I remember last year 2005. I was in Singapore because he was there to promoto 'The Promise'. He's so nice as a star. I can compare because I've seen another actor who didn't nice when coming to abroad. So tonight is the day. I hope can see any report soon.

[Vid] Hyde and Ken - Matthew Best Hit 2004

I found these clips at Youtube. It's hillarious! All Laruku fans must watch! Hyde wa.. I'm still surprised whenever I saw him on a variety show! I won't say this, but he's adorable indeed. I like when he's singing for karaoke, 'Julia ni heart break'. Apparently that's The Checkers's song (Vo. Fujii Fumiya). He sang it so energetic! Ken also.. this is the first time I heard him singing. Nice, his voice just like the elder generation sing (I'm praising here^). I saw some variety show where hyde-ken as the guests. Wonder with other partner.
Ok here's the clip, enjoy!

[SMAP] SMAPXSMAP

SMAPXSMAP is a famous variety show on FujiTV hosted by popular Japan group, SMAP. Aired on Monday 10pm.
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/smapsmap/index2.html

SMAP (Sport Music and Ansamble People) consist of Nakai Masahiro (34), Kimura Takuya (34), Inagaki Goro (33), Kusanagi Tsuyoshi (32), and Katori Shingo (30), five talento from Johnny's entertainment. The group exist for 15 years till now, the most popular group in Johnny's and Japan. Why? Each member is a talento that their names was famous.
The group did singing, dancing, comedy, everything. At first they did sing, but later they did comedy to get attention, and it worked. Each members can act, especially Kimura Takuya that beside act, he has the aura, kakkoi, well it's hard to describe. Most of his dramas got high rating, above 20%. And all famous. I mean it's been a talk when it was aired. I recommend all his dramas.
The rest of members have their own field of success. Nakai Masahiro is one of the famous host/MC. He's one of the higher tax payment. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi was Korean addicted. He can speak Korean fluently (he interviewed Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin before. That's why I knew him^^) and he has his own acting field, mostly movies. Katori Shingo (among the fans) as the youngest member and the biggest member. He's good at drawing. He was casted as lead actor in great drama/movie like as Kondo Isami in Shinsengumi, Ninja Hattori in Ninxnin movie, and Son Go Ku in Saiyuuki (Journey to the west).

I like this group. They didn't good at singing, but their songs unforgettable. They didn't looks handsome, but they looks really nice and friendly. Each of member has different personalities, 5 personalities. No one look alike. I wonder how they can be together for 15 years. That's how I admire them. We can learn something from from their works, from them.
Ok, enough for the introduction. Go to SMAPXSMAP.

SMAPXSMAP was divided into some segmen.
Bistro SMAP. Nakai as the host and the other 4 members as the chef. They pair in two and cook meal that is guest order. The guest will taste all meals and decide the winner. The winner will get a present such as a souvenir or a kiss.

Bistro Gift I really love Bistro SMAP.

Comedy sketch. They can imitate some actors/talento, variety show, movie scene, dorama scene, a parodi.

Games. They do have games, but it's not just a game, sometimes they modified so it's more interesting. They have regular competition annually and in the end who lost the game will have a punishment, a batsu. The batsu itself is interesting.

Ending Talk. This segmen put near the end, before or after segmen 'Ending Song'. They have a short talk among themself or with the Ending song's guest.

Ending Song. They perform a song for the ending show. Sometimes they have a guest.

The plus point of SMAPXSMAP show is they can bring international artist as the guest. Michael Jackson, Richard Gere, Tobey McGuire, Will Smith, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Jang Dong Gun, Jackie Chan, and many more. So the show was seen by international audience too.

SMAPxSMAP started on 1996. I hope it still be continu till SMAP retire n__n

I like this picture. Don't you think they looks so cool?

In the site, there's announcement for the 2007 Tour. I had a dream, I can go to their concert one day...

[Dorama] JDorama I've watched

I'm currently watching 'Nodame Cantabile' (FujiTV, 2006) starring Tamaki Hiroshi, Ueno Juri, Eita, Naoto Takenaka. I'm just on episode 2. It's really interesting story. It said the story based on manga with the same title. I haven't read the manga, but the drama itself is so comical.

I'm in the middle of watching 'Stand Up!' too, but I paused because watching it need good mood. The good casts did not enough to made me 'up'. More over, other drama coming, so I choose the other :D Oh, the casts is Kazunari Ninomiya (Arashi), Yamashita Tomohisa (NewS), Hiroki Narimiya, Shun Oguri, and Tsukamoto Takashi.

I have 'Summer Snow' (Tsuyoshi Dohmoto, Ryoko Hirosue) in my waiting list.


Recently I finished 'Ikebukoro West Gate Park' (IWGP, 2000) starring Tomoya Nagase (Tokio), Yosuke Kubozuke, Ken Watanabe, Sato Ryuta, Yamashita Tomohisa (NewS), Ai Kato, Koyuki, Kenji Sakaguchi and others I dunno their names though i knew them. Yea, many actors/actress in it that I knew. And watching such drama is interesting. With most are casts are good actors then the drama would be good to watch.
IWGP story is interesting. I won't do any spoiler here, just the story is not.. well, not like what I thought. Many surprising scene!! uh is that a spoiler? Gomen. Well, that's it. I recommend it.

What do I found in this drama? uhmm.. oh, Ikebukuro West Gate Park. I saw the place in Hana Yori Dango (Hanadan) too, where Tsukushi got kidnapped. Add IWGP, I think it's a dangerous place. But I'd like to visit it when I go to Japan, someday. Public bath. So there's it, just like Korean. Don't they have their own bathroom in their home?

[News] Hikkie divorced her husband
