On Location for 'Juui Dolittle'


24th September 2010

I was on location for the filming of 'Juui Dolittle'.

Because filming takes place outdoors, the sense of it being a drama is quite ambiguous. The feeling is different from when we film in the studio...
Sometimes it seems like the world of drama or movies exist in the real world.
If you imagine characters from a certain drama / movie to be real it can be exciting right?

The characters from 'Juui Dolittle' are very likable☆
There are cute animals every week, I think you'll look forward to them!



I've yet to begin filming
Whatever encounters I will have, I'm anticipating and waiting for how the storyline will be like.

I'll update with reports as soon as I can♪
Look forward to 'Juui Dolittle' which starts airing 17th October on TBS♪

Tabe Mikako (21) and Miura Haruma (20) attended the opening day stage greetings for movie 'Kimi ni Todoke' on the 25th at TOHO Cinemas in Roppongi Hills.

"I'm thankful for everything," said Tabe. "I won't forget this feeling of gratitude even after it ends," Miura commented. Also in attendance were Renbutsu Misako, Kiritani Mirei, Natsuna and Aoyama Haru.

Juui Dolittle
Vol. 2 Report


Filming with the Dogs~♪

Continuing from the previous entry, a report of Dolittle filming!!

Filming for the last scene of Episode 1 took place in the morning.
It was a scene of taking a stroll with many dogs...

With so many dogs, it was difficult to hear what anyone was saying.

In the drama, Asuka is supposed pull the dogs, but the energetic dogs pulled Mao instead!

The staff use bait to attract the dogs to walk straight... that's the technique used during filming.


At the sight of a dish, the dogs are motivated!!

"Whatever the animal, I like them all!!" said Mao. Even when she wasn't filming, she was close to the dogs. When they were tiring out due to the heat, she gently told them, "Just for a little while more, do your best."



Oguri too, takes the dogs for a walk when there's no filming...
Most of the cast filming Dolittle love animals☆


Taking a walk~☆

Besides dogs, there'll be a cat, a horse, a monkey and other animals in the drama!!

Wonderful guests will also appear as pet owners!!
Among them will be Wakamura Mayumi, Nishimura Masahiko, Konno Mahiru, Izawa Masaki, Masuda Takahisa of NEWS, Kanie Keizo and Ohashi Nozomi... and Matsumoto Jun of Arashi.

They'll be making appearances one after another!

The animal paired with Masuda is cute!

Hanabishi Sensei will finally make his appearance in the next report!!
Look forward to it~~☆

Mizushima Hiro denies reports he is retiring from the entertainment world



Mezamashi TV's Tokudane segment contacted Mizushima Hiro asking him about leaving talent agency Ken-on, retiring from showbiz and becoming a writer. "I'm bewildered by the inaccuracy of the reports," he commented.

According to Mezamashi TV, Mizushima stated that reports citing that Ayaka is still attached to Ken-on is not true and that she had left Ken-on after her performance at the Kouhaku last year. Furthermore, they are starting up a company to manage Ayaka's music and Mizushima is not stopping acting work.

Information given out by Ken-on and other reports
- Ayaka is just taking a break, she is still with Ken-on.
- Mizushima Hiro is no longer interested in being an actor, he wants to concentrate on writing.
- Ayaka and Mizushima Hiro are setting up a company to manage their work.

Mizushima Hiro's comments
- Ayaka left Ken-on after her Kouhaku performance last year.
- Mizushima Hiro will continue with creative works and that includes acting.
- Ayaka and Mizushima Hiro are not setting up a company to manage their work. The company will be set up only to manage Ayaka's music.
- The two of them will do their best without being attached to a talent agency.

(24th September) Edit : Multiple news reports are citing that the clarification came from an email exchange with Tokudane's Ogura Tomoaki. Mainichi, Sports Hochi and Asahi reported that the email exchange was with Ayaka while Daily Sports Online reported that it was with Hiro.

Did anyone catch Tokudane? If it's true, it has begun. Without management, he didn't even get to air his side of the story against Ken-on's official statement. But the romance! Through thick and thin together (*^^)^*)

Why did Mizushima Hiro quit?



The sudden resignation of Mizushima Hiro from Ken-on has left fans in shock. Why did he leave his agency without prior notice to the fans who had supported him all this time? Was he made to leave or did he come to the decision on his own? Inquiries made to Ken-on were not replied as the staff in charge was supposedly absent. So we turn to entertainment reporters to get some answers.

"We're told that it was Mizushima's own decision to leave. The reason given was that he had an interest in writing novels and such from a while ago and he wants to concentrate on that now. But it's not rare for people in the entertainment industry to write books while continuing their work. Gekidan Hitori, comedians Shinagawa Shoji and Chihara Junior are busy with work and they still write. So in the case of Mizushima Hiro, it's just a case of Ken-on giving him the boot. This reason is just an excuse so that he will not join another talent agency for a fixed period of time. Actually Mizushima himself does not have much interest in being an actor, he does not want to make his living in the entertainment world. A graduate of Keio University and an intelligent man, he probably doesn't want to live in the unstable world of show business and will look for other means of making a living." (Entertainment reporter)

The cause of the dismissal is probably his marriage last year to singer Ayaka, also from Ken-on. After about half a year of dating, they married without informing the agency. That undoubtedly angered the management and it's not hard to imagine that the relationship between the agency and him has changed.

On the other hand, there are many talent agencies that would be willing to take Mizushima in.

"There are many people who think Mizushima Hiro can still grow as an actor. Maybe many fans from his Kamen Rider days are turned off by his marriage but demand for him as an ikemen actor is still strong. It's not an impossibility that his former agency might put up some form of hindrance if he joins another agency but Matsushita Nao who got her big break in Gegege no Nyobo (NHK) was also formerly from Ken-on. Under another major talent agency now, she has managed to continue work without problems. A strong possibility is Avex, which is fortifying its roster of actors. I mean Avex even took in Sawajiri Erika, so it must be a pretty open-minded company. Anyway at the moment, what is on the agenda seems to be just Mizushima and Ayaka spending their days together as a married couple without any outsiders. They seem like they're really close. I'm sure he had discussed this with Ayaka in detail." (Sports paper editor)

It will be a waste for Mizushima to retire when his days as an actor is just beginning but we all hope for the best in the couple's future.

Q10.

Day 1 on the set.

I thought many shots have been taken but Episode One isn't complete yet.

Filming for a drama is not easy.

But I'm glad that everyone from the cast and staff are great.

I'd like to get along with everyone.

Yosh. I've decided.

To be friends with everyone.

Take photos together and introduce them through this blog.
