A reputation based on absolutely nothing. To get an idea on how "approaching" she is, read "First time in 2009".

(Note that she and Tamaki are in Orion in Midsummer together, and that's all the weeklies need to start a rumour.)

:shakehead:

btw, minna san, here's one of the making-of's for LS:

you can see how tama-chan shines when it comes to sports, but could be a spoiler for those who haven't watched LS yet.

anyhow, enjoy :)

btw Shiori, do you have the Kojinen in the post on page 84 where Tamaki-kun helped taking care of kids? I can't find it anywhere on the web ^_^ thanks.

I want to see the vid too, but I couldn't find it.

Here's what it says in the link about tamaki:
http://talent-encyclopedia.seesaa.net/article/39399202.html

like i said i'm not very good at Japanese, so here's the best i can give ^_^
-he's a fan of Sakura Momoko (aka Chibi Maruko-chan)
-he's a sadist, and loves playing tricks on others
-but he hates it when tricks are played on him
-loves creating penalty games, and usually makes it a portion of the party games (Tamaki-kun's manager is always a victim of these)
-(didn't get this one)
-he's picky when it comes to food, and dislikes food such as prunes, natto (fermented soy beans), pomelos, sea-urchin and melons.
-and doesn't like Watermelon so much either (due to the seeds), but during a magazine interview...(didn't get the second part)
-he's a meat-lover and loves especially pig belly-meat and he also has a sweet-tooth.
-he eats chocolate as breakfast
-loves drinking cafe latte (or translated straight as cafe au lait), he can drink up to 5 cups/day
-as for alcohol, he drinks only Tequila... (didn't get the remaining)
-his dream is to have a house like the one in Sazae-san.
-he thought his blood type was B until he did a full body check at 25 and confirmed to be of type A. He was told by his parents that he was type-B 'cuz he didn't have any serious injuries in all these years.
-his hands are big and fingers are long. And when he makes a "Victory"-sign, his index finger is so far apart from his middle finger.
-he can move his fingers in a weird way due to the condition of the joints.
-(didn't quite get this one, but looks like it's something about "fart"?)
-he gets bored staying with the same hair style, and he often changes his dos for his roles.
-he had a "heart-shape" hair-do in the Pocari-sweat CM aired in 2002. (he even had a heart-shaped sunburnt on his head after the heart-shaped hair was removed)
-he had his first kiss at the age of 12 (grade 7)
-he had his first date in the fall of grade 7
-he played in a band in Music Station with the same band members in "Rockers".
-(didn't get this one about the "waratte iitomo")
- In smapxsmap, tamaki was complimented by the Smap. And after the show was broadcasted, Tamaki's official website was (my closest guess to the sentence) all jammed with accesses.
-he is good at making funny faces
-he has a Chihuahua named Pegu (and was 9 years old when the info was released, probably 2006)
-he is allergy to cat and so he adopted a dog
-his lucky number is 23
-he has a sister. In 2006, he gave his sister a notebook as Christmas gift and (not sure what he gave his mum...)
-he himself would love to receive cigarettes as Christmas gift
-he has problem finding the kind of shoes that could ease his plantar fasciitis due to flatfoot.
-he hates wearing socks (didn't get the remaining)
-when he reached his 20th of age, he started seeing "things" others can't see.
-ever since he was a kid he has been in love with the Coconut-chocolate donut sold at Mister Donut
-he worked part-time from 18 to 23 years old in a restaurant of a golf club. (and also in a convenient store)
-he'd served celebs working in this restaurant
-this was also where he learned his cooking skill from.
-he's left-handed when he does sports, but right-handed when he writes
-he lived in a house that was formerly a kindergarten. His room was 40-mat (40 pieces of standard-sized tatami) , and a part of it was turned into a photo lab)
-when he moved from Nagoya to Tokyo, he rented a 50-year-old apartment that was 3-mat in size. The bathroom was full of insects when he used it in the morning. (and he moved out due to this reason)
-he told the press that he had a girlfriend during his photobook's press conference
-when he had to film for Nodame, he had a hardtime practicing all piano, violin and conducting. And he even listend to Brahms' over a thousand times.

Please don't use the contraction "jap" as it is considered offensive.

my god this thread is moving fast ....I just finish ep 10 of love shuffle to tell the truth I love this drama
I agree with some1 that it is underrated ...much better than the one that won the sport grand prix for this season..Kami (about red wine)
anyway I love the ending ..very satisfied with it...they couldnt have done a better ending.

watching drama I hate Mei's character.....she is so heartless in ep 6 ..telling her b/f how she fell for other guy...can u imaging some1 is doing that ?? and yet turn around and told him she wants to marry him ....

Tamaka l&#417;oks so cute in this drama ...glad to see that he has a few more international fans ...CANT wait for his two movies come out in summer...

Totally agree:) This is really one of the best! Tho the beginning wasn't so good, i really love the ending too!

I didn't like Mei either, so selfish! But have you read Tamaki's interview for Love Shuffle? He preferred the original matches! Looks like he's rather conservative? (<- not sure what's the best word to use)

Tamaki is cute no doubt :D like i said, i sooo want to have one of his caxpaxxn poxtxr in episode #10! hahaha!

I'm waiting for all his movies as well as CDs, which is coming out next month :applaud:

Hey qnuy, i found some information about this (that was from your post on page 8 i believe). These pics are from a variety show called "Mezamashi TV - Koujinen" that was aired on May 31, 2004. I can't find the video tho, guess it's too old. :shakehead: Here's another link of it:
http://successmoon.blogzine.jp/tech/2004/05/post_254.html

And then for those who can read Chinese, here is a review on the show:

Here you go, I'm not good at transation ^_^, let me know if there's anything that doesn't make sense. Thank you all :)
======
The video began with an interview with Tamaki.
Tamaki: I wish to be a father more than to get married. If I were a woman, I'd have given birth to a bunch of kids.
***
Then came the scene where Tamaki was introduced to 2 young children, who were 2 and 4 years of age. To prove whether Tamaki really loves children so much, Mezamashi TV assigned this babysitting mission to Tamaki.
Little Mio (2 years old) cried so hard and didn't want to get one bit closer to Tamaki. Tamaki tried virtually everything to win Mio's trust, he even said "I'm your mama".
***
The scene was interrupted with another piece of interview
Tamaki: I don't understand why I kept being rejected in auditions, and of course sometimes I'd try to act cool, wondering how i could show my best shots to people. But with Water Boys, I understand that it's useless being impatient, sometimes you have to take things step by step.
***
Back to the Babysitting clip, Tamaki took the kids to supermarket and bought some food for dinner. In the kitchen, Tamaki chopped the carrot to smaller size and then taught the kids how to cut the carrot into cubes.
The kids seemed to enjoy the Spaghetti Bolognese that Tamaki cooked, they even said that he cooked better than mum.
***
MC: looks like you'll spoil your kids!
Tamaki: I definitely will. I hate seeing them get hurt and being left alone at home.
***
This is not surprising, when he was a kid, Tamaki's mother had to take care of his sister, who always got sick. For this reason, Tamaki was always left at home alone with no one to play with.

======
I'm pretty sure the video says more than this, but that's all the information provided in the review. I so wish I was Mio-chan, the 2-year-old kid :hehe: or better yet i should just reborn as Tamaki's kid :naughty:

I think I've read in another article that Tamaki wants a boy over a girl, let me try to find it...
