KIMURA TAKUYA
[RUMOR] Three Kimura's Drama Projects: TBS, NHK, FujiTV has been planned
http://johnnys-watcher.seesaa.net/article/317218610.html First, TBS Autumn drama, October - December 2013, which I believe Kimura has hinted too, in interviews? There was a rumor last year that Kimura's drama will be written by Mitani Koki, I hope it comes true!!*v*
Second, FujiTV getsuku drama next year, 2014. Following the trend of Galileo's sequel success, FujiTV is currently considering for a HERO sequel.
Third, NHK Taiga Drama 2015, Nobunaga Moyu, Kimura will play the lead, Oda Nobunaga.
I believe the 1st one, but I got tired of the 2nd and 3rd repetitive rumors XD I don't believe it.
However, it's HERO 2... how can I not hope for it? I may not believe it, but I can't deny there's this small hope inside me, wishing that it'll come true XD Though, I'd prefer to see Kimura and Matsu work together again in a TOTALLY different piece. Like a showa-background movie... or maybe Matsu as Lady Ichi, Nobunaga's half-sister in NHK Taiga 2015. I want to see forbidden semi-incest romance between Nobunaga and Ichi played by Kimura-Matsu, hahaaa~
But STILL... if we get 40 yrs old Kuryu Kohei & 35 yrs old Amamiya Maiko STILL IN the "Are they? Aren't they" mood.... who'd refuse that?? hahaha~ I had always try to imagine Kuryu-Amamiya awkward dating phase, would love to see that gets realized ^v^
Oh well... one can only hope...
KATORI SHINGO
Shingo announced in SD, that he wrapped up filming KasuKano on May 13. Fans are wondering, 'why so early?'. Usually for spring dramas, they'd start filming on mid/end March and ends on early/mid June. But for KasuKano, Shingo started filming in early February, so it was overlapping with Jinrui Shikin's filming.
Fans wondering "Maybe he has to shoot more scenes for Jinrui film?", the other denied "no that movie's filming has wrapped up on April 8th, it was officially announced,"
As far as I know, Shingo don't have any stageplay or another movie to work on... right?
So I came up with another theory.... what if Shingo will be busy planning 2013 concert anytime soon now? It's the perfect time to start planning right? Will they announce it in end-June/early-July?
(oh no... *yanie starts counting her savings*)
How about the others' schedule? Seem available for July-September concert? I think so... except Kimura who will be starring an autumn drama, but if the concert ends early September, it'll be perfect for him to focus on his autumn drama.
MIZUKI ARISA
http://www.tokyohive.com/2013/05/mizuki-alisas-starring-drama-saito-san-to-have-a-sequel/ SAITOU-SAN 2 has been announced, starting July!! And Arisa will start filming in early June! Yay! I love the first series alot! This means, Arisa's tough lady image continues this year. I believe the filming will be over just in time promotions for Jinrui Shikin starts, perfect!
Arisa mentioned in her blog that May 15 was her 22nd anniversary since she debuted as a singer. She just realized that when she got a text from her friend. (imagining its Shingo who congratulate her, lol)
She apologized for not doing much activities as a singer since her SpeciAlisa in 2011, but she's thinking of start singing again next year, yay!
TANAKA RENA
http://www.tokyohive.com/2013/05/ishihara-satomi-to-star-in-the-special-drama-koi/ Rena will be starring a TBS Drama special. Back to TBS since Ryokiteki? Wow... I thought she'd stuck forever with NHK XD But then again, she's really stuck with drama specials, isn't she? I wish she'd get the lead as a genuine 11-eps series in a non-NHK station.
But I have deep interest in her upcoming NHK drama, she's the lead and her co-stars are Yamamoto Koji, Kiritani Kenta, Kuninaka Ryoko and Tomosaka Rie. Looks interesting and love the cast lineup!
