Apparently Matsuoka and Ohkura are going to have a chance to act in the same drama again. It has been announced that the Hissatsu Shigotonin 2007 special will be made into a weekly drama for next year. Matsuoka and Ohkura had parts in the 2007 SP and will be reprising them for the drama, which looks to be a remake of the original Hissatsu Shigotonin drama that ran from May 1979 to January 1981. It will be simple titled Hissatsu Shigotonin 2009 and is scheduled to begin January 2009. I've never watched a period drama before but I wouldn't mind trying one out as Matsuoka stole my heart in Yasuko to Kenji. Here is the official Asahi webpage for the drama.
I'm pretty much convinced that Johnny's does have something planned for Kanjani8 soon, as not only do they have that Music Station appearance coming up but Johnny's net has updated the TV filming schedule and they are also scheduled to appear on Domoto Kyoudai. Domoto Kyoudai only have Johnny's guest every once in a while so I can't imagine there not being something tied to Kanjani8's appearance on the show as it's also not the kind of thing people do just because. The filming is set for 14OCT so in the next couple of weeks I wouldn't be surprised to hear an announcement of some kind for something new for Kanjani8.
And one last bit of news of note is that after the first week sales of their new album SMAP has crossed the 10 million mark for album sales. They are only the second vocal group to do this, the first was in Chage & Aska back in 1993. Tokyograph report. So congrats to them.
