Hana Yori Dango

funny how things tend to work out for creative ideas! :crazy:

Isn't this all just speculation? I remember about 5 or 6 months ago, the same rumors came about and nothing has happened. Although I'd love to see a Japanese version of Hana Yori Dango, I don't think it's going to happen for awhile because I heard that the producer of Meteor Garden has the rights to the show until 2005. Besides....is it me or is anyone else worried that it would be hard to pull off? HYD is my favorite story and was disappointed w/ some aspects of Meteor Garden. Besides, a dorama usually lasts from 10-12 episodes, right? Well the anime was made in 1996 and it took 51 episodes and they still had to cut some parts from the anime. Meteor Garden took 20 seventy minute episodes and it only reached Volume 28 (and it looks like HYD will end with 35 or 36 volumes) and, again, they had to cut some things out. I'm worried that they can pull it off with such a limited amount of time.

yah... what slackey says makes sense.. i think in japan the hana yori dango craze has gone down too.. as with taiwan or singapore or anywhere else.. i might be interested to see a new japanese version of hana yori dango though..

I have the Japanese movie version of HYD filmed in 1995. :D

wah...
really?
u really do have it!!~ :love_eyes:
is it subtitled or not? :crazy:
huhuhuhh!!~~ :rolleyes2:

I'm sorry to all her fans, but I really can't stand Kyoko Fukada--I just hate her! She can't act, and she always plays such whiny, stubborn, unbearable characters which make an otherwise good drama horrible. For instance, I was pretty curious about Strawberry On The Shortcake because it starred one of my favourite actor/singers, Takizawa Hideaki. But I'm disappointed because now that I know she's in it, I don't want to watch it anymore. Anyway, I also really like the idea of Yuko Takeuchi playing the lead role. She's a cute and versatile actress who matches perfectly with Oshio Manabu. I can't wait to watch it!

aaahh.. a bit off-topic, but arashilove.. another arashi fan.. ureshii..!!!! :love_eyes:

Amen. I boycott all her shows.

I agree with every single word you have said! I couldn't agree more, it's like you pulled it right from my brain before it could hit my mouth, LOL.

LOL, I remember that movie. I thought it sucked though. Doumiyouji's actor....no, just...NO. I thought the movie generally was too "goofy".

so is this true?? the new version to this drama?? personally i also think oshio manabu fits the role...i liked him in Love Revolution..

My thoughts exactly. I remember laughing hysterically when I saw the kick where Makino strikes Doumyouji and declares war on him. I thought it was...cheesy.

No, this drama is currently not under production and I don't think it will be for a long time or even ever. I think it was just rumors that started circulating about a year ago.

Wondering who is left to play the female lead if there really will be a show.
Ryoko is pregnant, utada is planing on entering the US market, most of the previous other contenders for the role no longer fit the bill as they get older and are not able to pull of the part of a young teenage girl.

not kyoko.. i really dont agree.. yuko is a good actress but she hasnt got the look.. i think mai kuraki would be the best.. she has the looks for the next san chai.. dont know bout her acting though.. hehe

haha, it will be pretty difficult to get ppl to post here I think, since ppl on the arashi+shun oguri -threads post like crazy! Unfortunately I can't add info, but I contibute this link: http://jdorama.com/drama.956.htm
I just found it. I'm definitely going to read the manga just to get to know the storyline.
Since the main actress doesn't have special looks (no offend ^^), I still hope that she has great personality, how else would she be able to win Jun's heart *g*

Heee!!!!???? I like a lot this anime/manga!!!! Drama with Matsumoto Jun?? yey*

My older sister influenced me to read this thing, and i thought "this is cool, huh". I really liked the original work. I think that this dorama will be a change in popularity from the Taiwanese version. In this production my staff and costars will make Hana Yori Dango different. This will mean we're together as a group for a long time. Right now doing the scenes isn't easy. This is going to be a new school drama for me I think.
