Arashi's Sho Sakurai (27) is going to appear in a special election program titled "ZERO x Senyko 2009," airing on NTV on August 30. After Arashi finishes a 10th anniversary concert at the National Olympic Stadium, Sakurai will join the show's "Part 2," which starts at 12:15am. This is his second appearance on an election program, after the House of Councillors election in July 2007.

"ZERO x Senyko 2009" will have talento Shinsuke Shimada (53) and "NEWS ZERO" caster Nobutaka Murao (53) as its main emcees for the first half (starting at 9:00pm), but Sakurai will appear in the second half (starting at 12:15am), which comes after the general results are in. Representing the youth generations, Sakurai's duty will be to explain the election results in an easily understandable way.

The show is an election special based on Sakurai's "Ichimen" corner from "NEWS ZERO," which he is a regular on. He will analyze the election results and explain the data on-screen. "This is very important election for the 'future Japan.' I'll be an intermediary between the many viewers and politics... I certainly aim to become a navigator. And after the elections, even if by myself, I want the program to make the many youths understand and feel the 'future Japan,'" he said enthusiastically.

On election day, Sakurai is performing in concert with Arashi at the National Olympic Stadium starting at 5:30pm. After the show is over, he will rush to NTV in Shiodome. From the concert, Sakurai will be accompanied by his producer, who will prepare him for the TV program by updating him on the election news. In addition, reporters from the network's politics division are giving him lectures about topics such as the significance of this election, the fundamentals of the lower house elections, and the party manifestos. He will undergo 4 of these study sessions to properly prepare for the actual show.

Shinsuke Shimada commented, "I feel happy to witness this turning point of this era. More than being a caster, I plan to be like a 'passing-by commentator.'" Murao said, "There's a big difference between this election and previous ones. That's because this is an election that will decide the political administration. You can't help but pay attention."

ヤッタ～～

I have waited for such a long time!!!
I wonder what Shochan and Taichi-san will talk about..
Probably his rapping skills, education, news casting etc.
I so want to see the old fotage of him!!! ~~KyAaAaAaAAAAaaa~~
And..who will give the "comment" about him? (Yokohama-kun maybe since they act in TQS2 together?)

Only Nino left of the Arashi members after this...

who else do I want to see..?
Nishikido RYO of course! (^__^)

1. I LOVE タッキー & 翼 (Tackey & Tsubasa) new PV - 恋詩-コイウタ(Koiuta), 
Tackey is so gorgeous!!! I melt when I see him ^__^

2. V6 new song 蝶(Chou), Spanish sounds in it..and it's not a typical V6 kind of song.. however it's great :D and they sing it very well
Love the dance in their PV, and poor Ken-kun his leg has started to hurt.. he's getting old!? O__o
And it made me look at Nagano kun a bit more.. don't know why really but he looks really good in it!? ^__^

3. 木村拓哉(Kimura Takuya)... The more I see of him the more I like him..:D :D
Eventhough he belongs to the older generation in Johnny's he still looks good and is amazing in so many ways, I wish I could see more of him though..
He's the quiet one in SMAP.. I mean.. you don't see him as much as the others.. 
 
4. Poor 櫻井翔 (Sakurai Sho) obviously he has broken his thumb O_o
He fell of stage during rehearsal...
But it's said that he will be fine in 4 weeks from now, still since their tour is going on he can't dance as much as he should.. He can't dance for his solo :'( I've read that he had got specal help from Yara Tomoyuki to get a good dance for his solo and now he can't perform it!
It's said that he fell head first (if it's true or not..hmm?!), and hurt some other parts of his body and leg too.

xauddiex posted following on arashi_on

• Matsujun apologised saying "sorry could not show you the dance by all 5 of us..."
• Shochan replied: "I am so sorry" ((How cute of him!!))
• Jun: "It was not Sakurai san's fault at all...!" ((Junkun really cares for Sho..naw))
• According to the only witness - Nino - Sho fell like a "Cannon"... ((typical of Nino to say things like that!?, wonder if its true, and wonder WHY he fell))
• Aiba apparently volunteered to help Sho out in the bath...(other members told him off saying that "you are only saying that so you can jump in a shower with Sho!" ...LMAO) ((Who wouldn't want to be in the showe with Shochan?? ^__^))
• It is the first time Sho has broken a bone - so when he got back from the hospital, he took a photo to remember it by ...of course with the Arashi members~ ((LMAO~~ ROTF!!))

I hope he gets well soon.. Shochan~ aza aza fighting!!


5. I'm getting 2 numbers of Oricon style, one with Arashi on the cover and one with V6.. I'm excited :D :D

6. I got some photos from Japan, with Tackey and Uchi.. ((official photos)) the one with Uchi looks really good.. can't wait until I go to Japan in September!!! :D :D

I did a Arashi quiz.. and it turs out.. I'm like Sho ^^

You're SHO (alias Sho-kun) SAKURAI!! You're one hip, happenin', all-around heartbreaker cutie, yo! You just got that natural "coolness" within you, chicks dig you and dudes want to BE like you! You got the style, the phat beats, the fresh rhythm, and other than that hardcoreness that you possess, you're still the cute, sweet "boy next door" everyone has known you always! But don't let your ghetto-style fool anyone--- you're the bad-ass topknotch Japanese Ivy Leaguer that would even wow the evil critics even more about yourself! Get on wit yo' bad self, yo!
