I cannot open the websites, but from what I see on this morning's Mezamashi News, they announced about HERO DAY event, and also Kudo's 20th anniversary concert (she debuted in 1987).

==> Hero promotion??? And Kudo Shizuka held her 20th anniversary concert!!! Ne,, can someone translate this please???
This morning's Mezamashi Saturday features HERO event's news. Yesterday, there was a "HERO DAY" event at Odaiba. A marathon of all 11 episodes of the HERO series, and the movie all were shown on the big screen, a total of 14 hours. At the end, Kimura came as a surprise guest. Some college students who just graduated the law undergraduate program and aiming to be public prosecutors were invited to the event, and Kimura shook their hand one by one.
There's also an interview. A funny question by the announcer, "Kimura-san, do you think Kuryu-san has no girlfriend at all in that 6 years? What do you think? Or, did he keep thinking about Amamiya?" Seem like Kimura feels funny with the question and didn't know how to answer, "I wonder too.... hmm... do you worry about it, that much??!". Haha! The announcer is this funny girl and its obvious she's nervous...lol! So Kimura kinda bully/tease her, "Let me see your note paper! I wanna see the questions you prepared! Let me see it!". Haha....Kimura is so naughty, the announcer tried to hide the paper...but Kimura managed to snatch it
There's a preview of the scene where Kuryu talks in Japanese, and Amamiya translated it to Korean to someone... but it was sooooo funny!!! You just gotta see that yourself... and I don't know why there's "aishiteiru" and "saranheyo" in their dialogues...LOL! (means "I love you" in japanese and korean) Kuryu and Amamiya looks so dumb in this scene
Then there's Kudo 20th year anniversary concert news... not much to tell, the announcer just reported how many songs she sings, where the concert held, etc, etc. Kudo also mimicked this famous female comedian way of talk... I think...
Wow, father busy with movie filmings, mother busy with concert, I guess the girls are taken care by the grandparents now, ne~

Goro-chan is so cute today in SmaStation's Tsuki Ichi Goro!!^^ He ranked 5 movies:
1. Transformers
2. Saiyuuki The Movie
3. Sicko
4. Rush Hour 3
5. Vexile (anime movie)
When he commented on Saiyuuki, he complained, "Why am I not invited to be guest?? Tsuyoshi-kun appeared desho? Then, Kimura-kun also appeared in the series.... why wasn't I invited too??".
Hahaha~ be patient, boy! Takes time for Shingo to love you more than Kimura and Tsuyoshi, lol!
Then seems like he looooooooooove Transformers so much! He said, "SUBARASHII NE~~!!!". He kept going and going about the movie. But the host, the middle-aged lady couldn't really give feedbacks about it...and doesn't seem interested either... I mean, its a transforming robot movie, desho?? haha! But he kept going and going about it... until SmaStation cuts it and give a note "Inagaki Goro keeps going for about 20 minutes"....hahaha!!
A question, transformers... the cars that can change to robots? Or is it robots that can change to cars?? This is the same as Japanese mecha, right?? Like Voltus V, or Gundam? Or, Evangelion? No? xD
Somehow it reminds me of Japanese robots animations. And I remember Goro is a big fan of Gundam. _________________

Are you sure? Coz I was checking "Transformers" history at Wikipedia, and it seems it is originally American's idea.... "Transformers" animation was made even before Japanese Voltus V, Macross or Patlabor.
I'm interested to know whether, those "robots in disguise" are originally American or Japanese idea? _________________

Transformer toys were originally Japanese but an American toy company came up with the backstory for characters. It was a cartoon and comic book series in the US first. It was really popular when I was little. I know I saw a bunch of the cartoon episodes but don't remember anything about them.

Alright then, to make this thread livelier... let me post a translation...
From HERO Official Book ~ Page 70-73
KIMURA TAKUYA X MATSU TAKAKO ~ Special Talk
translated by Yanie
Long Vacation, Love Generation, and HERO--- The Golden Combi that united with the glowing radiance of the big hits in Japanese drama history's tag, Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako's special talk is right here!
They are comrades in the repeatedly victorious and continuous battles, and now they look back and talk about the movie's filming, casts, also Kuryu Kohei and Amamiya Maiko's special relationship in a relax mode.
Kimura: I don't think Amamiya would ever dress like this... (laughs)
Matsu: (laughs)
Kimura: But Kuryu would never dress like this either, huh? Even if he has this kinda suit, he'll say, "I only wear this in court!" ... (laughs)
Q: HERO members are really in good terms, ne?
Kimura: The atmosphere was just like at-home... It was weird, because this time there were many guest stars too, in the filming, but the atmosphere still felt close, chummy. So, just like today, though it was natural in the filming location, but to meet one of the Josai branch office casts in another place like this, on the contrary, there's just a different shine. Today, Matsu-san come with a really personal, private looks, right? So, it feels weird for me. Because this is "Matsu Takako-san" here, not "Amamiya". In the HERO filming location, she was O-Matsu (=his pet name/term of endearment for her^^), but also Amamiya. So it really feels weird, to meet in a situation like this. I think the other casts would feel the same.
Q: To look back on the whole series, is there a favorite or a significant scene for you?
Kimura: For me, I like the Ishigaki island (in the last episode) scene. Period. (laughs)
Matsu: E~ ?
Kimura: I mean, under the clear blue sky, when the different characters met, it was very natural. It feels like, their relationship... is it like, is it hate, is it love, is it not love, they didn't say even a single word, but on the contrary, it's a scene where lots of words and feelings can be expressed. I like that scene.
Matsu: My favorite scene is... the dorama is included, right?
Kimura: Didn't I talk about the dorama just now??!! (laughs)
[note: Haha... I didn't know Matsu is a slow-thinker ]
Matsu: Oh, I feel relieved (laughs). It's difficult. Maybe, the scene where Abe-san caught the criminal. Everyone was on the scene too, and that time Abe-san was running in a slow-motion, really! Along with the music. When I saw that, tears came out. It was a touching moment.
Kimura: At the back of a family restaurant...
Matsu: I was like, "Wow~!!". I like that scene. It really has the HERO feel. Though I wasn't an important part of that scene, but it was really a great time (laughs).
Kimura: When I watch the movie, I start to think again, that the Josai branch office people really balanced each other. I feel glad to see that.
Q: Seem like there are "significant" shots of Kuryu and Amamiya in the movie, but how come it took so much time for these two to reach that phase? Amamiya was trying to make an approach, but on the other hand... Is Kuryu-san the type that goes with a "slow-pace" in romance? Or he's just simply thickheaded[nibui]? (laughs)
Kimura: I don't think he's thickheaded. But, I think, with prosecutor and law clerk as their positions, there's this weird threshold separated them. Rather than to see her as the cute, beautiful person that he loves, "important" is the keyword here. It was the role played by Nakai Kiichi-san, Takita-san who asked him, "Who is your most important person?", and when he tries to think of the answer, he thought, "I guess it's her... Yeah, it's her.", so he finally realized it. Rather than thickheaded, I think he just couldn't really sort things out and put things in order. (laughs)
Q: So when he was asked like that, he finally found the answer in the middle of the messy thoughts inside his head?
Kimura: Since he couldn't sort things out to that, I guess when he was asked that question, he finally made it, to sort 'em out. Before that, he might once think, "Aren't you just following me?". And he just ignored Amamiya.
Matsu: I never think, in that 6 years, Kuryu-san ignored Amamiya. Although, he has romantic feelings for her, Kuryu-san think of her as a working partner, because he think that it's such a pleasure to work with this lady, so that's why they separated for 6 years. Rather than "love", she thinks, "What am I? I am a law clerk!". If this thought disappear (because she love him that much), then she should just tell him her feelings! (laughs) But it is not the case, the important thing is, the times when the prosecutor and the law clerk works together... Such a complicated relationship isn't it? And among all things, I don't think there's a law clerk as talkative as her. (laughs) Usually, law clerks just keep quiet and keep typing on the computer, ne?
Q: Since the first time, the two of you worked together in Long Vacation, its been 11 years. After that, there's Love Generation, and also HERO. Kimura-san, do you think Matsu-san's image has changed now?
Kimura: In terms of acting, I don't think there's any changes. But since I saw alot of her personal side... the interval, the distance between us... feels like we're never apart, but then not that close, either. She's an outsider(unrelated person) to me, but it also feels like she's not. Her existence is really a mystery... Aa, but during Long Vacation, wasn't your eyebrows a bit thicker? (laughs)
Matsu: Sou deshita-kke [oh, really]?? (laughs) The feel of distance... that is important, ne... But really, I feel happy. When parts or points of myself, that I don't even know, is being discovered. I feel honored. I do always let myself being criticized. Well, of course, when I feel I have to follow up the work, I'm being reminded, "I have to put alot of effort too!". Then, to work together again like this, in any case, I think I feel glad that when he heard the name of "Matsu Takako" again, at the least he didn't say "Give me a break!".... (laughs)
Kimura: *joking mode, acting like an announcer* We are doing HERO once again! This time, Amamiya Maiko-san is acted by this person! Somehow, when this different person came, I immediately give her a mail. (laughs) ..."What schedule do you actually have?".
Matsu: (laughs)
Q: In HERO, Kuryu and Amamiya's partnership is really close. Did you build a different kind of relationship than those in Long Vacation and Love Generation?
Matsu: The relationship between the two is very simple. It is a very clarified setting. They are a combination of prosecutor and law clerk. So, with all might, she "observe" that prosecutor character. Like, to understand that this person is the type who do this kind of job. Naturally, I come to observe Kimura-san himself too. I always, always do that, and the interest of "Eh, what is it?", "What is he doing?", is always there. So, in that Kuryu and Amamiya's relationship, I can devote myself to it and so not to forget that part, I plan to always face it.
Q: So, you've also thoroughly observed Kimura-san?
Matsu: Well, what I mean by observe... The point of everything is that Kimura-san IS Kuryu-san. His figure of enjoying acting Kuryu, acting it with spirit...it's really a pleasure for me to be able to see that while I was right next to him. To see Kimura-san bringing forth the Kuryu-san character ...is a happiness, for me... So, I think Amamiya must be happy, too. There was not a bit of odd feeling, at all. Maybe, while Amamiya is working with Kuryu, of course not only the fun parts come from doing a job... but Kuryu-san taught her the fun parts of a job. This time, she goes together with him to Korea, and working around energetically. I think it's impossible, if it's 6 years ago. Me myself had alot of fun. And I thank Kimura-san = Kuryu-san for that.
Q: When HERO first started, it was something new that the two of you were not in a romance mode. But even when the romance feelings slowly appear, it does good to the setting of your characters.
Kimura: I guess so, yes. To look back again, "love" or "like" dialogues didn't exist at all. It was all just like... there's a man, there's a woman, doing their jobs, and they are right next to each other... that's it. Although, in the dorama, it felt like "something" is happening. (laughs) Shibayama-san and Misuzu-san have that "kind of" parts though... (laughs)
Matsu: (laughs)
Kimura: Well, I guess, there's balance due to that...
Q: Alright, the last questions. Kimura-san, what do you like the most from Amamiya-san?
Kimura: Mmmm...... Her smile!
Q: Matsu-san, what do you like the most from Kuryu-san?
Matsu: ...doko-su kanaa... (I wonder what....)
Kimura: What is "doko-su kana"??! (laughs) There's no words like that!
[note: usually Japanese shorten "doko desu ka" to "doko-su ka?" or "maji desu ka" to "maji-su ka". Only works with "ka"....never "kana". So what Matsu said, was really weird^^ Like a yankee slang or something )
Matsu: What I like from Kuryu-san is........ ZENBU DESU (his everything)!!!
~*~
On Kimura's pic written: The feel of distance was really close, and it was very natural in the filming location, so to meet in a situation like this is weird...
On Matsu's pic written: To see Kimura-san bringing forth the Kuryu-san character ...is a happiness, for me...
=END=
Haha.... I'm such in a KimuraMatsu mode right now! Waiting September 8th to come, is like one century for me!
yanie, i must say i feel the sense of shiwase-ness in me after reading the translations. its like...it doesnt matter anymore whether matsu and takuya is married or in a relationship....its the strength of their bond is so strong it cant be measured with relationship...
its proven beyond doubt with their pictures and their own words there...
dakara i am now 100% sure that they are in LOVE! although it will not be neccessary for them to mention it..... _________________
