Sato Takeru to star in film adaptation of novel 'Sekai kara Neko ga Kieta nara'

For me to live,
something has to disappear.
If suddenly today,
Chocolate disappeared
The phone disappeared
Movies disappeared
The watch disappeared
The cat disappeared
And
I disappeared.

How will the world change, what will people gain, what will people lose. A 30-yr-old postman. With just a little time left. A cheerful devil gives me one more day of life in exchange for the things around me. And so begins 7 mysterious days of me, my cat and a cheerful devil. 

When you erase something, you see its worth.
When you lose something, you realise its importance.
A deeply moving, philosophy of life entertainment.

Did Oguri Shun cheat on a heavily pregnant Yamada Yu?

It was about 10 o'clock at night, a few hours after appearing on stage to promote the 'Lupin the Third' movie. In front of a bistro, Oguri Shun, appearing a little drowsy, was surrounded by about 10 women as he bowed his head, looking like he was saying his thanks. Leaving the ladies behind, he joined Kasahara Hideyuki (31), an actor from the same agency as him, and they took a taxi together. The taxi headed towards the city center and stopped at a high-end hotel. After withdrawing some money from an ATM at a konbini in the hotel, Oguri stood at the corner of the lobby, his cap low over his eyes.

After Kasahara finished checking-in, the two of them headed straight to the elevator. 30 minutes later, two women stepped out from a white sedan, entered the hotel, stepped into the elevator and stopped on the same floor as Oguri and Kasahara did.

Matsuda Shota's Xylish CMs will make you fall for him all over again

The three short movies are based on Meiji's Xylish mints slogan 'Ii kiss o shiyou'. Taken from the woman's point of view, Matsuda Shota seduces you with three types of kisses; the hardboiled kiss, the secret kiss and the one night kiss.

In Hardboiled Kiss, he holds onto your hand as you run together into a warehouse and he apologizes for bringing you into the mess. In Secret Kiss, Shota plays a younger guy who suddenly pulls you into a closet, against your feeble protests. In One Night Kiss, the two of you are sitting in a cab and he plays it cool while you tearfully confess.
