Yesh! A new movie for Takuya Kimura! This time it is Hero, the popular drama which he starred in as the kokoii Kuryu Kohei, a very brilliant but totally unconventional and quirky public procecutor.
This is so exciting! Those who have watched Hero would definitely love to watch this. It was one of his best drama with very high viewership, averaging 35%. It’s one of those that you’ll just want MORE!
Apparently, the entire original cast from the drama is in the movie as well, including my not very favourite Matsu Takako. But okay, I don’t mind her nerdy look that much this time.
For those who haven’t watched the drama, you can catch it on Youtube here. And from the looks of it, the movie will probably be screened in the 2nd half of the year.
I’M SO GOING TO WATCH THIS FOR SURE!
hey you know, I started watching his shows more than 10 years ago (*gasp* I am THAT OLD!!) and till now, I do not find that he has age but just became more manly and still boyish looking.
msff: Oooooh…you’re a fan too? Yay!!! The guy just looks better as he age. I can never get tired of looking at his face. Btw, which is your fave drama? Mine is: Beautiful Life, Pride, Hero and Long Vacation.

When I saw that the movie was being released, I was soo wondering when you would blog about this!
carrie: Haha…you know my devotion to the guy huh? But sometimes I’m a bit late…and lately I don’t even have time to watch his stuff online…

I watched the episode that you linked to and it looks like a good show. Of course, I’m reading along in English so maybe I’m missing some of the finer points, but that’s okay. I’ll start on the next one tomorrow when I have the time.
ally: You’re watching it??? Whoo hoo! It’s a great plot and you’ll like it!

isn’t life great with Takuya to look forward to? first half of 2007 got Love and Honor, and 2nd half got Hero!!! Btw, my fave dorama will be Long Vacation, Hero and Good Luck:)
Jes: Yay! Must watch! Must watch! Die die also must watch!
Good Luck is not bad, but I find the story, especially the ending unrealistic…

I just need to find a way to download from Youtube.
DR: Is it possible to download? I thought we can only watch it online…

Really? Yay yay!!
Second half of the year is not too far away. Woo!
I love ‘Pride’, and ‘Beautiful Life’ the most! He looks so cool in the former. Have watched the DVDs many times over. Beautiful Life, I cry buckets every time I watch it. So sad!
And I HATE Takako Matsu! Many of my friends find her cute. I find her so…not!
DT: 2nd half in Japan but don’t know if it will be released here at the same time. Heard about Sept. Haha…you also don’t like Takako Matsu. Your friends guys is it?

heh, i got hooked at Long Vacation and those eyes…piercingly sensitive and yet smouldering. Ah I don’t know how to describe but simply mesmerizing!
msff: Yes, mesmerizing is THE word!

Eh… Crazymommy recommended I try Veoh. I have problems with the player but if you don’t mind watching online, it doesn’t break up the show like in Youtube.
DR: There are a few out there but I cannot remember their URL now. Anyway with Youtube, what I do is to let the show download by clicking on the pause button, and then watch it a little later.

No, my friends - gals! *roll eyes*
my opinion, I find TK looks best on screen with Takeuchi Yuuko. Well, maybe becos’ I love that show! ;P
I dislike Takako Tokiwa too, but still love Beautiful Life!
DT: Oh yesh…I love that pair up. More of Takeuchi with Takuya!
