LOL! thehibiscus yes, you should beat them up into being togetherthehibiscus wrote:Epi: Thanks! Hehe. I've been looking for Maopi fics, send some my way if you know any of them. Actually, I don't mind ANY Mao fan fics - I don't care who the pairing is.
And wouldn't it be total hotness if Mao and Shun were to act together, just them without any Jun present. Haha. Not that I dislike Jun - I like all of them. Mao makes them look good eh? ;)
Yamapiggy: Thank you for the comment. I dunno what i was thinking when I put Ariel, Mao and YEH all together. I like all three of them and then I threw in Toma and Maki...annnnnd there's someone else being introduced in the next chapter. ;)
As for Yamaopi? OF COURSE! I don't care if the characters dislike it or protest, I'mma beat them into being together in my fic. Haha. As soon as school's done, I'll be writing again. We'll see how it goes and thanks again for reading!
Do you think she'll be acting in an actual drama any time soon? (After Hanadan final T.T, that is.) T.T
yeah as of now there's really no news whatsoever of mao doing another dorama ne... but i hope she does soooon... we're missing her ne! and hanadan final is still too far away! maybe she could be a guest in one of the arashi shows LOL it's been a while we've seen her onscreen.
SuperKyle nah... i'm still al for pi and mao in mars LOL she and shun can do a different dorama LOL
Ats that piccu of mao with her face is priceless cho kawaii
jo the CM i think is a health drink ne! mao-chan looks so preeeeeeetty! hope the cm video comes out soon! ^^
not much news lately ne?
So cool! how i wish i could go to Ebisu one day!becky_49 wrote: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!
and oh my, you went to Fuji TV? *envy to the core*
Btw just to share one news I knew days ago
I was watching this Taiwan programme, and the host talked about HYD Final.
He knew from the film distributor that the film will be in cinemas in TW during August, and fans were asking why it couldnt be with the same pace as Japan's. The film distributor answered that was because they're trying to invite Matsumoto Jun over to TW if made possible. OH MY GOSH.
I wonder if Mao would be invited too no $$ for overseas trip =X if not how good it'd be to go to TW when they are there, having translators from japanese to chinese.. This shows I've got no luck

haha yes, biniBningPunkista, I wanted to go Ebisu that much is because that's where Domyoji and Tsukushi's first date happened!
I just hope if I really ever get to see her, my camera would be with me at that point of time. IF NOT I'LL REALLY KILL MYSELF
Btw I'd like to know, where is the place in Japan, where F4 fighted in HYD? It is also the location where Rui always stares at Shizuka's mega poster? I'd want to visit that place too if I ever go to Japan that place looked kind of a western location, like streets on Paris, coz it looks kind of royal to me Lol

After looking at the ads, its actually for a skin product (some form of moisterizer). The "red" is for dry skin, and the "blue" is for hm.. 'spotted' skin? Probably blotchy skin.atskv9 wrote:The CM is for Chocola BB. Not quite sure what it is though. Maybe some kind of indigestion medicine?
more pics here: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=348384392
The product below that (in the capsules) is for a sort of 'energy booster' which acts to convert different things in your body to generate energy; in case anyone was wondering.
Hope this helps ^^;; Whoops.. class starting g2g!
Ken thanks for finding out for us Sometimes those CMs you can just never tell what the heck they are advertising! Isnt the whole point of an advertisement getting across the what heck you want to sell?!
Ahh they dont need to take any pills for energy, they just need to watch some stuff with Mao in it

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 couldn't catch them filming!
Tokyo was really nice...did a lot of touristy things. And of course fangirl things.
Johnny's store, Aiba's family restaurant....hehehe...

becky_49, I do hope I can go to Tokyo one day... But the first thing I've to do is to save up $$ It's kinda ex to fly to Japan... I think how good it'll be if HYD Final would film Domyoji and Tsukushi at Ebisu once again... Not as the couple identity, but as a husband-&-wife identity. It'd be great to me then, hehehe
Yeah I think I do actually. Someone on Veoh posted it. It's another one of the TBS Happening Awards. I'll edit my post and post the link when Veoh is back upGinoru wrote:By the way atskv9 any idea where to get that NG's screencaped in that thread??
The video is in like 5 parts so I'm not totally sure but in one of the previews, there is HYD so I'm betting on it.

eh where did you find it? I think ive got the video now on Veoh. Gotta watch it to be sure though.
edit: this is the one I watched http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6821792G7WWEk8z
Kato Natsuki was very pretty and Fujiki Naohito was there too!
I think the screencaps in that baidu thread are from something else though. However looks like the same NG clips to me

Some impressions on Hanaikusa . . .
1) The story is easy enough to follow without subs if you've already seen Memoirs of a Geisha. In other words, you'll recognize the roles of the various female characters as well as Mineko's early life.
2) You can tell the show took Memoirs, the movie, as an influence. They use the same soundtrack, and various shots (like the long shot of a Gion district and some of the apprenticeship practice) are constructed similarly to the movie. Of course, these locations are actually authentic. This is an especially gorgeous tanpatsu, with falling sakura blossoms, master shots with disappearing horizon points, pastoral sequences to signal time jumps, without the excessive backlighting typical of J-drama. But it also feels lived in, and it's never obstrusive. The mostly interior scenes were done with a lot of two shots to show Mao watching the ladies.
3) I think some of Mao's kimonos when she is a maiko were Mineko's and were absolutely luxurious. I imagine that each kimono would have cost the price of car. Much attention is paid to Mao's skin just under her headdress.
The rest are not really spoilers, but I just want to make sure . . .

It's some sort of promotional campaign - I'm guessing it's because they are launching a new blue chocola. Basically you have until 5pm on July 11th to enter this competition by answering a quiz. A winner or winners (it's doesn't say how many as far as I can see) will be drawn from the correct entries and those entrants will receive a red and blue special present (スペシャルプレゼント)!!
There's a new post in HYD-F site's blog today, and I don't know if I got the message right; I'm trying to figure what's about the new post.
HYD-F's preview/trailer would be released for the first time... at King's Brunch on 26 April 2008, which is tomorrow.
OKAY just a rough interpretation. maybe someone could help us to translate

Ginoru did you watch it live? I was too lazy to install the software so I just waited until someone uploaded the video and it wasn't long.
New Hanadan Final trailer can be watched on the homepage http://www.hanadan-final.jp/index.html

ghaaaaa!!! noOo!!! i saw spoilers again!!! i should stop visiting this thread altogether after i see the hanadan movie

That would be a really really appreciated! thanks!!!!

shan it's not really spoilers as that's a screencap from a trailer. trailers aren't there to spoil things for you. they are there to lure you in to watching the movie. now of course you were going to watch it anyway but if you dont indulge a little bit, then you aren't going to know what the heck the movie is about before going into it! and really, not visiting this thread until after you've seen the movie? That could be September or later!
Red box suitcase? I'll see what I can find

off topic: kathia_sophia, for the ones you've mentioned: kurosagi isn't on DVD yet and Last Princes isnt in theaters yet. Im sure someone will sub either of those when the DVD comes out for them however.
A good place to find movies is http://community.livejournal.com/jdramas . You must have an LJ account and join that community but it has a ton of movies and most if not all are subbed.
Back on topic, anyone seen a cast list for HYD movie lying around? I saw one, I think on a blog, but I can't find it anymore!

oh yea! you're right. no Tsubaki!! how can that be?!
she's a character that I like as she's always successful in prompting Tsukasa to act like a kid in front of her

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 though, maybe she'll make a special guest appearance.

zi91 LOL Lucky you that can hunt those magazines ;) but unleash has been mentioned before around here so i won't take the creditr ;)

In her recent blog entry (May 5th 2008), Mao show us that she visited Hong Kong Disneyland and Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
Everybody is speculating that Mao went to Hong Kong after HYD-F movie crank up to film some special for the movie, but in my sincere opinion she was filming some traveling program for some documentary, since she was visiting Hanoi too... Let's see further for more information...

Thanks for the diary summaries iridium_yusuke
So you think that she went back to Hong Kong for a travel documentary (ha so many actresses do this but it's still enjoyable)? But when you said she went back to Hong Kong to film "Makino family in HK", was that just speculation from why she was there or directly from the staff diary? Sorry, I'm just confused about your two posts

Hey Ken. Good to have you back Been busy with school? I'm doing well. Just about a week and half and I'm out for summer
Lol the chances of any of us entering that Chocola contest is probably so slim. I assume they probably limit to Japan residents only. Hmm when I eventually go to Japan I need to bring back some Mao merchandise

Thanks ats, yeah I've just been busy with school, 2 weeks ago was finals and now the Spring session has started so it's back to excessive amounts of readings.. -_-;;
As for the contest, yes usually those prizes are limited to postcard entries coming from within Japan unfortunately. When are you planning to be in Japan though? Be sure to look me up~!
