Yoshitsune - NHK Taiga Drama for 2005

Thanks for posting the pics! I'm really looking forward to this drama. Yeah, Takki is pretty, but he's proven that he can act and I think he'll do well in this. Am loving the costumes! :woot: And yes, the ponytail as well. ;)

I'm so looking forward to see this!!

Takky looks so drooly !! and it seems that this taiga drama will be GREAT too.

Hate to say this, but he does look pretty good as Yoshitsune. The question now is does he sound and act like Yoshitsune...

Well, we just got to wait for that...when it's aired.

lolll... we'll find out soon in 2005...

he's working quite hard to get *into* the real character of yoshitsune... every magazine article and newspaper article i've read praised him to be totally in-character... and fits yoshitsune so well... (unless every single magazine and newspaper in japan are biased LOL) he said he's trying really hard to not neglect the smallest details in his performance to be in character with yoshitsune. especially because yoshitsune is a lonely man... he said he has to notice every single detail in his acting to make sure that yoshitsune's loneliness is reflected.

i'm really curious about the scene where he meets benkei.... the goujyou bridge scene... a friend told me NHK went all out to shoot this scene... quite a popular scene in the yoshitsune saga too......

takki also said in a magazine article... he shot this one scene where shanaou had to dive into a waterfall.... so yeah he dove into the waterfall basin........ kakkoisou... *kicks 2005 to hurry up and come bring me yoshitsune-sama*

Higayashima Noriyuki (also from Johnny's Ent.) played this character before. I saw one episode only..he was GREAT. I hope Takki can play this role as well. I think he can since he is very talented. Well, I'm not bias here, I do admit that he is a great actor not too mention a great singer.

I saw one of his butais (musical stage) in which he performed really good and was total into the character he played.

I think Takki can pull it off. Takki was my fav Johnny's when I first started. I've come to like other Johnny's but I feel Takki is a good actor. I can't wait until this drama airs. I hope they show it in Hawaii.

can anyone tell me Satomi Ishihara's character's name in this taiga drama? it seems that she's the leading female........ right?

am really looking forward to this!!^o^ looked like a Japanese Wuxia series...haha.....doesnt look historical....more like those Chinese wuxia series :hehe:

haha....abe hiroshi looks so funny^^

so does Yoshitsune have 2 love interests? i wonder what's his relationship with Utsubo and Satomi Ishihara's character? and it seems he's together with Utsubo in a journey for some time....

Thanks for posting the pics, Yanie-chan! I am so looking forward to this series now!!!

Wow, thanks for all the screenshots of this new series! It looks to be great and I can't wait to see it! =D When I heard about this series and how Takizawa Hideaki was going to be dressed in samurai-ish clothes I was so excited.

This Taiga drama will start to air on January 9 2005...I've seen the trailer on NHK and I'm looking forward to it! :woot:

Found this on Takki's Thoughts site and I thought that I must post it =D
