Kazunari Ninomiya said his physical stamina improved following a demanding tour schedule during a promotional event in Tokyo on Tuesday [1].
Ninomiya, a member of the group Arashi, is appearing in the second season of the Prime Video series "Secret NG House." His comments highlight the physical toll and eventual adaptation required for high-profile Japanese idol tours, which often involve grueling travel and performance schedules.
During the event, Ninomiya was asked about areas of his life that had recently "powered up." He said it was his physical strength [2]. He noted that the dense scheduling of his recent tour, which included visits to four major cities: Hokkaido, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Osaka [1], led to this increase in endurance.
"I was the one most surprised," Ninomiya said [1].
Ninomiya appeared at the event alongside Masayasu Wakabayashi of the comedy duo Audrey. The pair promoted the upcoming release of "Secret NG House Season 2," which is scheduled to begin streaming on May 22 [3].
Wakabayashi discussed the potential for future iterations of the program. He said he believes a third season is likely, although he noted that anything beyond that remains uncertain [1].
The event served as a final promotional push before the series premieres. Ninomiya's reflections on his health coincided with the broader discussion of how the show itself has evolved for its second outing.
“"Physical strength," Ninomiya said.”
Ninomiya's comments reflect the rigorous nature of the Japanese entertainment industry's touring circuit. By linking his improved stamina to a four-city tour, he underscores the physical demands placed on Arashi members, while the promotion of 'Secret NG House Season 2' indicates Prime Video's continued investment in high-profile celebrity-led variety content in Japan.
