Micky Yoochun, the male lead and the first to be cast, is enthusiastic about his role even though filming hasn't begun yet as he said, "I have analyzed the character carefully, I've had numerous readings with the writer and the director and I've been taking acting lessons. Although I'm nervous because this is my first attempt at acting, I will do my best."

He also garnered attention for giving viewers a peek into an innocent youth's heart when he pretended to have taken a group picture wrong in order to get a picture of Haru (Ueno Juri), who he is attracted to.

Fans gave various reactions such as, "It's going to be a hit!" "His beauty shines," and "I'll be able to study Japanese while learning the lines." Many also said, "It's nice to hear YoungWoong Jaejoong speak Korean since it's been a while," in reaction to when he says "What are you doing!" to his sister who causes trouble in the drama.

With characters played by stars such as YoungWoong Jaejoong, who pretends to be a doctor when he's actually a medical equipment salesman, and Ueno Juri, who pretends to be a high school teacher when she's just a teaching assistant, 'Sunao' is expected to truthfully illustrate the lives and problems of the Japanese youth. The show airs every Thursday at 10 pm (Japanese time).

[TRANS] 100416 Tohoshinki’s New Unit Worsens Relationship Between Avex And Korean Management Agencies?

Tohoshinki’s Jejung, Junsu and Yuchun announced on the 14th that they have a new exclusive contract with Avex Management, and also started activities under this new unit. Because of this, in Korea, the relationship between Avex Management and Tohoshinki’s Korean management company has shown signs of deterioration.

Avex is one of the leading Management Agencies in Japan, with many popular artistes such as Namie Amuro and Koda Kumi under them. Before Tohoshinki, they had helped BoA break into the Japanese Market, and an alliance with SM Entertainment was formed. To the Korean media, the signing of Avex’s contract with the 3 members has led to speculation that Avex may want to cut off all ties with them (SM Entertainment).

SM Entertainment denies these allegations, and according to a representative, both companies still have strategic partnerships that have remained unchanged. SM Entertainment’s BoA is still managed by Avex Management in Japan, and SM Entertainment says that they working on the promotions for Avex Management’s ICONIQUE as well.

On the other hand, there were also reports saying that Avex’s attitude is “dishonest”. The contract with the 3 members for the new unit has shown a choice of utility over SM Entertainment’s trust. Korean Media also reports that this may have something to do with the fact that Avex is currently in a business slump.

[TRANS] 100415 Tohoshinki Leaves Solid Trace In Japanese Music Industry

With the announcement of Tohoshinki's activities as a group coming to a stop, they still leave a strong trace in the Japanese music industry.

In Korea, Tohoshinki debuted in 2003 with "Hug", earning them various new artist awards. In 2005, they made their way into the Japanese market with "Stay With Me Tonight".
Since then, have released 30 singles and 4 albums, and have firmly secured their honorable position at the top as famous artistes.

On March 24, 2010, they released their 30th single "Toki Wo Tomete", which both earned them #1 on the Oricon charts, as well as their 8th time in placing #1 in the weekly charts, breaking the record for overseas singers.

In addition, Tohoshinki also released their "Best Selection 2010" album in February, and sold an extraordinary 410 000 copies in just the first week. Hence, since their debut in Japan 5 years ago, they set the record for the highest number of copies sold as overseas artistes. With the music industry sinking farther in terms of the economy, Tohoshinki's records still managed to sell over 5 million copies since their debut into the Japanese market.

Profiting from such outstanding success, on the "2009 Oricon Annual Charts", Tohoshinki reaped in a total of 6.89 billion yen (t/n: approx 75 million USD) coming after popular groups Arashi and EXILE, and placing as #3.

With such astonishing achievements, Tohoshinki really are true stars, not just in name, but also in reality.

(t/n: FYI-- Japan has the second largest entertainment industry after the United States)
