:mrgreen:

thank you for this!! im still waiting for my preview download to finish.. :hehe:
i love to see Riida on HQ..LMAO..
can't wait till Friday!! on the meantime, there's still no news with regards to the theme song?? if it's indeed from Arashi..

12 Jan 2009, 14:50 #22

^ yup. still waiting for confirmation on the theme song. There were rumors saying its Away by Arashi but I think its only 2ch talks or some Japanese blog speculations. Maybe the song is from Girl Next Door since she's starring in it?

This drama looks pretty promising with wacky and heartwarming feel to it. Ohno constantly looked angry... I bet he'll be a happier Utaoni by the end of it :mrgreen:
I hope people will tuned to Asahi after watching Love Shuffle (another drama I'm looking forward to)

12 Jan 2009, 15:11 #23

I think dorama lovers are probably going to love Fridays! There's the always popular Hissatsu Shigotonin on Asahi at 9, then Love Shuffle on TBS at 10, then Uta no Oniisan at 11! :hehe:

According to arashi@vox, the theme song is a solo song from Ohno as Yano Kenta!
Its a first for Ohno... maybe a single by "Yano Kenta" like Erika Sawajiri did as "Kaoru Amane" for Taiyo no Uta. Interesting.. :mrgreen:

Added: According to enshinge, Ohno, Maru & Katase Nana sang the theme song for the children show in Utaoni (Papepopi.. sumthing) during the press con. So watch out for clips on them! Can't wait for Utaoni day tomorrow :D

sorry for the locked post link ^^;;
Here more info on the rumor with pictures of the words printed on Utaoni poster announcing the theme song posted by OZARASHI: http://ozarashi.vox.com/library/post/ohno-drama-theme-song-1.html
It is called "Cloudy then Sunny" (not sure)

it's okay.. :mrgreen:
omg?! so this it?!?!?! definitely those posters don't look fake at all plus there's the JStorm logo..waaaaaaa!! Oh-chan having a solo debut!!!

15 Jan 2009, 20:29 #29

Can't wait to see him performing this alone at Music Station :)
Hoping for a great hit song from Leader!

A good move by JStorm. Ohno is very capable to handle a solo song and Arashi's Believe will be releasing soon so they have planned this quite well. Wishing for a smooth 2009 for Arashi :mrgreen:

...i really enjoyed watching "maru" act in this - i've not seen him in any drama series that i know of. his compassionate sweet nature comes through as seen in ep 1. hope it continues. :love_eyes:
as ever "mr. maou" has his maou moments which is great :applaud:
all in all i did enjoy ep 1.....

22 Jan 2009, 10:10 #34

I love the cast!
Katase Nana "Naku naku! Naku naku!" speech was amazing :hehe:
The Prince over the top smile+wink cracked me up everytime :rofl:
Love the "Momotaro-san, kiri dango" song btw :rolly:
Ohno and his tv father looked like real father & son. They have the same frown. Maybe they willed themselves to look similar..

Well, this is really Maru's first series. He only starred in drama SPs before. It's a delight watching him like that, he was such an emo kid in Jitensha Shonenki! :hehe:

Its UtaOni day! :victory:
Episode 2 preview looks awesome. More singing :mrgreen:
I'm also anticipating more about Akane & Kenta. Its weird how Akane is still in love with Kenta yet betrayed him so cruelly. Furthermore, Kenta still care for her. Some flashback romance scenes are certainly welcomed.

9 Feb 2009, 21:21 #37

ok.. i'm hoping the romance scenes between Kenta & Akane will ONLY be flashbacks. Her character is really rubbing me off the wrong way. :grumble:

LMAO.. :hehe: :hehe:
fits of jealousy?? actually i am too.. :beaten:

Not jealous... I'm hoping Kenta will get some "action" but hopefully from other character that is much nicer like Manabe. Hopefully Kenta realized, Akane and his ex-friends did BACK STABBED him.... argh.. why must our hero be so clueless sometimes. :banghead:
Please, let there be love for Manabe/Kenta :fingerscrossed:

omg. STORMY just released the 3rd episode (MP4 version) at d-addicts. I was hoping aatash to be the translator (because she's an amazing person).. but oh well.. choklad will do to :P

I can't help but noticed the amount of male viewers that commented or supported UtaOnii at d-addicts :)
There's even reports by 2ch members that they let their children watch this late night drama because the kids enjoy watching Ohno making faces :hehe:. A lovely drama made for all :thumbsup:

a man who's going to be 29 this year :mrgreen:

about the ex crying.. i think the writers trying to make us feel sorry for her so we'll accept Akane/Kenta together.
Totally backfired! :grumble:
They just can't erase the fact that Akane agreed to back stabbed her own boyfriend and take over HIS band. I don't even think there's enough plot devices that can save this character from being hated.
I'll be really impressed if they can prove me wrong though. (but the truth is, I really want Manabe/Kenta instead :bonk:)
