Hello! Does anyone know where I can find some Tsutsumi Shinichi photos? I seem to run into the same 3 photos where ever I search hehe. :mrgreen: Thanx a bunch!

Well, it's really hard to find pics of him. I have some pics of him as Matahachi (the role he played in Musashi). I've posted them in Musashi's thread. But if you want me to post them again here, I'll post.

I like him too, I think he's a terrific actor. Great in Good luck & Yamato Nadeshiko.
Maybe you already know, but if you really like Tsutsumi you can see him as lead actor in several movies by the japanese cult director Sabu, like Monday, Postman blues & Unlucky monkey. Tsutsumi seems to be Sabus favourite too.
If you're not familiar with director Sabu, then his movies are a bit special, not to everybodys liking. Tsutsumis roles in those movies are indeed different from the ones in j-drama.

Yup, I think so too... he's very different in movies.. think anyone who's his fans must see at least one of Sabu's production.. will see a very different Tsutsumi :mrgreen:

So far managed to catch several of his movies - Monday, Unlucky Monkey & Drive by Sabu, Keiho & Sotsugyo

My favourite is Monday, ... think he did a great job there :applaud: the dancing scenes are really.. hmmmmm....

But find Unlucky Monkey kinda confusing... didn't understand the ending :sweat:

Pity that he doesn't do Sabu's work anymore nowadays

Sabu's official website is here - http://www.sabu-film.com/ (trailers of his previous movies are all available here too)

Looking forward to his 2 movies due to be released next year
Ubume no Natsu is based on a mystery novel by Kyogoku Natsuhiko
Fly Daddy Fly with Okada Junichi is based on a novel by Kaneshiro Ikki the author of "Go"

A long wait though........

He's great, he's one of my favorite japanese actors !!!!! But I just know him from Musashi, in which he played Matahachi.
Thanks for the links, nikky, I was tryin' to find pics of him, but I never knew where I could find them !!!!! :mrgreen:
5 Jul 2004, 10:51 #9
Nya!! \(>o<)/!! Thanks for the links! Its so hard to find his photo...

I agree with Nikky~ I watched Monday and I'm really captivated by him. Monday is a great movie and its just such perfect combination between Sabu and Tsutsumi. Postman Blues is another good one I think~

Ne ne Nikyy~ how did you manage to get hold of Monday, Drive and Keiho?? I tot its unsubbed?? I watched my Monday on Singapore TV Arts Central... Onegai~~

Have you all watched Koi no Chikara?? Its sooooo nice! Tsutsumi is SO CUTE! The female lead too. I think i'm gg to watch this drama many many times~~~like Yamato Nadeshiko and Summer Snow!! But, I'm starting on Beginner now... hehehe... also Tsutsumi inside~ keke :mrgreen:

tell me about that, its so hard to get hold of his movies, photos, coz his fansites are all in Japanese :shakehead:

Managed to find 2 Chinese discussion boards on him
1. http://tw.club.yahoo.com/clubs/Shinichi_Tsutsumi/
2. telnet://cia.hinet.net (this board has probably this most comprehensive info on him)
This is probably the only 2 non-japanese sites that I can find :sweat:

2ch is probably a good place to get hold of his latest news... too bad my Japanese is still at infant level.. :D
Link for his discussion thread on 2Ch~
http://hobby5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/drama/1079362381

Yup, my Monday & drive are unsubbed, lucky that I am able to get hold of Monday's subtitle..
but not for Drive though, probably that's why I didn't like it :sweat:

Read from a newsgroup that you may be able to download these movies from emule or bittorrent.. maybe u could try & check it out...

Got my copy of Keiho from Taiwan yahoo auction...you can check out yesasia.com, think they sell there too. The website add is www.yesasia.com :D Yesasia is also selling Chakushin Ari's VCD (overseas version which comes with Chinese subtitle) but the price is not out yet

:jumpie: me tooooo... Koi no Chikara is one of my favourite..
Both of them are so funny together :D the last scene is the best :mrgreen:

Beginner is a must-watch tooooo.. again, u probably see a different Tsutsumi here heehee

If you prefer Mr cool Tsutsumi than the Mr Nice Guy Tsutsumi, would recommend Pure (sad storyline though...)... its this show tat 1st introduce me to Tsutsumi san... he probably smile less than 5 times throughout :sweat: tats why I was so shocked to see Mr Nice Guy Osuke in Yamato is him.. his soooooo different there

And Nikyy~~ I've watched PURE~! Managed to get it when theres a crazy J-drama sale! Its so nice. :mrgreen: Tsutsumi san looks so nice inside~! :muack: But he dun really look different from now despite the fact that PURE was flimed 8 yrs ago!! Here are some pictures to contribute to this Tsutsumi thread!



Lucky U!!! where did u get it from?

Ahhhhh, Toru san, one of my favourite :love_eyes:



WARNING!!!! SPOILER FOR PURE!!!!



those scenes with Yuka at the orphanage really makes me melt
But the ending... :mecry: :mecry::mecry:
Even though I have rewatched Pure several times.. , still can't bring myself to rewatch the hospital scene & the scene where Yuka read Toru's letter ... :sweat:
Always make me wonder why the scriptwriter choose to end the story this way :shakehead:
Such that Yuka understand the real meaning of "death"? what a cruel way > <
Apparently the ending of the TV novel of Pure is different, Toru san left Yuka at the end & never returned...... hmmmmmm
15 Aug 2004, 12:28 · edited #19
Orenji! :hug: I also think his hair in Good Luck is the best! Kakkoii na~~ :love_eyes: Really love it.

Nikyy, I got PURE from the crazy sell in West Mall. Only $3.90! I also bought Omyouji (Goro Inagaki), Ai wo Kudasai and 2001 no Otoko Un.




WARNING!!!! SPOILER FOR PURE!!!!

Actually i really melted at the scene where they were at the hospital~! I cried until so sad :mecry: Especially when he cried and said "Arigatou..." ARGH.... I almost went crazy... :mecry::mecry: I think the most touching thing he said to Yuka is

"I tried to intepret the meaning of your saying that you want to be a bird. Maybe it was the fact that in some way you have felt that you are different. You thought everyone have wings on their back.... But who has wings on their back? You are no different from everyone..."

I think this ending is better than Tohru leaving her and never come back again... I think leaving her is worse ne~ cos Tohru will be so cruel~ and did you realised that when they say Tohru has no fate with Love~ it is sooo true in the end~ :mecry:

And yeah... the last orphanage scene :sweat:

SPOILER END




And will all of you vote which character do you like Tsutsumi most as? :naughty: (Maximum 3)

I vote for
- Koda in GOOD LUCK
- Nukui in KOI NO CHIKARA
- Kirahara in BEGINNER

Tough choice between Kirihara and Tohru (PURE)....
