  • Hikari Mitsushima for NHK’s The Pioneers

    Oh, I guess I gotta watch NHK all day to get fed all their upcoming series — at least for January. We all knew that Kenichi Matsuyama would be doing this year’s Taiga (Time really does fly!), but who knew Hikari Mitsushima (Love Exposure [1], Sawako Decides, Villain) is ending up on NHK?

    The Pioneers, which is wayyyy easier to type than Kaitakushatachi (開拓者たち), showed a small clip while I was watching and seemed pretty good. According to Tokyograph:

    A special “documentary drama” mini-series to commemorate the launch of its BS Premium channel and the 40th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic ties between Japan and China. […]

    The story is set in the region formerly known as Manchuria and is based on the groups trying to resettle there in the years after the Manchurian Incident. The central characters are a family of four siblings who live there, but who are forced to flee due to the Soviet invasion of the region and Japan’s defeat in World War II. As a result, they return to Japan and attempt to forge a new life on a farm in the Tochigi prefecture.

    The clip looked really good. We all know Hikari Mitsushima is a pretty good actress and this seems to be one of those projects. But as anything Japanese, no clips online to embed so I stole these:

  • Rie Miyazawa for Men’s Club Magazine

    You gotta love Rie Miyazawa~

    and of course, these are my favorite shots of the shoot. I like the detail on the thumb and the watch, and the fact that she’s looking straight at the camera.

    BOY STYLE!

  • Traveling with Yu-chan and Calbee

    I refuse to believe there’s no script on this one [1]. I just refuse to believe Yu-chan is this cute in real life. And I have an urge to eat some chips, with the lack of Calbee Potato Chipusu around – I’m just gonna have to get any other chips.

    By the way, two funny CMs [KOIWEB] in like one week. Yu-chan, I know you do this on purpose.

    — EDIT —

    There’s also an Amusement Park version.

  • Yu Aoi for BEAMS’ KOIWEB: Koi o Shimashou

    Yu-chan, why do you do these? I mean, release stuff on the same day. It makes me do multiple posts, and makes this blog look hugely disproportionate. xD

    Having said that, what are these? Because they’re hilariously cute.

  • When Aoi Was Natsui

    My gosh! Look what I found on Weibo~

    At the time, Yu was only 1.50m xD

    By the way, she’s turning 26 in two days. Yu is now closer to her 30s than her 20s. O_O

  • Yu Aoi in India, GINZA Mag, and Minami he on WOWOW

    It seems like I haven’t blogged about Yu Aoi for a while. I certainly haven’t checked her website, so I’m a little out of the loop.

    The title on this post may be a little misleading. I don’t know whether Yu is in India, but the cover for GINZA Magazine for the July edition seems to indicate something similar… or maybe it will just be “India style”. Who knows~

    See the bottom title on the left?

    Aoi Yu, something about color no INDO he.

    While checking Yu’s website, I also found out that WOWOW will be showing a broadcast of Minami he~ it would be super awesome if someone took the time to record that and upload it so we could watch — even without subs. LOL

    Minami he – WOWOW
    July 8th, 11:30pm

    Yup, that’s it.

    what have you guys been up to lately?

  • Kou Shibasaki is a Rocking Lady Shogun

    Thoughts on Ooku?

    You know I really really love Kou Shibasaki’s acting (not so much her music), and she was easily the best part in that movie. And it’s not even that scene in which the chambers opened to a sight of pretty men bowing to her, and she tells them they’re a bunch of useless and pretty men. LOL

    Is not even that scene.

  • Ten Actresses that Should Move to Cable

    Re-pimping this old list~ xD

    It’s always been tough to be a working actress on the big screen, as you turn a little older, offers often seem to be linked to “being someone else’s mother,” but cable television seems to be becoming more and more attractive to not only writers – because they get to write more challenging stories and skip censors – but also to women who were movie actresses and have found new complex roles to take on.

    you can read the whole thing on YAM Magazine~
