Nice! Smaller than usual though? Was the original pretty small?

Yes, unfortunately it was pretty small and this is the best I could do. The original is only like 2 times a stampLs size. Too bad; some big pics from that shooting would be nice. HavenLt seen any other pic from it till now.

Btw, Sango, what's with the dude in the avatar. I don't think that's you. Do you know him? :hehe:

Yeah, Aya must be proud of herself when she sees that pic. ^^

Errr, about my avatar ... what if it is me ?

...............................................................




Nah seriously it isn't me. But I "sort of" know him.

.................................................................

Yeah Thy-kun, Aya did introduce him to me...

.................................................................

:sweat: Sorry u're not the only one sharing secrets with Aya-chan... Well although we don't have a secret baby together (:say_ouch:) , unlike you with Goya, we randomly meet each other and spend some time together. :D

..................................................................

Well err back to topic : That guy is a lightning technician working on hotelier stage. It doesn't look as if he was, but he is. He's so funny and everyone calls him "Mr long-hair-san". That makes Aya laugh :rofl: especially when she realised his hair was actually longer than her's (the hotelier hair, with extensions) :rofl: But he's a good guy and harworking one. In fact, you can see that it's still night time on the pic : it's 5:00 am. The team had to shoot a scene for hotelier very early in the morning, so that's why. Aya too was of course present. Well she gradually woke up earlier and earlier the past days to be ready for this day, so she was okay don't worry (I was there too in case of need :mrgreen: man, 5:00 am !!! BUt I had to do it, it was for Aya ;) ).
Hm well after the shooting we spent some time together , Aya, me and Mr Long-hair-san. So as he is friendly, I got along well with him. That's why I've post his pic in the thread, to pay him a tribute for all his hard work alongside Aya-chan.
I wanted you guys to know that there are not only soppy actors turning around Aya-chan all day like flies : there are also honest, hard-working men and women.

They are the ones from the Azumi 1 photobook I thought.
Freefall mentioned that they were available before on aya-ueto.net, so I thought that everyone had them already. No?
I downloaded them off bit torrent.

AH yes that's true. aya-ueto.net has closed recently. Anyway for my part there were 1 or 2 pics I didn't have in that .zip file.

As for the guys, they are okay looking but look a bit too old for Aya and Saeko and maybe even the AP girl? However, this is just my opinion =

I agree. (the AP girl is Yoo Min, she has a japanese name but can't remeber. She's around 30 now :mrgreen: :wow: Missu shigatsu has gotten older LOL. Well it really doesn't look as if she's 30.)
About the guys, well I'm not an Xpert, but I find that besides the 2 mains guys, the scene is empty ~~~ Though they are quite handsome, they don't take care enough about the skin of their cheeks :p . Whereas the bell boy is clean but not handsome :p.
ANd yeah they still look a bit too old compared to the ladies. But at least they do look younger than the original hotelier's characters LOL (same comment for the ladies). But why do u wan the AP girl to get along with a man ? LOL I seriously cannot see any character in the drama worthy enough to get along with her, she's way too mature/intelligent/evil/hot/independant/ non-fragile for these kids.

miss shigatsu is 30 years old? my god she looks about 22!

Yeah :wow: !
Remember these funny AP scenes when she says she's still in her twenties, when misaki jokes about their old age ? Yeah that was actually true, at that time she was 29 ! And her (scary) mate was really 30 LOL. Look at the casting of AP on Jdorama there are normally their date of birth.
Anyway I'll have to watch the famous korean drama in which yoo min made her fame. Can't remember the name but it's written everywhere, she played an evil woman in some love drama.

thanks. You always have the answers Jinzo :victory:

Hotelier:
Hotelier___11.1%_8.0%_8.6%_7.5%

So this is horribly bad right? It only went over 10% the first day.

Yes, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as an undesirable rate. But same case happens to many other dramas this season. Don't know why?

In fact, I get a bad mood in these days because some of the Japanese and chinese media have said something extremely bad to aya just becasue of the rate, really bad. Can 'number' represent everything? It'd be a poor society if it's. But it's glad to know that quite a lot audience in Japan don't think so. Well, as an audience, as long as the work is interesting, such meaningless number is nothing to me.

@Freefall, Thanks for your report about the chocolate. I also want to taste how soft it's :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:
and thanks a lot for your larger version of the pic. I find it very special. I like it. :mrgreen:

Let me tell you something. If I was living in Japan, due to the airing schedule of Hotelier I probably wouldn't have watched it. Because the first part of night is one of the few schedule when my brain is 100% working, i.e when I can learn the best.
Plus, dunno if it is true, but Japan is said to be one of the country where people works the most (not much holidays). And personally, when I look around me, the working people are really asleep in the sofa after dinner soooo .... Yes these ratings only catch a little part of the whole party who is interested in hotelier.
Hm and maybe there is another big series going on Japanese broadcastings dunno. Or else people have been watching reports about replacing the old constitution, you know, the one which denies military forces to Japan except for self-defense.
Anyway, just because the media underlined the gap between the ratings of the japanese remake and the original korean one, though it's meaningless, it's regrettable to see the journalists being so narrow-minded. :shakehead: It's not because you don't have anything to say that you have to say stoopid statements. :shakehead:
Buck up Jinzo ! :patpat:

edit : btw have u tasted Uchi no Gohan ?
edit 2 : plus it's not all Aya's fault if the rating is bad. Must be also because the fangirls of "Bae :inlove:" are not at the rendez-vous, they are sulking the slanting eyes of Mizusawa and the hardworking Ogata. :shakehead:

I might just make a livejournal page for my scans. I don't think I'll be able to find that SQl stuff. But livejournal looks a bit messy in my opinion. I dont have any good html looks for it. Here's the test i made messing around with the codes. Nothing there yet.


http://thygriever.livejournal.com/

here is that photoset.

note: I totally love these pics!!! (as expected with photos like these from that time and Fuji DVD look :mrgreen: )
Aya is so naturral and cute. I really miss photoshoots like this nowadays.

Livejournal is great for hosting pictures. There are no individual size limit and it's fast, you only have to allow Google ads on your journal and it's free for 1G of pictures.
Yes, I agree, it's difficult to customize your layout like you want it to be.

Thanks for sharing, Freefall! :woot:
