Momoiro Clover's Akari Hayami to quit idol career
Sun, January 16, 2011 (9:46am EST)
 
Idol group Momoiro Clover held an in-store event in Chiba on Sunday, and member and sub-leader Akari Hayami (15) unexpectedly announced in front of the 500 fans in attendance that she is leaving the group in April.
With tears in her eyes, Hayami explained that she wants to try a different path in life besides being an idol. Hayami said that she felt since she was little that she didn't have the personality to be an idol. She also said that she had felt doubts about being in Momoiro Clover, and there were even times where she had started to dislike being in the group. However, she remarked that her time with the group was not a waste, as she has made some important memories.
Leader Kanako Momota (16) said that she was speechless when Hayami had informed her of the decision just three days earlier.
Momoiro Clover is scheduled to release their next single "Mirai Bowl" on March 9. Hayami's last performance with the group will be on April 10 at Nakano Sun Plaza.

Maki Horikita stars in drama based on Masashi Sada song
Sun, January 16, 2011 (6:55pm EST)
Maki Horikita (22) has been chosen to star in an upcoming Fuji TV drama special, tentatively titled "Kakashi." The drama is based on the 1977 song of the same name by Masashi Sada.
This is the third time in recent years that one of Sada's works has been adapted to television. In 2008, his novel "Bizan" was made into a drama starring Takako Tokiwa (after already being made into a movie with Nanako Matsushima). In 2009, his song "Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi" also became a drama, starring Masami Nagasawa.
The original song "Kakashi" tells of a family whose daughter has left home to live far away in the city. For the drama, producers decided to model the characters after a family of udon makers from the Goto Islands, who were the subject of a documentary program that previously aired on Fuji TV.
Horikita plays the role of Chizuru Saeki, the second daughter of the family. After graduating from high school, she leaves the family's home in the Goto Islands to pursue a career as a photographer in Tokyo. While working as an assistant, she ends up involved in some trouble, and after becoming tired of life in Tokyo she returns home after three years.
     
The parents of the family will be played by Ken Matsudaira and Jun Fubuki. Sousuke Takaoka and Shuga Nakamura will play Chizuru's brothers, while Noriko Nakagoshi and Karen Miyama will play her sisters. Sada himself will make a guest appearance as the manager of a small bookshop.
"Kakashi" was filmed in early October last year. Fuji TV plans to broadcast the special sometime this March.

Japanese discover charity with help of cartoon characters
TOKYO —
Hundreds of Japanese people, young and old, including those who claim to be homeless, have been making donations for underprivileged children across the nation for the past few weeks, having apparently discovered the significance of charity with the help of long-forgotten cartoon heroes.
The fad, now dubbed the ‘‘Tiger Mask Phenomenon,’’ also reveals that there are actually many individuals who want to help other people in need, but that Japanese society lacks a functioning mechanism for them to make donations.
The phenomenon started on Christmas Day in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, when somebody secretly placed 10 brand new school bags in boxes with gift wrapping in front of a welfare facility for children. The donor was identified only as Date Naoto, the hero of the 1960s cartoon series ‘‘Tiger Mask,’’ in a card found with the bags.
Since the incident was reported by the media, copycat donors have delivered cash, stationery, vegetables, paper diapers and other items to welfare facilities and city offices in all of Japan’s 47 prefectures under the names of Date Naoto and other cartoon and anime characters.
Kensuke Suzuki, associate professor of sociology at Kwansei Gakuin University, believes most of the donors are middle-age people who spent their childhood in the late 1960s and early 1970s when Tiger Mask, Kamen (masked) Rider and other heroes mentioned in donations were popular among children.
‘‘They are the characters of an era when what is right and what is wrong was clear and simple,’’ Suzuki said. The chain of imitation reflects the ease people feel in expressing goodwill under the guise of those heroes.
Suzuki said anonymity and charity make a good combination for the Japanese.
‘‘Japanese would hate it if their names would be revealed in making donations, like in donations by billionaires in the United States. The distinct image of the heroes and anonymity create a synergy, and this has encouraged people who wanted to do something helpful for others,’’ he said.
But the sociologist also believes the phenomenon will not last long, because donors would want their acts to be reported by the media, but as the number of similar donations keeps on increasing, individual cases no longer makes news.
Photographer Shinya Fujiwara is critical of the phenomenon, seeing it as being based on a ‘‘distorted heroism’’ mirroring Japan’s political and economic doldrums.
‘‘Those donors probably include people whose ties with their families and friends have been severed, and who have no place to express affection for others,’’ said Fujiwara, who felt ‘‘frigid’’ when he first heard of the Tiger Mask movement.
It is a kind of ‘‘compensatory behavior’’ for lonely people to satisfy their sense of existence by getting media attention, he said.
He also criticized the donors who delivered leather bags used by elementary school children in Japan, following the selection of gifts by the first Date Naoto in Maebashi, without thinking whether such an item is actually needed by children at welfare facilities.
When he went to the Kobe area in western Japan to take photos at the time of the devastating 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake there, he saw piles of stationery and clothes that had been sent from across the country but were not needed by the quake victims, and realized that what was truly needed were vegetables.
The box-shaped leather bag is a special item for Japanese children as it is customary in Japan for the family of a child who enters elementary school to prepare a new bag, which usually costs around 30,000 yen. Many young children look forward to using it ahead of entering elementary school.
But since the phenomenon has resulted in the delivery of hundreds of school bags at welfare facilities, some of their operators have expressed puzzlement, because many children in such facilities are not orphans but are without proper care or are suspected of delinquency.
‘‘All children in this facility have families,’’ said Shigeyoshi Suzuki, head of a children’s home in Sendai, on Wednesday after two boxes, believed to contain school bags, were donated anonymously.
‘‘Precisely because the children are away from their families, it is important for them to receive bags that have been bought by their families,’’ Suzuki said, adding, ‘‘I appreciate the donations, but I cannot open these boxes.’‘
But people involved in charity activities have generally given a warm response to the phenomenon.
Yusuke Kumagai, an official of the Tokyo-based Central Community Chest of Japan, which runs the Red Feather Community Chest Movement, said he has been ‘‘relieved’’ by the Tiger Mask Phenomenon, because it came at a time when the amount of donations received by his group dropped to 20.1 billion yen in 2009 from the peak of 26.6 billion yen in 1995, which made him ‘‘worried about a reduction in the desire to help each other.’‘
Author Keiko Ochiai, who runs a bookstore specializing in children’s books, also gave a thumbs-up to the phenomenon, saying, ‘‘People have longed for good news because there is so much dreadful news every day.’‘
‘‘Everybody has the inner feeling of wanting to please somebody. After hearing that somebody donated something somewhere, people felt ‘Maybe I can do the same’ and that’s how this movement has spread,’’ she said.
Even if those anonymous donors included people who just wanted news coverage of their acts, she does not think it is bad.
‘‘As a result (of such donations), somebody became happy and smiled. I think that is wonderful.’’

175R's KAZYA, aluto's Daigo Fujita form new band
Mon, January 17, 2011 (11:12am EST)
 
Guitarist KAZYA of rock band 175R has formed a new unit called DrunK! with vocalist/guitarist Daigo Fujita of the band aluto. The news was announced on both 175R's website and Fujita's own website.
KAZYA and Fujita were actually in the same band when they were high school students 14 years ago. They have been friends since then, and they decided to start a new unit as both 175R and aluto went on hiatus at the end of last year.
The name of their unit is said to have a double meaning: "drunk" as in being "drunk on music," and a combination of "D" (Daigo) and "K" (KAZYA) and "run."
DrunK!'s first live performance will be at the CHELSEA HOTEL live house in Shibuya on February 26.

'Akunin' captures grand prize at 65th Mainichi Film Awards
Kyoko Enami (Mainichi)
Winners of the 65th Mainichi Film Awards (MFA) were announced on Jan. 17, with the film "Akunin" (Villain) awarded the grand prize, while Shinobu Terajima and Shinichi Tsutsumi won the best actress and best actor awards, respectively.
"What delights me the most is that the prize makes our staff and cast members feel they've been rewarded for their work," said Lee Sang-il, director of "Akunin."
The latest title added to the accolades the film has already received, with Eri Fukatsu winning the best actress award at the Montreal World Film Festival last September for her role in the flick -- which is based on Shuichi Yoshida's namesake bestseller novel and sheds light on the problems of modern society through a murder case.
Director Masahiro Kobayashi's film "Haru tono Tabi" (Haru's Journey) won the MFA's excellent film award. Kobayashi, who spent 10 years completing the movie, commented: "I think the film succeeded in depicting human relationships."
Terajima, who received the MFA's best actress award for the second time following her success in the 58th MFA, was lauded for her role in the film "Caterpillar," in which she played the wife of a "war hero" after he returns limbless from the battlefields.
"My instincts told me to play the role in the film. The award has given me great confidence," remarked Terajima.
Actor Tsutsumi, who was awarded for his role as a surgeon who performs a liver transplant in the film, "Koko no Mesu" (A Lone Scalpel), said, "We acted and played just like a medical team during operations. I was able to act in a natural manner."
Yui Natsukawa, who was awarded the best supporting actress prize for her role as a nurse in the same film, appreciated director Izuru Narushima and other crew members' work, saying, "I owe so much to the teamwork during the shooting."
Goro Inagaki, a member of the popular all-male group SMAP, received the best supporting actor award for his role as a diabolical lord in the film "Jusan-nin no Shikaku" (13 Assassins).
"I had so much fun playing a villain," said Inagaki.
Veteran actress Kyoko Enami, who earned the Tanaka Kinue Award, was grateful for the acknowledgment.
"The award gives me encouragement to continue as an actress a little longer," a smiling Enami said.
After entering the then Daiei film company in 1959, Enami first starred in the 1966 film "Gambling Woman," which became a smash hit and spawned 16 sequels until 1971.
She established her fame as a skilled actress with the starring role in the 1973 film, "Tsugaru Jongarabushi" (Tsugaru Folksong). Last year alone, she appeared in four films, including "Shokudo Katatsumuri" (Rinco's Restaurant).
Enami once had the chance to appear in the same film as Tanaka did -- director Kon Ichikawa's "Ototo" (Her Brother) in 1960.
"I had just become a utility actress back then, and I don't even deserve to say I had contact with Ms. Tanaka. I'm in awe to receive such a prize," said a humble Enami.

Speed's Uehara Lands Lead Role
January 19, 2011
Uehara Takako (28, photo left), a member of the J-pop group Speed, has landed her first movie starring role. Though she has appeared on the big screen, with and without her fellow group mates, her role in "Koi Tanibashi - La Vallee de L'Amour" marks a significant change for her. She plays an employee at a Tokyo design firm who returns to her family's country home after being laid off. Back in the onsen (hot spring resort) town of Misasa in Tottori Prefecture, she dons a kimono to take over the role of "okami" or proprietress of the family inn. During the 3-week location shoot, she had to carry out one local tradition - paying homage at the Nageiredo temple, precariously perched on the 900m cliffs overlooking the town.
Uehara had her first movie role with Speed in 1998, her solo debut was the main supporting role in 1999's "Dreammaker," for which she won a Best Newcomer prize at the Japan Academy Awards. She has had a handful of dramatic and narration movie roles since. TV drama parts have been more plentiful and she has also appeared in a couple of stage productions.
Miyagawa Daisuke a Dad At Last
Popular comedian Miyagawa Daisuke (38, photo right) has finally become a father. Married for 13 years, he announced yesterday that his wife gave birth to a baby boy back on December 2. The late announcement was due to the fact that the baby was born premature and Miyagawa waited until he was released from hospital.
