Kuwazugirai 2010.09.02

I do love this show. I'm a picky eater, but food is ♥.  To know other people and their culture is one of my interest.
I wish I can get the better version <.< (there is, but it's torrent ;_;)
The guests were Ohtake Shinobu & Miyazaki Aoi VS Mizushima Hiro.
Ohtake Shinobu-san is Sanma-san's ex-wife and mother of singer IMALU.

It's Aoi's first appearance, Mizushima's 2nd appearance, and 5th for Shinobu-san.
Apparently she was appeared before for 4 times already. From the vtr showed, we can see that she is a person who can't hold her reaction xD. She admitted herself that she's 最弱王 / saijaku ou (literally means king of the weakest) ^^'

The dishes both Shinobu-san and Aoi picked are:

1. 海ぶどう / umi budou (sea grape)
2. ジンギスカン / Jingisu kan (literally from Gengis Khan. It's actually a Japanese grilled mutton)
3. 馬刺し / basashi (raw, sliced horse meat)
4. ピータン豆腐 / piitan toufu (Tofu topped by pitan or century egg)

The dishes Mizushima picked are:

1. ゴボウの天ぷら / gobou no tempura (Burdock tempura)
2. 金目鯛の煮付け / kinmedai no nitsuke (Shimmered Red snapper)
3. モンブラン / monburan (Mont Blanc cake)
4. フォアグラのステーキ (Foie gras steak)

Everything went well until came to Shinobu-san's chance.  Hiro picked Jingisukan to get taste.
From her reaction, all can see that she never eat the dish before xD
This is what she asked over Jingisukan: What is this (for)?

Hiro seems like tried to ignore all the jokes around Shinobu-san, but eventually...





All that actually made Hiro and Aoi confused and worried. Hiro is really a gentleman ne^^;

Bistro SMAP 20101206 - Ashida Mana

I've been following SXS again lately. Thanks to tudou xD
SXS has new concept. No more sketch segment, and there's a new form in the Bistro as well. Sugoi on how they spent an hour without the sketch.

Last night, the guest at the Bistro was 6 years old, Ashida Mana-chan (芦田愛菜). She's the little Reina/Tsugumi-chan in "Mother".

Mana-chan is a pretty and smart girl (I love you as Bistro Host, Nakai-san!)

Since it's little girl, I can understand their talk a bit better :p

Mana-chan is Shingo number #1 aitai hito xD

SMAP five feeling dorama! 
Really sorry for Goro-san xD I don't think she even knew what 'ai no rival' means :p

They play Kakurenbo (hide & seek). Gosh, she really play hard xD

 

 

The judge of the meal (she asked for kyuuri=cucumber. For a 6 years old to love cucumber is amazing^^') was funny. Look at the way she eat..she cough then apologize. She's 100% cute! (and she looks like Tackey's..)
The winner is....

 Watch the Bistro here

I want her to come to Domoto Kyoudai! >.<

Another married couple^^'

I recently found out from tokyograph. Apparently Ichikawa Ebizo has registered their marriage last month (the announcement was made around November 2009) with FujiTV newscaster, Kobayashi Mao.

I knew her from News Zero, and I saw her with her senpai at the agency, Megumi Oishii in a variety show long ago.
Here are the preview on her announcement of her marriage and that she will leave her post at News Zero. Also the clip on Ebizo appearance at News Zero (27 December 2008).


The press conference (29 January 2010) are here 1, here 2, and here 3.  The wedding will be held on July.
Gosh, to see them together, I still hardly believe it.  Mao looks so innocent^^'. I hope Ebizo will end his playboy side for good xD

To know that the two met at her show, News Zero, just reminds me of how hyde met Megumi xD

As now we all knew, Ebizo is also Tsuyoshi senpai, as they both went on the famous celebrity "Horikoshi" school (shoujiki shindoi episode ).

A news from hollywoodreporter today said that Sawajiri Erika was thrown from her position as the lead actress for the upcoming movie "Space Battleship Yamato". It was reported that the bad image of her as the reason. The lead actor for the movie is Kimura Takuya! How come I didn't know?^^'

[bits] Speed marriage for Morisanchu's Murakami

Fri, March 28, 2008 (10:22am EDT)

28-year-old Tomoko Murakami, a member of the comedy trio Morisanchu, got married last weekend, it was learned on Friday. She later announced the news personally on a live broadcast of "Waratte Iitomo," then held a press conference on the same day.

Her husband is a 30-year-old employee of an apparel-related company whose face is said to resemble singer Masayoshi Yamazaki. They barely met on March 2 at a friend's birthday party, and they went on their first date two days later. One week later the man proposed, and they registered their marriage on the 23rd. They have not yet made plans for a ceremony.

In 2006, Murakami starred in the Fuji TV series "Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru," playing an "ugly" actress that finds love with a comedy writer (played by Goro Inagaki). That drama was based on a book by Osamu Suzuki, which was partly inspired by Suzuki's marriage to another Morisanchu member, Miyuki Oshima.

Oshima, who was also at the press conference, admitted that she was initially concerned that it might be marriage fraud, but she gave her blessing after meeting the man.

[news] Ryoko Hirosue divorces

Thu, March 13, 2008 (4:21pm EDT)

Actress Ryoko Hirosue revealed on Thursday that she and designer/model Takahiro Okazawa have divorced. According to the announcement made on her official website, various circumstances have made it difficult for the couple to continue with their marriage. However, Hirosue stated that she still respects and trusts Okazawa, and they intend to still treat each other as parents of their child.

The couple surprised the entertainment industry when they announced their marriage in December 2003. Hirosue was pregnant at the time, and she gave birth to their son four months later. She finally returned to work in 2005 with the Fuji TV series "Slow Dance."

Rumors of a separation started about two years ago when a women's magazine reported that the pair were living apart, and they were rarely seen together.

Hirosue has been given custody of their son. Neither side requested consolation money during divorce talks. Okazawa has already moved out of their Tokyo apartment.

Meanwhile, Hirosue's acting career is picking up, as she has been cast in Yojiro Takita's "Okuribito" (due out this fall) and Kazuaki Kiriya's "Goemon" (early 2009). She has also reportedly been given a role in a television drama for this summer, but details were not revealed. In addition, she has signed commercial contracts with 4 different companies.

This is from a variety show in 2006.


きれい (^^).

It was said that Megumi grandfather is British.
Megumi said to be 165-167cm and hyde said to be less than 160cm. Yup, hyde is so petite (I'm taller than him^^). I don't know, but I had a thought what if hyde born tall, say as tall as ken. I think something will be different...

[bits of pieces] Koike Teppei Solo Album - Pieces

This cute guy attracted me after I saw him in 'Lovely Complex' the movie few months a go.

Koike Teppei Profile

• Name (romaji): Koike Teppei
• Profession: Actor and singer
• Birthdate: 1986-Jan-5
• Birthplace: Osaka
• Height: 167cm
• Weight: 54kg
• Star sign: Capricorn
• Blood type: B
• JPop group: WaT (http://www.universal-music.co.jp/wat/)
• Talent agency: Ever Green Entertainment

Source: Wikiaddict


He's so cute! I heard his name before but never interest to find out about him. Later I saw his cute face on Lovely Complex. How old is this guy?? He's 21 this year yet still looks like High school student^^ Then I searched on Youtube for his work in WaT. Oh, at first I thought WaT and Koike Teppei is one of Jyanis (Johnny's) group, but they're not. WaT is independent group and Koike Teppei is not Jyanis. Surprised! A cute and talent like him not Jyanis?? :P Later I read that it was Eiji Wentz, that was scouted by Johnny's Entertainment but he rejected the company's offer, because he "doesn't like dancing" and "likes comedy." Jyanis never offered Koike? hmm..

Koike from Osaka. :P What's wrong with me? Yeah yeah, after KinKi and K8, now I started to notice everyone that come from Osaka LOL Oh, I notice one thing about Koike and Eiji. They are so polite. Gave a deep bow mostly. Reminds me of my Jang Dong Gun. So far I only saw JDG who were like that and in Japan it's WaT.

I think he's quite good in acting. I'm still looking for his latest movie with Tadanobu Asano-san, 'Taga Tameni'. Just like I expected, after saw him in Lovely Complex, I was thinking about he seems can do good as antagonist. So, I'd like to see Taga Tameni. Somehow he reminds me of Tatsuya Fujiwara (Death Note). Good looks yet evil^^ But for looks itself, he resemble Toma type, or not? :P

Koike on the right and Eiji on the left.

I wrote about Koike after I saw his album advertisement in Yesasia.

Here's from Yesasia about his new solo album 'Pieces':

Earlier this year, WaT's Koike Teppei and Wentz Eiji began to embark on some individual music projects. Both members released solo tracks, but they did so jointly in the form of double A-side singles - Kimi ni Okuro Uta/Lucky de Happy and My Brand New Way/Awaking Emotion 8/5 - allowing them to stay together even while working apart. But now Teppei is ready to step out completely on his own with his highly anticipated debut solo album, Pieces.

The album comes with 12 tracks, all written and composed by Teppei. Naturally, singles Kimi ni Okuro Uta (Track 5) and My Brand New Way (Track 2) are on the track list, along with songs like Sonna Anata ni (Track 1) and title track Pieces. For those who prefer their Wentz and Teppei together, although Wentz's vocals won't be appearing in the album, he did co-write the lyrics for Dokoka no Sora (Track 7) and Aka Renga (Track 10).

This edition comes with an A2-sized poster (version A), a 32-page booklet, and a DVD containing studio recording and photo shoot footage. Pieces @ Yesasia


I'm impressed to know he composed and wrote all the songs. His partner helped write lyrics in 2 songs. I feel like to buy his album but I have to hold. So many on my wish list and I start to confused which one I should buy first @_@
I do heard some songs from Pieces actually. Pieces, My brand new way, and Sonna Anata ni are really nice. Koike voice is unique I say, not as beautiful as Tsuyo or Subaru, but a singer who sing his own song is interesting to hear~ It's totemo sugoii, compose a song wa~ (am I' right using it?)

*edited*
Someone upload his live performance of 'My brand new way' on Music Japan 2007.06.23 (thank you Naitomea87 for the vid!)
Nice performance

Ok, work time

[J-ent] Matsuda Ryuhei, Matsuda Shota

While I was searching for Japan movies, it always turn to movies that starred by the name of Matsuda Ryuhei. From the CD cover, he looks like pretty boy (here I meant like Lee Jun-ki from Korean though Jun-ki is much prettier) and another movie he looks normal. And since in one of those movies reviewed that the actor was good also there's Tadanobu Asano the actor, so I search for more info on this guy.

I was shocked then, he was Ren Honjou from NANA; he is a truly actor; he was 15 when he act as Kano in Taboo (wow!) and now he's 23 (b. 1983); he was Matsuda Shota's (Sojiro in dorama Hana Yori Dango 1, 2*) elder brother (Shota b. 1985). They both looks different though now I saw a slight similarity. Ryuhei looks cool, fierce :P Well, compare to Shota. For acting skill, Shota should learn more from his brother^^. Apparently he was the son of both parents are actor/actreess and his late father (Matsuda Yuusaku) was died when Ryuhei was 6.

It was shocking knowing he was 15 while act as a gay samurai in Taboo. It's told that he was rejected the offer before because the role as a gay samurai. But later he changed his mind and took 2 months learning Kendo. I was reluctant to get the movie, but I think I'll just watch :)

The rest was history. He got more role in movies, I can say it's not just role. And it's the movies, festival kind not really commercial movies. Figure that he acted together with Tadanobu Asano, Shinji Takeda, Takeshi Kitano, and more. His recent movie is Rampojigoku, with Tadanobu Asano and Hiroki Narimiya (ah this sweet young actor, seems turn to movies now). I saw the trailer, and.. well.. 'the movie'. I'm surprised it has Nari-kun n_n.

Matsuda Ryuhei official website http://www.ryuhei-matsuda.com

I found this fanvid by maychan at youtube. From Gohatto/Taboo movie with Gackt's song. I think the song is really fit with the scenes.
