Masako Mori to star in drama special
Thu, June 14, 2007 (5:45pm EDT)
Singer Masako Mori will act in her first lead drama role in 22 years. The special episode "Okaasan, Boku ga Umarete Gomenasai" will air as part of Fuji TV's "Kinyo Prestige" drama slot (Friday 9:00pm) on July 13. In it, Mori will play the mother of a young boy with cerebral palsy.
The drama is inspired by a true story. In 1978, Mori sang a song on television composed by Minoru Endo. It was adapted from a poem written by a young boy who suffered from cerebral palsy and died three years earlier at the age of 15. He had been a big fan of Mori.
A book about the boy's life was published around that time. It was eventually read by producer Tadayuki Hazama, who decided that he wanted to make it into a drama but was unable to find an actress to play the part of the mother. As fate would have it, Mori made her return to acting in this year's "Dondo Bare" as the mother of the main character, and Hazama immediately offered her the role.
The rest of the main cast includes Naoki Watanabe as the young boy, Eiichiro Funakoshi as the father, and Saki Fukuda as an acquaintance of the boy.

Nakatani, Watabe reunited?
Fri, June 15, 2007 (3:54pm EDT)
 
Rumors have surfaced that actress Miki Nakatani and actor Atsuro Watabe may be dating.
The two first met while working together on the hit 1999 drama series "Keizoku." Through work, they developed a very close friendship, and were often rumored to be a couple. In 2004, however, they had a falling out and went their separate ways. Watabe later divorced Rikako Murakami in December 2005, after 12 years of marriage.
Earlier this spring, the two happened to meet again at a restaurant, and are now reported to be frequently seeing each other. However, their respective agencies have stated that the two are not dating. Nakatani's office also indicated that they may be working on a movie together.

Student arrested for blackmailing BoA
Fri, June 15, 2007 (4:33pm EDT)
A Korean college student was arrested in Seoul on Friday on charges of blackmailing SM Entertainment, the Korean management agency of pop singer BoA.
In April 2006, the suspect apparently hacked into BoA's mini-homepage on social networking site Cyworld, and also gained access to her private computer. He obtained photos of BoA with Danny Ahn (of g.o.d.), along with e-mails between the two singers. He then threatened to release his findings to the media unless SM Entertainment paid him 35 million won.
The suspect was finally traced and captured after he made a similar attempt to blackmail Ahn for 65 million won earlier this month.
SM Entertainment admitted that they paid the blackmailer last year. The agency also stated that BoA and Ahn became friends through work, but the suspect had threatened to expose them as if they were in a relationship.

Sorimachi stars in Masafumi Akikawa drama project
Mon, June 18, 2007 (1:27pm EDT)
Last month, it was announced that tenor Masafumi Akikawa's hit song "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" is being used as the theme for a special Fuji TV drama project. The project consists of four episodes across four nights, with each story dealing with grief. Two nights (August 10-11) have already been set aside for the "Hadashi no Gen" drama adaptation announced last week, and the first night (August 3) will be based on a publicly submitted story.
The remaining episode (August 4), titled "Zou no Hanako," is based on the nonfiction children's book "Kawaisou na Zou" (roughly, "Those Poor Elephants"). In 1943, due to bombings during the war, animals from Tokyo's Ueno Zoo broke free and were ordered to be killed. While the original book focused on the plight of three elephants, the drama centers on the worker in charge of the elephants, who desperately tries to save them. The role will be played by actor Takashi Sorimachi.
Scenes involving the elephants will be filmed in Thailand, where an open set will be constructed to resemble the zoo.
Other cast members include Masaaki Sakai and Kazuki Kitamura.
