhaps they got close on set. Last summer gossip about them shopping together spread over the net as well as rumors of them holding hands while out in Harajuku. On top of that, Takaki apparently has a much talked about necklace with an A on it.

Anyway, here's a pic.

Although V6 leader Sakamoto Masayuki and former Morning Musume leader Nakazawa Yuko have reportedly been dating for 8 years (since performing together in the musical Footloose back in '01), they seem to have done a pretty good job avoiding the paparazzi, until now.

Josei Seven caught the two late last month at a shabu shabu restaurant in the metro area. According to a showbiz insider, "Sakamoto's been going there for a long time and Nakazawa is usually with him." One of the restaurant's regular patrons said they always discuss work and she gives him advice. They also mention she had a silver ring on her left ring finger.



Come onnn, get married. ♥

Well, in case you --> haven't already heard <--, Tina is back in the spotlight. Toda Erika and Hina (Murakami Shingo), that is. Josei Seven's got a nice little story on them - complete with photos.

One night a couple weeks ago Toda went to an izakaya where Hina was waiting for her. As the pub was filled with a bunch of drunk old men, the young couple really stood out. They sat next to each other in the ozashiki (tatami room) holding hands and being very flirty with each other.

After an hour they left and walked for a little bit. The couple then stopped and stood there - staring into each other's eyes. Toda got up on her tippy toes a little bit to get closer to Hina. Just as their lips about to touch they notice a passer-by and quickly separate.
Haha, way to ruin the moment.

They went out onto a main street where they held hands and walked arm in arm. Toda appeared to have had a bit too much to drink, so Hina would grab her hand to keep her from stumbling. She also bumped into him a few times on purpose. When they got to Toda's apartment Hina opened the door, something he's become quite used to.
I bet he has...

On top of all that Josei Seven actually managed to get a statement out of Hina. (ORLY?)
He said, "Both of us are shooting dramas right now so our schedules have been pretty busy. Since we were able to meet we went out to eat, talked about work and fashion and had a good time. I got to know her when we appeared in a drama together. We're both from Kansai so she's easy to talk to and I can relax around her. We get along very well and she's very important to me."

Aww, I really like them together. :D

Here's something that came out in Shunkan Bunshun last month.

SMAP's popularity is on the decline. For many years they were called national idols and anything they appeared in would get massive ratings, but all that is beginning to collapse. Their drama ratings have fallen and their show SMAPxSMAP, which at one point was pulling in over 30%, is now closer to 10 (whatev, SMAPxSMAP is good shit). TV stations are now focusing more on Arashi. Furthermore, all of this will have an impact on who will be succeeding the throne to Johnny's Jimusho.

Having realized SMAP just aren't what they used to be, TV stations have started putting their feelers out to find another talent to replace them. However, their reliance on Johnny's hasn't changed. A showbiz insider said,"Their interest has shifted from SMAP to Arashi. Back in August after Arashi's Kokuritsu concert, they had a big party at a hotel where Fuji and NTV executives greeted them - something unthinkable back in SMAP's heyday."
INCONCEIVABLE!

Apparently the whole SMAP situation is having an effect on who will be successor to Johnny's Jimusho, something TV stations are keeping their eyes on. "Right now it's beetween Iijima Michi, who has been managing SMAP, and Fujishima Julie Keiko, daughter of Vice President Mary Kitagawa.

Due to her association with SMAP people are turning their backs on Iijima as well. "Recently Johnny drunkenly said to a TV show staffer, 'Are you with Iijima? Or Julie? All the stations should drop Iijima and go with Julie.'"

Well, whatever Johnny says probably goes and there doesn't seem to be anything stopping Arashi right now. But if they take SMAPxSMAP away from me, I'ma hafta cut a bitch.

Previously: Yamashita Tomohisa is dating Kagami Seira who, as it turns out, is friends with Abiru Yuu - Yamashita's ex-girlfriend, whom he still hangs out with. How is this going to work?

Tokyo Sports has reported that Abiru isn't too happy Kagami doesn't abide by a chicks before dicks policy. Apparently Kagami's been going around to everyone boasting, "He's my boyfriend!"

People are afraid of what would happen if the couple were to act all flirty in front of Abiru.
Something might go down!

And that's it. I thought they were going to say Abiru was up to something but maybe that'll be in the next episode. lol come on, I want some drama.

source: エンタメScoop

Haha, let's see what this is about.

Back in August, Nagase and some people, possibly staff, went out for drinks in "gay town," or Shinjuku's Ni-chome district. Everyone was happy, they were drinkin champagne, one of the staff was some chick who did fortune telling so everyone was getting their fortunes read; it was all very exciting - especially for Nagase, who was already drunk when he got there.

One of the gay men (?) in the bar, perhaps smitten by Nagase's manliness, goes to him and says, "Gimme a kiss!" and he did.
That question mark is not mine. lol Tranny lovin.

Whether it was the atmosphere and the alcohol, or he really is gay, Nagase quite comfortable giving him a kiss.
I think I'll go with the former.

Apparently Nagase's dad, while not gay himself, manages a gay bar so maybe that's why Nagase was there.
Seriously?

Meh, nothing particularly scandalous, just a guy having some fun. Now, if he had showed up in a pair of short shorts...

I'm sure by now everyone knows about Akanishi Jin's spread in an･an. Well, Tokyo Sports has a little inside info on what went down (or up) during the photoshoot.

There is one shot in particular in which the model is on top of Jin. Apparently the simulated sexytimes took several hours to shoot and when it was over, Jin didn't get out of the bed. Perhaps he'd gotten a bit too excited.
Yeah, naked girls on the crotch tend to do that to a person.

Since this wasn't a movie or drama they went at it full on nude with no "maebari" (to cover up the privates), which may have led to a sticky situation.

While waiting to continue the shoot Jin got up to go the bathroom and, whoops, the front of his robe to opened. Next thing ya know out pops his junk looking like "an extra large kyo-nasu (Kyoto eggplant)." According to the witness, it didn't match his body.
LOL Were they expecting something smaller?

Anyway, there you have it. Eggplant. And in case there's any confusion, no, he did not jizz the bed. Although that would've been the icing on the cake. lol

Drive by post.

Some news came out earlier announcing Sawajiri Erika has been let go from her agency Stardust Promotion. The reason seems to be a "serious breach of contract." Earlier this week she went into the office and was told they would be cancelling her contract. Her husband, Takashiro Tsuyoshi, tried to fight it but no such luck.

Can't say I saw that coming.

Alrighty, so you've probably heard Yamashita Tomohisa and model/singer Kagami Seira are a couple. They got Friday'd while on a "date" yadda yadda yadda. Well, now some are saying the tabs got it all wrong. And on top of that, a certain ex-girlfriend may still be in the picture.

"Yamashita and Kagami are not dating," says a Johnny's insider. "They are more than friends but not quite lovers." Since they've met Kagami hasn't had a boyfriend and the two remain just friends.
And the peasants rejoice.

Lately Kagami has been going to clubs two or three times a month to sing and Yamashita has gone to watch her. But apparently it wasn't planned. She happened to be singing and he happened to be there.
I'm sure some of you don't buy that. Not impossible though.

While they are good friends, they haven't reached the couple stage and who knows if/when they will. Then there's Abiru Yu. She and Yamashita aren't together anymore but that doesn't mean he's completely cut her out of his life. Abiru and Yamashita have an "undesirable but inseparable" relationship, so they still keep in touch.
That girl is poisonnnnnnnnn ♪

Oh, and one more thing, Abiru and Kagami are friends.
Awkwarrrrd.

Friends, lovers, whatever makes 'em happy. As for his relationship with Abiru, who's to say it's undesirable? Is she stalking him, punching out possible girlfriends? No, that would be the fans. So they talk, big deal. Oh no, his poor image. Now, if Abiru starts pulling some Boozer Beat shit trying to sabotage things, then we'll have somethin to talk about. And if Pi can't seem to get her out of his head then he needs to deal with that. lol why am I going on about this?

Anyway, on a related note, Pi rumors need to be more lulzy. Come on, tabs!

I found this kind of amusing. From Tokyo Sports.

Actress Nagasawa Masami loves her some men, particularly Johnny's idols. Nothing wrong with that, right? Right. In fact, she used to date one; Masami and Nino of Arashi were together for about two years (2 years? that number changes every time). They were very close and spent a lot of time at each other's homes, but when they were exposed by the media they broke up. After that, Masami's agency, worried about her image, prohibited her from dating any Johnny's talent.

Unfortunately for her agency, giving up Johnny's cold turkey simply didn't work. "This year she hasn't been able to hold herself back and started breaking the rules by going out to eat and to karaoke with them."
That sneaky little tart.

"Right now she has three favorites she takes turns going shopping with."

Hmm, I wonder who the guys are. Meh, anyway it all seems pretty harmless. Or maybe she's trying to get into their pants. Who knows.

Just a quick post because I've got nothing better to do.

Looks like actress Kuroki Meisa (21) is dating actor Nakamura Shido (37) - and, if you're like me, you may have just watched him act a fool alongside Matsuda Shota in a very funny cm.

I don't really have anything in the way of details, I just came across a screencap from the news showing an article about the two in today's Sports Hochi.

[edit] I found some other pics and skimmed them for info: they got close back in April while working together in the play Akai Shiro Kuroi Suna. Nakamura was all over that and pursued her pretty hard. They've now been together for a month.

So yeah, there you go.

Been wondering what Utada Hikaru's been up to lately? Well, this week's Josei Jishin is reporting she has a new love in her life.

According to the mag, he's a 34 year old artist who creates nihonga, or Japanese style paintings.

A music industry insider says they may be living together; he's been spotted going in and out of her place quite often. One evening in August they were seen leaving the apartment together on their bikes and later that night they came back together.

Earlier this month they rode their bikes to a 25 story apartment building in Akasaka; she stayed for about an hour then went home, stopping on the way to get some organic vegetables from a high end supermarket. Later that evening he went back to her place. Since then his bike has been seen there every day and in the afternoon he and his bike can be spotted leaving.

A friend of his says the apartment building they went to is the artist's studio. "He said, 'I'm pretty much living at Hikaru's place. I have to look after the princess. I just go to the studio for work.'" As for marriage, they're not in a hurry.
lol he called her Hime-sama.

The two went on a date at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum to see the "Ancient Egypt in Torino" exhibit.

One thing about the bike riding, he's does it quite a bit and Utada pretty much sucks at it but she rides along with him anyway. Clearly he's had quite an influence on her.
They sound cute.

Hey all,

While I may not know much about k-pop I have heard a lot about the Jaebum/2PM situation and think it's pretty sucky. So, in an effort to help show support for Jay, I am pimping this brand new community:

1000cranes4jay

heartenseoul came up with the idea of the 1000 (or more) Cranes For Jay fan project and I'm sure many of you out there would like to take part.

What the project is (as stated in the comm's profile):
"What we're trying to do is not make 1000 cranes by simply one person but have a thousand fans each take a picture of themselves with a paper crane for Jay. Then, each of these pictures will be arranged in a music video and sent to him on a DVD or via online streaming site. In addition, letters (and post-its) of encouragement are being collected to be sent to him personally."

All the details are at the comm, so if you're interested be sure to join and check it out (and take note of the deadline).
