Masaharu Fukuyama has been chosen to do the theme song of the upcoming Fuji TV drama series "Majo Saiban." It has been nearly 4 years since he sang "Tokyo" for the drama series "Slow Dance," which was the last time he handled a drama theme on his own. For "Majo Saiban," he will be providing a rock-flavored tune called "Keshin."

The drama, which stars Toma Ikuta as a juror in a murder trial, premieres on April 25. No release date has been announced yet for Fukuyama's single.

Fukuyama has also revealed that he will hold his first Nippon Budokan concert later this year, in celebration of his 20th anniversary as a singer.

KAT-TUN has just added six more dates to their upcoming concerts this spring. In January, they announced that they would be performing for a record 7 consecutive days at the Tokyo Dome, but with the extra concerts, they have now upped that number to 8.

Approximately 385,000 tickets were available for the original 7 concerts on May 15-21, but there were reportedly about 850,000 requests for tickets during the pre-order period alone. In response, Johnny's Jimusho has scheduled three additional shows at Tokyo Dome and three at Osaka Dome.

KAT-TUN will now be performing at Tokyo Dome for eight days in a row on May 15-22. They will then travel to Osaka for three concerts on May 29-31, before returning to Tokyo Dome on June 14-15. Together, the 13 concerts will gather an audience of roughly 685,000 fans.
