Maybe it’s the choice of the cinema. Or maybe it’s the timing. Then again it could be Takuya Kimura. Hero the movie actually attracted more aunties than young girls from what I observed at the debut this afternoon.
I know he has made fans of Japanese women in different age group but I hadn’t realised that the man has fallen into the category of being an auntie killer (师奶杀手). And is it coincidence or what that I just received an email from Ashes this morning and part of the content was about how her mum has been gushing over how handsome my hero looked in the Gatsby commercial?
Actually come to think of it, I’m quite close to being an auntie myself. *Gasp*
Well, aunties or not, we all certainly enjoyed the movie very much. It’s a continuation of the hit drama series with the original cast all intact and if you’ve loved that, you surely won’t want to miss this on the big screen. The cast is excellent, the story line is great, and the pace is fast. Plus my Takuya Kimura is definitely more than eye candy as the ultimate hero.
Simply SUGOI!
Yalor..! auntie or not.. can still go ga-ga .. over Takuya.

Hee hee.. I guess those young girls all go gaga over those Korean stars like Rain and Dong-Fang-Shen-Qi (don’t know the Korean name).
ZM: He’s still quite hot with the younger girls but I was surprised that got so many aunties like him too.

Haha, so not true! I’m not of auntie status (or at least I hope not? I’m 25.) but I still love him!
Stumbled onto your blog from googling Takuya about two weeks ago. O=] Don’t worry, I’m not a crazy stalker or anything! I just love how you write so openly about your family, experiences & your love for Takuya Kimura! Kudos to you =]
MK: Hi, welcome! Yes, I reckoned he’s still popular among the younger girls. In fact, I always thought he’s more popular with younger girls. Just surprised that he’s got aunty fans cos Japanese dramas aren’t exactly hot material these days here.
* No, you’re not auntie. Just halfway to the mark.

hey I caught this over the weekend too and it was a sneak preview and I thought your Kimura is absolutely charming! He does not seem as though he has aged at all!
Hubs was telling me that there is actually a HERO drama serial. Was wondering if I should get it for my DVD binge!
msff: He’s superb as always! If you like the movie, then you should try to watch the drama series. Each episode has a different story line but they’re always gripping.
