Reflecting
Takuya Kimura, Tomoya Nagase's single first time being Number One
Currently
in Johnny's big family, definitely the most popular is Takuya Kimura's 5 person
group SMAP. Next in line is Tsuyoshi Doumoto and Koichi Doumoto's Kinki Kids.
Both are very popular and profitable. "Johnny's Junior" because
of Takizawa Hideaki became popular, but Tokio and V6, both groups, always
stay at a "medium" position. Actually, Tokio is a senior-level group,
the main vocalist Tomoya Nagase has always been referred as "Takuya Kimura's
Successor." However, he is getting taller and taller. Tomoya Nagase's
long facial characteristics and personal style is getting more and more different
from Takuya Kimura. Because of this, the "successor" title has no
longer been mentioned.
Tokio
has already been formed for 7 years. When Tomoya Nagase acted in the April-May
FujiTV drama," Mukodono", Tomoya's character "Yuichiro Sakuraba"
lead 500,000 copies of Tokio's single "Message" to be sold when
it first came out and became number one in Japan's national singles rankings.
The
most amazing is that at the same time, only Miho Nakayama's TBS drama "Love
Story" has the best reaction. All 10 chapters stayed at a 20% rating.
Following is Inamori Izumi's NTV drama "Tomorrow's Direction", which
had the highest ratings at one point. The rest of the dramas didn't have very
good dramas. Twenty-two year old Tomoya Nagase starring in "Mukodono"
seems to be reflecting senior Takuya Kimura's marriage to Kudo Shizuka. Although
Mukodono's ratings weren't the best, but Tomoya's acting is very successful.
It was so successful that he has a photobook called "Yuichiro Sakuraba's
Photo Book." Also, the single's cover has "Sung by Yuichiro Sakuraba"
written on it. As a result, both had very good results.
Currently,
when Tomoya appears in "Hey Hey Hey!" and various other television
shows, a lot of people called him Sakuraba. This goes so far as to have people
joke that "Yuichiro Sakuraba always is misunderstood for Tomoya Nagase."
His character subsititute for himself. At the beginning, he is not successful
to be named as Takuya's successor, but surprisingly, through acting a character
that reflects Takuya, he became more and more popular.
PuDDiNG's
Note:: The caption of the third picture is incorrect. Tomoya's rumoured
girlfriend is Reina from Max, not Nana. Personally, I don't like how the author
of this article writes -- he/she seems to be a Takuya fan. I think that Tomoya
Nagase is popular through himself, and not through Takuya Kimura or a reflection
of Takuya Kimura. I've never heard of Yuichiro Sakuraba being referred to
as another Kimura......I hope Tomoya and TOKIO gets more and more popular~
good luck to them ~~*
