hey zchendevlemh that's the link to the article that i posted... but yeah, i can't understand how a 7 min movie part can lead to critism about his damn shoes.... i mean everyone knows he's not the tallest guy on earth, that's not new wtf?.... damn media....
on a side note: remember when he was filmming beautiful life.. when he would talk with miki mizuno.. and he would have to stand on a little ramp?... that was funny.... :mrgreen:
For any of you who don't know, my sis found out that Kimura's gonna be the voice of a supporting character named "Howl" in Miyazaki's new movie called " Howl's Moving Castle" :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: Sorry it seems funny, if you see what the character looks like and picture his voice with Kimura's you'd possibly laugh too..... :P :hehe: :nut: :rolleyes: :google: :applaud:

Johnny & Associates, Kimura's talent agency and one of the most powerful handlers of celebrities in the country, is apparently renowned for rejecting tall applicants to join its stables of studs.
"Johnny's looks first for coordination, then looks and then the ability to sing when it decides to take somebody on," entertainment beat hack Masaaki Hiruma tells Shukan Shincho. "Tall people can't move as well and Johnny's don't think they're cute, so they stay well clear of them."
Johnny's spin doctors refuse to discuss the matter.
"How could you even ask to answer such a stupid question?" one says to Shukan Shincho.
i totally agree with this.. look at nagase, matsuoka, aiba.. they are NOT short.. it is really a stupid question..

Nah..he's 1.75 m. It doesn't make sense if he's 1.67 m. We all have seen him in concert wearing just sneakers right? And he's slightly shorter than Katori Shingo who is 1.83 m. Perhaps the one who wrote that article was a bit jealous of his success.

SMAP's Kimutaku beats Beckham as ideal father in poll
Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 06:23 JST
TOKYO — Takuya Kimura, an actor and singer in the hugely successful Japanese pop band SMAP, has won the unofficial title of the ideal young father over British soccer star David Beckham in a poll ahead of Father's Day on June 20.
Sanford Japan Ltd, which imports and sells Parker-brand pens, said Saturday its recent poll to decide "the most wonderful papa" put Kimura, popularly known as Kimutaku in Japan, on top with 406 votes of 1,312 valid responses from Japanese. Beckham came a distant second with 74. (Kyodo News)
Used the "Search" function but couldn't find the answer to my question, :( so if it's already been posted somewhere before, gomen!
I really like the actor/actress combination of Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako. :D I thought they were great together in Hero, Love Generation, and Long Vacation. :)
Besides the 3 mentioned above, are there any more programs in which these two have acted together? I seem to recall hearing that they acted together in a few more JDoramas but can't remember in which programs.
UWF,
Thanks, but I had already listed Hero as one that I've watched ... or did you mean some other program? I'm looking for others besides Hero, Love Generation and Long Vacation.
there might be some where they were in the same drama but with one of them getting smaller roles so they never did act much together. Can't think of any at the moment though
Chuushingura 1/47 - both of them are in the drama but didn't have much scene together.. Takako play the wife of Kimura's master... http://jdorama.com/drama_738.htm
Konya wa eigyouchu - both are in there as well.. but Takako has a very small part.. maybe only 2 scene so not much chemistry.. http://jdorama.com/drama_226.htm
Boku ga boku de aru tame ni - both are in there as well, the whole SMAP members as well..but they didn't play the couple thingy so not much chemistry as well... http://jdorama.com/drama_40.htm
Furuhata Ninzaburo 1 - both of them are in this as well.. but i think they all play in different cases... not sure about this never watched it myself.. http://jdorama.com/drama_89.htm
