JE news round up

After almost an entire year since their last single Kinki Kids is releasing a new single. It's called Secret Code and the title track is the theme song for Tsuyoshi's Summer drama, 33pun Tantei. This is their 27th single and I'm sure JE is going to make sure like all their singles this debuts at #1 so they can keep their Guinness Book of World Records of most singles that debuted at #1 consecutively since their debut.

Every week Oricon, the Japanese cd sales chart, does a poll of 400 of it's subscribers for interest in the releases of the upcoming week. While the numbers don't reflect actual sales it tends to be mostly accurate for how things will rank. This is what the NINKI numbers are, so if you see them around remember they are not sale predictions in any way, which is a common misconception people have about NINKI. The NINKI numbers are out for next week and Hey! Say! JUMP is on top with 181.7 out of 400. Their closest competition is Aiko whose NINKI numbers are 91.1 out of 400, so it looks like they'll easily get the weekly #1 next week.

There's also a rumor going around that Okamoto Keito will be in a drama this Fall. There doesn't seem to be any thing to confirm this and it's a bit early for announcements for next seasons dramas, though not too early to begin hearing rumors for them so it'll probably be a while before this rumor to be proved true or false.
