We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback. This is where we look back on what topped Oricon this week 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.
Several weeks ago, the reunion of Kamenashi Kazuya and Yamashita Tomohisa 12 years after the popular series “Nobuta Wo Produce” hits news and got fans excited. Less than a month before the new drama series “Boku, Unmei no Hito Desu” (I’m Your Destiny) airs, the first visuals and teasers are out! Kimura Fumino plays the heroine in this romantic comedy drama that gets relentlessly chased by Makoto (Kamenashi) after much prompt from a mysterious guy who claims to be “god” (Yamashita).
Check out the main cast in their new characters and new hair in the latest previews! Yamapi hasn’t appeared yet on promo VTRs with Kamenashi and Kimura, but as the airing date nears, you can expect more promotional appearances from the cast. On April 15, prior to the drama broadcast, Arashi ni Shiyagare will air a 3 hour SP. Matsumoto Jun’s “THIS IS MJ” corner will feature an MJ vs Yamashita and Kamenashi segment.
Stay tuned as well for the drama theme song to be sung by “Kame to Yamapi”. “Boku, Unmei no Hito Desu” will start airing April 15 (Saturday, 10pm) at NTV with a 14 min extended broadcast.
