Kame & Jun's Double Date

Kamenashi Kazuya was seen with Matsumoto Jun and two other pretty girls at a soccer match. It was supposed that they have gone on a double date to watch a soccer match.

This +1 Football Match features Nakata Hidetoshi. They were seen sitting in the VIP section in side by side, Matsujun's date, Matsujun, some random guy, Kame and then Kame's girl.

As most people who were there, are probably hardcore soccer fans, they are not really concern about who were sitting near them except for a few people closest to them. Kame and Jun seemed very comfortable talking and behaving intimately in an open public space with their dates, enjoying themselves.

However, at about 42 minutes after kickoff, Kame's face appeared on the big screen, to his left you could see a guy wearing a black shirt and on the right was the shoulder of a girl with straight brown hair wearing a black and white striped shirt. A quick shot i guess. Other observers noticed Kame's date resembles the model Rina (who has been linked to Akanishi Jin) and Kame's date. Jun's date was said to be very pretty as well so it is highly possible that both of them are in the industry too.

When questioning Rina's agency, they commented, "She was doing a location shoot for ViVi in Izu and Shimoda (in Shizuoka) at 7pm. And it was confirmed she was in Shimoda until about 8 - 9pm and arrived at Tokyo only after midnight. If she was out with Kamenashi it would be okay (not bad for her image), we would not mind but it was someone else. She's half Japanese, half American so people often mistake similar looking girls for her."

Young Black Jack

Synopsis: One Christmas day, 9-year-old Tokio (Ooe Shunsuke) had arranged to meet his mother Mitsuko (Toda Naho) at a shopping mall.

At that moment, there is news that the criminal behind a series of bomb attacks in the metropolis has called the police with a warning about the next bomb.

It has been rigged at the place where Tokio is waiting for his mother. Mitsuko desperately tries to save Tokio, but does not make it in time and gets caught up in the explosion.

The two of them lose consciousness and are taken to Toukei University Hospital. The surgeon, Honma (Ichimura Masachika), operates on Tokio. His severed right hand and leg were stitched, and brown skin was transplanted on the half of his face which was burnt.

Tokio miraculously survives. Prevented from seeing his mother until he makes a recovery, Tokio devotes himself to rehabilitation. And half a year later, he is reunited with her. However, she has continued to sleep without ever regaining consciousness.

It is a big shock to him, but he is told by Honma, “Your mother may wake up if there are advances in medicine.” And so, he decides to become a doctor and awaken his mother. 15 years later, 24-year-old Tokio (Okada Masaki) is a student in medical school.

He is later known as Young Black Jack, the unlicensed doctor who demands huge payment. Tokio lives with his mother, who has continued to be on life support equipment and remained in a state of suspended animation since 15 years ago, in a basement and searches for a method to wake her up. Yuna (Naka Riisa), a medical school student and daughter of the director of Toukei University Hospital, finds a lady who has collapsed on the street with a cardiopulmonary arrest.

She tries to give her a cardiac massage. Tokio appears and says, “There is something that has to be done before the cardiac massage.” He saves the lady by applying the appropriate first aid procedures. Seeing the procedure, Yuna mistakes Tokio for a doctor.

At that moment, he drops his pocket book and Yuna picks it up. A photograph of a young Tokio and Mitsuko is lodged inside. Several days later, Yuna meets Tokio at the venue where she had sat for the national exam for medical practitioners.

She is surprised to learn that he is a medical student and develops an interest in him. After that, Yuna finds out that Tokio has, for some reason, been treating patients unable to go to the hospital even though he has no license.

He seeks the return of his pocket book and she tells him, “If you want me to give it back to you, come to my house to get it.” When he goes to take his pocket book from Yuna’s home, a party, which has brought her family members, boyfriend Naoki (Ozawa Yukiyoshi) and Honma together, is being held at the residence to celebrate the end of Yuna’s exams.

In the midst of this, Yuna’s younger sister, Nagisa (Haru), suddenly collapses … …
