Ikuta Toma
Fought with something (?) at the filming of the drama “Honey and Clover”
Seems like he was in a little trouble in his private time (laughs).
“Seriously? Are you kidding me, seriously?”
Honey and Clover has finally started. Every day, I continue to get out of the house before sunrise in this cold. Day time is shorter in the winter so filming during daylight is a battle against the sun. Hm? You can’t battle against the sun because I should want it to stay? Then what is it? Battle against night? No, is it battle against darkness? “I’m always fighting against the darkness…” wow… this sounds sort of cool! It’s like a person from the dark side! And I digress from the world of HachiKuro (Honey and clover). Besides that, talking about fighting the darkness doesn’t make sense at all.
Anyways, the filming is going smoothly. (I haven’t written anything about that) When the 5 (co-stars) were interviewed, we were asked about our favorite TV shows and I was the only one who was thrilled. Then, I bought “Gottsu~” and Reiko chan bought “~GOLDEN EGGS” to the filming so we watched it during break, laughing our heads off. In such happy laughs… ah, I was about to talk about the scenes but someone changed it. What the heck is happily laughing our heads off… it’s a happy filming place. Yes.
I went to a wedding ceremony of my high school classmate’s (girl) the other day. That’s right. My classmate got married. It was surprising. To a soccer player too. I got along with her while we were in school and saw her when we had meet-ups with friends after graduation so I was very happy for her. She wore an elegant dress and had a happy face on that anyone would know “did you happen to get married toady?” if they saw her. Weddings. They’re incredible. Ah, this is probably the wrong timing to say this but I couldn’t make it to the ceremony. (Eh~…) To answer correctly, it was the after party. Yes, this “after party” was a bit of a hassle…
I was supposed to meet up with 4 of my friends and head to the place after eating a light meal but the problem was the clothes. I was informed “you don’t have to wear suits to the after party”. Well, I thought wearing a suit was in the safe zone and in fact, I wanted to wear one. But. I thought about it… “Would I feel embarrassed if I’m the only one wearing a formal suit when I was told I don’t have to wear one? I’ll go with a somewhat of a formal attire. Wait a minute. There could be another way. I can’t be wearing just T-shirt and jeans when everyone is in suits… no that’s just going too far” like that. I immediately called my friends I was meeting up with and asked “what’re you wearing?” he answers “suit like clothes” what does “-like clothes” mean. As I wondered, I picked out what I thought was “suit like clothes” and cleaned myself pretty well.
When I got to the place where I was meeting with my friends, there was one suit and three -like clothes. I guess the people walking in the town would probably think “those people look like they have some type of party”, it was a perfect party style. Nice teamwork guys. Now we head to the place! When we arrive at the front of the place, there were many energetic people gathered up. But! What’s this? There’s not one person wearing a suit. Instead, aren’t they pretty casual? Aren't they too casual? We completely stand out. Most people wore t-shirt/jeans, rough attire. Seriously? Are you kidding me, seriously? Then a friend of mine said this. “Though it’s an after party for a wedding ceremony, suits are usually the basics. We’re the right ones” Ooh. You made a good point! By the way, that guy is a Kabuki actor and he has been following the Japanese traditions so he’s used to celebrations like this and he have been taught about all those things from his senpai. My friend’s opinion gave me a confident that made me completely forget how much we stand out and they were strong words with convincing power.
After thinking about it… my classmate who got married… was a mixed girl… I guess we would dress casual…
The End.
Extra, pictures to live by
A hoodie Shingo kun wore in “~iitomo” and went through all the trouble to come to the “Hachikuro” studio to give this to me as a present. For the time being… I tried it on. Thank you very much Shingo kun!
This is a picture from countdown concert. These are a bit unusual members. It was funny how Yoko kept calling Nakamaru “Nakamaru kun” he doesn’t know why but he calls him with “kun.”
[Riko chan has finally burned hers too]
I shared (a picture of) the benchcoat I burned last time but… finally, Riko chan has done it too. So I took a picture for memory sake. Fufufufu. I made a new friend.
[Riko wasn't paying attention. She has done it already from new years. by Morita]
This is the one Morita san aka Nari(miya) kun wrote. Riko chan wasn’t paying attention. When I filmed wearing this, people looked at me with what is that? Look. Do you think it’ll be a fad? I bet it won’t.
