I think I'm biased when it comes to Erika, because she was awesomely creepy as Misa in the Death Note movies, and I had no issue with her in Hana Yori Dango since she got owned in the end and I don't hold grudges. When it comes to Ryo....he can act when he has the right character. I'll agree with you about Yamapi and Akanishi, but there are times when the whiny roles Ryo tends to play get very much on my nerves. Honestly, I think Yoko's more versatile...although technically he's more like Nino's generation, age-wise.

But Nino is win, 100% I'll have to admit that I liked Arashi before Letters From Iwo Jima and that it was Oh-chan who pulled me in in the first place, and that it was Nino's snarktastic-ness that made me love him before his acting skills kicked in for me, but he is ALL-AROUND amazingness. I barely recognized him in Stand Up and Haikei, Chichiue-sama.

I CAN'T WAIT to watch this. Thank you!

P.S. Do you know when the first subbed episode's supposed to come out? ^_^;; no pressure, just curious!

The first time I saw Erika was in Nobuta, but I didn't pay much attention to her that time, only the three leads. Which is sad. Haha! I do remember feeling sorry about her character back then, though.

Yeah, I guess Ryo is your 'when the right character comes' kind of actor, not as versatile as Nino.

But Ryo's so in character when he whines. Haha! He complains a lot in reality, so I was just okay when I see him. XDDD

YOKO! Ah. YOKO! Now THERE's an actor. But you're right, he doesn't belong to the same 'generation' as Ryo. (I made them sound like eons apart, didn't I.)

Wow. An Ohno-bait. That's a new one. :)

he is ALL-AROUND amazingness. I barely recognized him in Stand Up and Haikei, Chichiue-sama.You're telling me. He's just WOW. And that's what i was saying about him being versatile. Sign of a good actor, being able to make the actor disappear and just see the character. Nino does that ( ... )

Patience is a virtue I DON'T have.

You know, I keep saying that, too (and it's ingrained in my personality) but Arashi does things to me...hmm....

That's kind of why I like him better in Eito than NEWS.OMG! You so read my mind! I think Ryo is boring in NEWS. hahah! (*sorry NEWS fans. i like their songs*) I prefer seeing him in K8 because he gets to be...himself? He just seems to throw all caution to the wind and just HAS FUN ( ... )

Hii thank you for this awesome-ness! Wanted to watch it for a while.

Kinda skimmed your comments because I don't want to be spoiled much ^^; but when Erika Toda was announced, I was kind of meh (no doubt due to Hanadan) Feel bad about it now, because watching some interviews she seems really sweet! I love the whole dynamic between the three, how Nino is the true niichan who is able to make everyone feel at ease- and Ryo being so shy to the point I really believe he's extremely scared of Erika. XD

That seems like the recurring theme for the talks, how Ryo loves to go home early without talking to anyone, Hahh.

It was pure awesomeness just working on it. Haha! yanie (the translator) was made of awesome, too. (she's crazy. translating the book AND the videos. *shakes head*

...haha. Sorry. I wish it wasn't spoiler-ish much. Aren't you glad I don't understand Nihonggo very well to get into the spoiler-y mode? haha!!

I had the same thing about Erika, too, but someone pointed me to her guesting at KAT-TUN and she's soooo much fun! Then the other promos where I get to watch her being interviewed, she seems like a lot of fun!

I love the whole dynamic between the three,

DITTO! I'm thinking the same thing. They've got wonderful chemistry. And weird, I want to see Nino and Erika in a drama all their own soon. About damn time Nino gets a romantic drama. Purely romantic drama. haha!

*hides from POSSESSIVE Nino fans*

...grrr. I ought to come up with a Ryo icon now. hmm.

Why not Nino-flail???? He's every bit deserving of it, I'll tell you that!! <3 <3 <3 I'm caught Nino fever and I'll never get better. It's nuts really. I just can't wait to see RnK! (I'm waiting for hardsubs like a good girl) Nino's acting is always grand! I haven't seen Ryo in anything yet so I'll reserve judgement on him although I have liked all of his interviews lately. He's so shy, it's adorable. Erika...I've only seen her in Nobuta wo Produce and HYD2. I ahted her in HYD2 but of course that is a given because she was a THREAT. I just felt bad for her in NwP.

As for Yamapi....I'm ashamed to say I like his acting (and how he looks--SUE ME). I've enjoyed him in everything I've seen him in and I'm currently downloading Proposal Daisakusen. As for Jin, I've never seen him in anything..HOWEVER, I do wonder why he is always number 1 in the hot guy rankings. IMO, he's not that great looking. I may be Arashi biased however.

KON KON!

I first saw Ryo in 1 Liter of Tears. WATCH THAT. NOW.
AH! I think I've just been scared into checking it out. I've heard lots about it...I wonder why I haven't watched it yet??? *checks drama wiki* Oh now I know why...it's about someone with an incurable disease. *heavy sigh* I remember reading about this drama around the time I finished watching Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake (Takeshi Kaneshiro, LOVE!!!). I was left so emotionally drained for WEEKS after I watched that drama that I couldn't handle the sadness I was sure to incur. But for you, I think I'll check it out in the near future.

Make a Nino-flail post! I'll flail along! WHEEE~~~~!

Kurosagi is on my list to watch. Yamapi+black hair+rebel ways= HOT
His Akira was too precious for words...his flailing about and almost high on life demeanor was very good.

He does look good, though, but (IN MY EYES) only in the right hairstyle and right outfit. haha! I'm so high-maintenance!!!I look at guys the same way. They need the right hair and the right outfit to get my seal of ( ... )

Don't be scared, there are no guns and knives, just...brittle bones. LOLZ!

I haven't seen that drama though, Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake, I mean. I guess that makes us even. haha! Well, 1LOT, while it's sad, is somehow uplifting in a way. And I'm not a Sawajiri Erika fan, but that's about the only drama of hers that I liked her in.

Ok. I am gearing up for that Nino-flail post. I'm just waiting for the right RnK ep. Haha! (lame excuse! I actually need to still burst out of the rainbow bubble Ohno had tossed me into).

I am soooo looking forward to watching the Kurosagi movie. I hear there are subs out already? But if someone hardsubs them, I'd be really eternally happy. XDD

Ah. Akira. And his lactose-addiction. I actually liked him miles better than Kame on NwP. XDD I hope YamaPi goes back to those kinds of roles. This brooding-smoldering gets a little old sometimes. I want him high. And silly.

Which is funny b/c my b/f prefers gaming t-shirts and could care less about his hair... :/ Ah! Because he looks sssoooooo yum in any ( ... )

Are you in KTSTV subbing team too? You're like superwomen! Sugoi!!
Good episode! I like the story.. adore the script Koichi wrote... hilarious! Who on their right mind would wear something like that??? and the bunny!?? XD I'm liking Erika's acting! Overall I like it! Good acting, good story, good looking guys (damn Nino what are you looking so hot!?) BUT I do need a little more Kaname Jun... I know it was only the first episode but still.. I want more Kaname Jun XD

Ok.. I'm biting you cos you said so! XD

dvampyrlestat October 20 2008, 03:38:05 UTC
Yeah. haha! Aren't I glad it's just a temporary unit? LOLZ. Only until the drama ends. :) (but the main translator yanie is also a TFS translator, so it follows that I should follow her. yay)

I just love how it was written. The flashbacks, the dialogues. It's so down-to-earth. As expected of THE Kudo Kankuro. Have you seen his other dramas?? Both Nagase Tomoya ones, esp. IKEBUKURO WEST GATE PARK and TIGER AND DRAGON (which has Okada in it, too. yay)

damn Nino what are you looking so hot!?

"damn Nino don't answer that. You'll kill me."

And Kaname Jun! Haha! I loved his scene with Nino. Sooooo funny!

....

*ouch*

I guess I deserved that.

How many subbing teams you are in? SUGOI!

Right! down to earth! It's good! I saw Tiger and Dragon! LOVE IT! Specially Nagase and his tongue! XD major nosebleed! and Okada! Love that drama! Ok, adding Ikebukuro to the list!

Hahaha.. damn Nino is hot! Nino is killing us already!

Yes, looks like Kaname is going to be fun here. I'm watching "Kimi Hannin Janai yo ne?" with Kaname. It's such a weird comedy! Have you seen it!? And Kaname is such a dork.. it's like reading a manga XD Hot kaname! -drooling-

Sorry! Did I bite to hard!? XD

Ah...T-two??? Plus KTSTV which is TEMPORARY!!! (Emphasis on temporary!) Haha! I will stick to STORMY and TFS. Period! XDDD I love these two groups so.

Nagase and his tongue. HAHA! You just had to point out his tongue! YES, oh yes.

Ikebukuro also has YamaPi in it....but very very young....Just. Nagase is so damn good in any role he portrays. Well, except as a HIGH SCHOOL student in My Boss My Hero, but it was still funny nonetheless.

No! I haven't seen that drama yet! The only ones I've watched with Kaname in them are TATTA HITOTSU NO KOI and ASHITA NO KITA YOSHIO. That's about it. I ought to check more out. Hmmm.

No, you didn't. I'm just....tender. *naughty laugh*

XD, no worries, I wouldn't have thought to credit me either (wouldn't have ever thought about if it you hadn't mentioned it) ^^

FLAIL OVER NINO ALL YOU WANT! <3
he's acting again!! and not to put down YTM, but this is... RnK seems much better than that right now. This is where Nino can really show his stuff. I never realized how limiting it must have been for him, trying to portray a high school student when he was 24 years old. No matter how young he looks, it's better not to have that mismatch after all. ^^;; Thankfully, from the first episode of RnK, seems like this is going to be a role where he can really shine. and Nino's saying that learning magic is helping with his acting... Even though his acting has been simply amazing in the past, I think I can believe him.

btw. OMG. Nino. Bedhead. Apron. JUMPING FROM BALCONIES. In glasses. With that teeny tiny netbook computer, the likes of which I really wanted even before I watched this 1st episode, and now I need it even more. >and ooo, how did I not know you were Arashi-baited by ( ... )

*smacks big mouth* I should've shut up about it then, huh. LOLZ.

I liked YTM because it was Nino. And Sho. And Tabe. But to be honest, I preferred Taiwan's version better, because they got into more detail. XDD Anyway! RnK!!!! So much Nino-win. This is where Nino is at its best, offbeat characters, not 'safe' ones (like in YTM). The Yamada Taro character was just tooooo bland for Nino, who can do soooo much more.

I keep shaking my head when he says something/anything about improving his acting because DUDE! HE'S ALREADY AMAZING ENOUGH AS IT IS! But anyway, perceptions, I guess.

Don't forget how he peeks with those lovely eyes behind glasses from the top of the notebook. Yay. I love how he seemingly changes from one character into another on RnK. The serious brother. The brooding avenger. then he goes silly. mad. angry. frustrated. scheming.

and ohmigod, it's still the FIRST EPISODE!!

and ooo, how did I not know you were Arashi-baited by Clint-Eastwood? That's crazy. Seriously. but awesome.You know what's even more awesome??? The ( ... )
