The Best...

Good evening, 'MU' here.

To those who feel that there's something missing in their heart,

please take a look...

This precious gem that will make you laugh to tears...

It's now known as 'BOSS for Eternity'...

Doesn't it look like a family portrait?

Amami-san and Takenouchi-san are the parents, while those standing behind are the children...

This was taken a while back to shoot for the cover of Oricon Style (Issue 22/6).

Everyone from the cast to staff members had a good laugh during the photoshoot.



HAHAHAHAH... Damn I burst into laughter when I saw that pic!!
Below, the real magazine cover~

Mistaken identity!

Good evening! !

I took a walk through town as there was some free time after work today (^_^)v

Then 2 ladies about the same age as me asked "You're Okada Masaki-san right?" !!

I said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

I don't think we have any resemblance ne (^_^)v

Everyone, my name is Mizobata Junpei.

Those who know, know! Those who are unfamiliar with it, remember ne ↑ [laugh] (>_<)




What an insult to Junpei lol~
Don't be mistaken... the one on the left is Junpei, on the right Yusuke (>_<)

Curry Shop
2nd July 2009 15:19

The other day we went to Kanda to film 'Kareinaru Spy'!
After finishing one scene in the morning, there was free time so we went to eat curry!!
Mao-san was introduced to 'Loup de mer' by a television program sometime back.
She had wanted to go there after her graduation ceremony as well but had to give it up because it was full...
There was a short queue today too but she finally got to eat there!!
Mao-san chose the spiciest chicken curry in the menu♪
The delicate spices worked well, it was really delicious~!
I think I'll definitely want to eat there again☆

After that, we still had a little more time, so we headed to a cafe Mao-san knows...

Mao-san is bad at remembering routes and things like that. The other day in the car, as we were nearing our filming location in Ginza,
"Eh? Where is our filming location again today~? I thought we are going to the same place as yesterday (*laugh*)."
By the way, the place we went to the day before that was Wangan Narashino...
I think there's quite a difference in both the distance and the streets (*laugh*)
As I drove, I burst out laughing too!

There's a little filming left to do!
Everyone, please look forward to 18 July (Saturday) ne♪

PS
Have you seen the 'Shonen Magazine' that went on sale yesterday??
When I saw the magazine, I got swept back with memories of Hawaii (*laugh*)
Which reminds me, when Mao-san and I were clinging to the board, I was close to drowning and yet Mao-san was howling with laughter till her tummy hurt...
Next time again, yoroshiku onegai shimasu!!
Manga Shonen-san (*laugh*)

カレー屋 

2009年07月02日 15:19

先日、『華麗なるスパイ』の撮影で神田へ行きました!
朝、1シーンを撮り終えると空き時間が出来たので、カレーを食べに行きました!!
以前、真央さんがテレビ番組で紹介したこともある『神田ルー・ド・メール』。
真央さんは、大学卒業式の後にも行こうとしたのですが、お店が満席だったので断念…。
今日も少し並んで、ようやく食べることができました!!
真央さんはメニューの中でも1番辛いチキンカレーをチョイス♪
ほのかにスパイスが効いていて、本当においしかった~!
また是非食べに行きたいと思います☆

その後、まだ少し時間があったので、真央さんの知っているカフェへ…。

真央さんは道とかを覚えるのが苦手のようで、
先日も車でロケ場所の銀座に向かっていて、もう到着間近な時に
「あれ? 今日のロケ場所どこだっけ~? 昨日と同じ場所に向かってると思ってた(笑)」
ちなみにその日の前日に行っていたのは、湾岸習志野…。
距離も町並みもかなり違うと思いますが(笑)。
運転しながら私も大笑いしてしまいました!

あと少し撮影が残っています!
皆さん、7月18日(土)を楽しみにしていてくださいね♪

P・S
昨日発売された『少年マガジン』は見ていただけましたか??
私はマガジンを見て、ハワイの思い出に浸ってしまいました(笑)。
そういえば、真央さんと二人でボードにしがみついていた時、私が溺れそうになっているのに
真央さんは、お腹が痛くなるほど大爆笑してたなぁ…。
また是非よろしくお願いします!!
少年マガジンさん(笑)。

これから海で遊ぼうとしている真央さんと

Waiting!

Good evening! !

I'm now in the dressing room waiting for my turn to film Buzzer Beat!

With the free time I try to be a pro cameraman, trying out photo taking with a wind effect (*^o^*)

With expression too↑



His blog will only be accessible to paid subscribers from 10 July onwards.
I guess that's how his company repays his fans - by making them PAY to read his blog.
Way to go, Evergreen!

Inoue Mao Staff Diary
30th June 2009



Party
30th June 2009 23:56

A few days ago, the first preview of 'Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu' was held!

The moment the movie started, I started weeping...
Cried from the beginning to the end.
Nearing the end of the film, Mao-san who was sitting next to me said,"You're crying too much... (*laugh*)"
That's how much it got to me...

When "Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru", the theme song that Hirai Ken-san wrote specifically for this film came on, Mao-san said she felt goosebumps too.



A photo of Mao-san and Kumada Sea-chan (7 years old) taken between takes.
Kumada-chan plays Mayu as a child and besides being cute, she is also very well-mannered and is skilled in acting too!!
There was a party for "Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu" yesterday.
Okada-san could not attend because of work commitments but Mao-san had fun chatting with the cast and staff members because she had not met them for a while.

In the midst of that, the drawing of lots for the lucky draw began and the room began to buzz with excitement!
The gift from Mao-san was a pair of tickets for a stay at an exclusive Japanese inn in Goura (the room comes with an open-air bath)!!
Mao-san drew a lot and...








...wh, what!!

I struck lottery (><)

The moment Mao-san picked out the number, she too said,
"Somehow it feels like I've heard of this number somewhere~ that's what I thought ne!"
to great laughter ♪

My apologies for feeling like he really cannot read the atmosphere but the President told me,
"With a guy, no way but you could go with Mao." (*laugh*)

Finally, Mao-san addressed everyone and with Director Shinjou wrapping things up, the party came to an end!!



Beginning with the help of this work's original author Aoki Kotomi-sensei, Director Shinjou, the cast, staff members and Hirai Ken-san, a truly beautiful film has been completed.
Thank you very much.

Please look forward to the opening on 24th October!!
Be sure not to forget your handkerchief♪

Whew~ Mao's new manager sure likes to write. As the sentences get longer, I get less sure about the accuracy so feel free to point anything out. Translation style-wise, I'm trying to strike a balance between literal translations and complete re-phrasing. Of course over that, sometimes I'm scratching my head wondering if the meaning is even what I think it is \(〇_o)/

打ち上げ 
2009年06月30日 23:56

先日、「僕の初恋をキミに捧ぐ」の初号試写会がありました!

私は映画が始まってすぐに大号泣。。。
最初から最後まで泣いてしまいました。
作品の終盤で、隣に座っていた真央さんに 「泣きすぎだから…(笑)」
とつっこまれてしまうほど…。

平井堅さんがこの作品のために作ってくださった主題歌「僕は君に恋をする」が流れた時には、
真央さんも鳥肌がたったと話していました。

撮影の合間に撮った真央さんと熊田聖亜ちゃん(7歳)。
繭の子供時代で出演している聖亜ちゃんは、可愛い上にとても礼儀正しくて
お芝居もすごく上手でした!!

そして昨日は「僕の初恋をキミに捧ぐ」の打ち上げがありました。
お仕事の都合で岡田さんは参加できなかったんですが、キャストやスタッフの皆さんと
お会いするのが久し振りだったので、真央さんも楽しくお話していました。

そんな中、打ち上げのくじ引き抽選会が始まり会場は大盛り上がり!
真央さんからの景品は、強羅の高級旅館ペア宿泊券(なんとお部屋に露天風呂付)!!
真央さんがくじをひくと…











…な、なんとっっ!

私が当たってしまったんですー(><)

真央さんも番号をひいた瞬間
「何かどこかで聞いた番号だったな~と思ったんだよねぇ!」
と大爆笑♪

本当に空気が読めない感じで申し訳なかったのですが、社長からは、
「男と行くのは無理だけど、真央と行ってきたら」と言われました(笑)。

最後は、真央さんが皆さんに御挨拶をして、新城監督の1本締めで打ち上げ終了!!

この作品の生みの親である青木琴美先生をはじめ、新城監督、キャスト、スタッフの皆さん、
平井堅さんのお陰で、本当に本当に素敵な作品が出来上がりました。
ありがとうございました。

10月24日の公開を楽しみにしていてください!!
くれぐれもハンカチを忘れずに♪

Filming 'Dandy Daddy?'!!

Even for a comedy, tension is building up for Nao.
Here she is fooling around during the break.

She took a photo with a dolphin on location.
It's hard to see because of the dark photo, but they're looking at each other!!



Yay a comedy!
