Moe~

"Aitakatta Aitakatta Aitakatta " Mao-san danced as she sang to AKB48's song .

For the scene where Mayu is a junior high student
We bought many magazines targeted to junior and high school students, and studied them
Among the poses in those magazines


Stylist-san's reaction to this photo
"Moe~ "

Junior high uniforms are popular too
The white socks are distinct

However, high school uniforms are definitely cute
There's a variety of patterns
That's what the director and Mao-san say!!

Thank you for the heart-warming comments everyone

Yamamoto Yusuke at 'Pacchigi!' Stage Greet




Yamamoto Yusuke (21) who is playing the lead role in stage play 'Pacchigi!' attended a stage greet event in Tokyo on 6th October. He was joined by Director Izutsu Kazuyuki and cast members Mikura Kana, Ishiguri Hideo, Yamazaki Ikusaburou and Asami Reina. 'Pacchigi!' was originally a movie released in 2005. Set in Kyoto in 1968, it depicts a high school romance between the protagonist Kosuke Matsuyama (Yamamoto Yusuke) and a Korean girl Kyung-ja (Mikura Kana) and touches upon the theme of the social problems between Japan and Korea.

Yamamoto commented,"Of course I'm happy but there's pressure too. I hope to channel that into strength. Pacchigi (in Korean) has the meaning of 'breaking down walls' so I hope to overcome this." The movie featured a lot of fighting and Izutsu promised that the fight scenes in the play be just as good.

"It's too bad I don't really participate in the fight scenes. But there are scenes of me singing as I play the guitar to look out for. I'm practicing. You know I'm hopeless at singing. I think I'll try masking that with feelings instead," said Yamamoto with a smile.

Izutsu was also asked questions about Erika Sawajiri who was the heroine in the movie version. "The way that girl has guts is something else. I'm that way too. There are many in the showbiz world against her. I hope she does not get discouraged by all the media and rumours. I'm rooting for her,"he said, cheering her on.

On playing her role, Mikura commented,"It's a role that won Sawajiri-san many awards so there's a lot of pressure but I'd like to play the role with my own interpretation."

'Pacchigi!' runs from 4th to 23rd December at the New National Theatre, Tokyo.

Club Activities

Mayu is in the Japanese archery club.

Before filming began, she took lessons with an instructor.

Strength was needed to pull the bow, it's more difficult than it seems!


Once during practice, Mao-chan's arm was bruised as the arrow grazed against her as it left the bow.


I took a photo everytime she drew the bow.
The video camera was on too.

After practice sessions, while sitting in the car, she would review the position of her arm with those photos.

The result is perfection, please observe (the archery scene in the movie) carefully!

There's a basketball scene as well





Everyone, what club activities are you in?

The Sign of Autumn

Yesterday
For a project
A sampling session


With Mos Burger

After that,
drama rehearsal

It ended quite early
With the cast members
I went to eat ramen

A cast member
Is a regular customer of this ramen shop

Though it's already autumn
Why is it still so warm everyday?

The other day
I saw this at filming location

A sign of autumn


Cluster amaryllis

In flower language, "Till the day we meet again"
That's what they say

Seems like a lonesome flower

By the way, cluster amaryllis is poisonous

So children should stay away from it

What kind of autumn will it be for everyone?

Well then

This has been Narimiya.



28th September 2009 21:12
Betrayal

There's an event covering for today

The ban has been lifted
Announcement of "Streaming News Flash"


My role
A TV station's part-time assistant director


There are many secrets in the drama
I don't think I can reveal much about my role [laugh]

There's no pre-established harmony
Leading up to the underplot

Up till now, I've never worked under this style

"Betrayal" is the one word
That the producer will use
To describe this drama

Then

In the next half of the day
Photography for Smart and Q-Pot


It's been a while since I got all dressed up
The atmosphere is unlike of that in the drama
Experienced them both in one day

Well then

This has been Narimiya.

Kagami Seira hints at relationship with Yamapi

Kagami Seira's smile proof of her happy relationship with Yamapi?
1st October 2009


Model Kagami Seira (22) attended a PR event for 3D horror movie 'Final Destination 3D' in Tokyo on 1st October. Organizers were tense as reporters aggressively questioned her on her relationship with Yamashita Tomohisa (24) from NEWS after a weekly magazine published photos of their izakaya date in Yurakuchou Gadoshita last month. She just smiled through their questioning and was asked,"Is that smile proof of a happy relationship?" to which she replied "Sou desu ne." (Which can be pretty ambiguous, but it sounds like she's in agreement to what they asked.)

Another reporter asked,"Aren't you going to watch the movie with that guy from NEWS?" Seeming to know his personality well, she replied laughing,"Ah~ that one's unreliable (when it comes to horror movies) I think~".

Final Destination 3D opens 17 October.
