I really like her, she is so versatile and has a girl-next-door charm. Fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto (66) is putting together a stage production called the "KANSAI SUPER SHOW: Shichinin no Samurai," based on Akira Kurosawa's famous 1954 film "Shichinin no Samurai" ("Seven Samurai"). KinKi Kids member Koichi Domoto (31) will star as the character Kikuchiyo, who was originally played by legendary actor Toshiro Mifune.
Yamamoto has apparently been preparing this production for the past three years. Although it is based on the Kurosawa movie, he explained that it will be set in the present day and that the method of expression will be completely different. It is being reported that Yamamoto plans to make it a 90-minute "spectacle show" with no lines of dialogue.
The rest of the "seven samurai" will be played by Akira Emoto (61), Riisa Naka (20), kickboxer Masato (31), Dachou Club's Ryuhei Ueshima (49), Olympic gymnast Yukio Iketani (39), and dancer Kaiji Moriyama (36). However, the entire cast is said to consist of 500 people.
Yamamoto has designed "samurai fashion" costumes for the show, which will be complemented by lots of visual effects from water to fire to wire-flying. It will be performed at the Ariake Coliseum on November 20-21, with an anticipated total audience of 32,000. However, Yamamoto is hoping to have the show performed overseas as well.
An official website for the show launched on Monday.
You're right about BeeTV, just finished watching Sweet Room and noticed much more kissing was taking palce than what's common for other jdramas.MaiKitty wrote:Riisa is in a BeeTV mobile-drama called Paatii wa Owatta. (The Party is over) She plays a girl which is at a party and imagines herself in romantic situations with 5 different guys that are also attenting that party. She reunites with Hiroki Narimiya in this one, he plays one of the guys. The drama started on the 1st of February 2011. One episode lasts 7 minutes, there will be 25 episodes.
Here is the link to BeeTVs Website for the drama. http://pre.beetv.jp/pg/10000265/
For those people unfamiliar with BeeTv, these dramas are much more explicit in the kissing & making out department than normal tvdrama. So for people who are unsatisfied with the innocent relationship of yankee-kun and megane-chan, you might get a visual treat if you're a fan of this couple.
If you mean for Sweet Room it can be found at Fighting!Fansubs Blogsp4078 wrote:Does anyone know where to find the RAW ? I'm pretty sure it's gonna be difficult since it's mobile drama.
Have read it seems it's the same with kdramas. Much more things are shown in movies compared with television dramas.MaiKitty wrote:Sometimes when the mobile drama is over it will be released as a movie. So I think our only hope is to wait for this. (Or find some kind soul in Japan who is wiling to pay and share)
Yes, Sweet Room....Hiroki Narimiya really gave it all in this one. He looks amazing in there and he climbed up in the latter of actors to take seriously for me. I hope for something similar for Paati wa Owatta. I think it's great that these mobile dramas are more mature in the physical department. It's one thing that frustrates me with the usual jdrama. I mean they don't have to show erotic scenes like the one in Sweet Room all the time but sometimes you only get a hug or a ruffle of hair as the only solution after 10 episodes even in romantic dramas. This is frustrating.
I just saw this post from Fighting!Fansubs regarding Party wa Owatta. If they find a translator, maybe the chances to watch it aren't that bad at all!DashRabbit wrote:Fighting! Fansubs is looking for a Japanese translators for Keitai drama Party wa Owatta

As a fan of the Girl Who Leapt Through Time anime movie, I really was skeptical about a live action movie. The direction and plot were great, but Riisa really stole the entire movie for me.jkevinah wrote:wow.watched timetraveller just now and i must say that ill be followin riisa naka as a fan now too:D
hope that we would be able to watch her mobile drama
Alvren wrote:So do I. Fierce Riisa! I liked her role in Shiawase ni Narou yo, I just wished she'd play a more important part. I kept rooting for her hopeless character until the very end.
I have been thinking about subbing stuff recently, and since I'm obsessed with Naka Riisa... basically all of her non-obscure stuff is already done, so maybe we should talk, moustachegai...
Riisa is playing Mariya.Housewife Onodera Mariya’s married life was supposed to have been happy, but turns out shortlived when her husband Tatsuya suddenly disappears without a trace one year later. Mariya sees a picture postcard left by Tatsuya which shows a heart-shaped southern island, and recalls that he had spoken of wanting to go there. At her wits end, she heads to the island in search of him. When she visits, Tsuruta Kameko is there working at the island’s only maternity clinic. Kameko had come to this island from Tokyo a while back. A former midwife in Tokyo, she was disgusted with the mentality of frivolous girls who regarded abortion as reasonable, and the compromise in natural childbirth which was far from her ideal. Then one day, Kameko won a large sum of money in a lottery and left for a carefree journey by herself. This remote Okinawan island was the first place she visited. While there she is beseeched by Nagai Akira to take over the island’s maternity clinic. Learning that there was a shortage of midwives, Kameko decided to set up the ideal maternity clinic down there. These two women of different generations meet in the southern islands. As Mariya is touched by the warmth of Kameko and the islanders, she slowly opens her heart to them and confronts the issues she has.
Both of these dramas sound exactly like the stuff I've been waiting for. It seems they are more serious dramas and I believe Riisa will be able to shine in both of them. She seems popular at them moment - I hope this will last and the two dramas will be succesful so we can see her as a lead more often in the future.Raised in a family where her father is a general practitioner, Miyama Shizuku (Naka Riisa) initially aspired to be a doctor to please her father, but he was against it. Vowing to become a doctor no matter what it takes, Shizuku entered the faculty of medicine on a scholarship without any financial assistance from her parents. She is now a first-year houseman at a university hospital’s accident and emergency centre for a three-month training along with Yazawa Kei (Hayashi Kento), Manaka Junichi (Masuda Takahisa), Koiwai Hinako (Omasa Aya), Arashiro Sachi (Ishibashi Anna). Half a year into becoming doctors, they still do not have the ability to save people. Unable to do anything, they can only stand dazedly rooted to the spot in the emergency centre where every minute counts. They encounter patients with anorexia, bulimia, suicidal tendencies, depression … … While some people refuse social security and push their children to the brink of starvation, others take advantage of the state subsidies for medical treatment to go to the hospital in an ambulance instead of a taxi. In addition, the reality of the medical scene is overworked doctors because of their severe shortage. The five of them do not have high aspirations as doctors and also do not know which department they should move on to. To begin with, they do not even know if they truly want to be doctors. Trained by their experienced seniors and a variety of patients, they develop the qualities of a doctor and mature as adults.
