Looks like Jun isn't going to be the only Arashi member with a spring drama. It's been announced that Sakurai Sho will be starring in a drama, titled The Quiz Show. Yokoyama Yu will be co-starring. (I wonder if this Arashi/K8 drama team up is going to become a trend.)
Reading the plot discription I'm reminded of a quiz show that the American TV network, Fox, aired that was a bit similiar. The contestants were attached to a lie detector and then had to answer very personal questions. I only ever saw the commercials but I thought it was in rather poor taste. But as a drama this could be interesting depending on how they justify making the contestants confess to their crimes/indescretions.
I'm rather on the fence on whether or not to give this series a try. I guess I'll just wait to hear what other people think about it first.

In other news, it seems like Johnny's is worried about KAT-TUN's latest single getting the weekly number 1 as its sales have dropped it to the number 2 position with the current number 2 single for the week looking like it could catch up to and perhaps surpass KAT-TUN by the end of the week. So to help promote the cd Johnny's is now giving out free KAT-TUN posters for those who buy the single for as long as supplies last.
It's a bit sad to see that KAT-TUN has to rely on a gimmick like that to ensure getting the weekly number 1 spot. I guess it's just another sign that their popularity is dwindling and if things continue they may lose their spot as the second biggest seller for Johnny's as well.
