tsugumi and kenbo

2010-11-29T22:13:00.005+08:00

i was happy watching ashida mana came to Ii Tomo nakai last time.

i've been talking to friends about how i love seeing ashida mana with kato tsubasa. i was imagining child puppy love story between kenbo and tsugumi.
[although i know they're still underage, haha]

of course, i like kato seishiro too.
but i love the other kato more. kato tsubasa's personality exactly resembles nakai.

that why i was screaming happily when mana-chan came and meet nakai-kun.
lol. it's like watching nakai and his soon-to-be daughter-in-law. hikhik.
she's cute, right nakai-kun.. don't you think she resembles your sister, kanno miho-chan?

wish mana-chan gonna work with him and nakama yukie after this.

last time, kenbo in tsuyoshi-yukie's Japanese American special drama.
kenbo at baseball tournament, i was really focus on watching him ..
lol. this boy... really wanna smack his cap.
'stop playing around kenbo. you're exactly like your father maakun'.
maakun, a character of nakai-kun in smap x smap idol gakuen.
don't you think, it's time to see those pinkish skateboys together with their child co-stars?
that would be a great reunion, deshou!

oh, back to ii tomo 23.11.2010 ... although there's no kato tsubasa...
still another tsubasa came as the guests....
they're tackey and tsubasa. wiiii~

Gen-O: Actors and Actresses

2010-02-26T17:40:00.005+08:00

ya'know my weakness?
japanese veteran actors and actresses.
dunno why.
probably because..
they've father-mother-grandpa-granma figured.
otosan-okasan-ojiisan-obaasan.
sometimes, i always end up staring them on-screen.
dunno why.
probably they've some kind of
aura, high-respected and gentleness image.
or probably because they don't need to say anything.
their kao.. facial expression enough to make my heart waver.
ya'know my weakness?
dunno why.
i love veteran actors and actresses.
hope they've wonderful life, safe and healthy.
* i really sad when Ogata Ken and Fujita Makoto gone last time.

The Actresses

2010-01-25T06:22:00.001+08:00

nakayama miho and shinohara ryoko

Nakayama Miho is an actress [also a former pop idol singer] since end 1980s till early 2000s.

I'm mostly recommend her works in Love Letter movie, Sleeping Forest drama or Oishii Kankei drama.

Nakayama married with Hitonari Tsuji [author-composer-director] in 2002 and moved permanently to Paris. But she still make some appearances in commercials and events.

Recently, she did a comeback in her latest movie "Sayonara Itsuka".

The movie is directed by Lee Jae-Han [korea] and the filming was took places of Bangkok, Korea and Japan. The theme song by Nakashima Mika.

Shinohara Ryoko is a singer and actress. a mother of a son from the marriage with Ichimura Masachika [senior actor who is 24 years older than her] in December 2005. the marriage going well so far... i like her husband as the true stage actor.

Shinohara and Ichimura-san already acted under mitani koki many times. btw, their first met was in Hamlet stage play 2001. hopefully shinohara-ichimura will keep happy together ever after. oh, shinohara also has a good relationship with smap especially nakai and shingo. it's like she's also a part of SMAP family. i really love Shinohara in Yankee drama with takeno and her Unfair series.
theme song of Unfair movie was by yuna ito.

suzuki kyoka

Suzuki Kyoka is my favorite senior actress. she made her debut in1989. in 1998, she won Best Actress award for famous 'Welcome Back Mr McDonald' (koki mitani's movie). she made numerous movies and dramas in various kind of challenging or typical roles. first time i watched her was in Koki Mitani's works.. i already stunned with her beauty. she has a classic and elegant image. put her in any era, she'll always fine to bring up herself [probably same like Gong Li].

being endorser of Shiseido Tsubaki, she's the one and only 'veteran' woman who probably the most comfortable with herself there, without any distraction - especially being in the middle of much younger celebrities. emm, i wish suzuki kyoka-sanada hiroyuki combi again. they looks good together.

GTO Boys

2010-01-15T15:47:00.008+08:00

let's talk about my Great Techer Onizuka {GTO} boys.

yosuke kubozuka - shun oguri - ikeuchi hiroyuki

i was really happy with Tajomaru movie, last year. Not only the theme song used Pray by B'z, but also the reunion of ikeuchi and shun.

for this year, ikeuchi will be with murakami shingo {hehe, erika toda's bf?} in the fourth story of Room O drama. ok, put it aside. i'm most anticipating for Yamato Space Battleship movie with kimura now. the story is about a journey of space crews to planet Iscandar [i like the name.. sounds iskandar, right]. the purpose of the journey is to find a device that could heal our ravaged earth.

in Yamato movie, ikeuchi's roleplay as crew of space cavalier (space marins). apart from kimura and meisa, i was really jumping kyaaa~ when i learned all my favorite veteran stars will be in this movie: yanagiba toshiro - takashima reiko - hashizume isao - nishida toshiyuki - yamazaki tsutomu. meanwhile, tsutsumi shinichi will be kimura's brother. {*uwaa, last time shinichi with matsu in villon's wife.. now he's with kimura in yamato. i hope he will join Josai team with both kimura-matsu in next sequel HERO2}.

and i'm so excited knowing ikeuchi also will be in NODAMAP production 'The Character' stage play. ikeuchi will be with miyazawa rie, arata furuta, takashi fujii, tetsushi tanaka, isao hashizume and mr noda himself. wargh~ another line of great casts. i wonder what kind of story is this... will this gonna be another Noda-san's comedy? i never seen ikeuchi in comedy. mitai na~

and yosuke kubozuka.. he did a debut as photographer last year. he shot for the actress naoko watanabe's photo book. upcoming this jan-feb 2010, yosuke will be with morita v6 in a stage play "Chi wa Tatta Mama Nemutteiru" under direction of yukio ninagawa. oh my, my wish already fulfilled... yeayyy! i always want yosuke entering the stage world. it'll be waste if he stop acting.. never quit, my dear.. never quit.

in this story, yosuke will be the co-star of morita-kun. both morita-yosuke are good friends [terrorist] and shinobu terajima is mori's sister. later on yosuke will fall in love with terajima.. huh? wait a minute, i can't imagine yosuke with terajima, because he's still a cute ikemen :P

oh, seems that ninagawa is yosuke's big fan! he watched all yosuke's movies and listened to his CDs ... {chotto matte yo.. jyodan desuka? .. ninagawa the seriously strict old man listened to reggae?! muahahaha, oh my, will kimura-matsu laugh if they heard this}. ninagawa should call matsu and kimura again for special project. to see kimumatsu in stage musical would be the best gift for fans like us.

after miyazawa rie with ikeuchi, i would like kubozuka with matsu in stage play. or matsu-toma combi. or matsu-rena pair. or tsu-rena. or kimumatsu. emm, i have so many wishes, am i? lol. .... jya, when i'm gonna see takeno in theater?.

if yosuke with his stage debut, shun on the other hands made his debut as movie director. this year.. in summer, his movie "Surely Someday' will be released. the casts are keisuke koide [that guy of Snake in Kisaragi's movie], ryo katsuji [the romantic detective in Tokyo DOGS drama], ryohei suzuki and tsuyoshi muro[both are the guests in Tokyo DOGS]. generally, the movie is about a loose true story of oguri shun with his old school friends.

the five guys formed a band. they would like to perform their original song "Surely Someday" at their school's cultural festival. unfortunately, an incident happened which turned them being kick-out from the school. with their lives at a dead end, they face the challenge and trying to turn their lives around. this movie roadshow will begin on 17 july 2010.

btw... talking about ninagawa yukio, last time in yoshitaka yuriko's Snakes and Earrings movie [directed by ninagawa].. oguri shun, tatsuya fujiwara and karasawa toshiaki did short cameo there.

Ii Tomo Autumn Special 2009

2010-01-11T08:58:00.006+08:00

it's been few weeks i've been spending [and wasting] time.. checking a full big box of old drama VCD DVD - clearing spaces in hard disk - caps, collages and did siggy, icons and headers - making videos etc. i think my hands already numb at this time.. so for this Ii Tomo Autumn Special 2009, i'll just dump some as a simple slide.

FYI, part of this low quality caps were in Recycle Bin {can you imagine how long i didn't organize my stuff?}. i restored, recycled and did some touch-up. amami yuki really lovely here, in real. especially her feminine clothes and hairstyle. i bet nobody could resist her beauty. age doesn't matter ne. even the cameraman gave such a big spotlight, no matter how she was trying so hard to hide at the back of everyone.

i love this episode and the game, it's fun! especially with palm reading and face reading... haha, since when nakai-kun suddenly so interested with this. ararara, try looking for the best time to change nakaMA to nakaI?! :P
let's turn on matsu takako's song - Mirai ni Naru [to become the future]

hoka no dare demo nai "anata" ga ite
hoka no dare demo nai "watashi" ga ite

there is no one else, "you" are here

there is no one else, "I" am here

sense

2009-12-24T17:30:00.009+08:00

sometimes i got a question, something like
- 'ah lisya, you really love shipping ne'.
i just smile. well, yes.
but only after my own rational, logic and sense.

towards my treasure Jbox, hait. YES i'm doing it SERIOUSly.
[kimumatsu, tsurena, shinarisa, nakanaka, goromiho, takenoamami - *nanakosorimachi already husband-wife*]
.. i did it because of my sixth-sense. i personally keep track on them separately and seems at the end, all-together-of them are always related and connected to each other in whatever kind of relationships.
so what we should call a situation like this? coincidence? unmei (destiny)? or maybe red-string-of-fate?
even if those aren't meant to be real life-together, still nobody couldn't deny the fact that they already deeply-know each other and enjoyed great time together - glowing .. full of happiness.

and for my Chains [e.g erika toda, yoshitaka yuriko, osamu mukai, ikuta toma, tamayama tetsuji, eita, kanata hongo, ishida mirai, tabe mikako, ishida takuya, nagasawa misami etc] .... NO. i'm doing it just for FUN. perhaps only my combi wish to see their chemistry on-screen. they're still young for life partner anyway. more time to find the right person.

so yes.. while i'm talking about i like M-N, O-P and Q-R combi... i'm full aware that yoshitaka yuriko now dating with tamaki hiroshi [* i LIKE it! Love Shuffle!], toda erika with murakami kanjani8s member, eita with kimura kaela, oguri shun with yamada yu. also tamayama tetsuji rumored with chiaki kuriyama. and the best on-off-on pairs: okada junichi-aoi yu [*lurvvvvvve it!] and ninomiya kazunari-nagasawa masami [*i LIKE it too! Yasashii Jikan!].

those my treasure Jbox pairs - no matter how thick the white smoke in my head and how far my imagination gonna crawling.. i still know the difference between the fact, rumor, speculation and wishdream.
i already make myself clear, right?! good ^^

sawamura ikki

2009-12-22T21:53:00.007+08:00

i really love sawamura ikki. yes, he's a good-looking guy with a calm-sweet-cutie-honey smile. i love his other side too. he's well-known as Ero-sama {Mr. Ero} with echii [naughty] behavior. but i never feel offended. thanks to his straight-innocent face. haha. i really enjoy when he came to Shabekuri 007. he supposed just to re-acted a 'doctor-patient' as an example. with his 'stethoscope', he asked the girl to open her clothes. lol. of course, the others quickly stopped him and sawamura just pretended like he got his sanity back. mwahaha, what a hentai :D i really love his personality.

at Bistro SMAP, nakai-kun asked why Ero-sama? instead of answering the question, sawamura just throw a question back like - didn't all SMAP members also being ero too all this time? .. tsk, tsk.

coming from same Ken-On agency, i believe sawamura know sorimachi, takeno, karasawa in-person.. and he's good with miho too. in Tokyo Fun Park, sawamura and miho as the guests doing the games together. sawamura said there's one time when he put a goal to captured miho's heart. lol.

he made a debut in singing as Hataraki Mitsuru.. just for a theme ending song of Hataraki Man.

hilarious! you can just youtube and type HATARAKI MAN ONDO and watch those special dance and funny acts at the end of every episode of Hataraki Man drama. can't believe ne, this handsome oji-san [old man] can be that funny, kakkoii and soft-ero at the same time.

he already acted with all THE LADIES except rena [hopefully in future].
- Ryoma with matsumoto kio [matsu's sister] and matsu takako. sawamura as kio's husband role.
- CA to Oyobi with mizuki arisa
- Gokusen with nakama yukie
- [Kiina] and [Hataraki Man] with kanno miho
- [Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji Season 1], [Grave of Fireflies] and [Toshie to Matsu] with nanako matsushima
- Toshie to Matsu with amami yuki

with THE MEN
- Narita Rikon with kusanagi tsuyoshi
- [Cheap Love], [Wonderful Life] and [Toshie to Matsu] with sorimachi takashi
- [Heaven's Coins 2], [Toshie to Matsu] and [Shotgun Marriage] with takenouchi yutaka
- [Ryoma] and [Ikiru] with matsumoto koshiro [matsu's father]
- Ryoma with ichikawa somegoro [matsu's brother]

oh, he's also a co-host in NHK Kouhaku 2008 as support team.. together with NakaNaka [nakai-nakama] pair. and he's really good on impersonating bruce lee. he did it in many variety shows including Bistro SMAP.

in shabekuri, he talked about matsu who got such a good body posture. while standing imitating her pose, suddenly 'hey taxi!!' .. haha, sawamura simply telling how matsu got a feminine style but behaving strong like a man. lol. somehow all my ladies are like that.. feminine outside but manly-strong inside.

nakamura yasuhi

2009-12-17T07:50:00.009+08:00

i guess my friends might get surprise if they know that i wrote about a-not-so popular supporting actor. hey, what's up.. mitaina. emm, hehe.. let it be. somehow it's quite interesting when i visited his blog. he seems good in taking beautiful scenery and artistic photos.

so, how do i know nakamura yasuhi? arigatou to kimura for introducing yasuhi in Xylish chewing gum. it's one of my favorite commercial as the blue Xylish CM was aired during HERO The Movie period.

yes, during we knew kimura was chewing the gummy and brushing his teeth for how-many-times.. just before the filming for that maru-maru end scene. mwahaha, kissing with amamiya for the first time, really a high tension ne. i remembered all of us keep Gyaaa~ and squealing watching it. and another imagination movie keep playing in my brain, lol.

back to yasuhi.. he was a guest in BOSS drama ep 1.. i love this part too. it was during osawa amami and nodate takeno having snack outside, after nodate asking about kawaii mami-rin erika toda.

oh, i found another interesting fact too. nakamura yasuhi was graduated from MUSASHINO ART UNIVERSITY. musashino.. musashino.. musashino. if u watched matsu takako April Story, you'll get what i mean. it's good to see seichii tanabe [otsuka nene's husband] as her senpai, eguchi yosuke and ibu masato on the cinema's screen.. also matsu's whole real family did cameo.. fujima noriko [matsu's mother] really a gentle woman. btw, nireno matsu from hokkaido.. that's ikuta toma's hometown, deshou.

... see. from a-not-so-popular actor story, i could related it to so many things here. ..

michikata and riho

2009-12-12T05:23:00.008+08:00

Saisei no Machi [Aug-Sep 2009] on NHK channel was not a popular drama. but what did interest me more - the leads were TSUTSUI MICHIKATA and MAKISE RIHO.

flashback to 1992 - where both tsutsui and makise debut drama was "Hatachi no Yakusoku" - it was a hit Fuji TV drama; together with imagaki goro and fukatsu eri. ahaks, somehow there's a funny scene between goro and makise in that drama.

oh, fukatsu eri and makise riho were famous with JR Christmas CMs during 1988-1989.

makise riho still cute and beautiful. who will believed she's already 38 now.
She won a newcomer award for her role in the movie "Tsugumi" (1990) and a best actress award in 2002 for "Turn". Married to fashion designer Nigo end of 2008.

tsutsui michikata - in Asunaro Hakusho and Oda Nobunaga [kimura], Osama no Restaurant [matsumoto koshiro], Shinsengumi [shingo], Around 40 [amami], Ballad movie [tsuyoshi], Ore wa Kimi no Tame ni Kosho shini ni Iku [yosuke kubozuka] and others. The latest, he's in Sazae-san drama with arisa ... hehe, i almost didn't recognize him with that glasses.

namase katsuhisa

2009-11-25T02:10:00.014+08:00

he was born on 13 october 1960. graduated from University Relations, Trade and Industry Department of Doshisha University. His wife is a model Yoko Harimoto. and his mother Ikuse Etsuko is a Chairman of City Council Nishinomiya, Hyogo from Japan Socialist Party. His career widely in various performance of drama, movie, stage play, radio etc.

to me.. namase could be considered as nakama yukie's godfather. they really close like a family. and from all the interviews and stories, seems like nakama took namase as her life adviser.
and yeay, namase-nakama-abe will team up for upcoming movie Trick 3 The Movie.

with matsu [and sanada hiroyuki] in Hamlet 1998 ...

matsu really beautiful [and sexy] in Hamlet.. as Ophelia.
showing her smile and sorrow on the stage..
i do understand and could imagine when kimura said he was stunned by her acting [and doki-doki heartbeat with her attractiveness]. lol, lately i'm so bold with kimumatsu thing.
hikhik, ssyhhh..

i'm happy seeing namase, kohinata and kyoka suzuki [also rinko kikuchi] in japanese adaption of 'Sideways' movie. and the soundtrack performed by jake shimabukuro. hemmm, i always love his ukelele.

he as a guest in ep 9 [amami-takeno] Boss drama, also in [amami] Top Caster drama, [kimura-matsu] LoveGene drama, in [matsu] ROMANCE stage play, in SmaSma [kimura-goro-shingo] Takarazuka skit, and in [mitani koki] Uchoten Hotel movie, and in [nakama yukie] Gokusen-Trick series.

pandora no hako

2009-10-25T16:53:00.002+08:00

yosuke kubozuka in the movie. quite interesting actually.

i'm curious to know more about this novel.
for marriage couple, it'll be Villon's Wife.
for young couple, it'll be Pandora no Hako.
better watch both of those love story.

eguchi yosuke

2009-10-23T20:45:00.006+08:00

eguchi with smap

eguchi in matsu takako's April Story movie.

besides karasawa, i really like eguchi. he's under the same agency with matsu takako.

yosuke kubozuka

2009-10-12T11:00:00.011+08:00

did you watch GTO - Ping Pong - GO! - Laundry?
if you did, you might remember yosuke kubozuka.
i remembered watching him, i was like, 'ooh~ takeno's junior!'. he's so cute.. he was a model for magazines and commercials until he made debut in Kindaichi's Case drama. that's the beginning of his popularity. and it was rising when he held role play as yoshito kikuchi; a smart student in Great Teacher Onizuka series with... who else.. my nanako and sorimachi. remember when both teachers had difficult time to bring him back to school? hehehe. yosuke kubozuka is same age with me... born in 1979. already married and has one son.
how i miss him when he said he wanna quit acting.

few months ago, i was trying to track him back.
and jeng, jeng...what i found?

his press conference in latest 10.10.2009 movie 'Pandora no Hako' which based on Osamu Dazai's novel.
previously he said he gonna quit acting, to concentrate his new career as reggae singer. LOL, trust me, he should do acting and quit singing.
but i'm glad he changed his mind. he could do music career. but he doesn't need to quit acting. put the past back. does he realized he is a gifted actor?
by looking to his appearance, kubozuka hasn't change much.
still cute ...!! yappari, i should crown him as the king of ikemen! ^^
ah, sumimasen ~
more 2007-2009 photos on him.. i miss him so much :)

ryosei konishi

2009-10-07T18:28:00.005+08:00

who is he? i asked.
i just know him because of matsu takako's Jane Eyre.

although i watched japanese Les Miserables previously,
i didn't realize he was the same person, Marius.

since then, i got soft spot on him.. hekhek. although he's not like masatoshi matsuo [the guy who act with rena tanaka in Ganbatte Ikimasshoi movie]. but yeah, ryosei still cute.. especially during jane eyre's rehearsal.

so far, he did well in stage play... hope to see him more on drama and movie.. with tatsuya fujiwara probably.

to-do-list

2009-09-26T23:52:00.000+08:00

- yosuke kubozuka
- ichikawa ebizo, nakamura shido, nakamura kantaro
- yusuke santamaria .. with matsu and nanako
- shoufukutei tsurube .. with nakama and rena

ikuta toma

2009-08-30T01:27:00.006+08:00

how much do i love him? emm, as much as i love my little sis.. hehe.

yeah, both of us love toma. a very very very very nice boy. born in hokkaido...

[sigh] can i have a natural soft lip and soft cheek like him...

i'm lazy to use any moisturizer. XD

how i wish there's a sitcom titled "Everybody Loves Toma".. haha, direct-screenplay by mitani koki, please. that would be interesting. he is one of the few Johny's juniors that i respected most. a true potential actor. the big reason why he could catch my attention is because he works in solo and did some great musical stage plays... like Azumi, Cat in the Red Boots, Grease etc. he's close with Shinkansen (one of a Japanese theater troupe) which also produced matsu takako's 'Metal Macbeth'... a famous Japanese heavy metal version of Shakespeare's musical play.

emm, talking about Metal Macbeth... toma once told us how he approached matsu at the backstage.

as a BIG fan of her, feeling nervous and couldn't say anything except 'suki desu'!
{hehe, yeah.. lisya love both of you too}. not only love matsu's favorite dessert (strawberry chantily)... he even got the staff jacket which he wrote "matsu's soul" on the jacket. LOL, i could see he was sooooo excited talking on and on and on about matsu. hope one day, they will work together.
oh, toma got love from his senpai-s too :)

rena is working with ryo NEWS in special drama, yukie worked few times with matsumoto jun and KATTUN, miho is doing 24-Hours job with NEWS.
hope one day, toma will do some collaboration with the Ladies too.

random catch

2009-08-04T02:20:00.009+08:00

last season of Drama Academy Award...

abe hiroshi, amami yuki, takenouchi yutaka

just some random caps from my stuff... abe hiroshi, takeno and amami.
amami and yuriko.
yamamura (nukumizu youichi)

looking to that young, handsome Abe.. remind me of kimumatsu's talking during HERO SmaBistro 2007. matsu was mocking Abe regarding the cover of his music album. hekhek. and otsuka nene was non-stop laughing. and kimura joining the gossip club. sugoi, it was fun. like nakai said, abe-chan saiko!

combi wish

2009-08-04T02:00:00.005+08:00

since last week, i'm in the middle of organizing stuff and watching old videos...

somehow.. something grab my attention... CATCH!
ah, it's mukai osamu and yoshitaka yuriko.

osamu was in Atashinchi no Danshi team and yuriko was in Shiroi Haru team.
but i really love seeing them sit next to each other.
lovely~ i wish they could be paired up in future drama or movie.

zutto ai takatta

2009-07-31T23:08:00.010+08:00

i'm a big fan of koshiro matsumoto's family.. and i'm following koshiro-san [matsu's father] stuff...
last week, while i was organizing things... i just realize that tamayama tetsuji and erika toda were in koshiro's special drama of "Zutto Ai Takatta".. i was shocked because only now i realized this..

Hee, so my BOSS team members got links with Koshiro-san?!!
i'm happy. yeah, i love them.. whether as a pair or individuals. too bad, i couldn't find this drama.

here, tamayama as an army/navy in year 1944... who had to separate with his wife erika.. i think both were newly-wed couple. tamayama was writing letters to erika at the sea on war aircraft carrier. somehow it's already sunk in Battle of Leyte Gulf; assault by US Force.

16 years passed by, koshiro-san found a small bottle with a letter that was floating in the sea. that letter must be entrusted to the sea in some circumstances during the war. maybe because there's no address.. just name of receiver and sender.. he keep the bottle and letter in a box and forget it later.

time passed again.. koshiro-san accidentally found it again.. inside the old box.
because of sad and frustrated with his family's problem.. he think "he must do something now". feeling the rush, he put a bit of luggage in a small bag, and began hurriedly left the house to search the person. he feel responsible to find the receiver and return the letter to her. from here, a journey of koshiro-san as deliveryman began...

he went to all over places.. osaka, nara, shiga, hiroshima etc... with the help of people around, finding clues. at the same time started to learn the story behind of this letter. especially the ending of tamayama's sad fate.

looks like tamayama really love in his role since he received the script... it's pure and not musshy. at the same time he felt the love between this pair.. the most important person that could change lots of thing in getting life happiness. [hehe, indirectly he means erika, ne].

the drama based on novel by Hattori Yasuhei at age 27 years old.. Koshiro-san said he admired this story.. and even praised the author for writing a wonderful story at that young age.

wish i could watch this.. anyway...
zutto ai takatta.. forever always wanting to be with you.

20090706 nakai super drama festival

2009-07-16T05:17:00.025+08:00

i'm cleaning some stuff.. here few caps of my favorites.
people i love.
nakai-kun, thank you for taking care nana-chan.^^
nakai is so kind to remember eguchi yosuke. he, nanako and yusuke were talking about eguchi's role and their concern regarding the accident. anyhow, eguchi looks genki and healthy when i watched in SP episodes recently.

glad to see these two.. BOSS team members. mizobata junpei and kendo kobayashi.
junpei in Buzzer Beat team. and kobayashi was represent for variety team.
i love kobayashi. hilarious. he also good in singing. wish he could do some musical play one day.

ito hideaki really a cool guy, ne. nakai kept saying how kakkoi hideaki is. he is in Buzzer Beat team. but watching him, how great if he also in Kyumei Byoto team. he was in second season. but once work together with nana in special episode.

Itao Itsuji will be anesthesiologist in Kyumei Byoto. i don't know much about him outside. but looks like he's interesting man. funny with serious face. Kimura Tae will return back. i love her. on-screen she might looks ordinary.. but off-screen, she's so pure beautiful. working many times with nanako and my other treasure Jbox. you should see her with nanako, takeno, nakajima tomoko and toru nakamura in Ice World drama.

tsuyoshi was genki here. but not same like TBS All-Stars last year. thinking back, i was laughing actually. nobody could cheer kusanagi tsuyoshi as STRONG as tanaka rena, right. last time, rena was shouting "Gambatte!".. so loud which make everybody were turning to her. i love to see tsuyoshi reply with yasashii smile. even commentator was suddenly focusing on tsurena.. and rena was given big spotlight with mic and cam.^^ anyway, in this show.. i could hear nakai-kun giving his support at the back.

meanwhile nanako is beautiful, looks young and fresh. she failed with archery game. but somehow it's lovely to see her reaction.

nana really adorable.
she'll laugh to all nakai and yusuke's jokes.
closing her mouth and face... soooo cute!
watching nanako matsushima in nakai super drama festival really remind me of nakama yukie in the same program early this year. last time, yukie was so adorable in nakanaka mode. i kept gyaa gyaa in all nakanaka moments. imagine nakai-yusuke as the hosts and nanako-yukie as the guests. iyaargh, shiawase!

in the quiz game, from small screen... i could see nanako really hardworking doing the counting even she's at the back. despite to her level of status, she looks so kind and friendly with young stars too. really, i admire her modesty.

i love nakai and yusuke. gosh, yusuke santamaria can't stop talking! even when his team were seriously nervous doing the quiz, yusuke was busily talking with nakai. LOL. and he was close with nana too. last time in SmaBistro, nakai nearly lost his position. coz yusuke already overtook the talk. i think one day, yusuke should be the bistro owner and nakai returns in his pink clothes as Banana Chef :P.
yusuke failed in pin bowling. i was crack to see his confidence. nana was even trying to scold him by showing to the score board, but as soon as yusuke defending himself.. nana can't stop laughing. In SmaBistro, nanako said she didn't have any hobby or nothing much to do during free time. but i think she just being down-to-earth. do you know nanako matsushima really pro with bowling? she could even do it non-stop for long hours.

J and K

2009-07-10T08:46:00.016+08:00

the most frequent question people asked me...
whether i'm watching korean or not.

somehow i feel funny with the question.
i know korean waves still big in my country.
much easy to find korean stuff than japanese stuff.

fine. i do watch korean.. but not thru mainstream line - like TV channels or magazines or pay-box satellite antenna. no. no. if i feel i wanna watch something.. i'll search, read and watch it online. or the most easy way.. is to ask my little sis. since long ago, both of us do have non-verbal policy. she's taking care korean stuff.. while me doodling and digging japanese stuff. and at the end of the week, we'll exchanging everything.

i don't have problem listening to any music or watching any variety shows. however in term of "fan-thing", i always limit myself to very LIMITED K-artists, actors and actresses.
and i still put the same policy: loyalty. and i'm not following wave trend which normally searching for new faces, new names and new sounds.
same like treasure Jbox, i choose K-people with a reasonable thinking that i'll treasure them for the whole of my life. and the important thing is... i choose them because a close links/connections with my J-people especially my "treasure Jbox".

- choi ji woo
- shinhwa
- ss501
- younha
- ryu shi won
- ryu

- choi ji woo, ryu, ryu shi won, shinhwa, ss501 already appeared few times with my smap members.
- choi ji woo paired with takeno in "Rondo"
- younha was acting in somegoro's movie "Next Sunday".
- ryu si won was acting in yukie's drama "Joshi Deka".
- yoon son ha appeared as cameo in kimura's drama "Good Luck" and as a guest star in goro's drama "Busu no Hitomi".
- park yong ha appeared as a guest star in yukie's drama "Tokyo Wankei". in tokyo fun park 2003, tsuyoshi answering quiz game about park yong ha, perfectly.
- lee byung hun as a guest star in kimura-matsu-koshiro's HERO movie.
- lee wan and jang hyuk did cameo in tsuyoshi-rena "Ryokiteki na Kanojo" drama. {but somehow i'm more excited with jang hyuk of windstruck}
- kim sun ah is a fan of yutaka takenouchi.

i love when ryu si won became a middle man between nakanaka pair.. in utaban, he delivered message from yukie to nakai.. and nakai's feedback? informal proposal to change nakaMA with nakaI - to be yukie nakai. muahaha, i love the name. as much as i love takako kimura. park sol mi appeared in tsuyoshi's pusma 2008 New Year SP. the same episode with matsu and yukie at different time space. i can considered park sol mi as matsu's fan. she watched matsu's works [drama, stage play etc] and become a fan.. then turned to be a friend. if not mistaken, they even exchanged messages/letters/flowers few times.
first time, yoon son ha came to Bistro.. she said she watched RabuJene drama many times.. and kimura nod feeling honored. then, she did cameo in Good Luck drama coz she said she's a fan of him. when matsu was filming Itsumo Futari de drama, yoon son ha came to studio just to greet, shake hands and getting signature... i was laughing to see son ha. she was so nervous, nearly exploded with happiness.. hee, really nice to see her fan-girling towards matsu. at her apartment.. the first thing she did, was tune on matsu's music. she really love all matsu's songs. and on the refrigerator, there were some paper cutting of kimura's photos. muaahaha, i'm crack! yoon son ha is a BIG FAN of kimuramatsu! emm, what should i say... welcome to my world. ^_________^

if si won can be considered as nakanaka shipper, i think son ha can playing the same too as kimumatsu shipper. and lee byung hun.. i'm glad with his line. his one line was actually a big momentum for me to see the most-awaited development of kuryukimura-amamiyamatsu relationship. ..... ah yes, i love shinhwa and ss501. their individuals' unique and different personalities remind me of smap. but same like smap, i've no preference.. i love 'em as a whole group. and my little sis love big bang too.
now i wonder, if there's any korean rock band could rank the same par with my super B'z.

Ikeuchi Hiroyuki

2009-06-23T03:04:00.016+08:00

do you still remember Kunio Murai in GTO?
suddenly i feel wanna write about this Ikeuchi Hiroyuki.

long ago.. during GTO period.. media asked him about sorimachi.
ikeuchi shortly replied "Atsui!" (Hot!)..
hehe, yeah... onizuka sensei really hot, na :)

when i watched Ryokiteki na Kanojo, i was like.. aa, Riko's fiancee looks like Ikeuchi, na...
but i became shocked to know that man was really Ikeuchi!
usoo.. why he's so chubby?

Ikeuchi-san seems working with my several 'treasure Jbox'.. let's see:
GTO [nanako-sorimachi], Beautiful Life [kimura], Chuushingura 1/47 [kimura-matsu], Shinsengumi [shingo], Sengoku Jietai [sorimachi], Dazai Osamu Monogatari [miho], Ryokiteki na Kanojo [tsuyoshi-rena].
oh, his first foreign movie... ip man. and i love him in charisma movie.

do you know that he was in Seven Souls in the Skull Castle stage play with my somegoro and suzuki anne :)

btw, ikeuchi was in GTO series and rena in GTO movie..
somehow both of them once work together in Glico Pocky CM long ago.

Kita no Kurikara

2009-06-22T23:11:00.016+08:00

i re-watched Fuji50 Drama Behind Drama.. emm, i miss Takeno's smile. that's why.
until the part when the host introduced the special guests: tanaka kunie, nakajima tomoko and.. [ah, sumimasen.. who's the other person.. director-san ka]. When the guests came, everybody were standing and clapping their hands; giving their honor.

Tanaka Kunie is a famous veteran actor.. if not mistaken, he was about five times nominated for Japanese Academy Award. I love him.. coz [1] he was starring with Tsuyoshi in "Yoomigaeri", with Tsuyoshi-Miho in "Kaikyo wo Wataru Violin" and with Shingo in "Shinsengumi". [2] his interesting character, which SMAP love to imitate especially Shingo - frequently did in SxS skits, concert, bistro oishii reaction.

Nakajima Tomoko also my favorite actress although i seldom watching her now. She was acting with Rena in "Ganbattee Ikkimashoi" movie, with Somegoro in "Rocket Boys", with Nanako-Takeno in "Ice World-Koori no Sekai" drama.

they're talking about "Kita no Kurikara" drama. VTR was shown up.. flashback the scenes and behind the story. so what is so special about it, you might wonder.

"Kita no Kurikara" series and eight SP dramas were on-aired since year 1981 until year 2002 [1981, 1983, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2002]. The final episode [2002] is still holding the highest record 38.4% rating - beating all other FujiTV dramas like LongVac, HERO, Odoru Daisousasen or so whatever.

It's about Kuroita's family in the town of Furano in Hokkaido. At that time, Hokkaido, northernmost of the Japanese islands, is still full of wilderness. Goro Kuroita (Tanaka Kunie) comes to this wild country with his son Jun and his daughter Hotaru after divorcing his wife in Tokyo. The family settles just outside of Furano, a small town in the center of Hokkaido, to start a new life.Starting from young Yoshioka Hidetaka (Jun) and Nakajima Tomoko (Hotaru), you could see both of them growing up in the series. Narrated by Jun, the tale follows the lives of two children torn between their parents and their parents' divorce. Those kids grow and mature in the harsh climates of Hokkaido, and learn the ways of life through their interaction with the folk of Furano. The series depicts the everyday life of this family and change which appeared in the minds of the children as to what "civilization" really means.
The screenwriter is Kuramoto Sao. aah, i just realized this man also wrote one of my favorite drama "Yasashii Jikan" [casts: ninomiya-nagasawa].

i feel amazed actually when the VTR showing the scene where Tanaka Kunie fell down to the snowy ground.. the temperature at that time was -50 celcius degrees. hee, majide?! but i think kunie-san was mentally-prepared to think it's not cold, it's just -30 celcius degrees.

but somehow, the best part was the scene of Chii Takeo. He's crying for real, almost non-stop during the filming. While the VTR showing back the scene... i could see people at studio were sooo quiet, and all the star guests were paying their attention.

and i could see nanako matsushima's eyes were glittering, touching her nose, holding herself..

unexpectedly, mitani koki was also crying... wiping his tears under his glasses.

esumi makiko? oh, she was the earliest person who flooded with tears...

oh btw, miyazawa rie also appeared few times in this series. i also love the music. enough to waver your heart. too bad, i couldn't find the VCD anymore.. but i believe "Kita no Kuni Kara" is one of the best human drama.. lucky to those who could treasure it.

Yuriko Yoshitaka

2009-06-13T17:35:00.010+08:00

Many guys asked me about young and cute actress.. em, frankly i dunno who i'll suggest. there are so many young actresses out there. e.g: maki horikita, inoue mao, ishihara satomi, toda erika, kato rosa, shihori kanjiya etc....

But i think since last year, after watching "Ashita no Kita Yoshio".. I started pay attention to YURIKO YOSHITAKA. i love her interaction with kohinata fumiyo and matsuda ryuhei. later on, she was in "Love Shuffle" pair up with matsuda shota and tamaki hiroshi. emm, personally i prefer Big Brother Ryuhei than Young Brother Shota.

On-screen: i kinda love her acting. Her career was starting with movie not drama. And she won Best Newcomer for her movie debut.
Off-screen: amazingly, i didn't annoyed with her cuteness. she's not perfectly beautiful. but at least her appearance and behavior is not fake. she didn't try hard to control her manner. but still it's cute. that's what i like. but i'm looking forward in future whether i'll keep on loving her more and more or not. for now, yes... RECOMMENDED :D

after acting with kohinata-san, she was acting with Abe-chan (abe hiroshi)... another my beloved Josai team member.

takeno in IiTomo Spring SP

2009-06-13T14:55:00.014+08:00

I was cleaning my hard disk, last night.. Decided to take caps of Takeno in IiTomo 2009 Spring SP. He was there for BOSS team. Takeno seldom appeared in any variety shows. Almost none. His appearance on TV only for serious interview.. for dramas/movies promo. After watching him in a very very old variety show, I think I could understand this kind of 'phobia'. After all, my Takeno is a shy guy.. who is prefer to spend time with nature and countryside.

Somehow, I really want him to attend SMABistro, or any Nakai's variety/game shows. Coz I know, only Nakai could turn him on. No one else. I hope he will keep acting in FujiTV drama. More FujiTV means more promo and games.

Last time he came to Fuji 50th Drama SP, then to Waratte IiTomo.. and next time, he might be come for his new drama with Karasawa :) I remember Nakai asked Takeno and he replied that it's his first time to be in this kind of game show. Takeno wasn't participate much.. haha. I guess he's not good in quiz games as those need some general knowledge about J-entertainment people. But still I could see him enjoying himself with his smile and laugh. Step by step na... once he's getting familiar with all of this, he'll be active and showing his true color.

Oh, while the hosts Tamori and Nakai were busy with other teams... takeno and amami were getting spotlight by camera. haha, what are they doing actually...? :P takeno and amami are considered old friends. both still working with ToyoTires, and both were appeared in each other dramas. And they will still working in Fumo Chitai drama.

Regarding BOSS drama, it's already 9th episode now.. 2 more episodes left.. the ratings not bad - average between 18% to 15%. Unexpectedly better than other FujiTV spring dramas :)

..............................................................................................

emm, i'm at hometown now... and i forget to bring my notebook.

[dammit, should i shoot my head..]

the 2K - karasawa and kimura.. this pair will act together for the next Fuji dorama.

thanx to kimura for winning the quiz.

look at the small frame.. when karasawa waving his hand to yamaguchi.. i was wild KYAAAA`. oh, for those who dunno.. karasawa and yamaguchi is well-known lovely husband and wife.

in LongVaca drama, kimura and yamaguchi talking about rubber ball.

which remind me of kimura's kisu song in
Sanma Smap 2003 [guest matsu]... Lalalala song.

see, my takeno, my karasawa and my kimura.... watching them hugging.

behind scene of Under One Roof drama.. really, chooo funny.

oh, matsu also in the sequel.. with her ex-bf koji.

matsu-koji were dating later
[end year 2000 after ochepi stage play until 2001].

interesting fact; even now..

koji-kimura still good friends.. since Karei Naru Ichizoku dorama.

anyway, love to see my eguchi and my kimumatsu.

in this program... eguchi, karasawa, kimura got lots of dramas' coverage.

i just realised the friendship of karasawa-eguchi is same like sorimachi-takeno.

next, my karasawa and my kimumatsu.

HERO got big spotlight.. the VTR presented 3 great; meaningful ad-libs done in the series.
and it's not rumor anymore.. HERO 2 will coming to town. yeayy.

staffs and kimura just waiting for matsu's schedule...
hemm, i tell you.. that bionic woman [matsu] really dunno how to rest. sugoii..

after eguchi, karasawa.. next.. my sorimachi and my kimumatsu.

after eguchi, karasawa, sorimachi.. next.. my takeno and my kimumatsu.

during HERO vtr.. kimura was doing something obvious..

at first i was confused.. later i realised what he actually doing. haha.. baka.

while people in the middle of 'Water Boys 2' discussion..

suddenly Tsuyoshi asked about HERO.
unexpected question at unexpected time.
KYAA` yes yes yes we want to know.

but somehow both kimura-matsu answered it in Circle.

what else.. emm, my sweet sorimachi-takeno

Talk: Yashima Norito and George Lucas

2008-09-09T03:22:00.000+08:00

"Western de Shabera Night" Interview on 23 July 2008
Yashima Norito (YN) and George Lucas (GL)
"

YN: I'm very nervous because I was a great fan of yours since I was a kid. Nine years old or 10 years old. Your movie...scale of your movie...always big. But they feel leal...real. Why? Why...?
GL: Well, because in my films.. I'm very, very interested in the characters.
And even though they may be in a very big adventure, I still focus primarily on the characters themselves. And they're all characters that are... you know, not perfect. So they're more interesting to watch.

So it's not the latest technology that Lucas cares about, it's the characters!

YN: You're famous for technology and special effects. But your movie's characters are very human. And full of humor. How do you find a good balance? Technology and human, digital or analog.

GL: Well, what I do primarily is tell stories. So I'm a storyteller. I just happen to use the film medium to do it.

And stories are generally about characters.
Stories are about people and that sort of thing.
Using film is a very technological, very....
Well, technological is the only word I can use. Art is technological.
It's all about inventions of how to do things better.
And movies are even more advanced....

YN: More advanced?

GL: They're more advanced in terms of, it's a very technological medium.

It's very complicated technologically, how you make a movie work. Even in the beginning. So everything you do to advance it, to make it easier to tell stories, you have to invent or move forward the technology involved.

In theater, when they invented the proscenium arch, the arch which is around the theater with the curtain. But when Shakespeare was writing, he didn't have that.

So it was very....
Most of his work was involved in trying to get actors on and off the stage.

So if you read Shakespeare you'll see that there's very complicated and intricate ways of getting people to move around and move on and off the stage to change the scenes. Because they didn't have a curtain to go up and down.

So that invention, which was a technological invention, moved forward theater. Just like what I do in special effects moves forward cinema.

Cutting-edge technology, driven by the spirit of Shakespeare!
That allows Lucas to look deep into human nature.

Talk: Mizuno Miki and Jackie Chan

2008-09-09T02:35:00.000+08:00

"Western de Shabera Night" Interview on 21 July 2008
Mizuno Miki (MM) and Jackie Chan (JC)
"

MM: I've watched your films right back to Drunken Master. And I feel what's special about your action scenes is that you always link action and acting.

JC: Action movie.. people always think it's violent. In the movie you can tell: drink, fight, drink, fight.
That's the wrong message. That's the wrong message.

Through myself I have to tell the world, tell my audience, martial art is not about drinking.
It's not about fighting; but against fighting.
Whatever you learn in a martial art is to protect, not attack.
So when I fight, with heart, I fight with love, I fight with comedy, humor, I fight with education.
There are so many things inside.

MM: I really feel your message from your movie.
JC: Thank you.

MM: Also the training scene was very funny.
JC: The training scene.... When I was young, a hundred times tougher than him.
Yeah, we get up like four thirty...five o'clock. We run with water. With water in the hands, we run.
The water cannot spill out. The teacher will hit you.
And upside down for one hour, kicking 1,000, punch 500.
Sometimes, when you do this [pose]: Stop, one hour.

MM: One hour!
JC: Yeah, stop one hour.
And the teacher put the ashtray on your knee. You're crying....
MM: Very hard.
JC: Yeah!

Just like an elegant swan's busy paddling is hidden from view, all that fun action conceals a tough struggle!

JC: The young generation, right now, in big countries, especially in Japan, Hong Kong, America, England, Europe, children cannot take the pain. When you go to the school, "Peow!" "Ow! I'm gonna sue you!"
They cannot take the punishment. Not like me. We can handle this kind of thing.
You learn a martial art, you learn discipline.

Each warrior learns the Way. Miki has stirred the heart of Jackie's passion.
