^ maybe they could just make it as a movie,not really a jdrama.since there are so many eps, just like what obentou said...

Yeah, I think that's a better idea.

Or you could always watch the Bleach musicals on YouTUbe. It's only there that you can see dancing Hitsugaya-taichou, Kuchiki-taichou, and Ichimaru Gin.

OMG it's true! At first I thought you were just refferring to the TWDrama "My MVP Valentine" .. so I checked the link to confirm and

Jay Chou and Charlene Choi.

OMG.

Who's Jay Chou gonna portray? Rukawa? And don't tell me Charlene Choi's Haruko?

I'm currently reading the site translated to English by Babelfish, but as expected the page has been translated too literally (i.e., wrong grammar) so I'm trying to do my best to comprehend it.

Here's another article I found for the Slam Dunk Live-Action Movie.

Charlene Choi and Jay's basketball romance in "Slam Dunk"

Jay Chou and Charlene will be starring in 2008's Chinese new year film, "Slam Dunk" (temp translated name, the movie is like a spin off of the manga/anime "Slam Dunk"). The total investment of the movie will be over US$10 million; planned filming time will be two to three months, then over half a year to do the special effects and after filming production. After Japan's Funakoshi Eiji joined the investor's team, EMG won the HK district investor place with a bid of over HK$10 million. A grand begin shooting ceremony will be held at the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Zero Meter Hall on the 11th. Besides the two lead actors, there will also be Eric Tsang, Wilson Chen Bo-Lin, Jacky Wu Zong-Xian, etc.

Earlier on, Jay had said that his character will have romantic relationships with a number of the actresses in the movie; Charlene will be the manager of the basketball team and Jay likes her secretly and had to use all types of ways to get to her.

Charlene laughed, "I want to know what kind of ways the director planned for Jay to chase me, but since his opposite gender attraction is so strong, I'm sure he'll have something to share with the director and script writer. I saw that some articles said Jay's character will be a virgin, it's a bit troublesome on why it became a main focus. Please don't plan anything that includes me helping Jay to become a man, I'll agree to do other high difficulty things!"

When mentioned that Bo-Lin will be her brother instead of lover this time, Charlene said that it's easier to reach and can be more near to reality and that they can display their wild side more completely because that's how they really are outside the picture.

Why is the plot such a far cry from the manga? I don't remember anyone meeting a kung-fu master there. Oh, and Charlene Choi is gonna be like sort of Ayako.

I've always thought Paranoia Agent would've made a cool J-Drama. The anime wasn't up there on my favorites list, but I think seeing it as a Drama would be cool.

...And you know... Tokyo Mew Mew would be cool too.
I mean, they did Sailor Moon.. so I think they could do a Tokyo Mew Mew drama okay.

The idea of an ouran host club drama sounds very appealing.

Kitagawa Keiko? I don't disagree But I used to think Horikita Maki, since she can work that creepy aura.. or even Olivia Lufkin. xD

Yeah, not F4 They'll have to be very careful with the cast, since the four boys are so elusive (with their lips! ) What about Johnny's boys? I think Akanishi Jin is perfect for Takano Kyouhei, and Koike Teppei as Yukinojo xD since he's just like a little boy xD

Glad you don't disagree.

Since Sunako isn't all that ugly....and all, plus Keiko got nice long black hair


i don't know with anything bout Jin, but I really really don't want to see any Johnny's in this, but if it goes that route, ratings won't be that high Just as long as I don't see Kame and that Ryo character. I'm happy

Yeah. Sunako-chan is actually very pretty ne? I was also thinking Kuriyama Chiaki since she has the same hairstyle (only hers is more groomed than Sunako's xD) but we should also select J-actresses who deserve more exposure. Chiaki has had enough IMHO. xD Horikita Maki.. *shrugs* But since she's in the tentative cast list of the Ouran Koukou Hosutobu live-action.. *shrugs*

Oooh, so you don't like Kame and Ryo? I don't think they'd be suited for any of the four boys' roles though.

We forgot something! The Goth Loli girls! Any suggestions?

i don't think Chiaki will do.........if so maybe for Noi-Chi???? or the two can switch roles

If Maki was to be in this......i'd be highly disappointed with the casting, unless she was one of the Goth-Loli girls


uhhhhh........i don't know who'd they use, but the girl who played in BUSU would be great....the short and fat one. It'd be too funny
OOHH!!!!!!!!!!!! They should use the girls of Hinoi Team. Since they are a team of 4 and the Goth-Loli girls are too....but Hinoi team would make those girls look too pretty hahaha

and Ebi-Yuri would be great for Landlady, since she's suppose to be a beautiful woman

No... don't use Chiaki for Noi-chi. Somebody else.. just not here.

I think Maki will make the GothLoli girls look pretty too. xD And her fans will us when they find this out. xDDDDDDD

And yeah, not the Hinoi team. Maybe they could be the kogals who bullied Sunako in the first few eps, so that the tan and ganguro-ish make up will hide there pretty-ness. xD

lol.


I see......the casting has now become a bit difficult

hmm.........Aragaki Yui??? she has long black hair and bangs....but she has cute smile too so maybe she can play Noi-Chi


hmm........who else might work.

OOHH!!!!!! they should pick out some of the girls from Gal-Circle. Not the main ones cause they look too good. So randomly pick from the rest of the girls in that drama to be Goth-Loli girls


And yea....Kame and Ryo = big no no.

Uhh.....none of the other guys from News either. Yamapi doesn't fit any of the guy's characteristics either. Either or, I just hope this anime becomes a drama because its soo funny The Manga is hilarious too
