Fuji TV is adapting Yuu Watase's shojo manga "Zettai Kareshi" (also known as "Absolute Boyfriend") as a live-action drama series, starring Mocomichi Hayami and Saki Aibu. The six-volume manga was originally serialized in Shojo Comic and has sold more than 1.6 million books.
Aibu plays a temp worker in search of a boyfriend, and she ends up in possession of a "robot" known as Night Tenjo (Hayami), who is programmed to be the perfect boyfriend. However, this creates a love triangle with a distinguished young man at Aibu's company (played by Hiro Mizushima) who has feelings for her.
The series will air on Tuesdays at 9:00pm, starting on April 8.

Fans of pop star Ayumi Hamasaki were surprised on Friday by a post on her fan club website revealing that the singer has gone completely deaf in her left ear.
Hamasaki mentioned that she had her ear checked last year. Her deafness was confirmed, and doctors said her condition was not treatable. The loss of hearing had started as early as 2000, when it forced her to cancel several shows.
Hamasaki said that she will continue her singing career as long as she can still hear with her right ear.

31-year-old actor Joe Odagiri and 20-year-old actress Yu Kashii surprised the entertainment world on Thursday when their agencies announced that the two are getting married. They held a press conference that night at a hotel in Tokyo.
The pair met in 2005 while working together for the movie "The Pavillion Salamandre." They began dating in the fall, and weekly magazine Josei Seven first reported the romance that December, when Odagiri was seen driving Kashii home after a night out with friends.
Odagiri said that he had marriage in mind from the start of their relationship. He explained that he will be doing more work overseas starting next year, so he wanted to get married soon to give Kashii some security. They plan to register the marriage early next year. No date has been set for a ceremony or reception.
While the two are separated by 11 years in age, they coincidentally have the same birthday, February 16. Odagiri will be filming abroad for a month starting in January, so they may end up registering the marriage in February as well.

Actress Yu Yamada has landed her first starring role in a movie, titled "Kanna-san, Daiseikou Desu!" Directed by Koichi Inoue, the film draws from the same source as last year's Korean hit comedy "200 Pounds Beauty," which starred Kim Ah-jung.
"Kanna-san, Daiseikou Desu!" is originally a manga by Yumiko Suzuki. It tells the story of an unattractive woman named Kanna who undergoes plastic surgery and becomes a pop star. Yamada, who plays Kanna, is said to be a fan of the comic.
While the Korean adaptation was a romantic comedy, the Japanese version will stay truer to the manga and focus more on Kanna's relationship with her friend Kabako, played by comedian Shizu-chan of Nankai Candies.
The idea for an adaptation came up three years ago. The story will be animated up until Kanna's plastic surgery, after which the film changes entirely to live-action. Filming started this past October and wrapped up about a month later. Theatrical release is scheduled for fall 2008.

The popular Fuji TV drama series "Proposal Daisakusen," which aired this past spring, is getting a special episode. Starring Tomohisa Yamashita and Masami Nagasawa, the episode will take place after the original series.
According to the network, the ambiguous ending led to thousands of phone calls and e-mails from viewers, asking about the rest of the story and whether a continuation was planned.
As a result, a two-hour special is in the works. Filming begins in late January and will include scenes in Hawaii. Producer Madoka Takiyama says that the story will start there, with the friends Tsuru (Gaku Hamada) and Eri (Nana Eikura) holding their wedding ceremony.
Yuta Hiraoka, Naohito Fujiki, and Hiroshi Mikami will return for the special, which is scheduled to air this coming spring.

The Japan Formalwear Association presented its Best Formalist awards on Thursday. This year, the winners were actor Shosuke Tanihara and actress Haruka Igawa.
Tanihara got married in March to Emi Miyake. During the award ceremony, he announced that Miyake gave birth to a daughter in mid-October, but he did not reveal the girl's birth date or name. This is Miyake's second child, as she has a son from her previous marriage with Issei Ishida.
Reporters also asked Igawa if she would be expecting any time soon, but she gently answered no. Igawa got married last November to fashion designer Ato Matsumoto.

Rumors have surfaced that actress Rosa Kato and KAT-TUN member Jin Akanishi are currently dating. According to weekly tabloid FRIDAY, Akanishi once spent 17 hours at Kato's apartment.
In May, the magazine spotted Akanishi driving Kato home after a meal. Then earlier this month, he reportedly stayed over at her place for 17 hours, and continued visiting during the following week.
Kato was recently rumored to be dating actor Hiroshi Tamaki, but they are said to have broken up. Kato's agency says that she's friends with both Tamaki and Akanishi, and denies that she has dated either of them. As for the alleged 17-hour stay, her agency stated that he was simply one of a group of friends having a party there. Akanishi's agency also says that the two are just friends.
