British TV kids' shows win 3 International Emmys; Japanese show gets 1
By CHARLES J. GANS

ENTERTAINMENT FEB. 10, 2013 - 06:00AM JST ( 1 )NEW YORK —

“The Amazing World of Gumball” and two other British TV productions were among the winners at the 1st International Emmy Kids Awards. Other awards went to children’s programs from Argentina, Japan and Norway.

The inaugural Kids Awards ceremony took place Friday night in New York City, despite a major snowstorm.

In previous years, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences had presented a single award for children’s programming at its main International Emmy gala in November. This year, the academy decided to set up a separate ceremony, with International Emmy Kids Awards handed out in six categories to honor outstanding children’s TV programming outside the U.S.

“The Amazing World of Gumball,” a show created by Cartoon Network Europe about the misadventures of a blue cat whose weird classmates include a banana, a female T-Rex and a cheerleading peanut, won in the animation category. The show is also broadcast on Cartoon Network in the U.S.

The other British winners were “Newsround: My Autism and Me,” the story of a 13-year-old girl who shows what it’s like to grow up with autism, in the factual category, and “Lost Christmas,” an urban fairy tale about a mysterious stranger played by Eddie Izzard who arrives on Christmas Eve to help heal a young boy with a tragic past, in the TV movie/mini-series category.

The Norwegian reality-based competition “Energy Survival,” in which children’s teams compete in tasks related to energy and the environment, received the award for non-scripted entertainment.

The other Kids Awards went to Japan’s “Junior High School Diaries: Harmony of Two,” a drama depicting the experiences of teenage students, in the series category, and Argentina’s “El Jardin de Clarilu,” about a little girl and her loyal dog who solve mysteries in her garden, in the preschool category.

The presenters included British actor-comedian Izzard, Canadian actress Vanessa Morgan and Danish children’s television hosts Yiva Hallen and Jakob Stegelmann.

She then continued, “Originally, I have a weak stomach, so I’ve had many problems, but this time it’s bad. Stress, or this and that, it all effects my stomach. I will try to cure it fast taking medicine everyday.”

As Tanaka was also absent from Hello! Project’s live concert held on the 3rd due to a high fever, she wrote, “I couldn’t see you guys today again…what am I gonna do if it gets painful again, the next event will be the last day of ‘Labo’ (Morning Musume’s fan club event ‘Morning Labo!

Ayase Haruka receives her 2nd ‘Valentine Queen Award’



On February 9th, actress Ayase Haruka received the ‘ORICON Valentine Queen Award 2013‘ at a public event in Tokyo. It’s her second Valentine Queen Award after first receiving one in 2011.

The award was the result of a recent survey ORICON STYLE had conducted in January. The website asked 3,000 women in their teens to their thirties on which other woman they’d like to give “Tomo-choco (friend chocolate)” on Valentine’s Day. It was split into the two categories “favorite actress” and “most admirable woman” and Ayase was able to come out on top for both of the categories.

She proudly received the trophy made of Pocky and commented, “It makes me happy to receive such strong support from women.”

At the event, Ayase talked about her past Valentine’s Day experiences. She said, “During my student days, my friends and I started making chocolate and exchanged it with each other. ‘Tomo-choco’ was popular even back then.” Further she explained that she would like to go and have the most delicious chocolate cake for her ideal Valentine’s Day date.

On a completely different note, Ayase was also asked about her latest obsession. The actress confessed, “I like to watch concerts on DVD while I’m in the bathtub and have a karaoke party all by myself.” She continued, “I’m quite an enthusiastic singer in the bathtub. It’s really intense and the singing helps to work off all the stress, but I’m worried that it might be a nuisance to my neighbors.”

Glico and the actress also revealed her personally decorated Pocky sticks. The theme for Ayase’s Pocky design is “wizard and the witch” and the unique design earned some laughs from the audience. She stated, “I’ve always wanted to become a witch and fly through the sky on a broom. I think they (the Pocky designs) look really cute.”

Kishidan’s drummer Shiratori Yukinojo to halt his activities



On February 9th, Kishidan’s drummer Shiratori Yukinojo announced through the band’s official homepage that he would be putting a halt to his activities. As such, support drummer Kano Akira will be participating in Kishidan’s nationwide tour which will kick off on March 1st.

Shiratori has been concentrating on treatment for muscular insufficiency in his left hand since last June. However, it was revealed that his condition was due to occupational dystonia. Since there is no complete recovery for this disease, Shiratori has decided to take a break from his activities.

He wrote, “At this time, I have decided to take a leave from Kishidan. The reason is because I cannot play the drums.” Regarding the occupational dystonia, he explained, “To put it simply, it’s an illness where my body refuses to do what I want to do. There are many things about this illness that is still unknown, so there is no treatment for complete recovery.”

Finally, he promised, “Please give me some time. I will surely come back. I’ll be back again.”

EXILE’s KEIJI to star in late night drama ‘Monsieur!!’



KEIJI, the performer from popular dance vocal group EXILE will star in a late night drama on CBC/TBS titled “Monsieur!!“. This program will begin airing in April.

Though he has been expanding his activities as an actor through his appearance on several dramas, a movie, and stage plays, this will mark his first leading role for a drama series airing on a terrestrial broadcasting station.

This will be a comedy drama with the story revolving around a restaurant that is in financial crisis. In the drama, KEIJI will play as a genius chef who changes the customers’ lives and the restaurant itself, with his cooking. In a real life, KEIJI actually has a cooking license, and also has his own cooking serialization through the magazine “Monthly EXILE.” About his character in the drama, KEIJI said, “He is, in a word, a dynamic man. There are some parts which resemble myself, as he is honest, but clumsy and a bit careless.” Reportedly, KEIJI participated in giving his own ideas for the menu that will be introduced in the drama. He said, “I get nervous on the scenes I use a kitchen knife. It is especially difficult to slice things while I speak the lines.”



KEIJI also said, “Although I feel nervous and pressured, I will work hard to make the most of my acting ability by providing my experiences through stage plays and dramas. Since the drama has a comedic element, I hope the viewers can see a new side of me.”

Other cast members include Machida Keita (Gekidan EXILE), Sakata Rikako, Harukawa Kyosuke (Gekidan EXILE), Isomura Yosuke (Gekidan EXILE), and Anan Kenji.
