Mega-popular idol group Arashi may be ten-year veterans of stage and screen, but these busy boys have recently added another achievement to their resumes. The Japan Tourism Agency enlisted Arashi to be the face of Japan as spokesmen for its new promotional campaign: “Japan. Endless Discovery.” Three of Arashi’s members inaugurated the promotion with speeches about the wonders of Japan—in English, Chinese and Korean. Their ability to tackle such a wide array of challenges should also serve the boys well in their upcoming variety program, Arashi ni Shiyagare, which debuts this week on NTV. The premise of the show is, well, a surprise—for the hosts, at least, who will open the telecast each week with absolutely no idea who the special guest will be, or what they’ll be required to do.
Airs Saturdays at 10pm on NTV, channel 4
