Hirosue to serve as navigator in drama specialTue, February 20, 2007 (5:21pm EST)
On March 12, NTV will broadcast a drama special titled "Serendip no Kiseki" in its 10:00pm time slot. The special is composed of three stories, based on writer Kundo Koyama's short story "Film." As the title suggests, the theme of the drama is serendipity.

The three stories follow an advertising OL (Yoshino Kimura), a restaurant producer (Ikki Sawamura), and a patissier (Atsushi Ito). Although the stories are separate, they will be connected by an "angel" from above (Ryoko Hirosue), serving as the drama's navigator.

Akikawa's 'Sen no Kaze' surpasses 'Mononoke'Tue, February 27, 2007 (4:36am EST)
http://www.kdashstage.jp/akikawa/image/top_photo.jpg
Tenor Masafumi Akikawa continues to break records. His single "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" has been selling incredibly well since his first-time appearance at last year's Kohaku Uta Gassen, even though the single originally debuted last May. Last month, the single became the first by a classical artist to reach #1 on the charts.
This past week, "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" sold about 73,000 copies. This puts the song's total sales so far at about 534,000 copies, breaking the record for a single by a classical artist. The previous record-holder was Yoshikazu Mera's 1997 single "Princess Mononoke," the theme song to the animated film of the same name. That song sold 504,000 by the time it left the charts in July 1998.
Akikawa also holds the records for highest-ranking album and best-selling album by a Japanese vocalist with his recent "Ifu Dodo"; it has peaked at #14 and has sold over 69,000 copies to date.

It was recently discovered that Mika Nakashima (24) is in a serious relationship with actor Masatoshi Nagase (40). The two first met when they both appeared in the 2002 drama series "Shiritsu Tantei Hama Mike," and they got together immediately after the divorce of Nagase and Kyoko Koizumi in 2004.
Some members of Nakashima's family believe that marriage may be near. Nakashima's agency confirmed the relationship, but denied that there have been talks of marriage.
