Two Katos to star in sex addict stage drama


TOKYO —
Singer Shigeaki Kato, 21, member of pop group NEWS, and model-actress Natsuki Kato, 23, will star in “Seminar,” a stage play about a sex addict. The play opens in May in Shinjuku.

Shigeaki Kato plays a student studying at an American university, who goes to Italy to take part in a seminar on the Mèdici family - a powerful and influential Florentine family from the 14th to 18th century, who along with the other great signore families of Italy inspired the birth of the Renaissance. While in Italy, Kato’s character forms relationships with four women in succession, including one played by Natsuki Kato.

“To put it bluntly, I play a sex addict,” Shigeaki said. “There are quite a few love scenes in there, so I’m pretty excited about that. Plus I’m interested in the arts from the Renaissance period.”

However, Natsuki Kato cautioned reporters: “This is not porn, so don’t just focus on the bedroom scenes!”

“Seminar” will open at The Globe Tokyo in Shinjuku from May 17 to June 3, and at the Umeda Arts Theater in Osaka from June 9 to 14.~

BUMPING WITH RYO

I guess this should go here:



Nishikido Ryo (Kanjani8, NEWS) sings a bit of Heavy Rotation (during a concert MC, I guess)

YEAH BOY

Where my fangirls at? Is everyone digging the new NEWS album that came out last week? I know I am

[Amplifier]

NEWS member Tomohisa Yamashita (25) will launch a solo tour starting in January, planned to consist of 27 concerts in 10 cities over the course of a few months. Although the majority of those will be in Japan, the tour will include 10 shows in 5 cities outside Japan, starting with Hong Kong.

Yamashita reportedly became interested in starting international activities after NEWS performed in Taiwan in 2007. Now he is finally getting his chance to perform on his own for overseas audiences. With Korean pop music currently enjoying a boom throughout Japan and other parts of Asia, Yamashita said that he hopes to show fans "what only Japan's Johnny's can do."

Yamashita will be just the third Johnny's Jimusho artist to do a solo tour outside Japan, after Masahiko Kondo and Jin Akanishi.

The tour is currently scheduled to start with two concerts in Hong Kong on January 29-30. Yamashita will take a break in February, presumably to promote the live-action "Ashita no Joe" movie which he stars in. He will then resume the tour in early March with some domestic concerts. Besides Hong Kong, his overseas shows will be held in Taiwan on March 26-27, Korea (Busan) on April 16-17, Thailand on April 23-24, and Korea (Seoul) at the end of April. A total of 236,000 fans are estimated to attend.

Before the tour starts, Yamashita plans to release his first solo album in January. Some songs will be entirely in English, and Yamashita is also writing lyrics for some other songs. He also revealed that it will likely be a mixture of club music and R&B.

Yamashita Tomohisa & Nishikido Ryo withdraw from NEWS.


On October 7th, Johnny & Associates Inc. announced that two NEWS members, Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo,  withdrew from the group on the same day.  Yamashita will pursue his solo activities, and Nishikido will focus on his activities in Kanjani∞. Consequently, NEWS will continue their activities with four members: Koyama Keiichiro, Kato Shigeaki, Masuda Takahisa, and Tegoshi Yuya.

Yamashita commented, “It will be a challenge all on my own from now on. There may be inconvenient or hard things which I have never felt before, however, I would like to strive in every project with the precious experiences that I received with NEWS.”

Koyama, who will stay in NEWS, expressed positively, “Although we will be going on different paths, the four members of NEWS will continue the legacy of the eight years we walked together.”

Nishikido, who belonged to both Kanjani∞ and NEWS, revealed that the reason behind his withdrawal was that his schedule adjustments for both groups didn’t work well. He said, “Please continue to support this new NEWS with Koyama, Kato, Masuda, and Tegoshi.”

[atarashii-michi]

my heart feels like it has shattered into a thousand shards
and my world is on the verge of collapse.
its hurts so much.
i've been a fan since around Cherish, so i saw them go from eight to seven to six.
but i was hoping i would never have to see this.
still, i will continue to love and support them.
all we can do now is wait for NEWS to open their wings to FLY AGAIN.

[Amplifier]

I'm glad Ryo will be sticking with Kanjani, and that Yamapi will be going fulltime solo now. Haven't been a big fan of the recent stuff NEWS has put out, but I've really dug KJ8 and Yamap's solo work.

[atarashii-michi]

Comments from newly-departed and remaining NEWS members, reports TV Asahi.

 Tomohisa Yamashita:
“One of my biggest achievements has been to be able to work in a group called NEWS, and to have had so many fans support us.  Going solo will be a challenge.  I know that it’ll feel different and I’ll go through hard times unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, but I want to use the skills that I’ve learned in NEWS to each and every job I do from now on.  I’ll do my best and stay focused so I hope I can stay good rivals with the other five guys.”
 Ryo Nishikido:
“It has been an amazing experience to have been given the chance to work in both NEWS and Kanjani8, and I want to say a huge thank you to all of my fans who supported the Nishikido in NEWS.  Being part of two groups, there were scheduling conflicts that couldn’t be resolved no matter how hard I tried.  I felt bad because it was getting very difficult to plan CD releases and concert tours on both sides, which ultimately lead to this decision.  I wish Koyama, Kato, Masuda, and Tegoshi all the best in delivering a new NEWS.”
 Keiichiro Koyama:
“We talked over and over again until we reached this decision.  We might be working separately now, but the four of us will carry on what we have all done for the past 8 years.  We promise to work harder than we ever have, and we will move forward.  I hope you will continue to support us.”
 Shigeaki Kato:
“I want to take this decision in up front, and work as hard as I can to build a new NEWS.  I hope that you will continue to support the two and four of us from now on like you always have.”
 Takahisa Masuda:
“I love the NEWS we have built together, and all these guys will still be my best friends.  And to all of the fans who have supported the group that I love, you’re still my best friends too.  These two will be working separately from us now, but I promise to work as hard as I can so that you’ll continue to support us.”
 Yuya Tegoshi:
“I want to say I’m sorry to all of the NEWS fans who have waited so long for us to get together again.  But I want to think positively about this move, and work hard to be able to make great music because it’s for you, the fans who I love, and who have always supported us.  We’ll be different, but I hope we can still love one another.  I hope you will continue to support us.”
