No problem Aya...how are you going to have enough time to post here and at our original forum?

Hi Susie,
The posts at the "Sakura" thread that you started at japan-guide.com which got the ball rolling for this Ozawa interest, move at a slower pace than here. So I think I can keep up with both. Besides I would never abandon my 'Cheesy Romance Club' companions. No way!!!!

Yikes, I go and have dinner and there's another page here? I see you are using this forum to its fullest. And yes my mug is at that same thread as bmwracer.

I found you!!! The other cutie pie!!! I didn't notice that you were only one photo down from bmwracer. Your photo is a little small but I could still see your great smile. Now how could I ever have thought you two were ladies! LOL!

A little of both and then some. We have Japanese programs that air on the weekends, and have some DVDs obtained from a multiple of sources, like Bittorrent and trades via snail mail.

Well my hair is longer....

I hope she doesn't mind but shek55 shared this information about Yukiyoshi Ozawa over at the thread we are in together at japan-guide.com.

Quote from shek55 or Susie at japan-guide.com:

"My friend Mami-san from Tokyo tells me that Yukiyoshi's real name is Seiichi. Below is her explanation...
"He is called Seiichi Ozawa in Japan and his father is Seiji. When
an actress was interviewed about a drama that Seiichi performed with,
she pronounced him Seiichi. So he is known as Seiichi and NHK
introduced him Seiichi. I have never heard that he was called as
Yoshiyuki in Japan. Additionally, his sisiter nemrd Seira.Father-Seiji,
Seiichi, sister-Seira have same kanji charactor in their name and it
prpnounce as Sei. He maybe changed his name as a performer?" "

I love this show "Sakura". Cool character really want to get to know them much better but Yukiyoshi is on the top 5. Really convincing and great actor.

Hi Space Godzilla,
Nice to meet you. I know what you mean about the show " Sakura." Either it is love or hate. I love it and it was my first introduction to Yukiyoshi's acting. He has a certain mellow quality to him that I really enjoy. Good acting is so subtle, isn't it? So if Yukiyoshi is on the top 5, who are your other 4 favorites Space Godzilla?

Hey nice to meet you. My other 4 would just be diffrent actors from the show.
1.Keiko Immamura -nurse I really like her shes beautiful. Even though shes not a main character I think she should still be in more episodes.
2. Yukiyoshi Ozawa- Katsuragi rules. I started to dislike him cause of his attitude but he actually opens up more I started to connect with him.
3. Masami Nagasawa - Ok so shes the Numata's oldest daughter.Thats not enough she has the skils to become a better character in her role.
4.Takano Shiho- Great character in Sakura I am starting to see now that she has a more serious side and not always cheerful.

Well thats four guess I only have a top four for this show but hey the future will bring more characters I hope.

Hmmm I can see why you chose those actors as your favorites Space Godzilla. Me I am older than most board member here so I like the man who plays Leo, Sawada, the Principal ( he has a great voice) and there is something about the boy who plays the youngest Numata son that I like too. Got to say that my favorite is still Yukiyoshi Ozawa. He has a definite quality about him that captures my attention, hands down. Ohh will there be more characters? There are so many already? And as you can see I can't remember their names now. How will I learn more!!! LOL!

Oh yes I knew it how can I forget Sawada he's a cool character really strict but rather nice in a sense.
Leo I forgot to say his name he's great my sister just cracks up when she sees him smiling all the time. I'm sure there would be a few more characters I'm up to episode 108 I think.

^^^ O.K. I decided to link the names of the cast members of "Sakura" because I have such a hard time remembering all of them. When I look them up on this board they only give the actors real names not their character's names.

Thanks dochira for that suggestion. I will. I don't have time tonight but soon.

Hi All,

Here is a little gossip about Yukiyoshi Ozawa provided by Brenda from Long Island, NY over at japan-guide.com.

"I just read this,maybe you guy's know already but just in case. The relationship between actor Ozawa Yukiyoshi and actress Hayasaka Yoshie is getting serious, after they received their parents blessings. The pair appeared together in the 1999 movie The Pigs Curse. That's one lucky girl would'nt you say."

A girlfriend, huh...No, no that just can't be!!! He is single and free as a bird, I tell you, free as a bird!!!

Hey BMWracer,

Have you checked out iaTV yet? It's on Ch28 on comcast in the Bay Area.
Apparently they are showing Bewitched with your favorite girl.

Can you give me a quick recap of Yoshitsune? I watched this weekend for Yukiyoshi Ozawa but he hasnt appeared yet. I know that Shanao was spared by this father's enemy as a child. Was he mother and himself both in monitored exile ?

Hi All,

As you all know I am currently watching the "Sakura" series being shown in NY. This past episode #112 they finally had Yukiyoshi Ozawa speak English for a few lines. Well of course it was flawless. Seems to me that one of these days we will see more of Yukiyoshi in some major English speaking part on the Big Screen. I would love to see him act with any big time established movie star. I have no doubt that he could give them a run for their money!

Hey...

I'm in SoCal, so I'm an episode or two behind you guys... Check the KTSF thread (http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.4784.htm) and the Yoshitsune thread (http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.5197.htm)...

And yeah, I've been talking with the other NorCal guys about Bewitched, but none of them have IATV access...
