Congrats to the Maou cast, they really swept the awards! Omedetou gozaimasu O-chan! A very deserving win for Best Actor!

becky_49

Omedetou gozaimasu!! Maou swept all the awards! So happy for O-chan, it was a very deserving win!

becky_49

I've been avoiding this thread in fear that I wouldn't be able to resist clicking on the spoilers' tabs and ruining the storyline for myself. :-( But now that Maou's done, it's been interesting reading everyone else's comments. Generally speaking, Ohno and Toma did an amazing job in the series. Ohno...

becky_49

Oooh...lots of pages to look through later, but quick question - Is there a casual form of saying 'thanks'? I've noticed that on interviews and shows, if someone is praising another person or making a nice comment, the person rarely replies 'arigatou'. Instead, it sounds something like 'ah uush'. :s...

becky_49

Himitsu was just priceless with the Nissin Maou CM! Poor Ohno looked like he was ready to cry before the rest of Arashi revealed the prank! Too cute! PON!

becky_49

I'm not sure how accurate these translations are, but I've tried translating pieces that I understand: Earlier on, Mao-chan went to Oda Kazumasa's LIVE concert. (He's the one who sang the First Kiss themesong). Mao was very nervous meeting him in his dressing room after the show. -------------------...

becky_49

Majide? No thread for O-chan?!

Maou looks really intense! Can't wait to see more of it! Ganbatte Riida!

becky_49

The song sounds really catchy! Keio-boy is at it again with his Sakurap! Can't wait to see him in caster form at the Olympics! The Yatterman outfit is also very cute too. =)

becky_49

Anyone else watch Arashi perform One Love on Music Station? Their choreography was just...

It was like a mix of magic tricks/miming/air traffic controlling dance moves. Hmm...the song is addicting, but maybe they need to rethink dancing bit.

becky_49

Wow, this thread hasn't been active in months! Regardless, since it's still the 17th my time:

Nino-kun, お誕生日おめでとう!

becky_49

If anyone's interested reading the subs to Himitsu no Arashi chan episode 9 (where Mao had guested), here's a link to jliann's Livejournal page. Thanks so much!

Arashi Around Asia 2008 with stops in Taipei, Seoul and Shanghai! Sugoi!!

I wonder if I can get myself to either Taipei or Shanghai in the fall?

becky_49

Even if they're just rumours, it's still something to look forward to! It would be nice to see familiar faces like Shota and Nino.

Also can't wait to see Mao on another episode of Himitsu! So much to look forward to the next couple of weeks!~

becky_49

I saw that episode! Mao looked so cute being mad at Jun!

I think the last part she said something like: "私絶対認めない! 待ってなさいよ!" With my limited Japanese expertise, I think it was along the lines of "I absolutely won't acknowledge this, you just wait and see!"

becky_49

All the others members were saying that Aiba just wanted to take a bath with Sho. :lol Nino was the one that accompanied Sho to the hospital. It seems like it's not a big injury and the cast can come off in a couple of weeks. But poor Sho, they were making fun of him since they can't perform group d...

becky_49

Poor Sho-chan broke this thumb before the Nagoya concert! He fell off the stage during rehearsal. Apparently according to Nino, Sho fell like a cannon! His entire right arm is in a cast now!

But no worries, Aiba was saying that he'll help Sho out in the bath.

becky_49

ats , the movie didn't seem too scary. I was more scared of the gore towards the end of the film than I was with the ghost bit. But then again, I was probably concentrating too much on reading the poorly translated subtitles than I was on the scary parts! Another month till HYD! Can't wait for the ...

becky_49

I just finished watching Kaidan. I was so happy when I found a copy at a DVD store but when I popped it into the player, all the English subs were messed up! It was like a regurgitated Babelfish version! :cry: But luckily there were Chinese subs! (Although they weren't that great either). Mao looked...

becky_49

Mao won another award! This was taken from Tokyograph : The presentation ceremony of the 16th Hashida Awards for television took place on Saturday. The newcomer awards, which always receive the most attention, were given this year to actor Shun Oguri and actress Mao Inoue for their performances in d...

becky_49

I like the wallpapers too! Can't wait to see HYD! I hope there'll be more promotions and appearances in the coming weeks. No Tsubaki? I remember reading that Matsushima Nanako had given birth to her second daughter around the time HYD was filming, so maybe they had to cut her out? That's too bad tho...

becky_49

Oh Sakurai...I love watching him on Asazuba too LOL!
The Sakuraiba moment in the dressing room was priceless! Arashi needs to get pranked more!

becky_49

Anyone listening to the Dream A Live album? So happy for Arashi - two new shows, a new album and a tour!

becky_49

Wow...thanks for all that on Hanaikusa! I'd love to see it properly with subs.

NG clips were funny. Was Jun calling Mao's dad Susumu? Couldn't catch any of the dialogue.

ps. KurosakiKaien: I'm from Toronto.

becky_49

Waahhh...can't believe I almost missed it! Happy Birthday Hiro!!!

So excited to see his drama! And must I say I second that - his english is really sexy!

becky_49

biniBningPunkista : I actually haven't been on much. Not a lot of news on Mao, so I've been here quietly reading. Love your ToMao fic though, I've been reading on Winglin. zi91 : Ebisu was amazing! I went there once in the morning and once at night. I'll post pics if anyone wants to see. Too bad I ...

becky_49

TFP was hilarious! Yes, it was too bad they were so bad at darts! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/sparkles_n15/tfp01.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/sparkles_n15/tfp02.jpg No Sakurai, but these pics are priceless: Riidaa...sheer confusion! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/spa...

becky_49

Did anyone watch Tokyo Friend Park? Arashi was tooooo funny! And they were so good with the games too!

I came across this the other day at Harajuku Station. Guess who's front and centre?

becky_49

Hi Minna san! Not much Mao news lately eh? She looks really pretty the CM photos. I was just in Ebisu a couple days ago. No HYD action, but it was really cool standing in the same spot! Here's a poster for Anmitsu Hime that was framed inside the Fuji TV building! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j2...

becky_49

Is Sho a Hip Hop Boogie kinda person? Heehee...

becky_49

becky_49

Arashi announced a 5 dome tour starting in May!!! Plus word of a new album coming out in April! Can't wait!!

becky_49

Arashi on Tokyo Friend Park March 31st!!! I'll be in Japan at that time!!! (Err....not like I could get tickets anyway) I wonder what they're promoting?

Did anyone watch News Zero? They were showing Oh-chan's Freestyle Exhibition. Our #1 nerdy news broadcaster was also there!

becky_49

I'm sure Sho exercises...or else that will be the end of Tony and James!! He's just not very flexible. Hehehe...

becky_49

LOL!! Engrish! Shun wasn't in it that much, it was mostly Ito Hideaki. But that movie was sooooo hilarious!! Has it been officially released yet? I really want to get my hands on it, I only saw it because it was playing at a film festival.

becky_49

Yes, Yamada Tarou days were better for Nino's hair. Sakuraiba looks very good though.

Last episode of Mago Mago...didn't they show a clip where Ohno starts crying? So sweet!

becky_49

Here's an additional little excerpt from Apple Daily : Mao arrived in Hong Kong on February 12th with six other crew members. They're in HK filming scenes for the upcoming HYD movie. Although the company had arranged for ten security guards to escort her out of the airport, it was a little unnecessa...

becky_49

If the show is dub in Mandarin or Cantonese, are the actors still using their original voice, or someone else is speaking for their characters. For instance, if the show is originally in Mandarin, but is dub in Cantonese, will the dubbing be done by the original cast of actors and actresses? That w...

becky_49

Thanks for the pics!!

Oh Sakurai...the panic on his face when he was sinking in the white goo!! Priceless!! I want to see the full episode of Shukudai kun!

becky_49

It kind of depends, cause sometimes you have collaboration projects between Mainland China and Hong Kong. The mainland actors will film in mandarin and HK actors will film in cantonese, then they'll dub over it depending on where they're airing. The major television company in HK is called TVB, so a...

becky_49

I got it off yuckie-chan's LJ! This was one she subbed herself, I think it was posted a week ago. Happy watching! =)

becky_49

Hahaha...I guess everyone's just here because the other threads are hard to find! I didn't mind the preppy look of the Step and Go video. How come Aiba's always in the green though? LOL, but the outfit's definitely better than what he has to wear for GRA! Back to my Sakurai, I just saw an old G no A...

becky_49

Full version of PV is up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJbWf34i9Ag

My daily dose of Sakurap and Aibaka-ness! Notice they didn't make Sho do a back handspring? Heehee... And what is that thing Nino's drapping over his shoulders?

becky_49

Aww...poor Mirrorman to be all ignored like that! If I were to see him out on the streets, I'd give him a hug!

Any idea who's hosting this new variety show? Is it all of them like Shukudai kun?

becky_49

Yes...aren't we females all jealous of Sho's legs? Hehehe....I still like his chesuto the best though!

becky_49

Hahaha...Amanda Bynes? I'm pretty sure she's not 12 yrs old, but she wears a ton of makeup when you see her in person. Not natural enough like Mao to be Makino. Speaking of which, what's the latest on HYD?

becky_49

@becky_49 - i love that photoshoot and i love your ava! ^^ kawaii ~~ Thanks dirujjj ! I had to go out and buy the magazine just for the pics! Except they sell it here for 3 times as much as if I were to buy it in Japan! :x Did everyone see the latest version of the AU cm? I love the Sho x Ohno inte...

becky_49

Sho sounds so cute speaking English! It's not perfect, but not as accented to the point where I can't understand what he's saying! I would love for them to do an episode of Shukudai kun in English! Him and Aiba would run the show!

becky_49

I was trying to search for some news on Mao and HYD, but nothing new came up. This was the latest from baidu with any relevance to HYD: Japanese version Tsukushi successfully moving up - Handmade chocolates melts hearts January 21, 2008 Last year, Inoue Mao gained tremendous popularity with her role...

becky_49

becky_49

NOOO....I'm a day late!!

Otanjoubi omedetou Sho-kun!!!

Wow...I was totally drooling when I saw that pic of him!! I can't wait to get my hands on March's Popolo.

becky_49

Ooohh...Hong Kong and Vegas then? I wonder what scenes they'll shoot in HK? Probably some touristy places like Causeway Bay, TST, the Peak...or maybe go to HK Disney since Mao loves the rides! Vegas would be nice for a wedding as long as they don't make it tacky. Like, no Elvis priest or anything! L...

becky_49

Here's the staff diary again, rephrased slightly better: The Hana Yori Dango Final cast and crew had a meeting a few days ago. The meeting turned into a dinner party as they celebrated Mao-chan's 21st birthday. A curly haired Doumyoji, F4, and the original staff were all there. (insert sentence I co...

becky_49

Haven't been here all day, but I hope I'm not too late to wish Mao-chan a happy birthday!

becky_49

no problem kozi-kun ! :-) Someone posted on the HYD LJ cause they went to Japan and visited a bunch of places from JDramas and there are some HYD locations on it! Check it here: http://chochajin.livejournal.com/126337.html Ebisu Garden Place and Ueno Zoo :cheers: WOW!!! I've been to that EXACT same...

I wonder if English subs will take long to come out...maybe I'll watch it in Chinese then.

becky_49

Maybe if they're filming in NYC again there will be some sentimental value? They can still enjoy the winter there if they begin filming those scenes soon.

Perhaps Makino's going to HK to pursue her law degree? I wonder if there'll be a frenzy at the airport if Mao + F4 all go to HK? Hehe...

becky_49

I see the thread moved...I'm sure we'll all still be supporting Mao!

For the overseas filming of HYD, did they actually say the dates of when she'll be in HK/US? I thought in the manga there were side trips to Canada...hmm....

Can't wait to see Anmitsu Hime! Hope the ratings do well!

becky_49

Uh, so did she die? I think it's safe to say she didn't die. :P Here are some animated gifs I made from the last episode. I hope by now everyone's seen it! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/sparkles_n15/first_kiss_pt1.gif http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j295/sparkles_n15/first_kiss_pt2.gif

becky_49

Gosh, I can't believe this drama actually did worse than Sapuri , which was pretty bad already. Yikes. Think we can blame on the lack of promotion? I really liked the kiss scene too! I love how hesitant they were at first. AHAHA. I wonder how many takes it took to perfect it. :P I'm also REALLY GLA...

becky_49

I saw pics from Yuta's blog of him playing the guitar. Does he sing as well? He seems like he's multi-talented! Too bad I can't read a word of Japanese, or else I've love to read his blog entries. I wonder if he has new projects lined up since First Kiss is over now.

becky_49

First Kiss is only my second jdrama to date so I can't say for certain if it's up to 'standards'. In my opinion though, I didn't find it a boring series. True the script was a bit weak, but I think the acting made up for it. I think the problem with a lot of jdramas is that they air only once a week...

becky_49

I didn't find his English terrible, but he didn't really speak that much in the movie to begin with. More of the 'cool cowboy' character - less talk, more action type. And also, there were English subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Usually if they place subtitles I'd read it anyway, even though ...

becky_49

Just watched Sukiyaki at the Toronto filmfest last night. It was very very good! Super hilarious and Ito was very dashing as a cowboy! It was kinda strange watching a Japanese movie with the actors speaking in English, but totally funny at the same time. I'd love to see it again when it comes out in...

becky_49

I've watched the movie twice, raw the first time, and with Chinese subs the second time. The movie was beautifully filmed; I especially loved the scenes that took place at the school and on the grass fields. And needless to say, Matsujun is a great actor. I loved the part near the end where they pla...

becky_49

What happened at the end of Ep. 09?

The part where

I totally could not catch a word of dialogue from there.

becky_49

I just finished watching Ep. 09 but I had no idea what was going on. Could anyone help with a brief summary?

becky_49

Are the Chinese subs soft or hard? Could you tell me where you found it? I've been looking everywhere and I couldn't find it.

becky_49

Are the Chinese subs soft or hard? Could you tell me where you found it? I've been looking everywhere and I couldn't find it.

becky_49

Episode 7 was so cute!

I love those screens from Episode 8 as well! Can't wait for the subs to come out...I wonder what will happen when Mio leaves for L.A?

becky_49

Quick question about the filming since it was brought up earlier -

Is the filming for First Kiss actually completed?

I generally watch a lot of TVB dramas and they usually finish filming months ahead before they're released. I wasn't too sure about this one though so I'd thought I'd ask.

becky_49

Last nights episode was pretty good for this drama Yuuki sensei filnally discovers feelings for Mio but he says something about there not being much time and Mio shows how much shes changed recently by saying she used to think that too but now she realises there is plenty of time, there are so many...

becky_49

Nice work, becky_49! :D There's a small mistake in the first question though. It should be " Getsuku drama", instead of "September drama". They're actually referring to the golden timeslot (??/Monday 9), and not the month. Other than this, everything else is pretty much spot on....

I've given a stab at the Mao interview , but seeing as I'm reading the Chinese translations and translating it into English, I might have missed some points here.
