News from the east

Hiro Mizushima, Ayaka married since February





Popular actor Hiro Mizushima (24) and singer-songwriter Ayaka (21) surprised the entertainment industry on Friday when they held a press conference announcing that they recently married. In addition, it was revealed that Ayaka will be putting her music career on hold.

The two apparently first met three years ago, but it wasn't until a magazine interview last spring that their relationship began to develop. The pair started seriously dating in August. They decided to register their marriage on February 22.

Mizushima explained, "She is indispensable to me. I thought, if I let go of her, I'll regret it my entire life." Ayaka commented, "My first impression of him was that he had really powerful eyes, and he could completely see through me. Right now, he is someone I respect from the bottom of my heart."

It was also learned that immediately after Ayaka's debut in 2006, she became ill with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder. Ayaka tearfully reported that her symptoms have been increasing. As a result, Ayaka will continue with her music until the end of this year, after which she will put her career on hold. Mizushima promised to protect and support her.

Yep, they've been married since February but the news just came out recently



ONE OK ROCK member arrested for groping




American-born fashion model and musician Alexander Onizawa (21) was arrested on Sunday morning for groping. Onizawa is also known as ALEX, the guitarist of rock band ONE OK ROCK.

According to police, Onizawa was riding a train in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. At around 8am, he touched the leg of a female prep school student (21). Onizawa, who had reportedly been drinking, admitted to the charges.

ONE OK ROCK had planned to release their new single, "Around the World Shonen," on May 6, but the release has now been suspended. The song was also supposed to be the theme music of the TBS drama series "God Hand Teru" (starting April 11), but the song will now be replaced. The band also has canceled their nationwide tour that was scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

Onizawa's agency has said that they plan to make a decision about his future activities after they have received all of the details about the incident.



WTF Alex WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKK DDD: More details here

Dir en grey postpone shows due to Kyo's illness






04.05.2009 Kyoto – KBS Hall
According to the fans that went to the Kyoto, KBS Hall show, Kyo's voice was extremely strained. He was not even able to sing mid-range parts. And during Agitated Screams of Maggots, he cut his mouth (on purpose). It is assumed he was frustrated with his voice because during his solo, it is reported, that he said, "Will you all love me even with this voice? Please love me even with this voice." He also thanked the audience at the end of the show.

04.06.2009
Today, Dir en grey vocalist Kyo has received the results of his throat condition. He was diagnosed with Chorditis [The inflammation of the vocal chords.] and Edema of the larynx. [Abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin/ or cells of tissue]. Because of this, and with deep regret, a small part of Dir en grey's "Tour 09 Feast of V Senses" (04.07 Zepp Sendai, 04.08 Zepp Sendai, and 04.10 Zepp Sapporo) will be delayed (but not canceled!).

He announced a few days ago that the baby's supposed to be due in about 7 months. That was the last I heard of it.
[info]smilez4you 7th-Apr-2009 05:26 am (UTC)
O___o he has a kid!? *head explodes*
[info]exit_halo 7th-Apr-2009 05:26 am (UTC)
He's going to make some sort of an announcement on the 8th, and that's about all we've got.

The announcement on the 5th that everyone was so riled up about had more to do with his graduating from PSC, I think.
[info]akaich0u 7th-Apr-2009 05:27 am (UTC)
His wife is actually the well-known singer melody.! Apparently they've been dating ~in sekrit~ and she's been pregnant for a while...she's due in July, I think.
[info]c_doll12 7th-Apr-2009 05:58 am (UTC)

He's too hot to be tied down.
[info]shonen_key 7th-Apr-2009 05:37 am (UTC)
idk, i just added the link of someone's LJ who translate some articles related to the incident;

It was also reported Alex had been drinking and was on his way home and that he said, "she was my type so I stupidly made a move on her."


Argh.
