The show features the talented actress Juri Ueno(上野樹里) (27), who is starring in her first drama series in over 3 years. The heroine is a rookie doctor who lost her father at the age of 14.

Ueno's hometown is in Kakogawa, Hyogo Prefecture. She grew up as the youngest of three sisters. After his father's factory failed, the family had to to let go of the big house they were living in. Right before she was cast in her first CM when she was in her 2nd year of junior high, her mom suddenly passed away with an unidentified illness. She was 45 years young.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I've heard about her mom getting sick but she passed away soon afterward. I remember the day of the wake was very cold. The youngest child Juri-chan was also in attendance, the 3 sisters were very stouthearted..."<br />

In an interview on the show "NEWS ZERO" in 2009, "I met and talked with my agency's president in Kobe right before my mom's condition was deteriorating and losing consciousness. She was on her deathbed but she was smiling with tears in her eyes," Ueno said. Despite her mom's severe condition, she shed tears of joy upon knowing that her daughter would be in show business.<br />
<br />
Ueno's grandmother from her dad's side is currently living several blocks away from the big house where the family used to live. She would think back on the time when her mom was still alive whenever she passes by.<br />
<br />
After Ueno's mom passed away, she looked forward to the day when she could finally complete compulsory education by graduating from junior high. "I wanted to be able to support my life with my own two hands. I wanted to live on my own power," said Juri. The day after she graduated from junior high, she went to Tokyo alone.<br />
<br />
Her mother's words always held dear to her heart. In an interview earlier, "When my mother was still alive, I remember she said she would wish to see me on television if I liked acting," she revealed. In order to fulfill her mother's dying wish, Ueno tried desperately to walk on the path to become an actress.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"She was simply put into a situation where she must endure all the pain alone and she has hung in there so far. She may have come from a disadvantaged environment but you could also say that it was the environment that gave birth to her talent in acting. The adversity of overcoming the death of her mother seems to have made her mentally tough."<br />

The upcoming drama series will be the first Japanese drama on the theme of water polo. Nakajima who has been longing for a yankee role will play the protagonist Naoya Inaba(稲葉尚弥) that enters the water polo department at school by some freak coincidence. Nakajima is known to be excellent in sports but in order to challenge the fierce competition of "Martial Arts in the water", hes's been receiving intensive training with currently active water polo players before the filming of the drama in early June.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nakajima said, "With the yankee element of the story added to water polo, I feel that this is an interesting drama that no one has thought of it yet."<br />

Nakajuma's teammate will be played by young actor Kento Yamazaki(山崎賢人) (19), while fellow Hey! Say! JUMP member Yuya Takaki(高木雄也) is going to be the captain from a rival high school. All three are showing off their figures in water polo speedos for promotion of the drama.<br />

Singer Yukino(雪乃)'s single "RanTiKi" was chosen as the opening theme song for TV anime "Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman(幕末義人伝 浪漫)". Then she followed it up with a well received first full album "VOCALIZE" last year. After about a year has passed, she is readied to release a new mini-album titled "A -ace-(A -エース-)" on June 18, 2014.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The new song "A -ace-" is written by the same up and coming young writer Takashi Asano(浅野尚志) that wrote the ground breaking song "RanTiKi". With the "neo-vintage sound" created with a blend of Western style and pop, the finished product is going to fit well with Yukino's unique and lively singing voice. In addition, a live event will be held at Roppongi Morph Tokyo to commemorate the launch of the release on July 10th, 2014.<br />
<br />
The PVs for the title song have also been published onto YouTube in two versions. SEXY or CUTE? Which one would you pick?<br />

The two injured AKB members were accompanied by the manager of the AKB48 theater, Hiroshi Yuasa(湯浅洋). Initially, Kawaei appeared to be leaving the hospital in a wheelchair due to the influence of painkillers affecting her legs, but the two walked out on their own with large towels covering their injured arms.<br />
<br />
Iriyama said with a firm tone, "I want to apologized for everyone worrying over us. We will go back to Tokyo. It's all right now." Kawaei appeared wearing a mask and said, "The condition of my injury is all right. We are heading back to Tokyo."<br />

<br />
The two were both wearing hats with had somewhat of a stiff look on their faces. Due to the effect of the painkillers, Kawaei was being supported by another person when she walked out of the hospital. Their expressions were hollow and still seemed to be in shock.<br />

It has been determined that rock band winnie will be releaesing a new single "Crash and Burn" on July 16th, 2014. The upcoming release will be the band's first release in over two and a half year.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
As the title of the song "Crash and Burn" suggests, the song is filled with great rush of blazing feeling that will make you feel burned out with its high speed rock and roll. The twin vocals of iori and okuji is still well and alive after more than 2 years.<br />
<br />
The coupling track "after morning glance" has a reminiscent of Swedish pop with its gentle and soothing sound that makes a person feel relaxed and comfortable. There is a strong contrast between the two songs on the single. It seems winnie is going back to its root for this new single. The new artist photo reveals iori is mimicking Randy Rhoads with her dynamic pose and the polka dot guitar. <br />
<br />
This upcoming new single will be very difficult to obtain since it will be released in limited quantity. Please pre-order to reserve for a copy as soon as possible. In addition, the single release tour for "Crash and Burn" has already been determined to be in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.<br />

【Tomomi Kasai(河西智美)'s Comment】<br />
"I have a feeling that I am going to have the most fulfilling summer ever. As soon as my upcoming 4th single is decided, I thought I would like to announce the news to my fans as soon as possible. I am glad I will get the opportunity to perform at OTODAMA due to the connection with the group that helped me with my 3rd single. I can feel I am moving forward as a solo artist this summer since I will have my solo lives in both Tokyo and Osaka. When summer is over and autumn comes around, I think I will a very fulfilling birthday."<br />

<br /></div>
It is reported from the local media that the attendees to the wedding are prohibited from bringing cameras to the church. The security team is on high alert and they are searching everyone before they can enter the wedding reception hall.<br />
<br />
Media people from Japan and Italy are already gathered outside the church two hours in advance of the wedding and they are waiting patiently for the appearance of Utada.<br />
<br />
According to "Gazzetta" newspaper, Utada landed in Italy on May 22nd. The wedding ceremony to be held at the Santa Maria Assunta Church in Polignano a Mare at noon sharp(Local Time). Afterward, they will go to "Casa Vinicola Abbazia Di San Gaudenzio" for the wedding reception, the venue was a converted monastery in the city of Fasano, the place of birth for the groom. <br />

<br />
Utada's good friend, MIKA, a Lebanese-British singer-songwriter is schedule to attend the wedding. Utada's mom Keiko Fuji(藤圭子) passed away in August of 2013. It is said the attendance of Utada's relatives would be low so it will be mostly her close friends at the wedding. <br />
<br />
In the same newspaper, it is reported that the acquaintance of Francesco and Utada, who works as a bartender at the Bulgari Hotel & Residences in London is sharing the detail love story of the couples. The newspaper also equates Utada as the Japan version of Laura Pausini, one of the most famous female singers in Italy.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that the church in Italy does not allow non-Catholics to get married. So Utada has to convert to Catholicism before the wedding.<br />
<br />
In February of 2014, Utada made a wedding announcement on her personal site. Promptly after, Utada and her fiance Francesco left a message at official site of Utada explaining how they met each other, his being a bartender in a London hotel, and asking for privacy.<br />

The film depicts a romance story of high school students, and it is said to have many kissing scenes. At the event, Kawaguchi shyly gave a kiss to Fukushi on the cheek. Then she bowed down and said "I'm sorry I'm sorry" to all the screaming high school girls at the venue.<br />

Fukushi commented on the filming of the kissing scenes: "We kissed so many times. Probably about 6 times in one scene. I tried putting feelings into the kiss but it was hard to stay serious. The three of us(director and Kawaguchi) would always discuss whether the kiss would be good enough for the film."</div>

She unveiled that she has purchased AKB48's CD for the first time.<br />

<br />
Oshima visited the Tower Records in Shibuya contemplating on which edition of AKB48's latest single "Labrador Retriever(ラブラドール・レトリバー)" to buy. "Hmm gee... I wonder which one should I get" she said. She asked the clerk, "Which edition would contain the general election ballot?" The clerk replied back that "All" of them have it. She realized it was a bit silly for her to have asked that question.<br />
<br />
Oshima brought the Limited Edition Type K and received a picture as bonus for her purchase. "I'll vote for my favorite member too( ̄▽ ̄)" she said. However, she did not reveal who she voted for. Fans are all curious as to "who did she vote?" or "who is her favorite member?"<br />
