Takei Emi sex tape?

Rising actress Takei Emi seems unstoppable with her string of hits. However, it seems that her past might be catching up to the young actress. Her friends back home have been leaking pictures of the actress as a yankee and claiming that they have explicit photos and movies of the actress in their possession. However, it seems that her agency bought those questionable contents for millions of yen in order to avoid a scandal.

Her friends back home have been posting pictures of the actress before she was famous, claiming that they were when she was a yankee. It showed her squatting down and posing with a V-sign. Such photos certainly marred her pure and innocent image.

“She was pretty wild back in middle school, and dated many guys. She was pretty open about sex too. And according to those involved, she even agreed to having sex acts taped. Once word of that leaked, her agency immediately sent someone over to buy the movies, for hundreds of millions of yen.”

The movie in question, showed the actress topless and possibly taken either right before or right after she had sex. 

“She belongs to an all-female agency. So of course drinking and smoking are considered taboo. They would certainly do something if anything leaks that would threaten her current image. Which is why the agency bought her tapes for such a high price.”

Can’t a couple just scuba-dive in peace?

“On April 28th, Oguri Shun and Murakami Shingo (Kanjani8) were seen scuba diving near Ishigaki-jima in Okinawa. They seemed to have just arrived that day, and Yamada Yu was also there diving. Maybe she was afraid Shun will cheat on her if she let him go alone.” Said a tourist.

They have been married for almost two months now, and Oguri Shun was seen having fun with Murakami Shingo, but Yamada Yu was also there…

“Oguri-san and Yu-san weren’t really seen together. I can’t tell if all three of them were there together or if Oguri was there for Murakami.”

Perhaps Yamada is trying to train Oguri because he has a history of cheating? And it seems Oguri has grown up a lot since getting married.

“Before, he’d go drinking after work, and drink a lot at that. But now, after his day ends, he goes straight home. When he goes home late, he always calls her to tell her.” Said an insider.

But it seems Yamada can’t get over the trauma of Oguri’s past indiscretions.

“This trip was supposed to be a boys-only trip. Oguri is busy filming for movies, and he has a drama coming up in July so he can’t really get many days off. That was his vacation, but Yu-chan said she also wanted to go with him. Oguri wanted to go alone, but it would be suspicious if he refused.” Said a movie insider.

Oguri also visited Ishigaki-jima back in 08. At the time, he was seen going into a cabaret club. So maybe that’s why Yamada didn’t want to let him go along. It was a 2 nights, 3 days trip but people did not see her a lot during those days.

Oguri, Yu-chan, Toma, and Jun were all spotted at the Mr.Children’s concert last night.

Old man Johnny spotted in a wheelchair

President of J&A, Johnny Kitagawa, is recently seen in a wheelchair prompting questions about the titan’s health.

“Johnny Kitagawa has been seen in a wheelchair for the past month now. People are worried that he’s either sick or recovering from an injury.” Said an entertainment insider. 

Johnny Kitagawa is currently 81years old, and he is a well-known for being a hands-on producer when it comes to his pet projects. With the recent sightings of him in a wheel chair, people are worried that it might be the beginning of the end for the mogul. 

“Johnny isn’t only a producer. He is hands on, from checking the set to the performances. He also takes part in planning PR. Of course, sometimes he also goes to meetings when it comes to projects he has touched. But this is the first time ever people have seen him showing up in a wheelchair.”

However, no news have leaked that the producer is in bad health. People have even spotted him at a performance of last Dec.’s “Dance of Vampire.” 

According to an audience member, “After the musical ended, he left like a regular person from the lobby. I thought he was always surrounded by his favorite Johnny’s, but I’m shocked to see him leaving alone. He went outside and stopped a taxi, not paying attention to anyone around him, and left.”

The cast of Dance of Vampire include Yamaguchi Yuichiro, Urai Kenji, Chinen Rina, and Johnny’s talents, but none of them seem to have much to do with Johnny. People have said that Johnny was probably trying to get inspiration for other musicals he has a hand in producing, from ENDLESS SHOCK to Takizawa Kakumei.

“And this Nov., Johnny’s World, the biggest musical produced by the man, is scheduled to start Teikoku Theatre. Right now Johnny is busy planning the production.”

As one of the most prolific producers in Japan, no wonder people are curious about his health. Currently, no one is sure who is going to take over the empire once Mary and Johnny decide to retire.

Well, well, well.

It’s been 5 years since Sawajiri Erika starred in a movie. With her recent announcement of halting activities due to health reasons, one must wonder what will happen to her comeback vehicle, Helter Skelter.

According to Shuukan Bunshun, the cited “health” reason might be even more serious than first reported.

The magazine was able to obtain a document addressed to Takashiro Erika, which is Erika’s real name at the moment since her divorce with Takashiro Tsuyoshi has not yet been finalized.

The sender is Lawyer A, a representative of Sawajiri’s old agency, Stardust Production. The date was 2009, Sept 29th. On it, it cited the reason for her firing. This document unearthed some ugly truths the entertainment industry has been trying to bury.

According to the document, on 2009, Sept 10th, Sawajiri accepted a request for a drug test and showed a positive result for the substance THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Sawajiri stated that she cannot stop using the drug after the test came back and that broke Article 9 of her contract.

This document shows that she had marijuana intoxication. Shuukan was also able to obtain proof that the document was sent by Lawyer A’s law firm by comparing it with older official documents released by the firm.

However, this matter has never been talked about by Sawajiri herself. Shunkan even went to Spain to interview the cannabis instructor that Sawajiri reportedly hung out with a lot during her stays there.

The instructor claimed that she always smoked marijuana everytime they met. He is also married. More will be reveal on May 31’s issue of Shuukan.

I feel like she’s Japan’s version of Lilo. I keep hoping for a comeback but she keeps getting herself into unnecessary trouble.

Horikita Maki sex-tape

Horikita Maki is known for her pure, virginal image, but there are rumors that a supernova-grade scandal is about to be exposed that would destroy her innocent image. Allegedly, a man she used to date have been saying that a sex tape is about to be leaked featuring the actress.

“Of course this is going to be bad, A-san, who is about to be released from jail, used to dote on our Marina.” 

A bike shop worker who knows this outlaw can’t help but hide his excitement when he made that proclamation. Marina is a name derived from the actress’s name, Maki. This bike shop worker claims that he has known Horikia since she was in her teens.

“A-san loved Marina, but because of a certain event, he was imprisoned. In between that time, Maki became an extremely popular actress. She stopped communicating with him. A-san is really mad about her ignoring his existence so he is preparing a series of claims to be dropped on her.”

It’s a rumor, but that bomb might be the sex tape. As an actress with hardly any rumors, her agency is currently focusing on pushing her more into the limelight now that her friend Kuroki Meisa is preoccupied with a shotgun marriage.

Meisa and Jin in debt-induced hell?

Actress Kuroki Meisa and idol Akanishi Jin are currently awaiting the birth of their child. It seems that reality is quite cruel to the unconventional couple, and they are said to be in heavy debt.

“In order to pay the penalty for his canceled tour, Jin borrowed more than a couple hundred million yen. And it seems only Meisa is able to pay back that debt. The only way she can do it is by going nude and doing sex scenes to pay it back with her body.” Said an entertainment management insider.

Johnny’s is known to be a very strict agency amongst the industry and it seems they’ve completely given up on Jin. First his tour was canceled, and his role in the GTO remake is also rescinded. The fees incurred for canceling his tour, which included venue cancellation fees, staff fees, and contract fees, all added up to around 450 million yen. On top of this, because he is withdrawing from GTO, there is an added “trouble-causing” fee that is around 100million yen that he also has to pay. 

At this point, people are just waiting for his retirement announcement. “There is no way he can pay such a hefty fee with an expecting child on the way. Johnny Kitagawa has been lenient towards Jin despite all the troubles that he has caused the agency, but not notifying the agency of his marriage was the last straw and Johnny is extremely angry at his conduct. It was said that Johnny got so angry that he threw a spoon when he heard the news. It wouldn’t be surprising if Jin is let go from J&A once 47 Ronin is released next February…”

Meisa’s career is also in danger because of this. “Right now, she has contracts with 6 companies, but they probably won’t renew her once those contracts are up. And once Jin is chased out of J&A, no TV stations would want to use her in their shows either.” 

At the end, the only thing left for her in the entertainment industry would be nude scenes and sex scenes. She’s probably have to go nude in order to help her husband pay back his debt. “She can probably still put out photobooks and star in movies because J&A has less control over those companies. The companies think that if Meisa goes nude, it’d be a big hit, so they’ll push her towards that direction. Kind of like her drama Jiu, but this time they’ll probably ask her to show more. At the very end, she’ll probably end up doing soft-core porn.”

Both are known to carefree personalities, and with this new rumor about their money troubles, people are already talking about their divorce. These was even a rumor about people offering Meisa to appear nude while pregnant. One must really wonder how long she’ll hold on.

A panel of disgruntled ex-employees talk about their experiences in AKB48

There is not one day that goes by without AKB48 being on tv these days. This week’s Shukan Bunshun had 4 ex-AKB members as a panel to talk about their experience as part of the extremely popular girl group.

According to the article, when they first formed, girls had to clean the toilets of their theatre in Akihabara. Once they got popular though, the story changed, “The girls would say that the lunches from the convenience store are too greasy and would not eat them. Back when we first started, we had to share those bentos.” But now, they have lots of rules, like they can’t eat anything Maeda Atsuko had put her hands on.

They even talked about the discrepancies within the group. An ex-research student said that popular members had their luxury apartments’ rent paid for, while she had to take a 2hr train ride just to go to work everyday and she had no salary. An ex-regular member said that she only got 50,000yen a month as salary.

They also rotate costumes within the group, and they’d stink from sweat because of the strong stage lights so their changing rooms always smelled bad. “It was hard putting on costumes when the person before you had strong armpit sweat.”

The most interesting topic was how Itano Tomomi was able to go to the beach with a bunch of guy friends and Oshima Yuko told on her to Akimoto Yasushi later on. Itano got scolded of course. And Tomochin is not the only girl in the group who has a strong interest in the opposite sex, Oshimya, Kashiwagi, Sashihara, and Kojiharu are all carnivorous women. Even though members of AKB are banned from being in relationships, it is clearly not the case for the popular girls.

“If you’re a research student or you ranked low on the popularity chart and they find out you have a boyfriend, you’re automatically kicked out of the group. However, they turn a blind eye when you’re part of the media senbatsu.”

However, there was a girl who was in the senbatsu but was forced to graduate because she frequently stayed out partying too late. “She was underage and would drink at clubs along with stay at guys’ homes. She’d show up the next day in the same clothes and the same hair.” They did say the name of the girl, but people have said that was Ono Erena.

Some ex-members have said that there might even be a tell-all book one day from one of the ex-members. “The group is over. There was a girl who was forced to graduate and went back to her hometown to become a cabaret girl. I was thinking about doing the same. Since people might remember my face, it would just be like one of those handshake events they had us do when we were members and we had to pretend to like the person.”

In the article, it even talked about Minegishi talking about the fans that were waiting for her outside. “It’s okay, those people like to wait anyway.” When Shinoda Mariko got gifts from fans, she allegedly threw them into two cardboard boxes and gave those gifts away because she didn’t want them. On top of this, the ex-members also talked about how many of the girls had plastic surgery within AKB. Within the ex-members, many had to turn to mizushobai after they were fired from the group.

I have no idea how to translate mizushobai, so let’s call it prostitution lite

More group dates rumors.

Actor Oguri Shun married his long time model girlfriend Yamada Yu on March 14th but even as a married man, there are rumors of Shun already being unfaithful to his new wife. Oguri himself had said that he has Tiger Woods Syndrome and there have been reports of him going to group dates multiple times. It seems that he still wasn’t able to change his ways all the way up until he registered for his marriage.

Someone at the party made that pretty clear with the below story.

“A couple days before his marriage, there was a group date that served as his farewell party to group dates. People who attended were Matsumoto Jun, Nishikido Ryo, Ikuta Toma, Yamashita Tomohisa, Shirota Yu, and Tanaka Koki. These were all people Oguri is good friends with.”

They went to a members-only bar in Tokyo. It is a bar own by a famous person, and many entertainers gather there regularly.

“After they toasted, Matsumoto acted like he felt sorry for Oguri. Oguri joked sadly that he feels marriage is a restriction.”

And right after he said that, his phone rang and it turned out to be Yamada calling. At first Oguri ignored the call, but he eventually answered.

“He told the girls present to be quiet when he answered the phone and told Yu-chan that it was a men’s only gathering.”

Even though he was the main focus of the party, he had to leave his seat many times to answer phone calls from his girlfriend because she kept calling.

“The other members ordered tequila shots and had a lot of fun. But Oguri was pre-occupied with placating his girlfriend that night so he couldn’t really get into the mood.”

That night, perhaps it was because of Yamada’s phone calls, Oguri left the party alone. A much different state than his usual tactic of taking a girl to a love hotel. Maybe it’s a sign that Oguri is whipped.

“He’s afraid of people recognizing him so he has avoided places like Nishi-Asabu and Roppongi. He would go all the way to Koiwa for fun. When a girl asked him if he has any confidence in staying faithful, he laughed and said, ‘NOPE!’”

Yamada has said that if she discovers him cheating again, she’s going to choke him until he can’t go to work anymore. But people have said that he has shown a change since his marriage. It’ll be interesting to see if he can break the habit of going to group dates.
