Hallo!
What were some of our faves for April? Look no further
On Friday, Becky made her first television appearance in months on “Nakai Masahiro no Kinyoubi no Sma-tachi e.” On the show, she confessed that her tearful press conference when the scandal first broke was a farce. She lied about Enon being just a friend when he was in fact her boyfriend. She also said that she once loved Enon, but no longer does. During the show, it was also noted that Becky met with Enon’s now ex-wife on May 2 (2 days after this episode of “Nakai Masahiro no Kinyoubi no Sma-tachi e” was filmed) and apologized to her.

As previously reported, Hey! Say! JUMP has a new single out titled Maji Sunshine. The new song, which is set as KOSE Cosmeport’s “Suncut (R)” commercial background song, is a festival song that has packed in the feelings of a boy in love frolicking under the blue sky, and it will make you suddenly want to start dancing. It’s a rare straight-forward “Wasshoi-type” summer love song from the group.
In the PV, the group breaks out of a boring day in class and find themselves in a jungle! The single was released last May 11 and sets the highest selling first day single sales for the group.
In addition, the group has announced a national arena tour kicking off in July. The tour will cover a total of 29 shows in 7 locations, including 12 shows at Yokohama Arena. No word yet on a new album, but it is expected to come out before the tour starts.
Check out the released poster and trailer for the film “Nanimono” (Somebody) gathering an ensemble cast of Takeru Sato, Kasumi Arimura, Fumi Nikaido, Masaki Suda, Masaki Okada and Takayuki Yamada.
The film is is based on the best- selling novel by Ryo Asai. It follows the lives of five college students who use social media to support each other and voice out their worries about the future. The poster resembles ID photos in resumes for job applications and also displays the characters’ twitter account names. The film will open on October 15.
It’s been announced that One Ok Rock will participate in 5 Seconds of Summer‘s America and Canada “SOUNDS LIVE FEELS LIVE” tour. Although OOR won’t be partaking in their entire tour, they’ll have a total of 22 performances together from June 30th to July 31st.
Check which cities they’ll be visiting!
