Honjani - Episode Guide

Honjani (ほんじゃに!) was a program on Kansai TV that ran for 30 minutes. It featured Kanjani8 (関ジャニ∞) and the Kansai TV announcer Sugimoto Natsumi (杉本なつみ). The program ran from April 2003-2007. It is said that the title comes from when the president of Johnny's misheard the kansai expression "Hon, ja ne!".

Generally, the members would learn some skill that would impress others/give them new abilities. These skills ranged from sports to cooking, to magic. This means they were not usually in a studio. Sometimes there would be a special done in another location (Hokkaido for example).

Often the ending credits featured a song sung by Kanjani8.

The show was the successor to J3 Kansai, and followed by Janiben.

**NOTE** Some of the dates may be off due to different airing times across the country. I have tried to stick with the original air dates, but there will be discrepancies.

Yokoyama You Ga Yacchaimasu! Part 2 Set List

Yokoyama You held a second solo concert, in response to the amazing turnout to the first, in March 2008. He held shows in Nagoya and Tokyo. Unlike the first time where one membership could apply for four tickets (the usual pattern), this time one member could apply for one ticket. You could apply with a friend, but you both had to be members of the fanclub.

The odds were a little better (personally we hit for 1 ticket out of the 8 we applied for). Also, it is one of the few shows that have checked IDs and tickets.

The Tokyo shows were held in the International Forum.

Urajani

Urajani (裏ジャニ) was a TV show featuring the members of Kanjani8 that ran on TV Tokyo from April 6, 2004 until March 29, 2005. The name of the show is a combination of the character ura (meaning behind, out of sight, bottom) and Johnny.

The show often featured the members going out into the streets to explore present day trends and fashions, for example. The three main focuses of the show were on: love and confessions (Love Faker), testing the body, and experiments with girls.

The official site is still available here.

Marching J (Japan) ~Ashita ni Mukatte~

On March 30, Johnny's Jimusho announced an event to raise money for the victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The event is called Marching J.

Because of the problems that emerged, many places across Japan, but especially in the northern areas, were asked to reduce electricity (and some places had blackouts). The concert section of the agency reduced its electricity useage and canceled many events. They sent some trucks to help with shipping goods as well.

After the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, a special unit known as J-Friends (TOKIO, V6 and KinKi Kids) was formed to raise money and support the victims.

The new event, Marching J, will be held from April 1-3 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo with all of the idols (from Kondo Masahiko** on down to the juniors) in the agency participating (if/when they can). The idols will be there, although according to rumors groups of about 10 will have hosting duties, to help raise money. They will accept donations from 10-5.

No word on any schedules. Because of their regular work as well, the idols will probably come when/if time permits.

Monster Hunter CM

After years of talking about the game on the radio, in magazine interviews, during concerts, on TV, basically anywhere they could, four members of Kanjani8 (Yokoyama, Maruyama, Subaru and Murakami) have finally made a Monster Hunter commercial.

The CM is for “Monster Hunter Portable 3rd” on the PSP.

Specifically, Yoko has been pushing the game and talking about it at every chance (I mean, how many times in one episode of recomen alone does he mention it). Finally, they were able to get that job. Finally.

J3 Kansai - Episode Guide

J3Kansai (read J Cube Kansai) was a program on Kansai TV that ran for 30 minutes.  It featured the Kansai Johnny's juniors (8 of whom became Kanjani8 関ジャニ∞) and the Kansai TV announcer Sugimoto Natsumi (杉本なつみ).  It ran from October 1, 2002 to March 25, 2003.  It was replaced by Honjani (ほんじゃに!).  It was preceded by a show called Juukan VWest (週刊V.WEST) (2001-02).

At first, the so-called top-7 Kansai juniors were featured, along with Sugimoto.  They added an additional member to bring the number to 8, thus forming the group Kanjani8 (Kansai Johnny's 8).  Kansai TV is on channel 8, so it is said (rumored) that they wanted a group with 8 members as a tie-in.  Other juniors often appeared as back dancers during the music performances at the end of every episode.

The show usually started with the song Stance and had a different closing song or medley.
