So Ryo is confirmed to be in Fuji TV's Last Friends. It's just that, it will a smaller role than the three main characters. I kinda think that he's just a guest star in this dorama or something. This is the first press release for this dorama before Ryo's addition was announced:
Masami, Juri, Eita cast in Fuji TV series
Tue, February 5, 2008 (3:33pm EST)
Fuji TV is producing a new drama series for next season under the working title of "Last Friends." Described as dealing with modern people and their issues, the drama stars actress Masami Nagasawa as Michiru, a beauty parlor assistant who suffered from domestic violence at the hands of her boyfriend.
Juri Ueno plays Nagasawa's classmate Ruka, a successful motocross racer who carries an unmentionable burden in her heart. Attracted to her is Takeru (played by Eita), a hair and make-up artist who has a fear of sex. The lives of the three characters become intertwined when they begin living together in a share house.
The drama will air on Thursdays at 10:00pm, starting on April 10.

So I've highlighted the main points of the dorama, which is Ryo's gonna play Masami's boyfriend (who's supposedly taller than him thus making me LOLing at the fact that a smaller guy is gonna abuse a taller woman!), and there's no Ryo in the room for the 3 'last friends' LOL! I prefer the comedy dorama he was rumored to be in earlier though...But I must say with or without Ryo, I'll still be watching this dorama anyway, for Juri-chan and Eita!
So people on my f-list, have you listened to the radio rip of Wahaha? It has some kind of retro, 80-ish feel to it, kinda old school and the flow of the melody makes you want to sing and dance right on the spot! I like the melody a lot! Though I kinda wish that certain members shouldn't have sung certain parts of the song...Somehow I think the song might have made a much bigger impact at the hands of better singers. And the 'wahaha-ing' parts actually makes me lose hope that Eito can actually be recognized as being serious in the business LOL! Well I guess releasing a hit single like Sukiyanen, Osaka changes everything.
I hope the other songs on the B-sides are as good as this. I have faith in Masayuki of color bottle penning the other song (which I still fail to remember what's the title is), and HIKARI writes BJ. Should be interesting waiting for the next Recomen leaks! XD
P/S: I've watched Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai up to 3 episodes now. And Ep 1 with sub is already out at D-Addicts! Go fetch it guys! You won't regret this! :)
