Merry Christmas everyone!
May everyone have a Blessed Christmas and a Joyful New Year!
I'm late again.
It's already past Aiba-chan's birthday but I'm really super busy these past few days.
When we went to church earlier tonight we sang Happy Birthday to baby Jesus and of course I didn't forget you.
I also sang Happy Birthday for you.

I haven't posted News Zero for the past weeks.
I've been sick for the past few days. I thought I'm already fine but here's another cough and colds.
It must be the weather.

Meisa to play heroine in Arashi's "Saigo no Yakusoku"
Actress Meisa Kuroki (21) has been chosen to play the heroine role in the Fuji TV drama special "Saigo no Yakusoku." It was recently announced that the drama will star all five members of Arashi.
"Saigo no Yakusoku" is described as a human suspense story involving the hijack of a major building. The members of Arashi play five young men who happen to be inside, and the story depicts their attempt to escape and their interactions with the other people caught up in the incident.
Kuroki plays the daughter of the building's company president. One scene features an argument between her character and Jun Matsumoto (26), who plays a motorcycle courier.
Fuji TV plans to broadcast the drama near the start of 2010.
