The "Sushi Prince" goes to New York

Wed, April 30, 2008 (2:18am EDT)

Jun Matsumoto wasn't the only Johnny's artist to appear in the U.S. this week for a movie promotion. On Monday, Koichi Domoto attended the American premiere of the "Sushi Ouji!" movie, which was screened at the Walter Reade Theater in New York.

The city was an appropriate choice for the screening, given that the film is set in The Big Apple. The PR campaign also took advantage of the link between the city's initials and one of Domoto's catchphrases in the movie, "nigitte yaru!" (translated as "I will crush you!").

At the event, Domoto introduced himself in English by saying "I'm Sushi Prince," which was greeted with a round of applause. When asked about a possible sequel, he seemed hopeful that the film gets turned into a series. However, the film still has not been given any formal release dates outside of Japan, where it opened on April 19.

はじまりはいつも雨
Hajimari wa itsumo ame

作詞/lyric：飛鳥涼/ASKA
作曲/music：飛鳥涼/ASKA

君に逢う日は不思議なくらい 雨が多くて
水のトンネルくぐるみたいで しあわせになる
君を愛する度に 愛じゃ足りない気がしてた
君を連れ出す度に 雨が包んだ
kimi ni au hi wa fushigi nakurai ame ga ookute
mizu no tonneru kuguru mitai de shiawase ni naru
kimi wo aisuru tabini ai jya tarinai kigashiteta
kimi wo tsuredasu tabini ame ga tsutsunda

君の名前は優しさくらいよくあるけれど
呼べば素敵なとても素敵な 名前と気づいた
僕は上手に君を愛してるかい愛せてるかい
誰よりも誰よりも
kimi no namae wa yasashisa kurai yoku aru keredo
yobeba suteki na totemo suteki na namae to kizuita
boku wa jyouzu ni kimi wo aishiterukai aiseterukai
dare yorimo dare yorimo

☆
今夜君のこと誘うから空を見てた
はじまりはいつも雨星をよけて
konya kimi no koto sasou kara sora wo miteta
hajimari wa itsumo ame hoshi wo yokete

君の景色を語れるくらい抱きしめ合って
愛の部品もそろわないのにひとつになった
君は本当に僕を愛してるかい愛せてるかい
誰よりも誰よりも
kimi no keshiki wo katareru kurai dakishime atte
ai no buhin mo soro wanai no ni hitotsu ni natta
kimi wa honto ni boku wo aishiterukai aiseterukai
dare yorimo dare yorimo

わけもなく君が消えそうな気持ちになる
失くした恋達も後をつけて
wakemonaku kimi ga kiesouna kimochi ni naru
nakushita koitachi mo ato wo tsukete

repeat ☆

ふたり星をよけて
futari hoshi wo yokete

[lyric] 君のキス - CHEMISTRY

君のキス (Album Face to Face, track 03)
Kimi no kisu

作詞/lyric： 田中花乃/Tanaka Hanano
作曲/music： 谷口尚久/Taniguchi Naohisa

ねぇ あんなに 話し合って 別れたのに
まだ 触れ合った 唇は あたたかいままで
nee anna ni hanashiatte wakareta no ni

涙脆い僕達は
不慣れな笑顔して 手を振った
namida moroi bokutachi wa

君のキスがいい 君の声がいい 側にいれるなら 何も要らないよ
後ろ姿が 小さくなる度 君のぬくもりを 痛い程感じてた
kimi no kisu ga ii kimi no koe ga ii soba ni ireru nara nani mo iranai yo
ushiro sugata ga chiisaku naru tabi kimi no nukumori wo itai hodo kanjiteta

ぎゅっと 込み上げる 思い出を吹き消せはしない
今 "忘れない強さ"を この僕に下さい
gyutto komi ageru omoi de wo fuki kese wa shinai
ima "wasurenai tsuyosa" wo kono boku ni kudasai

｢あなたを諦める｣と 言葉選ぶ君に 言えなかった･･･
｢anata wo akirameru｣ to kotoba erabu kimi ni ienakatta...

心と心が本当はひとつで
僕らは何から 背を向けたんだろう
後ろ姿を 追いかけていたら
君は泣いていた？ どうしても 行けなかった
kokoro to kokoro ga honto wa hitotsu de
bokura wa nani kara sei wo muketandarou
ushiro sugata wo oi kaketeitara
kimi wa naiteita? doushite mo kikenakatta

巡り逢いとさよなら 幾度繰り返し 人は強くなると言うけれど 僕は･･･
meguri ai to sayonara ikudo kurikaeshi hito wa tsuyokunaru to iu keredo boku wa...

春の桜通り 夏の蝉時雨 秋も冬も全部 変わりはしないのに
今 何処にいて 誰を想ってるの
｢幸せになって｣と 奇麗には思えずに
haru no sakura toori natsu no semi shigure aki mo fuyu mo zenbu kawari wa shinai no ni
ima doko ni ite dare wo omotteru no
｢shiawase ni natte｣ to kirei ni wa omoezu ni

君のキスがいい 君の声がいい 側にいれるなら 何も要らないよ
泣いていていいから 僕が守るから
君のぬくもりを もう一度感じたい

光一＆中丸「しんちゃん」にでるゾ～！映画同日公開でコラボ

ＫｉｎＫｉ　Ｋｉｄｓの堂本光一（２９）とＫＡＴ－ＴＵＮの中丸雄一（２４）が、テレビ朝日系アニメ「クレヨンしんちゃん」（金曜後７・３０）に本人役で出演することが１６日までに、分かった。
２人が登場するのは、２５日放送の「スシ王子だゾ！」の巻。光一の主演映画「銀幕版　スシ王子！～ニューヨークへ行く～」と「映画クレヨンしんちゃん　 ちょー嵐を呼ぶ金矛の勇者」が同じ１９日公開であることから実現した友情コラボだ。このほど都内でアフレコが行われ、声優初挑戦の中丸は「すごいですよ ね。（初の声優が）しんちゃんですもん！」と共演に興奮を隠さなかった。
光一は“春日部のアイドル”と呼ばれるしんちゃんに、「僕、モテへんのよ。相談に乗ってくれる？」と意外な悩みを告白！？　しんちゃんとの映画対決で勝つ自信は？と聞かれると、「僕も（しんちゃんと同じく）対決よりオケツの方が好きなので」と交わし、周囲を笑わせた。
