The roulette bowling version of Nov 14th SXS - Takuya looks very very kakkoi...... his new hairstyle is much nicer than the previous one..
Huan - you can buy the Pride VCD boxset from TS or Poh Kim - and its a dorama not a movie. Highly recommend that you watch it.
Or you can try dl-ing from www.d-addicts.com
TAKUYA Kimurafs screen time in Wong Kar Waifs 2046 may have been limited but it was enough to leave an impression. Since then, Japanfs favourite son has been inundated with film offers.
One of them is a starring role in Yoji Yamadafs A Bit of Samurai, the final chapter in his samurai trilogy after The Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade. The opportunity to work with the renowned director was simply too precious for Kimura to pass up. Movie studio Shochiku announced that Kimura, 32, would play a young blind swordsman who is out for revenge.
The YesAsia.com website reported that Yamada was impressed with Kimura. On his first meeting with the star, Yamada said he felt as emotionally charged as when he first encountered screen legend Ken Takakura.
Filming for A Bit of Samurai is scheduled to begin in December and slated for release in Japan next autumn. Following the huge success of The Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade, there are already high expectations for A Bit of Samurai to do as well as its predecessors.
im currently watching ENGINE and its turned me into a kimutaku fan~!
i did see HERO but it really didnt click with me so i didnt venture into any of his other doramas. good thing i stumbled upon engine. its too cute. XD and i looove the part when he cried. T_T
which other drama should i watch next?
im not really into heavy love/drama plots...
if you've truly only discovered kimura recently i suggest you watch long vacation....it's a romance to be sure but it isn't too depressing it has a fair share of humor...long vacation is probably the most famous kimura drama for all time...one of the highest rated dramas in japanese history...also watch love generation
i really admire kimura takuya as an actor but i agree with you about hero...i really didn't care for that show at all....that was probably the only kimura drama that i didn't like.
good luck is good too
beautiful is awesome but it has a "heavy" storyline...
pride is good as well as ppl suggested...the list goes on and on.

kimura takuya will star in a samurai movie directed by yoji yamada, famous for directing the hidden blade and twilight samurai. he'll be playing a blind swordsman who seeks revenge for the death of his wife...it will be a big opportunity for kimura takuya because yoji yamada is one of the most famous directors in all of japan and it will be a theaterical release in the movies, not television.

I watched "Beautiful Life" and there's one more episode before I finish "Good Luck!!".
Was he really 30 in "Good Luck!!" ??? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!!
He looked older in "Beautiful Life", drama he did 5 years ago...
Excuse me if this question has been beaten to death, but can you explain me what is Kimura Takuya doing right now?
Does any know where to get all the oldest drama like... "Long Vacation, Beautiful Life, Hero, Sleeping Forest"... etc... in S'pore ?
I would like to collect the DVD (if no choice than VCD)...
Not the duplicate copy type, i would like to get a brand new original copy...
:say_thanx: to all in advance....
:inlove: Takuya Kimura till i die.. haha :smitten: :bonk:
