As much as I want them too, it's not out yet... :sweat:

But from what I know, he has already trimmed his hair and we should be able to see it in later's SMAPXSMAP ending talk corner... praying hard though coz from the pictures in TV Guide, he wore a cap so much of his hair wasn't seen but I did notice that the length of his hair seems to have shortened a fair bit... ^_^

3Peace...
Orenji


ya rite!! I agreed with Orenji cos from what I watch the SmapxSmap on 2/28 ending part.. i think everyone had notice that Takuya had trimmed his hair even though he was wearing a hat.. I think he will be soon showing us his new hairstyle for his new drama, cant wait until 18 April.. hehehe

Really ... ??? Very short or a little bit short ...??

because i did not watch SMAPxSMAP ... can't wait for his latest image ...and style ... must be shorter than PRIDE ... because for my own opinion watching all the REAL F1 Racer like Michael ... they're all in short hair ...

Kimura Takuya was a teacher in Long Vacation. He taught piano... if memory servers, his main pupil was Hirosue Ryoko.

He was a teacher first and a pianist second throughout the dorama. It's only at the end of the dorama that he again becomes a dedicated pianist. Remember, he was a teacher because he was taking a "Long Vacation" from being a pianist.
-PCM
I meant him as a class teacher at a comprenhensive school level. He never had that role.

Nikyy, thanks a lot for providing the shows! TBS is really on fire with the lineups. Aikuru seems to be a family drama according to the pics. Attack no 1 based on a manga, perhaps? Looks like. I'm most looking toward to RURI NO SHIMA. I like Yutaka Takenouchi's acting and so crazy over Naomi Nishida, I just love her dramas and movies, period. I have doubts on Engine, remember Pride? Ugh

Thanks nikyy :dancing: for the line ups plus additional info.

As for MAGARIKADO NO KANOJO,

I suspect Izumi Inamori's character will have some sort of romantic possibilities with Tsuyoshi Ihara's character, ne?
Well, this pairing is not bad.
But I think it will be more interesting if the Jun Kaname's character also involve in Izumi's love life.
It will spice up the story. :muack:

I am just so glad Oshio Manabu is returning to act on TV after a break of about a year. But a little disappointed though with his pairing with Yada Akiko in this new show. But no offence, she does look a little too old for him?

But remember, the scriptwriter and director of Engine were the team behind the success of Shiroi Kyoto. And besides, this is not entirely a love story, and has a lot of talented children acting alongside Kimura.
