News round-up

Well the Golden Week holidays has begun here so I'm been enjoying those for the past couple of days. Of course during this time there's been some bits of news that have come out.

For those in the U.S., the live action Hana Yori Dango movie, which Matsumoto Jun starred in, will be getting a DVD release. Of course the dramas that came before it have yet to be picked up for release, so I'm not sure how great this news is. Other than people being able to have a legally subbed version of the movie.

It has been announced that Kamenashi will be reprising his role as Odagiri Ryu for the upcoming Gokusen movie. His character will be showing up as a trainee teacher at the school Yankumi is currently teaching at. This will be Kame's big screen debut.

Also it has been annouced that Kusanagi from SMAP, who was arrested last week, will not have an indictment pressed against him for his drunken naked antics. The resoning came from that his arrest was not because he was drunk and naked, as that usually is not an arrestable offense, but because he did not put his clothes back on when the police asked him to.

With this news it is expected that he will be returning to work as soon as Johnny's can get things sorted out for him. So far it's known that the movie he had finished shooting for will be able to go ahead and get released on schedule later this year.
