Fans were thrilled by the “Idol Ninomiya”‘s behavior.

Kazunari Ninomiya (42) of “Arashi” started his first fan club event “OFFICE NINO HOLDINGS FAN MEETING 2025 ″Show Case″ on September 2. On the day of the event, fans in the audience were able to take pictures of the stage, and the event received great acclaim, including for Ninomiya’s performance.

Ninomiya released his second cover album “00 and Ninomiya and 2” on July 1 this year. This event is scheduled to be held on September 2 and 3, starting with a total of 15 performances at the Okatani Koki Nagoya Public Hall in Aichi Prefecture, and this time on the first day, he sang mainly songs from the album.

According to reports from fans on SNS, there was a “photo time” at the end of the show when they performed a song called “Weekend March. Fans said, ‘The first day was great! It’s a miracle that we were allowed to take pictures. They were crying so hard” and “Look at Kazuya Ninomiya, who is too much of an idol! In addition, a look at the video that was filmed shows Ninomiya giving an extra-large fan service to the audience by throwing kisses as he left the stage. People who were impressed by Ninomiya’s behavior as an idol wrote their impressions with hashtags such as “#Kazuya Ninomiya, the genius idol” (entertainment writer).

Through his main idol activities, Ninomiya has once again enthralled his fans. On the other hand, “Exit 8,” a movie starring him that was just released on August 29, had an unexpected mishap. This is a live-action film version of the hit game “Exit 8,” which was released by indie game creator KOTAKE CREATE as a personal production. In the game, the player is trapped in an underground passageway and must search for various “anomalies” while trying to find a way out.

On September 1, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the movie announced, “To all viewers of the movie ‘Exit 8,'” and added, “This movie is set in an endless underground passageway, and there are scenes that may remind you of natural disasters such as a tsunami. Please be careful when watching the film.

In response to this, netizens commented, “We have to release this information on the first day of the film,

Isn’t this information necessary to be released on the first day of the movie?

I think it’s too late. I guess they didn’t announce it because they were aware of the record of the first three days, but it seems like a cowardly thing to do. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to see the show.

In Japan, where so many people have been affected by the tsunami, I think it was a bad idea to release the film without warning. ……

I went to see the movie without knowing about it, but the tsunami and other scenes were so painful that I was bothered.

I went to see the film without knowing about it, but the tsunami and other scenes were hard to watch, and I was bothered. In fact, some people said they felt “sick” when they saw the relevant scenes, and it seems that some people gave up watching the movie after seeing the negative comments.

According to an article on Eiga.com, a comprehensive movie information website distributed on September 1, “Exit 8,” which opened in 407 theaters nationwide, drew 671,840 viewers and grossed 953,919,000 yen during its three-day run (August 29 to 31). The three-day box office was the highest of any live-action film released this year. Netizens who saw the movie gave high marks to Ninomiya, saying, “I wondered how they would adapt the game into a story, but Ninomiya’s performance was outstanding,” and “Kazuya Ninomiya’s acting was terrific.

(Ibid.) “I am sure that Ninomiya will continue to fascinate people with his various activities as an idol and an actor.
