TO WHICH SOUYA...HAS NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT WHAT FOLLOWS.
First of all, I may not be in the right place to express my personal opinion. This entry is and may be forwarded or x-posted to PoT comms by someone who happens to wander to my LJ. And yeah lols, I don't want people flaming each other, and I do not want people flaming the soon-to-be actors as well, so don't ask me for my comments because lawls. The first rule of teh intarnets, "ANYTHING YOU SAID WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU".
Okay it's going to be picture intensive and heavy.
So sorry to those with slow internet connection.
Some of you may or may not know, it was released around July 23rd this year that, a group of Chinese boy band under the name, "加油!好男兒"(Jiayou! Hao Nan Er), that is formed by a reality TV show with an audition each year to choose its members of the year, is going to star in the Chinese version of The Prince of Tennis TV drama. Since this group is quite a new feat, the 06 and 07 members will become actors for Seigaku and Hyotei respectively.
This is not confirmed, but there will be 20 episodes and each episode is around 60 minutes, to be aired sometime in June 2008.

The jist is that, they basically confirmed all that I've said above are official.
EDIT: SOME PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED (AND ALTHOUGH I AM NOT A POLITICAL PERSON), I MUST STRESS THAT THIS IS MAINLY A MAINLAND CHINA PRODUCTION, NOT A TAIWANESE PRODUCTION IN CASE ANYBODY WANNA YELL AT ME FOR BEING INACCURATE AND POLITICALLY INCORRECT.
Here is a list of the people and their roles, and to those of you who know Chinese, please feel free to look them up and check out who they are. I won't go into anymore detail except posting their pictures.

If those 100x100 isn't clear enough, here's another one.
[NOTE: THERE ARE SOME GUYS THAT ARE IN THE ABOVE PICTURE THAT ARE NOT CHOSEN TO TAKE PART IN THE DRAMA.]
And if those are not convincing enough, here it is.
So yes, there you have it.
As I've said before, please feel free to link this and/or x-post this to different communities. However, I DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE IN ANY DISCUSSION THAT TALKS ABOUT WHY THESE PEOPLE WERE CHOSEN FOR THEIR ROLES. That doesn't mean discussion about it is not allowed, it simply means that if you are going to talk negatively about them or if you are going to turn this into an entry filled with fwangst, go talk about them in your own journal or start your own entry else where and talk about it. Thank you.
P.S. Special thanks to fangirl_ism and orangewishes for helping me to trim and cut the images into 100x100!
