Meanwhile, this is what I got from 2ch, remember... these are only RUMOURS!! Interesting rumour development on Goro's dorama!! :hehe:

FujiTV:
Monday 9 PM slot: Katori Shingo, Ito Hideaki, Ueno Juri
(wow! I wonder what kind of story come out of this combo! Love triangle? Siblings? Partners in crime? But Shingo-Juri...is just equal COMEDY, ne :mrgreen:)

Tuesday 9 PM slot: Narumi Riko, Moriyama Mirai


TBS:
Sunday 9 PM slot: Nakai Masahiro, Inagaki Goro (with possibility of Takeuchi Yuko as female lead). Themesong by SMAP.
(huaaa~~ I wish this is trueee!!!! WHO KNOWS, Nakai can do 2 jobs at a time... movie AND dorama :naughty: haha... but before that, I'm afraid Nakai had immediately reject the offer to know that its a dorama with Goro :rofl:)

Undecided slot: "Bara no Kuchibiru to Yoru ga Sugireba [When The Night with The Rose Lips Pass Through]". Genre: love mystery suspense. About 3 dangerous women.

Themesong by Hamasaki Ayumi.
(hmm... this sounds interesting....)

Yanie, I hope the rumor about Nakai and Goro's drama is true, but I have to say it is unlikely. Because Nakai will shoot a movie with Nakama yukie from the end of this year, right? I can't believe he will appear also in drama from January. I hope they announce something at the coming Pocari event in next month.

Haven't you heard anything new about Tsu??? :crazy:

No, oyabin... nothing on Tsu... :shakehead: Isn't he still filming his movie with Tsutsumi Shinichi right now?

Minna, do you know Kimura Takuya Groundbreaker website? Has the URL changed? Or has it really gone already?

Did anyone save all the pages of that website?? I regret I did not do that earlier :shamefulcry: If anyone has the Groundbreaker pages, please let me know. Those Kimura COMPLETE infos and datas that site has are really priceless *_*

I only know that there will be a drama for nakai and yoko-chan... i didnt know that goro will be in it and also a theme song for smap!!! i hope that the rumor is true!!! it will be great that 2 smap members in same drama.. definitely looking toward it... :dancing: :dancing: and also shingo drama too!!! think Takuya new drama maybe will have to wait til spring....

Capz of Tokuban.. Ha~~ Finally,, tonight's show is with K8,, cant wait to watch... :fingerscrossed:

I'm 99% sure that site is gone. I was bummed when it disappeared but it's been awhile. :shamefulcry:

It is very much possible that when Hime san passed away last year, they decided to close down the site. I haven't been there in ages so I didn't know. That is really sad.....

The first thing I saw was FEATURING A SONG BY SMAP! :shocked: A new single maybe! Have they signed with another company yet? I hope so!

I would love to see Hiro and Goro in a dorama together! And of course Shingo too :dancing: That will make this winter more tolerable!

"Hero", a film starred by Japanese No.1 Lady-Killer Takuya Kimura, is now in its sixth week of being the top box office winner in Japan, website Sina.com.cn reports.

Released on September 8, the movie has already attracted 5.5 million cinema-goers, profiting over 7 billion Japanese yen (about 450 million yuan).

It scored the highest out of all the Japanese movies this year, defeating another Kimura's production "Bushi no ichibun".

Box office takings for the movie are expected to keep growing, exceeding "Limit of Love: Umizaru", which recorded the highest box office in 2006.

In 2001, Kimura starred in Hero's drama series, setting a record with its high TV rating of about 37 percent.

Been so busy with work and stuff, but this really caught my attention. Thanks once again for the good information, Yanie! :mrgreen:

What an odd pairing, Shingo and Ueno Juri! I really wonder if any chemistry will come out of this. Ueno Juri is hot though.

If this happens, Nakai is gonna be in so much pain! :rofl: I was watching a Kat-tun clip the other day, and Nakai was telling them how much he cannot, absolutely cannot, tolerate being in the same room as Goro. Even if he has to stay in the room, if Goro is there, he would force himself to leave the room. :hehe:

What caught my attention was.... NAKAYAMA MIHO?? :shocked: I thought she retired ages ago and never wanted to come back to showbiz?

yanie_chan wrote:
Saturday 9 PM slot: "Boku nado ga Ita". Genre: romance. Kamenashi Kazuya, Sawajiri Erika/Aragaki Yui (possibility of the lead's bestfriend role is another KATTUN member or Kanjani8 member).

KAME AND SAWAJIRI ERIKA!!! :woot: This would bring in the ratings, it would. This pairing has as many fans, and probably an equal number of haters. :hehe: But it really is an awesome pairing. The both of them act really well considering their age.

Elaine!! Nakai looked so handsome in the latest ZaGyoten last Wednesday!!! :woot: The topic was about bad apartment landlord. One of the female guest said that she cannot accept her faxes and got something to do with her bad landlord. Then she asked, "Nakai-san, you must have accepts lots of faxes too right(from fans)?". With a kakkoii face Nakai said, "Yeah... well... not that I want to show-off about it...". Then a middle-aged female guest immediately point to Nakai, saying, "YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!". Wahahaha..... she is sooooo RIGHT!!!*v*
I missed last night's Utaban... =( Was it good?

Shani, Megumi. Thank you for the answer. Omg, I didn't know Hime-san passed away :shocked: My deepest condolences...

Zephyr, where do you read that? I never heard Nakayama Miho decided to retire. Her last drama was 5 years ago... maybe she was just busy as the housewife for awhile :hehe: But I guess, even if she said she decided to retire, she can always make a -once in a blue moon- comeback. Just like Yamaguchi Tomoko, she said Long Vacation would be her last drama. But she made a comeback in 2004, acting in a SP drama. I'm still wishing she would make a 2nd comeback :fingerscrossed: Last year, there were rumours, a producer was trying to get Yamaguchi Tomoko and her husband, Karasawa Toshiaki, to act in a movie together.... I SO HOPE that's true!!

Haha... I would love to see Kame-Erika pair too!! I'm SO NOT their fans, though... But that's why I think they match :hehe: However, I would say Kame is still so much better than Erika. Erika really need someone to teach her attitude. During a promo of Closed Note movie, she behaved really bad, didn't even smile, and only said 3 words. I felt sorry for the other casts of the movie like Takeuchi Yuko, who tried her best to keep smiling kindly answering the press' questions.

In Bistro SMAP, it was clearly shown that Nakai, Kimura and Shingo didn't like Erika so much. And they even bullied her!! :hehe: I love it so much, when Nakai-Kimura spontaneously cooperated to deceive her. And not to mention, Shingo, who kept laughing at her blinky eyes and hairstyle, and didn't even pay attention to what she has to say :hehe:

i like the collaboration with Chara. is it just me or all of them looked really cool that night. Kimura with that sweater and Nakai looking so :drooling: mature with a non-weird hair and grey clothing

Wa~~ Deshou?? Yanie?? Nakai's so handsome?? Ha~~ I must watch that then,, :bonk: But I've watched the Kurobara though,, this time they tried the HOT CURRY,, oh,, how I wish I can try that.. I love spicy foods,, ahaha~~ Everyone cannot stand that,, including Nakai,, he tot he can just eat them that easily,, but,, ahaha~~ his expressions are so funny.. :hehe:

Haven watch last night's Utaban,, still in the download process.. Haiz,, I hate the speed nowadayz,, so slow.. But I think with K8,, must be funny also ne.. MAYBE,,

And,, is the drama cast confirm oredi?? I hope thatz are all true.. Cant wait for it to confirm.. Also,, hope SMAP can settle their recording labels problems quickly.. We really need a new song~~ Nothing from SMAP this year is really so bored.. :bored:

Shingo did make fun of her saying she did too much for being on Bistro. The eye makeup was a bit Vegas Showgirl! I thought he was being a bad boy when he just interrupted her and laughed in her face. He couldn't even control himself! :rofl: You gotta love Shingo for being so honest! :victory:

Saiyuuki DVD is limited release with 59,000 copies.. So,, to those who want this,, be sure to order fast.. Haha~~ I dun think I'll buy this,, gotta save,, for the concert.. Haha..

Nakai was really cute in one of the Iitomo specials. This old lady mentioned Koda Kumi or something and the audience all went into hysterics, even most of the artistes on the set were in shock. Then Nakai was soooooo embarassed, it was just VERY, VERY CUTE. Nakai looks really adorable when he is shy or embarrassed.

To anyone: What was happening and why did the old lady bring up Koda Kumi? Who is that old lady anyway?

It was quite obvious that the old lady said something wrong, because right after she mentioned Koda Kumi, they went straight into commercials! :rofl:

Anyway, Koda Kumi and Nakai are confirmed not dating right? Especially after appearing in Utaban together. Gees...


Sawajiri Erika is really annoying, but you can't deny that she has great acting skills. I mean, if she's such a nasty bitch in real life, it must have really taken a lot out of her to act in all the ill and pitiful roles. It is all just really convincing. Anyway, Yanie, why don't you like Kame? He's cute! :hehe:

I couldn't believe they spelled Tsuyopon's name wrong! :beatyou: That was just stupid! Anyways, I want a treat! No tricks unless it my own private performance with Magician Zero :victory: hahahaha I didn't know Japan celebrated Halloween..... :P

Yanie, you missed Utaban? OMG how can you! It's Kanjani8! They cannot go wrong with the hilariously funny and noisy boys from Kansai!

Anyway, where you can download Kanjani8 part on Utaban:
http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/998907.html#cutid1 (HQ)
http://community.livejournal.com/kanjani8/998076.html (LQ - wmv file)

Highlights of the episodes:

- EVERYBODY GOT NICKNAMES NOW!
Hina (Murakami) = Hori
Yoko = Yokoyama Yoko
Subaru = henteko piero (and changed to Johnny Depp later)
Ohkura = Johnny Ohkura
Maruyama = Shakure B'z
Yasuda = Shochi no Yasuda (LOL!)
Ryo = Ashi no Ura

- Yasuda got abused, again, for being a 'gay' (not that he is but Nakai insists so)! But he was so calm and collected about it, like 'I don't care what I'm wearing as long as I'm comfortable in it', and he showed parts of his colourful underwear!
- Hina (Murakami) got teased again by Yoko about his pots of money, he got pissed and wanted to strangle Yoko very much but Yoko and Nakai and Taka just laughed at him!
- Nakai-kun asked Yasuda who his favourite member is! (Translation of the last part is done by dear makaeru on LJ)

It all starts when Yasu makes a comment on Yoko's leg hair. Everyone asks why he pays that much attention to that part of Yoko's body. Yoko then tells of how normally when they bathe, they go one at a time, but when Yoko bathes, Yasu sweetly asks
"Can I join you?"
Subaru says Yasu asks him that all the time too.
Then Maru tells something about how when they do band numbers, with their guitars and all, Yasu says "strip! strip!" to Maru. Yasu explains that he thinks it's masculine to show your muscles.
Then he shows his tummy.
Nakai: There's something on your tummy.
Yasu: It's a body piercing? (He says it so uncertainly that everyone laughs)
Nakai: So, who do you like the most out of the people here?
Yasu: What sort of question is that?
Hina: Just out of the group.
Yasu: You mean as friends, right?
Nakai: What is there other than friends? (HINT HINT)
Yasu: No no no!
Nakai: Who do you like?
Hina: Say it. Just the name.
Yasu: Johnny Depp (aka Subaru)
Hina: Thank you. Congratulations.
Taka-san: There's a sort of thing between you (BAD CG HEART FOR ONE).
Nakai: It's love! (Ai daro!)
Subaru: That's silly!
Hina: That was good.
Nakai: You're all excited.
Subaru: No, definitely not.
Yasu: We do stuff like going shopping together. We share a wallet even (?)
Taka: So do you look at underwear together?
Subaru: No, it's just like, we say "let's go shopping" and then go.
Hina: Yes, they certainly just go together all the time. Who leads? (heavy emphasis on double entendre)
Nakai: Yeah, who leads?
Taka: Who pays for the hotel?
Nakai: That was too fast.
Yasu: That's funny.
Hina: Wait up.
Nakai: Tell each other what's good about the other.
Subaru: Why? Seriously, why?
Hina: Like, what you like about the other.
(general agreement)
Yasu: Um, well, I like his shy side, don't I?
Taka: (to Subaru) Do you ask him to turn off the light?
(screaming and laughter)
Nakai: And what do you like about Yasu?
Subaru: What do I like? Um, well, after all, he's friendly and warm (hearted). (laughter) He cares for people.
Hina: That's important, isn't it?
(agreement)
Nakai: (to Ryo) What do you think?
Ryo: ...
Nakai: Everyone's looking to you.
Ryo: Me? (and then I think he asks then to do a retake so he can appear laughing at the camera)

I FLAILED AND DIED AT THIS...GENIUSES! And at the love of Subaru/Yasu! Earlier that day Sakigake Ongaku also shipped this pairing, holding hands and stuff!

And OMG I can't believe that both Nakai-kun and Taka-san (and Hina too!), got involved in shipping this pairing! :hehe:

One more translation of Utaban starting from the point where Nakai & Taka started to be reaallly evil with Yasuda & Subaru. Go read it here (there are screencaps too!): http://paaaaan.livejournal.com/27130.html
