it's just one after another

It started with Aiba-kun's マイガル 'My Girl' for Fall 2009.

And like a little sneak peek to the next, Sakurai-kun appeared in the last episode of Aiba's drama:







And the next one rolled out with Sakurai-kun's 特上カバチ, 'Tokujo Kabachi!', for Winter 2010 - to which for the final episode, Ohno-kun appeared too:


Maou-days nostalgia *laughs*





Which rolled out the carpet for Ohno-kun's drama for Spring 2010, 怪物くん, Kaibutsu-kun, where Matsumoto-kun also made an (adorable) presence for the final episode:





Which of course, sets the ball rolling for Matsumoto-kun's Summer 2010 drama, 夏の恋わ虹色に輝く, Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro Kagayaku:



And while Natsuniji is still showing, the next person's drama has also been announced, フリーター, 家を買う, Furiitaa Ie wo Kau, for the Fall 2010 slot - I think the guess for who's the said person would be pretty much narrowed down by now.

Because they all come in succession :D One after another.

Since they have been doing it over the years with each member's drama every now and then, such as Ninomiya in Ohno's Maou, Ohno in Sakurai and Ninomiya's Yamada Taro, Sakurai in Ohno's Uta no Oniisan, and more - but this year's drama has all been strung together in sucession with them guest starring in the drama before his own. I'm guessing that the said person would make an appearance in the final episode of Natsuniji too, sort of like to get the ball connected to his drama? :)

Yes - Japan TV drama slots has been invaded by Arashi for every season.

As if they don't already dominate with their variety shows here and there, their CMs, their posters and adverts of endorsements on the streets and subways, and moreeee.

I think the fans are spoiled - each drama has used the group's music for its theme song, so we had four singles in a row (and one added exclusive from Sakurai-kun's Mitsuya CM), so really, the odds of the Furiitaa, getting out another single from the boys is very much high *laughs*.

It's getting a little predictable but it's amusing for me.
