EXILE TAKAHIRO appears in the 2nd new commercial of Youfukuno AOYAMA, singing the classic “As Time Goes By” for the new product line of the high-performance “AOYAMA PRESTIGE TECHNOLOGY”. The commercial was broadcasted starting October 27.

The commercial features images of an old man who leads a sheep and is playing an accordion and old cars in the street amid a permeating fog. In what looks like a European street, EXILE TAKAHIRO passes by in his black coat while singing the famous song “As Time Goes By”.

The filming took place moments after sunset, capturing that “magic time”. Check out the CM and its making below.

Fans of popular rock band ONE OK ROCK recently caused a fuss on Twitter when they discovered that music legend Stevie Wonder covered one of the band’s songs. Unfortunately, the fans anger was unfounded, as Stevie Wonder was actually singing his own song…which ONE OK ROCK actually covered.

It was announced that Horikita Maki will be starring in the new drama PURE WHITE (Masshiro). The drama is written by scriptwriter Inoue Yumiko (The Great White Tower). Horikita will play a nurse in the finest celebrity hospital also known as the “White Inner Palace”. To play her character, she had her hair cut by 20cm (8 in) for the first time in 4 years.

Horikita will star as the nurse Arimura Akari, a 25 year old born in Funabashi, Chiba. She works as a nurse in the geriatric ward of a hospital in affiliation of her local nursing school. When she became a nurse, it was with the pure feeling of “I want to help people” and “I want to help the troubled people”. Four years after, in the face of a meager salary and too much work, she would rather quit and get married as soon as possible. Then, she gets a chance to work at the exclusive Toh Hospital and get a makeover as a well-off young lady. The hospital attracts political and business leaders, entertainers, and intellectuals because of its exclusivity despite the expensive medical fees.

E-girls will be releasing their 12th single “Mr. Snowman” on  November 26. The title song was already used as the theme song for CM e-ma featuring some of the members. The song is described as a catchy, winter dance pop tune. Different from the group’s colorful image, the members put on pure white dresses to match the winter season for this single.

The covers includes the members Shizuka, Ami, SAYAKA, Fujii Karen, Kaede, YURINO, Suda Anna, Fujii Shuuka, Washio Reina, Bando Nozomi, Sato Harumi, and Ishii Anna

A new E-girls album is also slated for release on December 31. Check out the covers, tracklist, and song preview below.
