^ I thought Mamiya Brothers was ok. It's alright to kill time and it's not boring, but it's not really anything special, IMO. One of my favorites of Keiko's is Hitsudan Hostess. It's a TV moving with quite a heartwarming story. I think it's a real must see for Keiko fans.

I also like Keiko in the movie Matataki. A rather somber and sometimes depressing movie, but Keiko plays her part really well.

^The first half of Dear Friends is tolerable. The second half I think gets over-dramatic and some of the scenes are a little disturbing.

How's this one then? :sweat:

Yesterday I watched Keiko-chan in the movie Handsome Suit, which she was quite cute in. Also in the movie was Tanihara Shosuke whom she starred with in Mop Girl, and Tsukaji Muga who was with Keiko in Mamiya Brothers. Handsome Suit was a little cheesy and Keiko's role was kinda dissapointing. Despite being the female lead, she got less screentime than she did in Mamiya Brothers. However, the movie was great. It was hilarious and it had a good story. A solid 8.5/10

^^ Always forget about that film, been wanting to watch it, didn't realize she was in it, shame she has less screen time but I'm still gonna grab it.
Had mentioned Cherry Pie earlier, have found it but both sites don't have subs, :grumble: wonder if there's any out there?

^ When you watch Handsome Suit make sure you turn the subtitle track to English. Otherise, its default subtitles are Japanese.

Promotional pic for Keiko's new drama Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de, which starts airing next Tuesday. The synopsis sounds a little cheesy, rich girl detective whom uses the help of her butler, but I'm going to be watching it anyways since Keiko hardly ever acts in dramas. Hopefully it will turn out better than it sounds.

Some TV Spots for Keiko's new drama, Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de.

In a survey about three months back, Keiko was ranked #1 among actresses whom are "good on-screen kissers." Her Paradise Kiss co-star Mukai Osamu ranked #1 among male actors. Perhaps Keiko's kissing scene from Buzzer Beat had something to do with it...

^^ Drew an impressive rating of 18% for the first episode too, but it's got an Arashi member, :twisted: why do they have to be in so many of them, especially one of Keiko's? :puppydog:

I think it says a lot about Keiko's popularity and accomplishments that she gets lead roles along with some of the most popular actors in Japan. I think it shows that Japanese audiences love her as well. I recently saw a survey that showed Keiko with the 4th highest TV rating potential in Japan.

On another note, her movie Paradise Kiss comes out on DVD a week from today. I'm hoping that means it will be subbed within the next month. It did really well in the Box Office, reaching 2nd.

^^ Hopefully it'll get a US release though that wouldn't be for a while, unsubbed but look at what $55.48 will get you at CDjapan. :beaten:

Yup and I have screenshots too. :mrgreen: Actually, that's about the fastest I've seen it get subbed (about noon here, which would be about 5:00 am in Japan at the time).

As for the movie itself, there were a few oddball characters (no offense intended) but I guess that comes with this type of movie. Still, they were cool. Keiko was awesome as well. The visuals really impressed me, but then again the movie is made by Warner Brothers.

The previous pic is from a clip where they're showing one of Keiko's actual commercials with Palitte. The next two pics contain possible spoilers.
