Matsumoto Jun, Eita & Oizumi Yo to star in next Fuji TV Monday drama



Earlier oday, Fuji TV revealed the first details about their Monday-9pm (‘Getsu 9′) drama for the winter season that will begin airing in January.
This season we get to enjoy a great female cast in a drama all about love and problems of women with “Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Ryuu“. Next season we can look forward to a real action drama called “Lucky Seven“, starring Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun, Eita, and Oizumi Yo as the members of a detective agency.
The story focuses on the seven members, three men and four women, that operate a small detective agency in Kitashinagawa, Tokyo. Teamwork is definitely going to be a strong theme of the drama, but it will be the original and thrilling cases that are going to keep the viewers at the edge of their seats.
Moreover, the viewers can look forward to some great action scenes, as Fuji TV was able to have “GANTZ” director Sato Shinsuke on board for the production. Aside from other activities, he will be in charge of all the action scenes. It’s said that it’s going to be the most thrilling drama Fuji TV has ever aired in their Monday time slot. Thus far, this time slot has been known more for its intense love stories rather than thrilling action dramas.
Matsumoto is going to portray the newest addition to the team, a real novice detective, who is completely absorbed in everything the job has to offer. Meanwhile, Eita is going to slip into the role of a really cool and calm guy, who regularly ends up in a confrontation with the new member due to their opposite personalities. Oizumi, as the senior of the two, will act as the self-proclaimed “middle man” and try to get them back on the same page whenever it’s necessary. Aside from that, he actually turns out to be quite a puzzling guy himself.

For Matsumoto, it has been a year and a half since his last Monday starring role in the drama, “Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku“. He stated with confidence, “I think it’s going to become an intense drama, featuring seven completely different individuals. It will keep you excited and also make you laugh. I’m already all excited to have some great time with this team.
Eita commented, “It looks like there are going to be a lot of action scenes together with Matsumoto. I want to sync with him to the best of my abilities.
Oizumi seems to be quite eager as well, but he still is calm enough to joke around. He said, “The tension is incredible. It’s a getsu 9 drama after all! Please look forward to the love-triangle between Matsumoto, Eita, and me. (laughs)
Lastly, Matsumoto added, “We want to show some great teamwork that will make all viewers want to join this team!
The female members of the team have yet to be revealed.

The 28 Years Old Matsumoto Jun

I really love his casual looks, he is like a boy next door with this outfit

Jun is 28 years old now, every time I get closer to my birthday, I will also remember his birthday since my birthday is two days before his. These past two years I haven't check out what he has done. Even I don't bother to watch his latest drama. Which actually weird, since I used to watch over and over again all his dramas and  movies.


Internet makes fans get closer to their idol, and there, Jun was one of the celebrities who opens his door for his fans. He wants all his fans know who he is as a normal life. But somehow he forgets, some fans really can't accept him as a normal Matsumoto Jun. No matter; what he is Arashi's Jun Matsumoto.

His solemn looks is the first thing that makes me attract to him

Back there it's not easy to maintain a normal relationship with  female fans, the jealousy between them, they fight among each other and think they are the closest to him. It's hard especially when jun himself has his own problem.

Don't be sad, Jun,,,I am here (kekkkkkkeek)

I don't know how Jun's changed  nowadays. I hope for the better, although I hope some stuffs still like before. Jun may be the youngest of Arashi but he is the most filial member. Arashi members are not only his band mates,  they are like brother for him. I remember when Sakurai Sho has problem, Jun takes his problem like his own and he tries his best to help him out of his problem.
He is really beautiful in this pose...

Jun, he admits or no, he is a perfectionist. He will check everything carefully before the show, he will put his head  a lot on a character he will act. He reads a lot and .... he adores Micahel Jackson (RIP) a lot...he.he.he..that's out of line.

What can I say I hope I am one of those strawberries (drool)

It's too late to say "Happy Birthday" but I hope Jun will get older beautifully, wisely and enjoy life more. I hope he will continue to dream like he used to do. Cause I believe life is beautiful if we continue to dream. Zai you, Jun  !
This is one of my favourite solemn looks of his
