Arashi’s Sakurai Sho, KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya and NEWS Koyama Keiichiro will be the main personalities for NTV’s annual “24hr Television” program. This was announced at the end of Arashi ni Shiyagare’s 3-hr SP this Saturday.

The three of them are program casters at NTV – Sakurai (NEWS ZERO), Kamenashi (Going! Sports & News), and Koyama (news every). Each of them has previously served as MC for the program with their groups, but this is the first time members of different groups were selected to host the charity program.

The theme of the program is “confession” and will broadcast on August 26 and 27. The program started from 1978 and will be running its 40th broadcast this year. More information about the program, such as the female personality, marathon runner and 24hr tv drama lead, will be announced later on.

Rugby player Ayumu Goromaru  (31) of the French league top 14 team RC Toulon will be dismissed after this season ends. According to the chairperson of RC Toulon, Mourad Boudjellal, he did not want to leave Ayumu behind, but Ayumu did not wish to remain. Last year Ayumu joined Toulon on a one year contract with the opportunity to extend, but it appears things aren’t going well enough to convince him to stay.

During Rugby World Cup 2015,  Ayumu showed impressive activity, but after joining Toulon last November he didn’t have many opportunities to play. So far during the current season, Ayumu has only played 5 times. Ayumu has been playing rugby since he was three years old and has many national university championship wins. Ayumu is currently debating on returning to Japan or playing with another team overseas.

“FIRE” is an all-English mid-tempo number that progressively gets more intense.

This week’s episode featured Ozaki Hiroya. This episode chronicles his life, from the death of his father, the legendary Ozaki Yutaka, when he was two years old to now. It’s noted that Yutaka died at the age of 26, and Hiroya is now 27. During the episode, Hiroya travels to Boston, United States, where he lived for a decade as a child. There he reunites with two of his teachers in hopes of discovering what led him to follow the same path as his late father. Hiroya also performed four songs, two of which were his father’s.
