The February 3 issue of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper featured a special collaboration between boy band Arashi and a few manga artists, titled “ARASHI meets MANGA.” The 8-page feature included illustrations of Arashi’s five members, drawn by the artists who did the original works behind some of the dramas and films that they have starred in. Each of the members also gave their thoughts on those works.
The illustrations were drawn by:
- Taiyo Matsumoto (“Tekkon Kinkreet”) – Kazunari Ninomiya
- Chica Umino (“Honey and Clover”) – Sho Sakurai
- Yoko Kamio (“Hana Yori Dango”) – Jun Matsumoto
- Kenji Nagatomo (“Bartender”) – Masaki Aiba
- Fujiko Fujio A (“Kaibutsu-kun”) – Satoshi Ohno
A gallery of the images can be found here.
