A new series of Haruma's green tea campaign started yesterday, April 27, 2009. When you purchase a bottle, each will come with an original memo pad with Haruma on it. The memo pad comes in 6 types with 2 different patterns/3 different colors, and contains 20 sheets. Unfortunately, only a few select stores will carry the memo and there's a limited quantity.
A teaser is made available for viewing on the official site! Download here or you can also find it under "CMs." Just about 3 months left until the movie release
Popular stars Joe Odagiri and Masami Nagasawa are playing siblings in the TBS drama "Boku no Imouto," and recently there has been a lot of attention drawn to real-life siblings such as Jun and Yu Shirota, as well as Kumi Koda and misono. As a result, Oricon conducted a survey on the subject. A thousand men and women were asked, "Which famous person would you like to have as your younger brother?"
Leading the list was WaT member Teppei Koike. Among the responses were comments like "He's really cool," and "He's refreshing and seems really responsible." "Through his behavior and smile, the goodness of his personality just exudes out of him," commented a man from Miyagi.
Koike was followed by Takeru Sato, with females commenting that they can imagine "easily getting along with him and becoming really close." "You want to brag of having a younger brother with such a wonderful smile like his," said a female from Kanagawa.
With springtime meaning lots of fresh graduates entering companies for the first time, Oricon conducted a survey of 20- to 40-year-olds, asking them which famous person they would like to have as their new co-worker. Sho Sakurai of Arashi and talento Becky took the top spots in the men's and women's rankings, respectively.
For the male rankings, one female stated that Sakurai "thinks quickly and seems like the type to remember things about work quickly." Working as a newscaster for NTV's "NEWS ZERO," Sakurai has gained a lot of attention for his opinions. In the survey, he was followed by Teppei Koike of the duo WaT and pro golfer Ryo Ishikawa.
Yesterday was the release of Crows Zero II. There was also a graduation ceremony held for the cast members, each receiving diplomas. A video of this is available under "TV News/Variety."
