Dirt and Diamonds

To sum it up, these are the newest pa~ir. For tonight that is. Cos only a few days ago, Keiko was in the midst of a cold war with Mao over Matsujun.

Araguki Yui x Tegoshi Yuya

Keiko Kitagawa x Kimura Ryou (Nakao of Hana Kimi)

From Nakao to Ashiya.

香港 ~ Las Vegas
2008年02月28日 19:38

香港からLasVegasへ大移動。
成田ではトランジットのみでそのままLAへ、国内線に乗り継ぎLasVegasまで。
日本からLAまでは、ジェット気流に乗れたこともあり、かなり早めに到着。
せっかく早く着いたのに、予約していた便が欠航で約3時間待ちに…
次の出発ゲートまでが果てしなく遠かった。
到着してみるとLAからLasVegasまでの移動だけで7時間、香港からいれると約25時間。
時差を超えた長~い一日でした。

Hong Kong ~ Las Vegas
28th February 2008 19:38

It's the great migration from Hong Kong to Las Vegas.
We only stopped in transit at Narita on our way to LA. We then transferred to a domestic airline, to Las Vegas.
From Japan to Las Vegas, we could fly with the jet stream, so we can arrive ahead of time.
But even though we took pains to arrive early, the reserved flight was suspended for about 3 hours...
It looked endlessly far to the next departure gate.
Just to get from LA to Las Vegas took about 7 hours, to include from Hong Kong, it would be 25 hours.
To cross over the time differences, it was a lo~ong day.

Gospel #1653

I haven't done this in awhile. Lost my source, found another one, then tried to replace Yamapi with Shige. Was besotted when I heard that he carries an electronic dictionary around. Haha~ Yappari, Yamapi is hard to get rid of though. So from this entry on, I'll trudge forward.

Konbachiwa !
Today I had a test !
I, with all my might, did my best !
Regaining half a year's work is almost impossible ! (*laugh*)

If possible, I want to graduate within 4 years !
Hope I can do it !

Today throughout the day, I was thinking in my head 80% of the time !


~

Lately, the gossip pages have been commenting that there's a high possibility he's going to be repeating a year. On the other hand, Meiji would prefer he graduate as he was featured in their brochure. Kurosagi opens on the 8th of March, graduates will be announced on the 10th. So till then, the rumours would probably just come daily. Yes, I know gossip is the source of all earthly evil but I don't smoke or drink so it's my choice of poison.

Today, because of the rain... filming ended in the morning !! After that... we went to eat eel and rice with the producer of the drama !! Super tasty ('-^*)/ How to say it, my tongue was enchanted ne !! But... maybe it's still the tongue of a child... rather than the unagi... I prefer the unagi sauce (^_^;) After that, we took note of some things for tomorrow's filming and went back to the hotel, and I was soon sound asleep (*laugh*) Because work was halted by the rain, I ended up sleeping over at the hotel again today !! To be away from Tokyo for 8 nights and 9 days... as might be expected, I want to go back there ↓↓ (*laugh*)

The comment during Jump, makes you think that there'll be a kid on tomorrow ne ?? I'm sorry to say, tomorrow... there won't be (^_^;) Sorry ↓↓

The day of the drama broadcast is slowly getting near ne (^-^)/ Until the April drama season, really, thank you for waiting !!

unagi - eel
Eels sound unappetizing, but they really taste good.

花より男子~ファイナル~ 香港ロケ③
2008年02月25日 14:26

F4だけのシーンで夜が空いた日に外食へ。
今回、香港でコーディネーターとしてついてくださった辻村さんは、ジャッキーチェンの専属通訳でありながら、
グルメ本を出されている方。

下記はお薦めの料理の数々。
真央ちゃんの写真をみてもわかるとおり、おっきなロブスターにとろっとろっのチーズ、
下にはパスタがあって、焼きたてのパンまでついてくるのでお皿はきれいになくなりました。

「香港に来ることがあれば、また絶対に食べに来た~い!」と、すべての料理に感動しきりの真央ちゃんでした。

Hana Yori Dango ~Final~ Hong Kong location ③
25th February 2008 14:26

It was a scene that involved only the F4, so we had a free night to eat out.
This time, the coordinator given to us in Hong Kong, Tsujimura-san, who is an interpreter under contract with Jackie Chan, also has a gourmet book out.

Following are the frequently recommended cuisine.
As you look at Mao-chan's photos, you will get it, big lobster, fatty fatty cheese, below it pasta, freshly-made bread accompaying it, the dishes disappeared promptly.
"If I come to Hong Kong again, I'll definitely want to come here again !" Mao-chan was impressed with all of the food.

Lobster brimming with cheese



Boiled prawns and Stir-fried vegetable


Baked seafood (scallops) and Jumbo crab deep-fried in garlic

この日は郊外にある学校を借りての撮影。
待ち時間にホワイトボードや割本にスタッフの似顔絵を書いている真央ちゃん。

一番身近にいるST・HM二人のを見たらそっくり!!
可愛いバージョンとリアルバージョンそれぞれ描いていたけど、
リアルバージョンを載せると本人たちからクレームが出そうなので、ここでは可愛い方をお披露目。
特徴を捉えていてお見事な真央画伯でした。

*割本…当日現場で配られる、その日撮影する一日分のシーンとスケジュールが載っている冊子。
      監督がどうやってとるかのカット割が書かれています。

*HM…ヘアメイク   *ST…スタイリスト

23rd February 2008 09:30

It was the day we had filming in a high school we rented in the suburbs.
While waiting, Mao-chan drew a portrait of the staff on the whiteboard and assignment book.



The best one that resembles them ST・HM looks just like them !!
She drew a kawaii version and a real version but the people involved complained against having it shown here, so here is the debut of the kawaii version.
She perceived their features splendidly, the artist Mao-chan.



* assignment book ... delivered on the day of filming at the location shoot, the day's filming, scenes and schedule are recorded in this booklet.

* HM ... hair and make-up * ST ... stylist

花より男子~ファイナル~ 香港ロケ①
2008年02月22日 23:10

香港についたとたん、すごい数の人にビックリ!
ホテルまでの移動にも何台もの車が追いかけてきて並走。
マスコミのみならず一般の人も車で追いかけてくるくる…

もちろこんな経験は真央ちゃんも初めて。
外へ食事に出るだけで1BOXカーが9台も尾行。
でてきたコメントは「日本に来た時のヨン様はこんな感じなのかなぁ…」
思わず、ダイアナ妃を追いかけるパパラッチ軍団を思い出しました。

日本のみならず、応援してくれるファンの皆さんとお会いできる機会は大事にしたいものの、事故やケガには繋がっては困るし、 私達スタッフもどうにかならないものか色々と考えさせられました。

写真は、ロケの合間でのスチール撮影中。
写真集やオフィシャルHPなどのためにビデオやカメラがたくさんきています。
この写真はどのへんに使われるんだろう?

Hana Yori Dango ~Final~ Hong Kong location ①
22nd February 2008 22:10

As soon as we arrived in Hong Kong, we were surprised by the number of people !
Even on the way to the hotel, a number of vehicles were in pursuit of us, side by side.
Not only the people from the media, normal people were pursuing us...

Certainly, this is the first time Mao-chan has experienced something like this.
Just to have a meal outside, we were shadowed by 1 box car and 9 vehicles.
The comment that come out was "When Yong-sama came to Japan, I wonder if this is how he felt..."
Unintentionally, we were reminded of Princess Diana and the army of paparazzo which chased her.

Although having the opportunity to meet fans who have given support is important, to be involved in accidents or getting injured is worrying. In one way or another, us the staff too, were thinking of ways if we could do anything about it.

The photo is taken during the filming break, during the still shots.
Many videos and cameras are around for the photobook and official HP.
I wonder how this photo is going to be used ?



カメラマンの後ろでパチリ!
Behind the cameraman, quickly snap a shot !

~

Not sure, but think the Yong-sama she mentioned is this one. Anyway he must be a popular Korean actor in Japan. Poor Mao-chan.
