Bored and I was browsing through JpopAsia XD
Here's my harvest of news~ (As usual I'll be copying & pasting & editing)
~"Gokusen" Goes To The Big Screen
The popular drama series "Gokusen" is getting a movie version this summer. After three highly-rated seasons, the film will be the last time that lead actress Yukie Nakama plays the role of the teacher Yankumi.
The third season of "Gokusen" aired last spring and ended with a successful 22.8% average rating. The movie takes place after the graduation of that season's third-year class, which includes students played by Yuya Takaki and Haruma Miura. The story is related to a special episode airing on March 28 that deals with a big confrontation between the third-year students and the second-year students. In the movie, the same characters are involved again, but the story is set during the following school year.
The leader of the second-year students in the drama special is played by Kis-My-Ft2 member Yuta Tamamori, who has never acted in a television drama before. He will also appear in the movie.
NTV's Toya Sato, who worked on the dramas, is directing. The film is scheduled to open in July.
~Hey!Say! JUMP Continues Volleyball Support
It has been decided that popular group Hey! Say! JUMP will serve as support for the 40th Spring National High School Volleyball Tournament, opening on March 20th. This is their second year in a row.
Members Yuto Nakajima, Yuri Chinen, and Ryosuke Yamada will become high school students this April. "We have a stronger sense of affinity than last year," stated Yamada. Chinen added, "Seeing the teams trying their hardest, we want to receive the courage to become high school students."
Hey!Say! JUMP will perform at the opening right after the match-up lottery. They are singing the theme song, titled "Jounetsu JUMP." The single's release date has not yet been decided. (Woot! At least its confirmed Jounetsu JUMP will be a single~)
~YUI Provides Stereopony's Next Single
Up-and-coming girl band Stereopony has revealed that their third single, "I do it," is a collaboration with singer-songwriter YUI. This is the first time that YUI has created a song for another artist.
The band's vocalist, AIMI, has been heavily influenced by YUI.(XD so am I!) The group shares the same producer as her, but they were still surprised during a recording session in Okinawa when YUI, who happened to be taking a break there at the time, unexpectedly visited the studio. During that session, "I do it" was born.
The song is being released on April 22. On March 18, it will be made available for download as a chaku-uta. (Cant wait to see the result!)
~Maki Horikita To Play Homeless Girl In Fuji's New Drama
Actress Maki Horikita, 20, will play a homeless girl in Fuji TV’s new drama from April. In the new drama, which is not yet titled, Horikita will play a girl who becomes homeless due to her deceased father’s debt. She then marries a rich man who later dies of an illness, leaving behind six adopted children.
Horikita said, “When I saw my photo on the poster, my dirty appearance made me feel something that I had never experienced before.”
