Good evening.

Well,
we've exceeded 10,000 entries posted on our BBS!!
From all of us, the cast and staff,
Thank you very much!!
We shall carefully read your impressions of the second episode!
"Episode 2!"
April 24, 2010 (Sat)
Hello, it's staff member "A".
Tonight is the second night of "Doyou no Arashi"!
Episode 2 of "Kaibutsu-kun" airs from 9 p.m.!
In Episode 2
Hiroshi's sister,
Utako, is still a high school student who bravely strives to support her family,
and she falls under the evil influence of the Demon Clan!
The unthinkable happens to
the yamato nadeshiko* Utako.
[t/n: yamato nadeshiko = idealized "perfect" Japanese woman]
Episode 2 of "Kaibutsu-kun" and "Arashi ni Shiyagare"!
Everyone, please
watch the above two (shows)!!
Episode 2 Completed!!
April 23, 2010 (Fri)
Good morning!!
It's staff member "S".
The KanPake (completed package) for Episode 2 were finished awhile ago-!!
We promptly passed them out to the cast and crew
during today's filming!!
At the same time, I'm taking in the On Air tapes!!
The tapes being taken in are the main tape (that will be aired) and a reserve tape;
there's also a tape that is aired for close-captioned subs.
A main and a reserve tape are prepared so that,
in case a problem occurs,
the main tape can be replaced with the reserve one,
their contents are the same.
In the second episode, Kaibutsu-kun learns about "money".
Please watch Kaibutsu-kun as he alternates between happiness and sorrow because (of the influence) of "money"!!
♥ After this!
April 22, 2010 (Thurs)
Hello. It's staff member "K".
Please don't miss "Gurunai" which will start after this!
What! The Prince might have to pay out of his own pocket?!
"Message!"
April 22, 2010 (Thurs)
"Kaibutsu-kun Episode 2!"
"Please watch it~!!"
This was a message from Utako and Hiroshi, who are
lately really starting to look like siblings!
by staff member "A"
Amazement Tonight!
April 21, 2010 (Wed)
Hello. It's staff member "K".
On tonight at 9 p.m.,
on "The World's Amazing News"
our Demolina, Inemori Izumi-san will make an appearance!
And we might be able to see an Inemori-san from 10 years ago??
Please look forward to it!
"Money"
April 21, 2010 (Wed)
Good morning!
It's staff member "S".
Money is the theme for episode 2.
Props from the art department.
The money was prepared for us by the producer!!
In front (of the money), Hong Man-san started to play act a burglary scene,
calling out to the staff members who would pass by,
"Give me your money~!!"
Because real money
was used in the drama for a scene,
we saw the sight of
the producer going around to several banks
exchanging (old) money for crispy new bills. . .
Today's picture is of. . .
.
nameplates of (a portion) of some past programs
that have been edited at Ikuta Studios.
[t/n: none of the drama nameplates are of past Arashi dramas
although the original "The Quiz Show" is listed on the wall : D ]
Inside the studio, there are two editing rooms,
the Saturday drama "Kaibutsu-kun" is edited in the red room,
and the Wednesday drama "Mother" in the blue room.
♥ The Prince and his Companions are very chummy!
April 20, 2010 (Tues)
Good evening. It's staff member "K".
They themselves have said so during various events, but
the Prince, Dracula-sama, Wolfman-sama, and Franken-sama
have been in-synch since the first day of filming!
That: "It doesn't feel as if this is our first time acting together, but
rather as if we're acting buddies who've known each other from a long time ago."
This sense of closeness has increased as the days go by,
and now, on the days that filming ends early,
apparently the Prince, Dracula-sama, and Wolfman-sama
go out to eat together often.
The other day, regardless of the fact that
the three of them were to end filming at different times,
they got in touch with each other over the phone, and
discussed whether they would go out of their way to
get together to go out to eat.
They rea~~lly are close/friendly with one another!
It warms one's heart (to see this).
Today's picture is of dinner (served) at a certain film shoot!
It's the Prince's favorite, "curry".
It makes one happy to have hot curry and soup on a cold day!
Utako Will Make an Appearance!
April 19, 2010 (Mon)
Good evening. It's staff member "K".
At 10:00 tonight, on
"Shabekuri 007"
Utako and Kawashima Umika-chan make an appearance!
[t/n: Kawashima Umika plays the character of Utako on K-kun]
Utako really lets loose!
First time ever viewed in this country
we might be able to see
Utako and XX-san and XX-san's
Pa_yu-_ "Po_ri_mu"* ?!
[t/n: I have nooooo~ idea what the last line is, guess we needed to watch the show for it to make sense ^^;;;
[EDIT: got some info from kawaii_beela ! The line is probably: "Utako and Tokui-san (from Tutorial) and ??-san's Perfume Polyrhythm?" Thank you!! :D ]
Please look forward to it!
"Thank you very much!"
April 19, 2010 (Mon)
Hello, it's staff member "A".
Thank you for all the thoughts you've
posted on the BBS!
We carefully read each and every one.
In a medium such as television,
it's different from movies and stageplays.
It's difficult to get
viewers' opinions.
In this case,
the comments on the official home page's BBS
is one of the few places where we can hear
everyone's voice/opinions.
And of course, they're a source of
energy/encouragement to the cast and crew!
Among them are suggestions for improvements or (expressions of) dissatisfaction,
we'd like to listen to these as we continue creating the program.
From now on, we ask for your continued favor/support
through your comments on the BBS!
And!
I'm sure many of you have realized this already but,
but the "Kaibutsu-kun Maniacs" (quiz) on the homepage
has increased from Level 0 -> Level 1!
The questions have gotten a little harder.
If you answer all the questions correctly (Mania Level 100%),
you receive a new Kaibutsu-kun wallpaper!
Kaibutsu-kun Maniacs will
level up (become more difficult) after the airing of each week's episode.
And a NEW version of the wallpaper will be featured each time.
Please don't forget to earn/win the wallpapers.
Everyone, please take the challenge!!
♥ Good evening!

Good evening. It's staff member "K".
Thank you very much for all your comments!
I've written this several times before but,
I keenly felt how all of you were
looking forward to this drama.
Thank you so very much.
Let's do our best together!
By the way,
Starting at 9 p.m. tonight,
our Prince will appear on
"Gyouretsu ga Dekiru Houritsu Soudanjyo".
Everyone, watch Gyouretsu zamasu!

→ Now, what does it say?
Thank you for your thoughts/impressions.

Good evening.
It's staff member "S".
Thank you everyone, for watching Episode 1!!
It's been a few hours since the program aired,

We'll go over each and every one.
In order to make this drama even just a little bit better,
the cast and staff will all do their best!!
