Mizushima Hiro in a kimono

Mizushima, who is usually clad in denim and other modern apparel, said of his appearance,"I don't get to wear this often, it's refreshing. I feel my body straightening up in this." Asked about a role he'd like try next he said smiling,"Wearing the kimono, I now feel an interest in historical dramas."

The comic essay by Oguri Saori-sensei 'Darling wa Gaikokujin' is being made into a movie.

Just as the name says, her darling is a foreigner and Mao-san is an aspiring manga illustrator.

★Message from Mao-san★
"Everyone! My next darling is a foreigner! (*laugh*)
The laughs never stop at the relaxed filming location, we enjoy filming everyday♪
Jonathan who plays the role of Tony is great(^^)
I want to play Saori just like in the original work, cute and always working very hard!
Everyone, please look forward to it ne!"
In the relentless summer heat we've been having recently, she's diligently filming every day!!
I'll post behind the scenes stories from the filming location next time so look forward to it!!

2nd day of filming
23rd August 2009
Today we filmed an evening scene.
A scene using props.
It looks easy but when I gave it a try it went quite badly...
We had to do so many retakes, I felt so miserable making all the staff members wait...
Without thinking I said "Sorry..." and the director said,"No need to apologize!"
There are many, many things I have to learn.
Tonight I will get a good rest, switch modes and work hard tomorrow too!

Shiseido's spray styling agent 'uno fog bar' new CM product launch was attended by its promotion models - Tsumabuki Satoshi, Oguri Shun, Eita and Miura Haruma. Filming was done in London, and the four of them got along well together. "The mood was like we were on a trip, it didn't feel like it was 'work'", Eita said. Oguri and Miura looked up to Tsumabuki like an older brother. "When I'm the shortest one?" Tsumabuki replied, which made the others laugh.

Mizobata Junpei in Yosakoi dance!
Movie to be filmed in Kouchi, where the dance originated from
27 August 2009
Japan's biggest summer festival, the Yosakoi Festival which originated from the Kouchi Prefecture, is the stage for an emotionally charged movie. Current popular young actor, Mizobata Junpei will play the lead in "Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu" (The Summer You Danced).
Mizobata-san's character, Shinpei, moves from Kouchi to Tokyo to be a professional photographer. 5 years later, fatigued by life in Tokyo, he returns to his hometown. He meets his ex-girlfriend, Kaori. They had once made a promise to move to Tokyo together. For the sake of her sister (Sakura), Kaori wants to grant her a dying wish. That wish was for Shinpei and Kaori to be in the legendary team of Yosakoi dance once again, "Ichimujin". Shinpei understands Kaori's feelings, and decides to participate in the Yosakoi dance, but...
Playing the role of the heroine Kaori is Kinami Haruka, an upcoming actress who was also in 20th Century Boys. Her character struggles to fulfill the wish of Sakura (Ayane Omori) who suffers from an incurable disease.
For 3 days from the 8th to 10th August, filming had begun during the real Yosakoi Festival. Mizobata-san who was there to observe the festival, "Everyone's enthusiasm is overwhelming, it's more than what I had imagined. It's a good feeling, protecting tradition... What surprised me the most was that even under the blazing sun, everyone was dancing with a smile. I will work hard to deliver a good movie which will display Kouchi's tradition."
Filming will be from end of September till November. Tentative release is autumn of 2010. 3/4 of filming is planned to be in Kouchi, filming in the city area is slated to be in October. A repeat of the Yosakoi Festival has been arranged.
Yet another disease storyline?!
The plot is so weak, I don't think I even wanna watch it ><

First experience of purification
21st August 2009
Hello!
I'm Jonathan Sherr.
I'm playing the role of Tony in the movie 'Darling wa Gaikokujin'. Accordingly, I'm writing a blog! I'd be happy if I can share my experience with everyone. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Finally, tomorrow's crank-in!! Today to pray for safety during filming and success of the movie, I took part in a purification ceremony. (In Japan, people pray at the shrine for important intentions. Interesting.)
With many of the staff members kneeling in the shrine, the prayers started. Kneeling beside Inoue Mao-chan, my name was called and we prayed. Bowed twice, clapped twice, bowed once. This was my first experience. Refreshing! I felt motivated!
From now on, I will experience different things and they will be fresh and valuable ones for me. I feel really excited.
(May this be a good production!)
I pray for it! And with all my might, I'll do my best!!
Crank in!
21st August 2009
Today was the first day of filming!
When I got on location, starting with Inoue Mao-san, the one who plays Tony's partner Saori, I was surrounded by many staff members and all the different people involved. I was so nervous.
And some girls who were sightseeing said they wanted my autograph, I was shocked!! "From me~?" I thought as I signed autographs. Felt a little embarrassed...
Things moved fast on location and it feels like a first day that ended after a lot of effort.
But the staff members supported me with their kindness! Thank you very much!!
This feeling, without forgetting how I feel from the beginning, I'll do my best till the end~!!
Oh yeah, today there was a chiffon cake used for a cafe scene. After filming, I ate it, it was really delicious.
But it seems Mao-chan doesn't really like sweet things...
Well I have a sweet tooth, so I took Mao-chan's share as well. Thanks for the treat!

Oguri Shun x Mizushima Hiro in new Getsu 9 drama
The drama is tentatively titled Tokyo DOGS~ Saiaku de Saikou no Partner~. (The Worst and Best of Partners). Oguri Shun's first appearance in a Getsu 9 drama (Fuji TV, Mondays at 9) sees him playing the role of an elite detective of NY police. Mizushima Hiro is an officer from the Special Investigations Unit of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Yoshitaka Yuriko is a mysterious woman who holds the key to their case. The new Getsu 9 will be a perfect balance of serious moments and comedy.
When he was in elementary school, Takakura Sou (Oguri Shun, unsure of name reading) saw his father killed right in front of his eyes. Since then, he has been haunted by his past and moved to NY as a detective with the determination of one day arresting his father's murderer. He is well-skilled in military training but shows lack of flexibility. When it comes to work, he is calm and disciplined. By nature, he is a kind and gentlemanly character.
On the other hand, Kudo Maruo (Mizushima Hiro, ditto with name reading) rose from delinquency and is an expert in all forms of martial art such as karate, judo and taekwondo. Hotblooded and passionate, his interest is goukon (group dates). Their characters, investigations methods and taste in women are completely different. How this unlikely pair met, was through a case one day...
The stage is NY. Takakura found himself caught up in a big narcotic syndicate while pursuing his father's killer. The elite detective is put in charge of the operation, with close to 100 people under his command. Kudo Maruo is one of those who came to assist from Japan. At the place where the incident took place, a single woman, Matsunaga Yuki (Yoshitaka Yuriko) who knows the root of the case is left behind... However, due to extreme shock, she has lost her memory. Takakura continues his investigation in Japan, working together with Kudo and with Yuki close by. As her memory returns, the painful past returns and strains the relationship among the three of them. On the one hand, there is the 'detective side' that must continue investigating the case. On the other hand, there are the different viewpoints and also emotions coming into play...
Cast comments
Oguri Shun
With such wonderful co-stars, I'm feeling excited before we have even started. With these members, sometimes understanding each other, something clashing, I want to make an interesting work for everyone.
Mizushima Hiro
This is my first appearance in a Getsu 9 and I look forward to showing a different side of myself again. Together with the effort of the staff and cast, I want to create a police drama never seen before.

Hello
Right now I'm filming for a movie

How did you spend your O-Bon vacation?
I went twice to the beach and once to the swimming pool
I went quickly after work ended
Being at the beach from evening onwards
Drinking iced beer while watching the sunset
I really love it
Now my bum is covered with sand
A script or a lip and the sand is...
Someone's cleaning it~...
I found something interesting in the toilet

It's a hot set during filming
As soon as I reach home I'll take a bath

But there's still a while to go for the Otomen filming, so there will be some difficult days ahead (￣▽￣)
