OH WOW. Is this confirmed?! That would nothing but awesome. I would loveeeee to see all those cast members up against each other again.yamapinku-rabu wrote:all the cast for the summer drama lineup are gonna go on this show where they play games and compete with each other. the one hosted by nakai? erm is that waratte ittomo? from mao-inoue.com

And although I prefer SARS fansubs too, I'm cool with BON fansubs. They're doing a pretty good job with Bambino... Their font sizes shift from large to small between episodes though, which I'm a little iffy about, but otherwise, they're good.

found this at soompi. all credits go to jade_frost!
thanks!
Official website: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/first-kiss/index2.html
From the introduction:
What would you do if you're one day stricken with a life-threatening illness and recommended to undergo a surgery with a 50% success rate?
If it is successful, you can live healthily.
But if it fails, you may die.
It is cruel to be told of such a life expectancy.
Because one has to find the answers to one's life.
20 year old Mio finds this question thrust at her.
But this absolutely cheerful girl doesn't cry.
There's still 50%! It's a challenge isn't it?
She has big dreams to fulfill.
And so her journey begins.
A happy, slightly painful journey of dreams and life ...
Information on Ito Hideaki's role:
Ikki's heart is filled with great expectation when he hears his cute younger sister is returning to Japan. But when he reunites with Mio, the sister he sees is a far cry from a sick girl. She's become an impertinent, proud and willful person. Mio's transformation comes as a big shock to Ikki but he too has changed tremendously in the 10 years. By nature a man with slightly pathetic aspects, he once had the lofty ambition of being a cameraman. But he has now given that up, and is also on the verge of being dismissed in his job as an assistant. In the meantime, he's leading an indolent life together with stylist assistant, Nikai, in his work colleague, makeup assistant Shindo's home. Furthermore, his natural charm has been his ruin and he has a loose attitude towards women.

so who is really her partner here?
well her boyfriend will be Yuuta but Ito Hideaki will be her brother...
but i dont what you mean by partner...
i think Ito Hideaki is the leading male actor because its mainly based on the relationship
between Mao and Hideaki, their brotherly-sisterly relationship...
Yuuta will be the supporting male lead though...
whilst Mao will be the leading female actress...

HOLY CRAP. I just found an ad hiring extras for an airport scene for First Kiss. o_O Apparently, they're shooting a scene right here in Vancouver (though they're going to pretend it's LAX). O_O Inoue Mao in my city. <O_O> Sadly, I may have noticed too late . . the ad was posted on the 5th. >_< I still replied, so I'll let you guys know if I get called. However, I'm Chinese and they specifically ask for Hispanics and AfroCanadians. *sigh*

yeah the cast is really great, especially since they added Matsuyuki Yasuko(the last woman on the CM). however,imho, they should have chosen another guy to play Mao's partner. im tired of seeing Hiraoka's face, he's been in 3 consecutive dramas already(Tatta Hitotsu, Tokyo Tower, and Prodai), and he's not a good actor.
i prefer to see Kame, Eita, Tsukamoto or Yamapi to be Mao's partner.

Compared to Yuta's acting, Yamapi's acting is pretty much the same character over and over again. The same gestures and expressions. Yuta has some parts he needs to improve on, admittedly, but c'mon, he didn't receive a Newcomer award for his FIRST role in Swing Girls for nothing.marienella_m wrote:yeah the cast is really great, especially since they added Matsuyuki Yasuko(the last woman on the CM). however,imho, they should have chosen another guy to play Mao's partner. im tired of seeing Hiraoka's face, he's been in 3 consecutive dramas already(Tatta Hitotsu, Tokyo Tower, and Prodai), and he's not a good actor.

Yeah, the CM gives away nothing. I suppose it's because the other major actors like Hideaki Ito and Yuta were still balancing their spring dramas to actually start any major production of a CM...
Awesome, Matsuyuki being added just raised my interest in this drama a ton. I am also with marienella, this drama needs more Eita and less Yuuta Anyways it's starting to look like it's going to be more a family oriented drama rather than a romance so I doubt Yuuta is going to have a very big role.
Also I wonder why they didn't put Takenaka Naoto into that commercial, they should have just edited in his "Stresemann kiss face" from Nodame Cantabile

Mm hmm!!!know I'm really looking forward to Yuuta ;)
What I like about Yuuta is that he never overplays anything, and he actually has his other actors/actresses in mind when he performs with them. He has a laid-back, easy charm, and he can tweak it several shades toward cool, anxious, or pensive.
Ito Hideaki is also very good. Leading man looks, but very funny.
That's actually what I'm hoping First Kiss turns out to be. The show's screenwriter specializes offbeat human dramas, and this scenario certainly seems like one. The cast has virtually no idols, and it isn't an anime/manga adaptation. Oh sure, the show may never see the upside of 10%, but hey at least Mao's positioning herself as a serious actress.Anyways it's starting to look like it's going to be more a family oriented drama rather than a romance so I doubt Yuuta is going to have a very big role.
Seriously, the comic talent going into the show is probably among the best for the season. I can't wait to see what kind of character Abe Sadayo will play. I'm actually not sure how this show can be a comedy with such a dreary outlook for the lead. Uhm, Autumn Tale as a comedy? 1 Litre of Punchlines? Mao-chan you can do it!!

Japanese tv really aren't afraid of the TABOO are they? I hope that isn't her real brother. How could he steal her first kiss? Ewww I'm just going to imagine (jumping wayyy ahead before even seeing the series) that they're not related since their parents separated?maybe? Or if it was just an accident and that there won't be any romantic involvement I'm totally fine with that. I really don't want to watch if this is like that anime(and not I love my lil sis the other one lol). LOL AnYwHo! I luv Mao's dramas/movies hope this is good. Its an appealing synopsis I'll have to definitely say.
Given how this season has gone, I don't know if it'll average past the 12% mark. It has no idols; there hasn't been a lot of promotion for it; the storyline gives no clear direction whether it's a romance, tearjerker, comedy, family, or uhm something much ickier. What audience will this show find?although it may not top i would think it would go around the 15% mark
I just hope there isn't a lot of pressure on Mao's agency to make this show fly. Hana Kimi, now THAT show has to do 20+ ratings.

i think that its timeslot alone would guarantee a high first ep rating. it's grabbed the prime slot (the BEST jdrama slot) and that's a major upperhand. at least 15% is almost a given. and 15% would in fact be considered low for that timeslot. people usually expect to see mon9 drama to turn out rating results of at least 20%, but in the past couple of years or so, 18-20% has been the trend.belleza wrote:Given how this season has gone, I don't know if it'll average past the 12% mark.

edit: just wanted to add that the downside of starring in a mon9 drama is the pressure that inevitably attaches itself to achieving high ratings. actors and actresses who screw up the prime slot will find their career plummet - for eg, nakama yukie practically fell off the drama scene after destroying the time slot in 'tokyo wankei', but made a miraculous recovery in gokusen.
so it's a certainty that mao's agency will already be buckling under the pressure.

actually it's what i don't get about fujitv they really aren't promoting their "golden time slot" drama this time. unlike when yamapi was going to be doing prodai. i guess that's the reality. you need idols in dramas to attract audiences. haha! what's happening to the world? hehe!
unlike hana kimi there are many promotions. but maybe fujitv wants to test to see what would work? the drama that would rely on acting or the drama with half the idols in the japanese entertainment industry in it plus some acting (mainly from shun and maki).
definitely it's pressure for mao and her agency. but there may be a reason why they have a great cast lined-up and some of the best producers and directors. so...
and thinking about it, maybe fujitv doesn't want to over-promote this drama. just in case it doesn't live up to people's expectations. haha!
so i really dunno if fujitv is helping build or destroy mao's career. i hope they know what they're doing.

yeah you're right~ drama which have a couple of popular young idols get pimped like crazy, whereas jdrama which have a more experienced, stable cast get less promotion.
i would count mao as an idol though. on the other hand, i don't remember there being much promotion for nodame cantabile, apart from a cm similar to the first kiss cm, and nodame ended up doing quite well. tokyo tower also didn't get much promotion, but that ended up being a real bust ^^''' lol
