What the fred?!

Today Uchi participated int he press-conference for a new play “Doctor Blue”. At one point, he was asked if he heard about Kato-sensei’s nomination. He said: “To be honest, I want to honestly tell him “Congratulations!”” He further said “Can I be earnest? I’ve been so focused on this [play] I haven’t really watched the news. But when I heard the story, I felt wonderful, I felt happy. I am very happy and from the bottom of my heard I thought ‘Congratulations!’ Right now we’re walking different paths but he has his talent. I wish him to go on with it. We are both trying our best so it would be good if we supported each other.”

G-O-D right here! 😂 Aww Yamapi… I can’t help but be reminded of Kusano Akira with the way he’s acting 😆 Can we just pretend that this is a sequel to Nobuta Wo Produce? *haha* It’s just sad that Horikita Maki is no longer acting. It would have been icing on the cake if all three of them starred in a drama again… But still super excited to see this!! I missed Kamenashi so much!

the baby alpaca was only a week old

this is from a farm in wisconsin

what happened is: she was taking a dust bath and fell into a badger hole

what caught the farmer’s attention was the entire herd of alpacas surrounding the hole, which is about a mile out in the field

the poor girl was in the hole for hours and was entirely underground when they found her

Uchi Hiroki in「マイ プレイリスト Love for Japan～kizashi～」

Theme: “Looking back to Uchi Hiroki’s twenties”

“Good evening, I’m Uchi Hiroki! Let me introduce myself: I belong to the Johnny’s Jimusho, I’m a bachelor of 29 years! As I said before, I’ll be 30 this year, but in my 20s various things happened and now I’m going to look back at them. (…)

♪ CHERISH - NEWS ♪ 

(…) Before I was 20, when I was around 19 years old, I debuted firstly with NEWS, then with Kanjani8. It’s the first time I talk with my mouth about this. To the members of that time I’ve been able to deeply regret and sincerely apologise.

I think that fans who are listening in this moment have never heard these words before, so I chose this song to convey my apologies.

When in those days I moved from Osaka to Tokyo, there were various conflicts.  Initially Kanjani8 have been formed, then I was suddenly called to Tokyo and I was told from the president that I was chosen for NEWS. I said “what the hell!”. It was a period when I had the feeling all was messy. (…)

To me, this was the last song of my period with NEWS. So, it is the last song full of memories. That was “Cherish”, the first of my song selection.(…)

Inside myself I deeply reflected. I reflected, but people didn’t know it, right? Even if there were a lot of fans also of other groups there for me, I made my decision. Well… I caused a lot of trouble to both NEWS and Kanjani8. I just wanted to leave the agency, to quit.”

Sorry for the rough translation!! In this recent radio program Uchi talked about various things (I translated only some parts), and I ended up to be moved by his words :’)
