[Discussion] Smile - Jun Matsumoto & Yui Aragaki

Issy · Post by **Issy** » Mar 21st, '09, 21:59

I could not see a thread for this April drama on d-a yet so i thought of starting one.

from drama wiki
Synopsis:
Bito is a half-Filipino whose father has died and mother has disappeared. Despite his misfortune and the issues he deals with, such as race, he lives his life positively with a constant smile. Similarly, Hana is a young woman living cheerfully despite losing her ability to speak due to an accident...

Cast:
Matsumoto Jun as Hayakawa Bito
Aragaki Yui as Mishima Hana
Koike Eiko as Machimura Shiori
Tokuyama Hidenori as Kawai Kinta
Suzunosuke (鈴之助) as "Bull" / Kazama Kenji
Kitami Toshiyuki as Detective Furuse
Ikeuchi Hiroyuki as Kashiwagi Keisuke
Katsumura Masanobu as Kashiwagi Keisuke
Maeda Gin as Machimura Sosuke
Ishida Ayumi as Machimura Midori
Nakai Kiichi as Ito Kazuma

it's being a long time since jun done a drama. i am really looking forward for his new one and very curious about Jun x Yui pairing.
looking forward to this drama for sure.

I like both main actors, but the story doesn't sound good to me. Too much drama... but I'll give it a try i guess.

jicks · Post by **jicks** » Mar 21st, '09, 22:26

Thanks for starting the thread =)

I think the series sounds pretty heart-warming. And I trust that Matsumoto Jun will make his character someone you can really empathise with.

Here's the short teaser clip that was recently released:

Look forward to seeing him paired up w/ Aragaki Yui

wow, great news.
but not such a great news when i saw jun's heavy tan in this drama. he seems one of those three orange men in that CM. totally waste of a pretty face like jun's.

o0glad2bbiba0o · Post by **o0glad2bbiba0o** » Mar 23rd, '09, 07:30

And yeah, the plot isn't that interesting so I guess it needs great talent to pull it off.
Matsujun is okay, but I don't think Yui Aragaki can act well.

I'm scared for the show.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Jun's next drama. I mean, next to SMILE. Hehehe!

Just kidding!

fujijan · Post by **fujijan** » Mar 24th, '09, 15:01

Matsujun is finally doing a dorama!!! I'm so excited~!1

But the plot is really very short and reveals not much information..

Hope that new information will be known soon!

Meanwhile, I wonder if ARASHI's song will also be used in this drama too~~~

pinklady · Post by **pinklady** » Mar 26th, '09, 13:36

yay!! matsujun and gakki, wuah... oguri shun also appears as a guest star??
can't wait!!!

Long live Gakky....

lara_mey · Post by **lara_mey** » Mar 26th, '09, 15:33

it's quite interesting seeing them together in a drama!!

Misato-san · Post by **Misato-san** » Mar 29th, '09, 01:37

This is my most anticipated jdrama for the upcoming season...
II read a lot about it because the main actor is my beloved Ichiban Matsumoto Jun

, the main actress is Gakky and I like her a lot... Nakai Kiichi acting is really something... (I loved him as, for example, Kagemitsu in Dororo)...

Also, Takuma-san scripts are amazing (Utahime <333 Hanadan <33 ) and the director is the great man behind Ryuusei no kizuna

(among others), Ishii Yasuharu <3

So... great crew, and the story sounds interesting to me too because it's a mix of social problems, romance and only Takuma-san knows what other for now

If you are interested into this title, you can join the new born community about Smile @ livejournal: http://community.livejournal.com/smile_jdrama/profile
there are a lot of infos about the drama up (I love the story behind the title of the drama for example <3)

Burnin Blu · Post by **Burnin Blu** » Mar 31st, '09, 16:13

Let me get this straight. This show is about racial discrimination against Filipinos? Is is it that serious over there? Is iit because of a person's skin color or nationality? Because if it's skin color the japanese range from very faiir to very very tan. Someone enlighten me please. Its very funny because Japan is in a bind. They are suffering from a very low birth rate and not enough people liiving and working in itheir more rural areas. If this keeps up they're going to have to be more acccepting of other cultures in their society.

gauri92 · Post by **gauri92** » Mar 31st, '09, 17:25

^i amyself am not quite sure how bad it is out there....but its supposed to be alright in the cities, i think its more or less in the smaller towns and villages where discrimination might happen...

and from what i could gather, the drama will focus on citizenship for bito, becasue his father is a filipino and mother japanese (or vice versa)...so yes, i guess discrimination does play a part in the drama, not only from a societal point of view, but also froma legal point.....

I think that will play a part. But also, Bito was once in criminal things and the drama starts shortly after he's been released from jail. He'll also face discrimination because of his past.

No problem.

I joined a group for this show over on livejournal and they always have great info. There's a new 29 second CM out with scenes from the show. Bito seems like such a sweet guy whose a bit of a woobie. (and I hate that word)

gauri92 · Post by **gauri92** » Apr 1st, '09, 17:31

oh..the smile community??? is that the one ur talking abt???

Misato-san · Post by **Misato-san** » Apr 1st, '09, 23:13

The racial problem is one of the highlights of the show (according to the interview on the official website featuring Matsumoto Jun and Nakai Kiichi, translated here: http://community.livejournal.com/smile_jdrama/4592.html ), but ONLY ONE of them

And as much as I read a lot of things about this drama I'm very intrigued by it.

Ps: PLEASE PUT THE SPOILERS UNDER A SPOILER TAG! ;_______;

Yup, that's the place. It's a great place for translations of articles. I have to admit that I'm getting more excited for this show. It just looks like a wonderful human drama/love story. And a great look at how society discriminates against people for all sorts of reasons: race, their past, their disabilities, etc.

They passed laws in japan where the police can stop whoever they want on the street and make sure that they are citizens. If they arent citizens they are deported. they associate foreigners with crime so they dont want them residing in Japan. About the abuse he deals with, i would assume thats quite common. My japanese professor worked overseas at a medical university and she said before the semester started they had a meeting to tell all the professors about the students that were not of complete japanese heritage and they did this so that the teachers could be a bit cautious of those students because the Japanese have a general mistrust of non-Japanese (it doesnt matter if you are born and raised there and only speak Japanese).

Aside from that this drama looks really good so far and I hope it exceeds my expectations.

reminds me of the movie "Go".

i know these things are happening there but i did not know is to this extent. but to be fair, it happens alomst every where in the world. sometimes in your face and sometimes not so and more behind your back. to be honest, i prefer the to your face option as i will have an idea who to deal with people.
BUT, does this happen to every nationality that goes there. i have seen on various japanese programs that how they love european features. i hardly can see that they get the same treatment as Vito did in this drama.

By no means am I saying that every Japanese person is against foreigners. There are plenty of people who are not against foreigners living and working there. But with the graying of Japan and the negative birthrate, and the fact that they would seriously rather build robots to replace workers (in assembly line type jobs) rather than change the laws and allow foreigners in easier, you see that there is a problem.

It isn't really surprising is it? I mean, most people around the world are against foreigners to some extent, the flip side of patriotism. Its just an inherent quality that we possess i guess.

Knowing they are a homogeneous country I kind of could understand their racial intolerance but it still doesn't make it right to discriminate like what hopelessheart had pointed out.

this is really interesting and really... sad too.

it reminds me that Nakai Kiichi (who plays Ito Kazuma, the laywer) talked in an interview with Matsumoto Jun (translated in the Smile community) about the awareness that Japanese people has about this kind of problems... so the drama deals also with the problem that people may cannot accept at least one of his main themes...

I hope it will be as good as it looks from the first episode (I loved it) because Takuma-san (the scriptwriter) is awesome and deserves to be recognized for his talent.

Issy · Post by **Issy** » Apr 20th, '09, 09:57

I was reading on jdorama smile thread about people on 2ch not being so happy with the 1st ep saying it does have a heavy theme that is not suitable with current economic crisis in japan and the fact that it is giving a bad image about Japan. (credit to tofuuu)

i really think this is excuse not to openly admit that this kind of abuse does happen in a 1st world country like Japan. have been watching jdramas for over years and one think i notice is there are lots of different types discriminations happens there but it is taken so normally there and always been tolerated.

therefore i really applaud TBS and writer and director by picking up such a heavy theme for their drama knowing the society they live in. also a big gambate for jun for doing this drama.
i can't wait for ep 2 and the subs

padme · Post by **padme** » Apr 20th, '09, 12:39

i think like issy, most people in japan can't admit that this is really a big problem in there and the all world O.O and i think that Jun really feel proud that he got this character in the drama it's like a big courage from him play Vito chan ^^ and i can't wait to 2ep too T_T

Theres discrimination everywhere imo. Its pretty widespread around the world even in first world countries and I don't think Japan should be singled out for criticism. Like I said before, its natural to feel more comfortable around people of your own race/nationality and less secure with people of a different nationality.

On another note, is the subbed for this out? How was the first ep?

I just wish that the drama can clearly send out its message to its viewers, it may have lots of ideas and reactions from different people but its really up to the cast and crew and to plot itself on how to make the message clear...

Honestly, last year when I saw on the news that Matsujun will be playing a half-pinoy, it made me wonder because he does not look half-Filipino at all, but I think because of his acting prowess, I guess he can pull it through...

But oh well, not all half-Filipinos really do like Filipinos, the reason: because Philippines has been influenced by lots of races and they have conquered a lot of times too...

I can't wait to see the next episode..

But now, after episode one, we say that the correct spelling in romaji it's Vito because it's Italian. So I think we can accept it and correct ourselves.

hello everyone!

it's nice to see an interesting discussion about Smile. I became interested in it since I saw that Jun will be playing a half-Filipino which is my nationality. And I love him to bits.

It seems like Smile is a real eye opener. I think part of the reason why Jun is receiving such discrimination is the reputation of Filipinos in their country.

Filipinos are known to be entertainers in Japan and were quite famous for illegally staying. There's recently a case wherein a Filipino couple was deported back here because they stayed in Japan for 13 years using a fake passport. I am not particularly proud of what they did plus it seems like they don't want their child to know about her Filipino heritage since they didn't teach her to speak Filipino or even English.

There are a lot of Japinoys out there who long to be with their parents but cannot. It is a sad reality of life and I do hope that this drama will be able to tackle this issue truthfully.

and i think that kazuma ito (the lawyer) most probably has a past just like Vito. so he ended up changing his name to current one. not sure if he has a background similar to Vito but i think he had a troubled past to do with police.
and Hana, diffinately knows vito from before. my guess is to do with times that she stopped talking. i am sure we will find out about the reason later on.

i thought that this ep was better than ep1. more intense and more action. and when just i thought here is finally some happy times for our vito (i know i shouldn't think so as it is only ep2) here comes another hard times for him.
and to be honest, i think japanese viewers complains about this ep is going to be even more than ep1.

and i thought that we are going to see some more shun in this ep but i guess the preview and end of ep1 was misleading. there is was no shun to be seen anywhere.

hana is getting even more adorable by each ep and you just want these two to be together. i am abit curious about the person she went with and who coincidently works at the very school that Vito delievers food too. and after final poisoning incidence in there could not help not to feel suspecious about him.
the most cutest scene in this ep was when hana gave vito a hug and he went all suprised and shocked and did not know how to react after that. sooo adorable. i just love the fact how hana feels comfortable around vito and how she does not hold her feeling back about him. but poor vito has problem believing in that someone actually likes him for who really is.

i watched a little of ep. 2 too, god, i can't wait for next week.
