Actor Watari Testuya (63) has revealed that last year he filmed his role in the current NHK taiga drama "Yoshitsune" despite having pneumonia. He made the announcement on Thursday at a press conference to mark the end of filming. Last autumn, he told NHK staff that he had a cold, but was using an oxygen mask and checking into a Tokyo hospital every weekend. Watari plays the major role of Taira Kiyomori, while the title role of Minamoto no Yoshitsune is played by young heart throb Takizawa Hideaiki (22). The drama is based on "Heike Monogatari" (Tale of the Heike), the legendary story of warring clans in the late Heian Period. • Former NHK chief producer Isono Katsumi (48) has been arrested for the fourth time. The latest arrest is for defrauding his employer of \11.5 million in fictional production costs for over 30 TV programs in 1999. The repeated surfacing of such cases has severely hurt NHK's reputation over the last year or so.

Movie director Nasu Hiroyuki died yesterday of liver cancer at a hospital in the Tokyo suburb of Chofu. He was 53. He was known for several hit movies that starred popular idols, such as Morning Musume in "Pinch Runner" and last year's adaptation of the hit manga "Devilman." But his most influential film was 1985's "Bebop High School," another manga adaptation that starred Nakamura Toru and Shimizu Kojiro. • The movie "Ashurajo no Hitome" closed last weekend's Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival. Starring kabuki actor Ichikawa Somegoro (32) and actress Miyazawa Rie (photo, 32), the period/fantasy/romance story was adapted from a recent stage play of the same name. The catch phrase is "koi wo suru to, oni ni naru" (fall in love, and you will become a demon). The film will go on general release here on April 16. Producers say they would like to enter the movie at this year's Cannes Film Festival. • Talento, pin-up girl and the face of credit company Acom, Ono Mayumi (23) has denied rumors that she and actor Sasaki Kuranosuke (37) are planning to get married in June.

One of the most visible faces in TV commercials these days, Yamada Yu (photo, 20) is in yet another new CM. The latest one for Kanebo cosmetics features the young actress-model at the ocean under a deep blue sky. Yamada's captivating smile is also working for Vodaphone, and she has been getting bigger parts in TV dramas. Like many top models, the Okinawa native got her start in the young women's magazine CanCam. • But the current CM Queen is actress Hasegawa Kyoko (26). Currently featuring in eight different commercials, including Canon's Pixus, NTT DoCoMo, and Nihon Seimei, she made the No.1 spot despite not even being in the Top 10 last year. The rankings are based on on-air time in the Kanto, Kansai and Nagoya regions. The celebrity with the most actual ad contracts is Ueto Aya (19) with 18.

Aya-chan seems to be a really hot property. Hopefully she won't get dumped by the public like other celebs.

Yep, ya gotta worry about the possibility of overexposure...
J-Lo, Ben-Lo, and Britney come to mind...
:bleh: Britney... :shit:
Hopefully Aya will stay out of that. I haven't seem Yamada Yu a lot though. Her profile on JDorama is second on Google though!

I don't think she's very pretty at all.
::Does an image search::
Well, she's not that bad. Of course, I've found out through my years of college that I tend to be more open on what's attractive. My main criteria is: woman, not more than 10 years older, not overweight/obese, not a total toothpick. :hehe:
