TOKYO —

Nippon Television Network (NTV) said Johnny’s idol group Arashi will host its annual charity program “24-hour TV” which will air Aug 30-31. Arashi will participate in the program for the second time since 2004. The theme of the program is “Vow – The Most Important Promise” and it will focus more on the global environment than it used to, producers said.

Sho Sakura, 26, a member of Arashi, said, “It’s a great honor to come back to the program again. When I took part in the program last time four years ago, it was an Olympic year. This year, we have again a big event, the G-8 summit in Hokkaido. I would like the program to inspire people to do something positive for both Japan and the world for the future.”

  They are so not gay. It's totally normal for japanese boy bands to dance and stuff. Check your sources, dude. Don't go criticising people for no reason.
