On January 31st, a press conference for Arashi's�Aiba Masaki's upcoming drama, "Bartender", was held in the Roppongi Hills Arena, and the cast members made an appearance. �As we reported several times, "Bartender" is based on the ongoing manga in "Super Jump", and Aiba will play the bartender, Sasakura Ryu.

Aiba has been trained by a professional bartender for the drama since August 2010, and �in order to show the results of his training, he made an original cocktail (non-alcoholic), named "Friday Memories", for a lucky fan who was chosen by drawing from among the 800 fans who showed up. �He said, "I'm putting my love in it to make it delicious~!", and it made all the fans scream. �One of the cast members, Kanjiya Shihori, also tried Aiba's "Friday Memories" (with�alcohol), and she enjoyed the cocktail, saying, "Hmm, it's delicious!"

"Bartender" will start on�February�4th on TV Asahi, and Arashi's upcoming single, "Lotus", will be its theme song.
