Pop Ya
Good morning !! Yesterday I intruded on Fuji TV to record a variety program ('-^*)/ It's been awhile since I've been on a talk show so I was nervous but I went in resolutely with the spirit that I could do it ('-^*)/ Please watch it ne !!
I did filming for the variety show Pop Ya, where I'm a regular, today too !! When it goes on air, watch it and you will see how different the atmosphere is, I think it's a really interesting program !! There's nothing interesting about me but I shouldn't say it... (*laugh*) The first time Tanaka-san was around the cast, he was quite the mad character. I think more and more amusing things are going to happen !! I don't know if you can catch it since it's a late night show but for those who keep late hours, try your best to watch it ne ('-^*)/
Today is the Puzzle job-well-done party !! I do feel sad but this is a celebration of the tenacity we have shown up to now. Off to some farewells !!

ポップ屋
おはようございます!!昨日はバラエティーの撮影でフジテレビにお邪魔してきましたぁ('-^*)/久しぶりのトーク番組だったので緊張したんですが、思い切ってやれた気がしましたぁ('-^*)/是非、みてくださいね!!
今日もレギュラーのバラエティー番組ＰＯＰ屋の撮影ですっ!!オンエアを見てもらうと分かるようにすごく変わった雰囲気で面白い番組だと思ってます!!僕は面白い事言えないし、あんまし話せないけど…(笑)でも、田中さんはじめ周りのキャストの方々がかなりのキョーレツキャラなんで絶対に、回をおうごとに面白さが増すとおもいます!!深夜でなかなかみれないかもしれませんが、夜更かしをして頑張ってみてくださいね('-^*)/
今日はパズルの打ち上げです!!寂しい気持ちもありますが、今までの頑張りを祝い、別れをしてきます!!

Ikuta Toma wins Actor in a Supporting Role Award / Nikkan Drama Grand Prix
Ikuta gazed at the trophy and murmured "I'm receiving this award because I have been aided by so many people, they made me who I am today. I will never forget my debt of gratitude to them ne."
In 2007, he played a detestable villain role as a high school student in Hana Yori Dango 2. After that he displayed his comedic sense in the completely opposite role as Nakatsu. Later on, it was a supporting but indispensable role in Honey and Clover as someone naive and simple. He has shown himself in a variety of roles. Amongst them all, Hanazakari has been responsible for bringing Ikuta to fame. "The gallery at the filming location was sparse the first time we shot. During the last one, it was packed with crowds. People who have never done it before, small children and office workers, are calling out to me... I can feel the size of this drama."
"When I have an idea, I'll discuss it with the staff. Even that scene with the panty covering my head, I set my brains on fire thinking thoroughly about it for 3 months." The drama then promised the solo Ikuta unrequited love delusion scene.
Nakatsu posing with a panty on his head, dressing as a nurse in pink. "This work winning an award, it's because of the large wardrobe we had so I have to give the award to it, thanks a lot." The depth in his heart. The possibilities are infinite.

助演男優賞は生田斗真／日刊ドラマＧＰ
＜第１１回日刊スポーツ・ドラマグランプリ受賞者発表＞
ジャニーズの異色タレント生田斗真（２３）が、「第１１回日刊スポーツ・ドラマグランプリ」の助演男優賞を受賞した。フジテレビ系「花ざかりの君たちへ～イケメン♂パラダイス」の中津秀一役で、コメディーセンスを存分に発揮。一躍知名度をアップさせた。クールな二枚目の裏に潜む素顔は、泉谷しげる（５９）にあこがれる熱血漢だった。
生田はトロフィーを見つめてつぶやいた。「賞をもらえるのは、これまで多くの人にお世話になって、今の自分があるから。義理人情は絶対に忘れちゃいけないですよね」。
０７年は、「花より男子２」で悪役高校生を憎々しく演じた後に、この中津役で対極のコメディーセンスを発揮した。その後には「ハチミツとクローバー」で、準主役の純朴な狂言回しと、多彩な演技を披露した。中でも「花ざかり－」は生田にとっての出世作。「初回のロケではパラパラだったギャラリーが、最終回では人だかり。僕もチビッコやサラリーマンという、今までにない人たちにまで声を掛けてもらうようになって…。このドラマの大きさを感じました」。
同世代の男（ライバル）ばかりの現場は刺激的で、自由な雰囲気だった。「いい意味での競争社会で、力を合わせていると実感できた。アイデアを持って行くと、スタッフがディスカッションしてくれる。パンティーのかぶり方１つまで、必死に考え抜いた３カ月間でした」。生田１人での片思い妄想シーンは、ドラマのお約束になった。
口をつく言葉は、冒頭のつぶやき同様にしゃれっ気はなく、むしろ武骨だ。格好良さの定義を尋ねると「男として仕事に必死で、結果も残して、毎日楽しそうにうまいお酒を飲んでいる大人たち」と答えた。「カッコイイと思えた先輩たちは、みんなかっこつけない人たちでした」。
例えば「ハチミツ－」で共演した泉谷しげる。「『最近のバンドがいい曲を出しているのを見ると、メチャクチャ悔しい』って言われるんです。あの年で本気で悔しがる泉谷さんって、メチャ輝いている。それを聞いてると、何でオレはまだ２３歳なんだって悔しくなるほど」（笑い）。泉谷の頭ではなく魂が、まぶしかったという。
ジャニーズでは異端児だ。成人ながら、いまだ歌手デビューしていないジャニーズＪｒ．。それでも、俳優として名を上げ、ＣＭにも単独出演する。「昨年大みそかのカウントダウンコンサートでは、子（ね）年の赤西仁、錦戸亮たちと“年男コーナー”みたいのがあったんですけど、彼らはＫＡＴ－ＴＵＮやＮＥＷＳとしても出番がある。オレはここにいて大丈夫かなと（苦笑い）。でも、人と違うことは好きですし、不安定な分必死になれますから」。
中津役のようにパンティーをかぶるポーズか、ピンクのナース姿を撮りたかったと言うと「この作品での受賞ですから、衣装持ってきてくださったら、アリでしたよ」。この懐の深さ。可能性は無限大だ。【瀬津真也】
◆生田斗真（いくた・とうま）１９８４年（昭５９）１０月７日、北海道生まれ。９６年ジャニーズ事務所入り。同年の「天才てれびくん」でデビュー。代表作は９７年朝の連続テレビ小説「あぐり」など。舞台でも活躍。ＣＭは今年のケンタッキーに出演。１７５センチ。血液型Ａ。

Horikita Maki wins Best Actress
Horikita Maki wins Actress in a Leading Role Award / Nikkan Drama Grand Prix
＜11th Nikkan Sport Drama Grand Prix Prize Winner Announcement＞
The 「11th Nikkan Sport Drama Grand Prix」 Actress in a Leading Role Award has been given to actress Horikita Maki (19) who played the role of a boyish high school boy. In Fuji TV's Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ～ Ikemen ♂ Paradise ～ she is surrounded by many good-looking men. Despite the pressure, she delivered a good performance. She was "enchanted" with her first boy role.
Horikita plays the role of Ashiya Mizuki, a young girl disguising herself as a boy and enrolling in a boys school. She is naturally feminine and yet she is dressed as a high school boy for most of the drama, leading her to win the prize. "I think to be recognized for doing my best in something that I believed in is meaningful. I'm happy for the effort from myself and also the support from other that I have received. I feel really blessed," she said with a smile.
The original work is a popular comic. "I have read it and thought the setting was interesting. For a girl, it's a drama that makes you tremble with excitement ne," she said, looking back on it. My next thought was "Would I be like a boy just by cutting my hair short ?" Feeling that anxiety, she wrestled with constructing her role.
The majority of the performers were boys, boys, boys. And besides, filled with ikemen. "Right at the beginning of the script, I was surrounded by everyone in class. In the middle of all the guys, I was the only girl. At that time I wondered 'Could I fit in here ?'" Besides being ikemen, all of them are of eligible age. Horikita is all alone there. However you think of it, it's perilous, it must have been difficult. "I was very self-conscious. But because of that I reminded myself that I should not build a wall up. Actually, I was very shy ne (*laugh*)."
While she played her role, as the story in the drama unfolds and as filming went on, they started to synchronize. "I myself started to resemble that boyish Horikita role as I became familiar with the mostly guys co-stars ne. As we went along, the shyness I felt at first totally disappeared and I became unconcerned."
Filming for the Hanazakari no Special is complete. She is also blessed with costars. The one Mizuki gives her heart to is Sano Izumi played by Oguri Shun (25). "Oguri-san was filming for the drama concurrently with his theater work. For me, just the drama really exhausts my energy, that concentration and energy is amazing." On Ikuta Toma (23) who had his break through the drama, "He is a really considerate person. He became my go-between to everyone."
Last summer saw Japan's temperature reaching 40.9 degrees Celsius 3 times successively, reaching such intense heat. "Filming in that heat with my chest tightened was difficult. I'll always think of last summer as something enchanting." Laughter, shedding tears and the heat. For the people who were watching, they were rewarded with an enchanting delight.

堀北真希に主演女優賞／日刊ドラマＧＰ
＜第１１回日刊スポーツ・ドラマグランプリ受賞者発表＞
「第１１回日刊スポーツ・ドラマグランプリ」の主演女優賞はボーイッシュな“男子高校生”を演じた女優堀北真希（１９）が獲得した。フジテレビ系「花ざかりの君たちへ～イケメン♂パラダイス～」で、たくさんのイケメンに囲まれ、プレッシャーを受けながらの好演。初の“男役”を「とろけそうな思い」で演じきった。
堀北が演じたのは男子校に男装して編入する少女・芦屋瑞稀。正体こそ女性だが、ドラマのほとんどを男子高校生の服装で演じきった末の受賞だ。「自分が本当にいいものになると信じて頑張ったものを認めてもらうことに意味があると思います。自分が発信したものが、支持をいただけてうれしい。幸せな気分です」と笑顔を見せた。
原作は人気コミック。「読んだことがあったので、設定が面白いなとは思っていました。女の子にとっては、ワクワクするドラマですよね」と振り返る。次に思ったのは「じゃあ、単に髪の毛を短く男の子みたいにすれば成り立つのかな」。そんな悩ましさを感じながら役作りに取り組んだ。
出演者の大多数が男、男、男。しかもイケメンぞろい。「最初の本読みのときクラスのみんなにワーッと取り囲まれた。男の集団の中で、自分だけ女が１人。ここに入っていけるのかなという感じでした」。イケメンに加え、しかも、全員が年ごろ。そこに堀北は１人ぼっち。どう考えても危険、大変だ。「すごく気をつかってくれました。だから逆に、自分で壁を作らないように心掛けました。本当は人見知りなんですけどね（笑い）」。
演じるうちに、ドラマのストーリーと、収録現場での流れがシンクロしたという。「私自身が男ばかりの共演者になじんでいくのと、瑞稀が男装して男っぽくなっていくのが似ていたんですよね。最初の恥ずかしい気持ちが、途中からは全然平気になっていました」。
「花ざかりの－」はスペシャル版が収録済み。共演者にも恵まれた。瑞稀が思いを寄せる佐野泉役は小栗旬（２５）。「小栗さんは舞台と並行して、このドラマを収録していました。私なんか、ドラマだけでエネルギー消耗しちゃうのに、あの集中力と粘りはすごい」。また、このドラマでブレークした生田斗馬（２３）には「すごく気をつかってくれる人なんです。私とみんなとの懸け橋になってくれました」。
昨夏は、日本の歴代最高気温４０・９度を観測するほどの酷暑だった。「暑い中の撮影で胸を締め付けるのが大変でした。去年の夏は本当にとろけそうな思いでした」。笑えて、泣けてそして熱い。見る人に、そんなとろけそうな喜びを与えてくれた。【小谷野俊哉】

Ikemens with their Poster
When they were promoting Hana Kimi last year, they put up posters covered with the ikemen stickers which then revealed the big poster. Clearing hard disk time, here are pictures of the boys unable to resist taking pictures with themselves. Yeah, collected even those (;^_^

Full Post »Classic Forever !
From Blogger to Wordpress and back. Isn't there an easy way to marry the simple control of html and the convenience of all those widgets ?
I was fiddling around with Blogger and I realized how lacking the Classic Template is but I'm loathe to upgrade because I've already customized this one to my liking. The problem is it's hard to locate older posts. First of all, clicking on a label will display only the latest 20 posts with no way to access the earlier ones. That's why my sidebar is growing longer and longer. In time, I'll get rid of the older stuff like Honey and Clover but I stored them in wordpress as archive anyway so they won't be lost inside here. Stuff like Hana Kimi and Hanadan are so precious to me I think I might leave them there a year, or two or a loooong time. Maybe I'll do the wordpress archive for them too eventually. I've done this for Yusuke and U-kun blogs from the beginning so I'll cut a few months off their entries from the sidebar too.
I'm trying out expandable posts because my own fingers are getting a workout from scrolling down the mouse （-_-； And then I realized it was impossible to place the Full Post » on top of the Label because the code for the Label isn't even in the template ＼(☆o◎)／ The Full Post will also appear on all the older posts when there's nothing more to read, so just ignore them. Anyway, I'll just give it a try and if it's more convenient I'll go with it. Full Post »

Old Flames and Flaming Red Hot Photos
Tamaki Hiroshi and Kato Rosa. There were rumours of them going out before he dated Hitomi Shimatani (also now over) but this is actually the first photo of them together I've seen. Looks like a really retro old-school shot.
Everyone's favourite fluent 'Oh shit' Sawajiri Erika and Matsuda Shota. No idea who Shota is dating these days.

クランクアップ
今日も一日お疲れ様でしたぁ(^-^)/今日はポップ屋の撮影とMyojoの撮影を終えて帰ってきましたぁ!!ポップ屋ではジャンプ〇〇中の執筆中みたいなお芝居をやる撮影だったんで、楽しんでまた違うキャラクターを演じてこれましたぁ!!実は昨日…４ヶ月間という長い撮影期間だったドラマ『パズル』のクランクアップの日でした!!パズルは主役の石原さとみちゃんと木村了君と永山絢斗君との４人でいつも一緒に撮影を頑張ってきたのでなんだか、終わったら涙が止まらなかったです。泣くなんて絶対にないって思ってたのでビックリしましたぁ!!でも、めちゃくちゃ体力的にも精神的にも頑張った作品だったのでやりきった感じで清々しいです!!明日からはまた、新しい活動がスタートするので気持ちを切り替えて頑張りたいです(^-^)/27th April 2008
Crank up
Today too thanks for everything (^-^)/ After filming for POP ya and Myojo ended, I went back home !! The way POP ya is written is similar to Jump, it's like filming for a drama. It's fun and I'm playing a different character !! Actually yesterday... was the day of crank up for drama Puzzle with its lengthy 4 months of filming !! The 4 of us, with Ishihara Satomi-chan as the lead and Kimura Ryo-kun and Nagayama Kento-kun, we were always doing our best during filming. Somehow when it ended, the tears wouldn't stop. I didn't think I'd cry like that, I was surprised !! But it was a production that sapped me physically and mentally so the feeling I had on completing it was refreshing !! Tomorrow is the start of new activities so I'll try my best to switch moods (^-^)/
