I received Hanakimi DVD boxes from Amazon.
I haven't watched the drama discs yet, but I watched the special discs.

The special disc of Box 2 is wonderful!
It has full version of cheer dance and the scene was shot with four angles,
so we can watch four patterns of cheer scene.

I like angle 2.

There are some interviews of the casts in the special disc.

I enjoyed the discs very much.

Now I am having a break after doing some of my homework.

I've found a blog where there are some wallpapers for cell-phones.
Hachikuro Wallpapers are pretty.

I watched Hachikuro dramas at last!
I like the 3rd episode best so far.

I bought February 8 issues of TV Guide and The Television and I enjoyed them.
A new series of Hachikuro special topics will start in TV guide from Feb. 15 issue.

I bought the reprint edition comics of Hachikuro.
There are the interviews and photos of the casts in these comics.
Toma is in the second volume.




I haven't read them yet.
I haven't watched the drama either though I recorded them.

The other casts of Hachikuro were announced today.
This is the official announcement by Fuji TV.

I think male casts are good, but female casts are 微妙(bimyou)...kana...?
I mean I'm not sure if the actresses are good for the characters.

Mukai Makoto played Kikuchi in Nodame Cantabile, Masashi Senpai in Banbi~no!
and he appears in Abarenbo Mama every Tuesday 9 o'clock now.

Perhaps you know Narimiya Hiroki well.
He played Rosalind in As You Like It, Ninagawa's Shakespeare stageplay with Oguri.
Some famous dramas he was in:Kisaradu Cats Eye, Gokusen 1, Stand Up!, Orange Days, Kareinaru Ichizoku, Sushi Oji! etc.
Toma and Narimiya has already been good friends.

I don't know Kashiwabara Takashi very well.
He is an elder brother of Kashiwabara Shuji, who played Proteus in Two Gentlemen of Verona. He was in many dramas and movies and CM.

Harada Natsuki played the ex girlfriend of Nanba Minami in episode 5 of Hanakimi.

Seto Asaka is the bride of Inocchi (Inohara Yoshihiko, V6).
I have an image of "tough, strong woman" on her.
She was in Life.


I am sure Toma will get along well with these people and they can work in good atmosphere!

此れは　犯　罪　です。
だっておかしいじゃないですか。
璃子ちゃんは中三(15)で斗真は23なんですよ!?

来年の一月、斗真がドラマにでます。パチパチパチ

「ハチミツとクローバー」　　

二人とも大好きなんで楽しみです♪


Toma will be in "Hachimitsu To Kuroba (Honey and Clover)" next January.
Isn't it a crime? (laugh
Toma(23) will fall in love with Riko(15).
Riko is just one year older than I.
Anyway, I love both Toma and Riko.
I am looking forward to seeing Toma in a lot of magazines and TV promotion.

Hanakimi DVD will be on sale on January 9, 2008.
There are two boxes.
Each has 4 discs, and one of the discs will be "特典-tokuten".
I don't know how to say "tokuten" in English.
Perks? Benefits? Award?

At the moment, Amazon sells them at the cheapest price.

Some people say in their blogs Toma and Shun watched
Ninagawa's Othello together yesterday.
I don't know if it is true or not, but Toma said he was going to watch
a stageplay in yesterday's Tomagoto.

A-san sent me some clippings of TV Guide.
No more Toma there.
There are a lot of photos of Hey Say Jump and Akanishi Jin.
I'm not interested in any dramas in this autumn season.

Hana yori dango will be made into a movie.
Its name is "Hana yori dango -Final-".
I want to see Oribe Jyunpei again in the movie.

I found this on the net news.
(I forgot what it is. Gendai? Sanspo?)

I love the 7th episode best so far.
The story was about heart-breaking one-side love from
Nakatsu to Mizuki.
Toma appeared in many scenes.

I bought "an an" last week. You can see this issue of "an an"
in Hanakimi next week. Mizuki, Sano, Nakatsu and Nanba will
be models for "an an" in the 8th episode.
You can see the magazine here.
This is a blog by Shun's fan. It is subarashii

I hear that Toma appeared in a video on a TV show which is
broadcasted only in Tokyo. (I coundn't watch it.)
They talked about Toma's stageplay "Two Gentlemen of Verona".
There were Toma's comment and the shooting scene of the booklet for the stageplay.
Toma looks very very cool!!


There is a rumor that Inagaki Goro(SMAP) will be in Hanakimi!

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a long time.
As I'm on sumer vacation, I have been lazy and relax.

I want to talk passionately about "Hanakimi", so I'm going to write it in Japanese.
