On November 7th UNION SQUARE GARDEN released their latest single “Catch up, latency“.
It was their first single release in about 8 months, and served as the opening theme song for the anime series “Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru”. Available in two versions, the limited edition came with a second disc containing live audio of every performance from the finale of their “UNISON SQUARE GARDEN TOUR 2017-2018″One roll, One romance” concert held on January 28th, 2018.
The trailer for the upcoming film “Snow Flower” has been released.
Sandaime J Soul Brothers member Hiiroomi Tosaka will be in charge of the main role, while his leading lady is Ayami Nakajo.
Johnny’s group Arashi will be appearing in a brand new CM for JAL, otherwise known as Japan Airlines.
The CM in particular will be encouraging tourism to Hokkaido, the northernmost prefecture in Japan. Flights will be landing in Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido.
There’s a new LDH group in town, FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE are preparing for their major debut next month in December.
Earlier in the year the band received headlines, but it was with some very tragic news. One of the members Nakao Shota unfortunately passed away due to stomach cancer.
Nogizaka46 member Mai Shiraishi has continued to establish herself as one of the top members of the group.
Her 2017 photobook “Passport” has just been reprinted for the 22nd time, according to it’s publisher Kodansha. This is Shiraishi’s second photobook overall, her first titled “Seijun na Otona” was released in December 2014. She then went on to release her first fashion/style photobook “MAI STYLE” a month later in January 2015.
Model Koki has already made a strong impression on the Japanese entertainment scene since her debut in May. She’s already landed the cover of high profile magazines, visited other countries in Asia for work, and received her very own solo CM deal.
One of the primary reasons why she has received so much attention is due to her famous parents, actor Takuya Kimura and singer Shizuka Kudo.
