Ryusei no Kizuna (Meteor Ties)

Well, KudoKan asked to keep his acting performance in high tension and low IQ. Is his realself like that?

I thought Ryo is pretty moody (???) and he got a poisonous tongue from what's been described by most of his fans. Different from what is expected of him from Kudokan description of Taisuke though..
What part of the real him that's similar to Taisuke, WD-san?

Hina : Ryo, this time itfs going to be different right?
Ryo : Yeahcthis time my character is not that darkcitfs going to be cheerfulcIfve never done anything like this beforec
Hina : yeahcthe characters you play always have a secret and dark pastc
Ryo : Oh, nothing has changed about the dark past thingccoz this time my characterfs parents were murderedc
The rest : Oh, okayc*laughing weirdly*

:! :rofl:

He's not moody (I wouldn't know if NEWS' fans perceive him otherwise) because in Kanjani8, he's probably the short-fused one (if you count out Subaru) but nobody is afraid of him or anything. Yes he got poisonous toungue alright, but when you're among those who are even sharper and wittier than you are (Yoko, Hina & Subaru are very good at handling him and outwit him, or maybe NEWS members are just too 'respectful' of him to do some sort of genuine retort), you don't really see that side of him in Eito anyway...

So yeah, in a way, he's a bit similar to Taisuke. (Plus the fact that he's always hyper and crazy during Eito cons, which sounds a bit similar like Ryo?)

Well I wouldn't say that Ryo has low IQ, he definitely got some brains in there, being to able to compose his own songs and write his own lyrics (all in the albums already), and pretty sharp in his J-web entries. Maybe not the smartest in Eito though...

About him being in high tension, yes, he's always, always hyper in Kanjani8 concerts, jumping around and playing around like a kid, or initiating licking the upper arms of your bandmate among other things. :hehe:

Now I know what inspired Nino to kiss Ryo's bare shoulder at a NEWS con! :rofl:
I don't have any idea what's the difference between NEWS Ryo or Yellow Ranger (I do know he is yellow ranger.. saw a clip of Eito wiggling their butts of infinity :hehe:)

Nino new hair do is very cute! I think he will keep that style all through Ryusei's filming. Its shortish with little curls at the end. Very pixy like

I wouldn't know either, not a NEWS fan, but from what I heard, he's not that much different in Eito or in NEWS, except he's more childish in Eito and more grown-up in NEWS (due to age gap and seniority).

I'm quite curious about this drama's filming start, coz it seems the 3 leads are so busy currently. Nino is getting ready for a concert tour (when will the tour start?), Nishikido... when will his tour ended again?, and Toda Erika has to film Code Blue SP episode as well.

I heard there will be Nino-Ryo pic together with the drama article in next week's magazine, though^^

The Arashi tour starts on the 5th at the National stadium. Its this Friday.
Taipei concert on 11 & 12 October; 1st & 2nd November in Korea (i think there's an additional date somewhere) and Shanghai on 15 & 16 November.

busy, busy, busy...

Its a bit unbelievable that they manage to cast Nino for this drama O_o

Thanks, tofu!!

Ryo's tour with Eito already ended on Aug 31st, as Eito will start solo concerts with Subaru & Ohkura up first before (possibly) the others' solo-cons (including Ryo, as fans have speculated), but he's starting PR stuff for NEWS' new single...

Ah, sou da, NEWS single... people were guessing that the drama themesong will be sung by NEWS, but apparently the new single is for a CM themesong right?

The rumor turned to a Nino-Ryo unit now x) I'm still wishing for Shibasaki Kou or Hitoto Yo for the themesong :fingerscrossed:

I'll cross-post what I've posted at D-Addicts:

Got this from 2ch, according to The Television magazine this week, these are the addition casts and their roles:

Kaname Jun as Togami Yukinari (Shizuna's love interest)
Shitara Osamu as Hagimura Shinji (Kashiwabara's young detective partner)
Terajima Susumu as Ariake Yukihiro (the siblings' father)
Ryou as Toko (the siblings' mother)
Emoto Akira as Togami Masayuki (Yukinari's father; suspected as the siblings' parents' murderer)

A bit disappointed coz my image of Yukinari is Mukai Osamu =P But I guess Kaname Jun is not a bad choice at all^^

it seems that this boy will be playing the role of the young Taisuke..

it's been indicated already in his talent agency site..

My pleasure :mrgreen:
An idol workload amazes me, especially the talented and popular ones. They still deliver the goods even working under lots of pressure.

ooh. I heard they will start filming RnK on September 9 (TBS has started recruiting for extras) and there will be a preview after Maou today? Maybe a peek at their promo shoots.

NinoxRyo combi XD
I'll get myself ready to be delightfully surprised (hopefully :fingerscrossed:). Maybe they are writing the song themselves.

Thanks for the young Taisuke info meoinkie2 :woot:

I think it's for the Kose CM...

And I actually don't want a Nino-Ryo combi. The voices...*shudders*

true :sweat:
but IF its already decided, it MIGHT end up being good... or bearable :sweat:. At least there's Nino but... his voice only works well on certain songs and with Arashi...
ok.. lets just hope the rumors are false :hehe:

Ahh, 9 September! Hontouu~~?? And can't wait for the preview after Maou today!!! :dancing: But I'm quite sure, it'll be only some pics of the main leads :beaten:
