Actor Nagase Masatoshi (37) appeared at a Shinjuku theater for the opening of his latest movie "Loved Gun", but the media were more interested in developments with his private life. Nagase seemed a bit at a loss for words when facing the standing-room only audience. He divorced actress Koizumi Kyoko (38) in February and was later connected with singer Nakashima Mika (21). • Yomiuri TV announcer Miura Takashi (35) is engaged to marry television production company employee Murakawa Takako (34) at the end of this month. Miura was previously married for two years until the end of 2001.

"He's only 167 centimeters tall. All the actresses who've appeared with him know what a pipsqueak he really is." - a quote from showbiz reporter Honda Kei, saying SMAP heartthrob singer Takuya Kimura always wears elevator shoes. (Shukan Shincho/Mainichi)

Hmm, another round of explanation is probably needed for this one. I've seen SMAP's concert videos and my friends have been to these concerts, and I can tell you that he's much taller than 167 cm. There's this time that he's only wearing slippers (not even elevator shoes, mind you), and he stood just slightly shorter than Shingo-kun who's 1.83 m tall, and is definitely almost the same height as Goro-chan who's 176 cm, and he wasn't exactly standing straight! So there!

Fuji TV announcer Masai Maya (28) was recently spotted on a date with popular model Maekawa Yasuyuki (30) by women's magazine Josei Jishin. Masai was in the news last year for getting involved with a fellow announcer while engaged to a producer at the same channel. Fuji has probably been the most successful channel at using its female announcers as sales points, building them up like pop stars or actresses. • Meanwhile, young actress Ikewake Chizuru (22) was recently spotted with new boyfriend, actor Arai Hirofumi (25), by the weekly gossip magazine Flash. Both have admitted their relationship but deny rumors that they are living together. • A single recorded by Amuro Namie (26) is to be used as the theme song for a TV drama, the first in six years. Fuji TV's romance "Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni" (Before You Become a Memory) will use the song "All For You", Amuro's 27th single scheduled to go on sale July 22. The series will star Mizuki Arisa (27) and the recently married Shiina Kippei (39).

Popular veteran actress and singer Asaoka Ruriko (63) has been romantically linked with stage actor Matsui Makoto (44). It's probably no coincidence that the story broke at the same time that a new single, a duet between the pair, was announced. According to women's magazine Josei Jishin, Matsui was a fan of Asaoka and the relationship escalated from there. Both are divorcees, Asaoka having split from actor Ishizaka Koji in 2000 after 29 years of marriage. • Matsumoto Tak (43) guitarist of Japan's top rock unit B'z has been named as the man to do the music for next year's Ultraman movie. A fan of the superhero since childhood, Matsumoto said he was "truly honored" to have been chosen. • Super idol Matsuura Aya (17) will provide the theme song for the upcoming Nippon TV drama series "Aijo Ippon", in which she will also star. The single is "Your Song - Seishun Sensei". In what will be Ayaya's first leading role, she will play the daughter of a judoist, to coincide with the Summer Olympics.

Kinashi Noritake (photo left, 42) of the comedy duo Tunnels is to put on his first ever one-man stage show in Tokyo this weekend. "Noritake Guide" will feature comedy, drama, singing and dancing. With a 20-plus-year career behind him, Kinashi is considered something of an all-round entertainer and, along with sidekick Ishibashi Takaaki (42), is one of the biggest earners in Japanese showbusiness. "This show is a chance for me to do all those things I've always wanted to do," he said, adding "I'll even appear naked!" Tickets for the show have already sold out.

Cool! I love Nori-chan, I think he's funnier then Takaaki! :applaud:

I don't know that I'd want to see him naked though, that's a scary visual! :hehe:
