another update this time with translation ^^

Announcement for the new cast, is none-other than the man popular amongst youngsters, Akanishi Jin. Challenging this work as his Hollywood debut, he acts the role of "Ooishi Chikara". Being the son of Ooishi Kuranosuke (Sanada Hiroyuki), and also an ally of Kai (character of Keanu Reeves), he challenges a very important role.

Auditioning by himself in Hollywood, Akanishi got the role of "Chikara" with his English forte. Training for sword fighting and horse riding, Akanishi overlays this role with his passionate image, even the Director Carl Rinsch praises "No one can take the role as good as him."

Jin's comment in Nikkan Sports, translation by stanime:

"The work of such an important theme to Japanese people to be brought to Hollywood's big screen, not to mention in 3D, I'm extremely excited. Being able to act together with Keanu and all the amazing casts, and creating a world-wide film with everyone, it gave me the feeling of fulfillment.

From now on I will examine in my own senses, being able to participate in both music and acting borderlessly world-wide, and extend my limits as I go."

Jin to Debut in Hollywood. Staring in 47 Ronin ^^

RYUU HERE WITH BIG NEWS

JIN IS TO DEBUT IN THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE 47 RONIN~!

cr weibo. kameola (i think that's what the watermark says)

(though i'm not too big of a fan of Hollywood movies these days to be honest)

BUT I"M STILL EXCITED~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who else is super excited for what they're gonna make Jin do... though havingHollywood know who Jin is now... i'm kinda sad, but it is his dream and we all want people to achieve their dreams. Nothing has been said on his twitter account so any word from Jin i don't know (but he did say he is working on something... not just his album)

maybe now we'll see a bigger progression of Jin in the media (hoping this will make buying his stuff easier) but as a picky fan like myself i have to say i wish he'd do some more rock ish songs like before. He has a great voice for it too~

but just with this i'm happy!!! and since Keano Reeves is in it (spelling his name right i don't know :P) this WILL make it to the bigscreen i'm sure, not like Bandage which was more like a movie in the indie film category (well in the west it is).

i can't wait!!!!

O_O woah had to reread this post cos there were so many grammar mistakes.... more than i usually make XC oops

　Ｈｅｙ！Ｓａｙ！ＪＵＭＰが今夏に初めてアルバムを発売することが４日、発表された。この日、全国ツアー横浜アリーナ公演を開催し、メンバーが舞台上で発表した。ＪＵＭＰは０７年１１月にＣＤデビュー。シングルは５枚発売したが、アルバム発売はなかった。大喜びするファンに対し、薮宏太（２０）は「歓声に鳥肌が立っちゃいました」と興奮気味だった。

　７月１９日からはＪＵＭＰを中心に、ほかジャニーズＪｒ．約２００人が出演するエンターテインメントショー「サマリー」（東京ドームシティ　ＪＣＢホール）がスタートする。高木雄也（２０）は「いつもとは違うキャラクターを見せたい」と意気込んだものの、メンバーから「夏だから暑いし、ふんどしになっちゃえば？」と突っ込まれると、「あるかも…しれないですね」としどろもどろだった。

　横浜アリーナ公演は２日から今日５日までの４日間６公演で９万人を動員。同所公演を含めた全国ツアーは、計１４公演で２１万３０００人を動員予定。
