I'm sure someone will tell us. :)

matsumoto is part of arashi which is represented by johnny's jimusho...so yes that's the same representation as SMAP to answer my own question.

:nut:

yeah the johnny's entertainment group won't let any official sites release pictures of their artists unless it's their own. it's to make sure all hte profit goes back to them or something like that. it's super controlling.

aw, jun does have his bad hair days, bad wardrobe days whatever.
and as for his skin, he's always had bad skin all ze way from his weeny teens. actually no amount of make up can really cover so much of his craters anyways, poor boy...

so if you notice in his earlier series - gokusen, kwp, the lighting is always overexposed, especially in kwp in the closeup scenes. some scenes are near absolutely white! (actually most japanese dramas have very 'pale' lighting for this effect - not that the talents are born with flawless skin, and definitely not that japan's weather is so...'colourless') so both the leads look flawless...
to me, it's quite a fresh experience with such dramatic lighting in hyd. they normally do it for movies. i really appreciate it.

as for jun's bad skin, i think i've come to respect him very much as an actor than an idol, so i sort of automatically overlook some of his flaws.
his acting very much make up for his 'short' comings to me (i'm more critical on his acting though.)
and i really hope that he'll progress to be a serious professional actor/talent than just another pretty face.

Shouldn't the Jdorama.com profile for this drama include Nanako Matsushima as she appears in this drama in the third episode?

:say_cool: fybabe U're a good fan, :say_cool: those that can see artists by their talent and actually critize them because of that.

i still like him, no matter what. :victory: i became to know him because he did a really good performance as Sawada in Gokusen. and then followed him in KWP and Tokyo Tower, and all those movies. and i think he is a good actor :bow: .

ganbaru yo jun! :woot: :woot:

I just watched episode two and I love it.

It is interesting to see how they adapted the manga to this drama. I have read most of the manga series and own the anime and I obesses over both so I am very familiar. I like the treatment for the most part. I think they took F4's personality quarks a bit farther for dramatic effect. I love their look too.

ps Jun has skin issues...does it matter?..It makes him human and he's still soooo cute and his acting is on point for this drama I am soo proud of him. I am watching kimi wa petto too so seeing him in these two completely different roles is thrilling. He is so versitile.

Who knows where the 3rd episode is available for download or torrent? I am in need of a Jun fix.

just watch the 2nd ep of HYD and i'm so hooked up with this as it progress I hoe\pe it will get better... :fingerscrossed:

27% on Nanako kicking MatsuJun's ass?!? LOL!

Spoiler — click to reveal

actually...the first half of 2nd ep was kinda..... flat. The story picks up, when Sakurako saw the read memo!! sugoooi....i totally forgotten, if this is really how the story goes in the manga....so, its quite a surprise for me....thinking, gee...Tsukasa is so MEAN! xD but did you see his worried face, when he saw Tsukushi being thrown by trash??^^ "Yamero!!" :love_eyes: However....i dislike the 'namero' part.....>_<

What made me went hyped was the LAST scene!(soooo unreal! haha!) and the 3rd ep preview, indeed! Nanako's appearance what Im 2nd most ureshii abt.

I felt the MOST ureshiiii....to know that one of my MOST favorite plot in the manga, will be shown in the drama!! Kyaaaaaa......the first time Tsukasa ask Tsukushi out on a date!! hahaha....it was one of the sweetest yet funniest plot!^o^ i love it so much!

In the 3rd ep preview, there was Tsukasa(with a really kawaii funny face) came near to Tsukushi all of the sudden, mentioning ONLY the time and the place, then runs off, leaving Tsukushi puzzled...wondering what was that all about...haha!! CANNOT WAIT!
