My Third Time
(This person was an extra for the June 10-12th filming but this report just appeared on June 20th.)
Today is my third time being an extra in Buzzer Beat, even though all we did was sit in the gymnasium stand for this time and the last two times.
I woke up at 5.30 am; it was hot outside the shoot location. So tired ~(;′Д`)ノwhen Aibu Saki came out, I had to move my legs no matter how tired I was.
This time only half of the time was enjoyable. Yamashita Tomohisa-kun appeared before too. He gave greetings to the extras. I'm touched by this since awhile ago Matsumoto Jun-kun also did the same thing. Too bad Saki-chan didn't walk by. But between shooting, Saki-chan came across and said "Thank you and nice work today". At that time, I was on the opposite side so I was shocked (??0?)?
Later on, across from me, she talked to one of the staff about ordering something from Starbucks since she couldn't.
It was enjoyable until the scene changed and the staff told everyone to walk and move out. Maybe they didn't want the fans to know the details of the next scene??? I wanted to disagree though. Until now there was no Saki-chan's appearance. Maybe it wasn't necessary for her to come out. Anyway I watched this scene from far away but there was a limit to where you could go. There was a time where it was hard to deal with the extras. The security had to apologize for them.
When the OK came for the scene, Yamashita-kun entered again when Saki-chan's birthday cake came out. I didn't think the cake came from across the way though, Happy Birthday!
Will this be translated later into English as a scandal???
:::End:::
T/N: LOL, I think this person is a guy since he used boku when writing this report. And again LOL at the last sentence. Apparently, he knows that we (fans) translate these reports! xD

Frogs and Humans Can Co-exist
6.20.2009
Looks like NEWS' Yamapi came to my store.
There were a lot of boys
Because he's so handsome, I really want to see him
Around where I work, I always meet artists/idols
Seems like Yamapi really likes the frog roadblocks, one second he's sitting on it, the next second he's taking pictures with it. He seems really happy.
A staff told me that afterwards, he posted the picture, saying 「Human beings and frogs could co-exist peacefully!」
If he wrote about my shop's milk tea, that'd be better ~
But too bad, not even one sentence about my shop. He didn't even take a picture of my shop' don't even know if he noticed it...
But i'm still really happy to see Yamapi sharing what he thinks.
The frog roadblock is so lucky~
Yamapi is really awesome ne~

Is it really Yamapi? (added 6.22.09)
Could it be 山P ! ?
Theme: blog
Today, I accidentally stumbled upon Aibu Saki's shooting; I believe today is her birthday (June 20th).
I thought it was just a regular TV series filming, and not a Getsu 9 drama.
Isn't Buzzer Beat on next month?!!
Then, thinking about it carefully, I noticed a slender blonde man standing next to me.
YAMAPI! Σ (~?~||;)
If asked by other people who I like in J (Johnny's Jimusho), I'd answer YAMAPI! (ahaha)
Didn't I realize (it was Yamapi)?
Yesterday, I even watched Ikebukuro West Gate Park. (; 'Д `)
Because of the lighting, the (hair) color appeared to be very pure golden blonde.
The slight perm and slender body, I'm not feeling very confident, but isn't that Yamapi (that I am seeing) ? ? ?
Must go back to check with the TV fan group.
However, Tokyo, (I) still have much to say (laughs). By the way, that (filming) was in the Tameike-sanno neighborhood. [see map]
I feel like a sell-out. ( '艸`)
[T/N: She knows Pi, she likes Pi, but she didn't fangirl Pi...UNTIL NOW!]

A Family of "extras" (part 1)
Went to Tokyo.
A little while ago, didn’t Fuji TV Club say they were recruiting extras for Buzzer Beat?
Checked.
Here it is.
6/20 (Saturday) 7:00 - 11:30 taking applications for extras.
But isn’t the time too early? Conditions were ages 20-40 and come in suits.
If 20 years old is the case, then my daughter can’t go and I will have to give up the application.
But I don’t know if I should apply though.
What if I get a train to the nearest station’s gate
to the location shoot?
I want to go see~
Then?? On Friday evening my husband said he wants to go to Tokyo tomorrow!!~
We talked about Pi-chan’s (shooting) location, but will I be able to find Tora’s train station gate??
Because I wanted Tora gate’s hospital I asked if it was okay to go!
But?? I don’t know at all where the shooting location was, “so what if I go and I can’t find it?” I thought.
But my daughter said she’s going tomorrow??? I was sleepy and angry.
Her preparation was slow and she’s leaving the house at 9?? On top of that there is a lot of traffic in the city.
Her arrival at Tora gate passed 11 o’clock.
First of all my husband searched the hospital’s parking lot and parked the car.
I don’t know the location shoot and on top of that we were late, so that’s enough, I said??
So at that time my husband said to go search for the Toranomon station * gate and we went.
So the extra’s uniform was a suit??? There was a huge company, isn’t that the building?
Looked around~ There is a building that looks like that?
That anticipation, the van/bus that I wanted to see stopped.
Quickly cross the bridge to get close?? Below was full of people in suits sitting down.
We didn’t know this before in advance.
It was clear that the people that looked like staff were working on the location filming.
Everybody couldn’t stop moving so people who looked like the supervisors went behind them.
And then?? What was it a while ago?? Pi chan was there
I found him.
Looked around and saw a few (people) going inside?? From far away I saw a few women??I saw a few staff divide up then from here I think I saw my daughter getting angry.
Then I turned my back around?? I could see a closer view of Pi chan and Aibu chan’s scene.
There were 3 members of the family and 4 other female Pi fans watching.
We had one staff near there.
Anyone who went there would clearly see Pi chan on location.

A Family of "extras" (part 2)
This is where they filmed the scene between P-chan and Aibu-chan.
Somehow it was a scene and they were flirting with each other.
But it’s good that there was no kiss scene.
I don’t say that I dislike P-chan’s kiss scene, but I don’t want to watch right in front of my eyes, especially with my husband and my daughter.
They rehearsed many times.
Although it was just one scene, it really took time.
After finishing, Pi-chan went to check with the director.
When he said OK, that scene ended.
The staff that was standing in front of our place returned. After that, Aibu-chan also stood before our eyes.
At that stairway, I felt my heart jump,
P-chan will pass here for sure.
My daughter said “Mum, don’t wave your hand or make noise no matter what”
Only 4 people were waiting??? P-chan passed in front of our eyes alone.
When seeing him, we made a slight bow, then P-chan also did that in return.
Iya~ as expected, he was handsome and had a sparkling aura.
Is this OK if at that time, I asked him for a handshake
or call out his name
There weren't any fans and I was told to go back.
But indeed, there wasn't anyone around??? There wasn't even staff close by???
I thought, “Would it be a problem to walk there alone?”
Even when P-chan came downstairs, we still kept on watching him from above.
Some girls who were watching from afar waved their hands to P-chan.
P-chan also bowed his head to those people.
After the filming at that location ended, we went down to the shop.
Before the extras realized it, everyone disappeared.
If there had been only me, I’d have waited for more, then maybe I could meet P-chan again.
But my husband and daughter were there so we came home.
My daughter and husband kept happily praising Aibu-chan for her cuteness.
Because it was the first time for us to watch a filming on location, everyone said it was interesting.
It was a popular comment.
P-chan wore a yellow/gold checkered/plaid shirt with half pants and sandals.
He’s really handsome.
Aibu-chan is skinny and adorable.
Iyaa~ I’m really grateful to my husband and daughter for coming with me.
Thank you.
What will we do??? We’ll continue our Tokyo visit.
See ya~

A Boy Meets His Idol
Today I …
had an encounter with YamaP, Yamashita-kun of NEWS.
Saying encounter, but it’s not that I met him by chance, just my friend phoned me then I ran in haste.
By the way, to say how much in haste I was, you can see by the way my second son who I carried behind my bicycle shouted “Mum, too fast?? Scary????”
I’m so sorry. I’ll be more careful from now on.
The drama is filming on location to be aired next month.
There is a story I want to tell.
I made my little kid say “Hey, let’s go to YamaP’s place”,
I picked him up towards YamaP, who was sitting, resting in his chair.
Although YamaP was right before his eyes, my son still asked “Where is Yamapi?”
Yamashita-kun gave an embarrassed smile and looked at my son kindly.
Moreover, when watching Yamashita-kun drinking tea, my son shouted “I want to drink tea!”
“Ahahah?” Yamashita-kun raised his voice then laughed.
That “ahahah” is so refreshing!!
Just as expected from an idol!
