According to the Location Report for the upcoming spring drama "Tumbling" starring Yamamoto Yusuke, the rest of the cast has started practicing for their rhythmic gymnastics performances in the drama. As it was stated in earlier articles they will all be performing the stunts themselves without the use of stunt doubles.
Most of the cast had no prior experience in gymnastics. Coach Yamada from Kokushikan University Gymnastics Club began training with them last fall.

X Japan leader Yoshiki has filed a lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court against the music production company Nexstar Corporation, seeking approximately 375 million yen in damages. However, that figure could grow by another 600 million yen.
According to the lawsuit, after X Japan reunited, they entered a contract with Nexstar Corporation in January 2008, which included the use of some recordings. That initial deal was for the sum of 600 million yen in advance royalties and contract money, which has so far been entirely unpaid.

As one of Japan's new generation of female celebrities, Yamada brought her star power to Hong Kong yesterday and attended a press conference in Tsim Sha Tsui for a brand name makeup company which she endorses. She wore a short dress which was sponsored by the company and revealed a pair of long legs. Yamada was smiling throughout the press conference and captivated the entire audience.
Yamada Yu and her actor boyfriend Oguri Shun have long acknowledged their relationship to the public. Earlier this year they were caught vacationing together with their families. Oguri was also seen wearing something along of the lines of a promise ring. While Yamada wasn't wearing any rings, she didn't hesitate to answer questions from the Hong Kong press when asked how their relationship was progressing. Yamada acknowledged that she does have a Japanese boyfriend and their relationship is very steady.

An activist from New Zealand has been arrested by Japan's coastguard after he boarded a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern Ocean last month.
Peter Bethune said he had boarded the ship intending to make a citizen's arrest of the Japanese crew.
Instead, the Shonan Maru 2 immediately set sail for Japan with him on board.
He is a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which has been trying to disrupt the annual hunt of the Japanese whaling fleet.
Scores of camera crews and photographers waited on the quayside as the whaling ship sailed into Tokyo bay with the anti-whaling activist on board.
'Eco-terrorist'
Nationalist protestors were carrying Rising Sun flags and placards branding Peter Bethune an "eco-terrorist".
After the Shonan Maru 2 docked, Japanese coastguard officials went on board and arrested him.
He had been detained on the ship as it sailed back to Japan after he boarded it from a jet-ski in the Southern Ocean last month.
His intention was to perform a citizen's arrest on the Shonan Maru 2's captain for what he said was the attempted murder of his crew, and demand compensation.
Mr Bethune was in command of a Sea Shepherd hi-tech stealth boat when it was sliced in two in a collision with the ship as anti-whaling activists clashed with the fleet.
He could now be charged with trespassing on a vessel, and if convicted, face a fine or prison.
