The August issue of entertainment information magazine "Nikkei Entertainment!" (Nikkei BP), featuring popular group "Arashi" member Jun Matsumoto on the cover, went on sale on July 4th. He talks about his lead role in the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "The 19th medical record," his stance and way of thinking as a director, and his honest thoughts about Arashi.
Matsumoto-san has also demonstrated his skills as a director, overseeing Arashi's concerts, the agency's events, and Snow Man's live performance at the National Stadium. When asked about the positioning of directing work, he prefaced his unique theory by saying, "In my case, this is just my opinion."
He also touched on the "ism" that is common to junior groups, including Arashi, who announced that they will end their activities next year. He revealed that there was a change when Arashi announced that they would resume their activities in preparation for their final concert. He also spoke frankly about his feelings about the end of their activities, saying, "From my current perspective in 2025..."
The private talk will include five questions such as "What do you like to eat with alcohol?" and "What entertainment have you enjoyed recently?". In addition, interviews with Ami Touma, Tomoya Nakamura, and Kyoya Honda will also be published.
