Takada Sho has been chosen to star in a drama SP titled, Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi (True Scary Stories). He will be sharing his starring position with three other actors as the SP will be in four segments. The SP will air on Fuji TV on August 26th. You can read the Tokyograph article, which is in English, here.
I'm happy for Takada. I'm still a bit indifferent to him on Hyakushiki-Ou, but it finally seems like with the other younger boys on the show he's opening up more on camera, an essential trait for any idol to have, IMHO. Johnny's keeping him busy of course is a good sign that they must see some potential in him, and since he's only 14 he has more than enough time to work on what he needs to work on hopefully for a debut someday down the road.
And in other news, that may not really be JE related but they were the first thing I thought of when I saw the article on the BBC news page. The article talks about that a sequel to Kung-Fu Panda is in the pipeline for production, I'm really not surprised at the news at all as almost every successful children's movie gets a sequel nowadays. Of course for the original movie in Japan it had a couple of JE ties, with Yamaguchi from Tokio doing the voice of the lead character. I hope he reprises his role, if just for the selfish reason that it irks me when voice actors change. And of course Hey! Say! JUMP had the tie-in to the movie with Your Seed used as its theme song. In a way I hope they do the theme song for the sequel as well, though it'll be at least a couple years before it comes out.
