Mokomichi and Rosa in cellphone drama
2 June 2009
Hayami Mokomichi and Kato Rosa will be appearing in the cellphone drama 'Love Connector ~Love Constructor~' (begins 1st July), exclusive to mobile network BeeTV. The "Love Constructor" helps clients to be successful in love through various means, but the story is actually about making these clients believe in themselves and discovering their passion. Playing the role of the Love Constructor is Mokomichi while popular actress Rosa works in a pet shop. They have worked together in three drama productions before. As a result, the atmosphere during filming is relaxed and this has helped to hasten the process.

Minamisawa Nao and Mizobata Junpei; their thoughts on meeting by chance
[Cinema Today Movie News] Starring in the movie and drama series Akai Ito, Nao Minamisawa and Mizobata Junpei share their thoughts about fate encounters prior to the DVD release. The red thread that binds 2 people together as actors, Minamisawa and Mizobata, what are their fate encounters?
Akai Ito is the red thread that binds the fate of 2 people together... that's the romantic theme which everyone is familiar with, but it also includes serious topics. Minamisawa plays a role whose character parts from a close friend and experiences the death of another, which leaves her in an emotional turmoil. Due to circumstances at home, it was decided that she could not stay together with the person she likes, Atsushi, played by Mizobata. "Even if both parties were to get hurt, personally I would rather have a discussion because you never know, there could be other more favourable options. Playing this role, I had to cast those thoughts away," he said.
These type of fate encounters, have they experienced it? Minamisawa replied, "I think being talent scouted, and as a result being here right now in this (entertainment) world, was definitely a chance encounter." Mizobata echoes her thoughts, "I feel that destiny has led me to where I am now, being able to have this job. Given this opportunity, and being able to do what I do, I am very happy. I believe that fate gives rise to the situations surrounding us." Right now, with both of them focusing only on their work, it seems that meeting that fated someone will have to wait a little bit longer.
The cellphone novel had a total of 3.6 million hits before it was turned into a series of novels. The main crux of Akai Ito is the love story between two people bounded by fate. Set in a modern day high school, the drama depicts the realities of group dynamics. It is overwhelmingly popular among middle and high school students, and has led to breakthrough roles for the two leading actors. The pure character of the protagonist (Mei) makes you want to experience a destined encounter yourself.

Good morning
Today I got up at 6 for filming.
Breakfast was rusk and, as usual, vegetable juice.
Finally my eyes are opening up
You too, have a good day.
This has been Narimiya.
I have eaten rusk before, I didn't know they were called rusk.
The only thing that came to mind was Russ-K.

Full Post »Mizushima Hiro leads ikemen band in manga turned movie BECK
Actor Mizushima Hiro (25) will star in a movie based on Harold Sakuishi's popular manga BECK. Centered around the guitar prodigy, the movie focuses on the ups and downs of the 5-man rock band BECK. Playing the members are Sato Takeru (20), Kiritani Kenta (29), Nakamura Aoi (18) and Mukai Osamu (27).
Mizushima is currently playing an undependable detective in the TBS drama MR.BRAIN but this role sees him as Ryusuke Minami, a charismatic guitarist and leader of the band. His proficiency in English will prove useful for this role. Sato Takeru who played his brother in Fuji TV's Mei-chan no Shitsuji plays Tanaka Yukio (also known as Koyuki), who does vocals in addition to playing the guitar. Kiritani is the rapper Chiba Tsunemi, Nakamura the drummer Sakurai Yuji and Mukai the bassist Taira Yoshiyuki.
The original manga centers around Koyuki but the main character in the movie is Ryusuke. Mizushima started guitar practice from the 28th of last month. Filming begins in July.

水嶋ヒロがイケメンバンド結成！漫画「ＢＥＣＫ」映画化
俳優・水嶋ヒロ（２５）主演で人気漫画「ＢＥＣＫ」が映画化されることが１日、分かった。天才ギタリストを中心にした５人組ロックバンド・ＢＥＣＫの成長を描く。メンバー役に佐藤健（２０）、桐谷健太（２９）、中村蒼（１８）、向井理（２７）。バンドの演奏曲をオリジナルで３０曲制作するなど音楽に徹底的にこだわり、５人も担当楽器を特訓して撮影に臨む。堤幸彦監督（５３）のメガホンで来秋公開。
５人のイケメン俳優が最強バンドを結成する。漫画家ハロルド作石氏（４０）の「ＢＥＣＫ」は月刊少年マガジンで１９９９～２００８年に連載。ロックバンド・ＢＥＣＫの個性あふれるメンバーや挫折と成功のストーリーが人気になり、単行本３４巻の発行部数は１５００万部。０４～０５年にテレビ東京系でアニメ放送されたが、実写化は初めて。
ＴＢＳ系ドラマ「ＭＲ．ＢＲＡＩＮ」では頼りない刑事を演じている水嶋だが、今作ではカリスマ・ギタリスト兼リーダーの南竜介役。帰国子女で英語が堪能という役どころは水嶋と重なる。フジ系「メイちゃんの執事」で水嶋と兄弟役を演じた佐藤はボーカル兼ギターのコユキこと田中幸雄。桐谷はラップの千葉恒美、中村はドラムの桜井裕志、向井はベースの平義行を演じる。
原作はコユキを軸に描かれるが、映画の主人公は竜介。製作側は「青春映画、バンド映画の決定版を目指しており、竜介のもとに天才メンバーが集い成長していくストーリーになる」と説明した。
漫画では音で聴けなかったＢＥＣＫの演奏シーンが映画の見せ場のひとつ。劇中の演奏曲はバージョン違いも含めてオリジナルの３０曲を制作中。製作側は「音楽は日本映画の中でも一番のレベルを目指す」とこだわる。
水嶋は先月２８日からギターの練習をスタート。昨年１１月公開の映画「ＧＳワンダーランド」ではドラムを担当し「もともと音楽的な感覚は持っている」（製作側）。桐谷も来年公開予定の「ソラニン」でドラムを務めた。それぞれが約１か月、楽器を練習。クライマックスでは大規模なライブシーンが予定されている。撮影は７月上旬にスタートする。
◆映画「ＢＥＣＫ」 竜介（水嶋）は平凡な高校生コユキ（佐藤）と偶然出会う。千葉（桐谷）、平（向井）とバンドを組んだ竜介はコユキと桜井（中村）も誘いＢＥＣＫをスタート。コユキは天才的なボーカルの才能を開花させバンドもＣＤデビューするが、業界を牛耳るプロデューサーの陰謀に巻き込まれる。そんな中、バンド存続にかかわる条件と引き換えにロックフェスの出演依頼が来る。原作は第２６回講談社漫画賞の少年部門を受賞。ライブシーンなどのエキストラ募集要項を６日発売の月刊少年マガジンに掲載。

Rainy season?
Good evening! !
The weather hasn't been good lately ↓
Today too, it was raining in Tokyo!
Seems like it's the rainy season already? (;_;)
There's a tense atmosphere when filming BOSS, but I'm still enjoying it! Right now we're filming Episode 9. There are 2 episodes left, thinking about it makes me feel lonesome already (>_<)
The photo is again, of me holding a gun!!
There are very few parts where I carry a gun in the drama ↓
I really like those action scenes (*^o^*)
Why is he teary eyed??
And that gun looks like a water pistol ><

Promoting High School Musical The Movie
Mizobata Junpei, dressing up as a girl in high school and interested in make-up?
28 May 2009
Actor Mizobata Junpei (19) recorded the CM narration for Disney's "High School Musical The Movie" blue-ray DVD (on sale June 10, 4935 yen) and DVD (3360 yen) at a studio in the Metropolitan area on 28 May. The movie depicts the story about a group of high school students who are anticipating their imminent graduation.
Mizobata shared a memory from his high school days. "I really liked the culture festival. I danced wearing girl's clothes. Borrowing my (older) sister's bra and mini-skirt, I sang Kumi Koda's 'Butterfly'. I thought I was good, but children began leaving," he laughed. Recently, while on location filming BOSS, he asked Toda Erika who was putting on make-up "Is it fun?". "Yup it is~" was the reply. Now Mizobata has begun to practise curling his eyelashes.
On turning 20 on the 14th of next month, "I'll work hard and be dutiful to my parents. Being an adult = filial piety. That's what it means to me." It's his way of 'graduating' from being a child. The CM will air from 6 June onwards.
[If Veoh isn't working, Utube is under the full post. Gotta go the extra mile for Junpei, lol. Also
Did anyone film him in that bra and mini-skirt?! Lol...
