According to this article, the producer of Howl's Moving Castle did not know Kimura was so famous. He remembered before SMAP was very famous, he once saw Kimura on a tram surrounded by girls who sought his autograph. Kimura blushed badly.
The producer was looking for a voice for the character when Kimura called and he recommended himself. When they heard he was interested, they were all very happy. Kimura said that he didn't mind how small the part is. He just wanted to try dubbing for animated movie. They invited Kimura at once to the studio. When Miyazaki saw Kimura, the first sentence was, "You are so handsome, it should do." It scared Kimura. Luckily, Kimura was talented and didn't have to rehearse too many times. Miyazaki was surprised.
The producer divulged that actually Miyazaki thought that Howl was the personification of himself and everyone laughed silently. When Miyazaki agreed to Kimura's dubbing, his real meaning was that he is as handsome as Kimura.
The movie broke Japan all time high at the box office again.

The best selling albums of all Japan including the foreign albums this year are
1 Single Collection Vol 1 by Utada Hikaru
2. Jewels by Queen
3. Happy sounds by Mr Children
The no 2 album by Queens is because the song I was born to love you was made as the theme song for his TV series PRIDE which Kimura Takuya performed in. It shows that the old folks still have the best performance.
Utada's Exodus album is at no. 11 and the Winter Sonata OST album from Korea is at no. 8.
This pix is beautiful. But it's very big.
