I have been rewatching parts of NatsuNiji because I miss J being in a solo work (more than 2 years and counting) and also because this morning there were some caps from Hana Yori Dango Final (the scene at the beach in the island -where he appears as the most beautiful creature on Earth- and the wedding -that amazing kiss-) around twitter and that probably triggered the need to see J in something romantic.

NatsuNiji was the first Matsujun's drama I saw in real time, no in Japan but as it was airing I was following it and watching. I had already watched several J dramas by then which I consider/ed fav of mine, but I NatsuNiji is very special to me and I am not sure I can't explain all the reasons.

I think it is an underrated drama. I love Taiga so much. He is such a lovely character and Jun kun does such an amazing job with it!!! He also looks incredibly beautiful!

Today I recalled too how much I loved the opening credits. It seems like I haven't seen cool opening credits lately (truth is that I haven't been watching dramas, so that may be it).

Considering what I recall from the love scenes in Chocolatier, the super amazingly perfect kiss at the end of Hanadan Final and the awesome kisses/couple scenes in NatsuNiji (and Kimi wa petto, etc) make me firm in the idea that Matsujun is perfect for romance dramas. He does an amazing job in all of them... you believe his character is in love... you can see the struggle if there is one... and the most important thing, when he gets together with the girl/woman you believe his happiness, you can see in his face that he is the happiest man alive and that he will make her feel beloved and cherished. At least I see it this way.

In NatsuNiji episode 8, when they are at the top of the building and Shiori finally admits she likes him... Taiga doesn't know what to do with himself and when she doesn't want to hug and they end holding fingers you still can see it there, the love!! and when Taiga kisses her, first on the lips and later on the forehead you can see the tenderness... and how he hugs her... I just melt watching it.

I remember myself asking for him to do something different from a romance and I am happy he did Lucky Seven and such, but at the end of the day, I think I love Matsujun the most at what he excels at (apart from producing awesome Arashi concerts) and that is doing a romantic drama/movie.

I remember also how much I cried watching Hidamari no Kanojo. Such cute movie. Such cute character Matsujun created...

I usually have a problem watching romantic jdramas because the kisses scenes are such a disappointment (if there is any!)... and I do consider Kimutaku another one that does amazing kisses on screen (if you don't believe me check 2046 movie to start with), but if I had to choose one jdrama kiss to be the number one of my jdrama/jmovie kisses that would be Hanadan Final wedding kiss... The way he holds Makino, the way he kisses her, that hand holding her face, his radiant smile while looking at her with adoration and happiness... It clicks every button for me!!! (and have in mind that Hanadan Final is not my fav in the saga, I prefer series 1).

Having that in mind... If the rumor of him having a drama on TBS in spring is true, a part of me wants it to be a romance, a nice one with a nice actress (I still have my doubts about Ohno's just announced heroine). However, having in mind that Ohno has a romance, I doubt J will have one if the rumor is true. If a romance can't be, I hope he does a part he really really wants to do.

Whatever he decides to do he still is my king of romance.

Haven't watched VSA properly, will do now... but just after watching the pics from weibo I can do so flailing...


because Jun looks just too cute with his new hair cut and he did awesome in Pinball runner... and he was so handsome and ashdfalkshdfkashfkashfdlkasdhflaksdhf, yes! He did!

And they were cute at the beginning with no Aiba (based on caps, haven't seen it!) and Aiba was just to cute in some moments like in the bowling part

And Sho looks really idol-less due to this normal-looking eyebrows but he looks just too cute and too hug-able and have such a need to go and pat him...

And I don't know how I feel about also sharing b-day with that girl from Last Hope and Yama Taro... Truth be told, I liked her in Yama Taro, more or less and she seems fine sometimes, but some others... :S She goes into that category of Japanese actresses that I feel a bit blah about (i.e. Horikita Maki)


Also... I am so deeply in love with Tokei Jikake no Umbrella choreo... To talk about Arafes sounds like old news but for me, apart from, Happiness and Shake it!, Gimmick Game, Love Situation and Face Down performance, my absolutely favorite parts are (of course) DJxMJ + La Tormenta + Tokei! Maybe it is every single second of the DJxMJ -Masaki.com and Magical Song are just <3<3<3<3<3-, maybe it's related to those hot outfits (especially Jun's), maybe is the sakumoto moment at the beginning of La Tormenta, or maybe how hot and focused they look during the Tokei dance. And knowing Ohno's created it... make my heart doki doki (I can't recall Superfresh's too well, but although I liked that one too, I prefer Tokei's more!

Btw, which other choreos did Ohno create? I know I read it somewhere but didn't keep the link or write them down *headdesk*

Oh! and Breathless confirmed as Platina Data's theme! I am so curious about it!! When will we get a sneak preview of it? or of Calling's PV? I am not picky! But, NOW!!! *waiting impatiently*

I so wanted to edit this pic a little... Think of it as the starter...

( more )

The day started being a so-so one but news about the boys and some other stuff made it better.

I read those rumours about Nino's movie... Let me take it with a grain of salt. I really wish it's true since it sounds so interesting and promising... but remember the rumour about his solo in BW being 'Erotic Night'? That makes me doubt it now that it has the s*x word in the title lol!

I've seen Lucky 7 poster and I love it!!!! (and Koyama is also in the drama?!) And I love even more than the main theme is going to be sung by Arashi... Now my question is... when will we know about the title or the released? and even more important? Will it be released at the same time or close to the BW kokuritsu concert DVD? This waiting is killing me...

All that info got it in tumblr, btw, can't remember the origin of them, but they are among the blogs I follow there.

This morning I made a quick post that I deleted because short after I found the answer of what I was asking...

The thing is that a-m-n-o-s, one of the people I follow at tumblr posted a tiny tiny gif from the kissing scene at the wedding in Hanadan FInal that was really lovely and that was different from the official one (Domyouji nibbling Makino's neck anyone?!) So after wondering what it was I realized that it may be in the extras and it was. Actually, it was in the Making of, but to my surprise and dismay the scene was shown through one of those filming viewers the filming crew and director have that allow them to check the stuff filmed... And it was totally askew... I wondered if I still could get a cool gif out of it... and well I am not an expert in PS but well, I think the result may be okay...



( a bigger one right here )

Now I have a couple of questions related to Hanadan: I am looking for Hanadan 1 and Hanadan Returns extras. I do know that at least Hanadan Returns has extras, but the community that subbed them closed membership like forever or something... I don't need them subbed actually, I just want to watch them, not just the Hanadan Returns ones, but also the Hanadan 1 if there are...

And I have also seen people asking for raws of Hanadan (all of it). I second that, since I really would love to have raws. My dream is owning the Region 2 dvd sets but I don't have around $500 to buy both seasons right now...

I know it is kind of useless to mention this, but some credit if you use the gif, would be nice. And don't hotlink please!

I was playing with PS and Jun's Ray pics when I was told about the news of his new drama!!!!! So awesome news that I spent a lot of time since then, squeeing and screaming in total fangirl mood. Jun as a detective = ginger's dream come true! (I am not complaining about his last roles at all!) Winter dramas won't start fast enough! The waiting is going to kill me... So at the end this post it serves as a celebratory one for those great news!!! *happy dance*

Anyway, I think Jun's Ray photoshoot is quite good, having in mind how I was a little disappointed with, for example, his An An...

Okay, here is the result of me playing with PS an my two fav pics from said photoshoot:

I was checking my scans for sakumoto pics/moments because I've been wanting to make a sakumoto pics post for a long time now... and I don't really know why/how I ended up putting them together (if the pics were fine enough to do so)...

So this is a post of sakumoto pics (some of them have been just cut to have them just the two of them, and some others are my doing... The results vary in quality (and satisfaction on my part) but in general, I like them and above all, I've had fun playing with the pics... Creating manips is kind of a challenge, hoping they look good and believable... ;)

( hope you enjoy the view )

I've been wanting to get my hands on this magazine for a long time and finally it's mine!! So here it is for you to enjoy it too.



( so beautiful it hurts )

**I've seen the pics for Jun's latest +Act and I'm a bit disappointed... too much flash right to his face maybe? The boxer gloves are a plus but there are too much clothing and too many pics with the hood on, and it's nothing like the promotional pic for the butai *sigh*. The stylish/photographer didn't do too well, imo... and Jun looks a bit sad there... So, after that, I think I'll just enjoy this one (until my copy arrives and I can judge it properly).

The post will be locked in some days.

Thanks to yamakaze067 who in her update for today put the link to HERE (from where I took the pic, btw)

Just in case, it's a pic for Jun's new butai. I'm still at awe and I saw it early this morning ^^ OMG! I need a pamphlet from this butai like breathing!

ETA: Found a bigger version of just Jun's part at dreamlights' trumblr HERE. (hot, hot, hot!!)

In some way it would be just right if Matsujun starred in the Japanese version of City Hunter, as Lee Min Ho was Jun's part in the Korean version of Hanadan... Wouldn't it be funny (apart from hot!)

I have a thing for Lee Min Ho... I mean I find him pretty hot but especially if he plays dramatic/action roles... *fans herself* City Hunter is delicious just for that and for what an incredibly romantic, at the same time that doomed, hero is... Also the female lead is pretty great and both are so in love it hurts!

Apart from that I thought: Lee Min Ho + secret service + Matsujun = possible ideas for my AU fics... lol!

Also I don't know why, but when I'm watching this drama Arashi's Always comes to my mind and vice versa...

Well, let's take a look at our City Hunter hero:


He can be a dork with a lot of charm...


Or be pretty stoic and dramatic and extremely hot

I get distracted a little bit, not even a day, and I almost missed these news!!!!! Jun in a butai! Yay because OMG!!! as a boxer!!!! but I'm depressed because there won't be way of me watching that live *cough* matsujun's fans, help! *cough*

Now I understand those impressive, sexy arms he has right now (Music Station anyone?) OMG! This is so amazingly good! I have no words! I would be jumping up and down (maybe I am and you can't see it lol!) of happiness! *eeeeehhhh squeeeeee*

I seeing myself buying all kind of goodies... if there is a pamphlet for this, I do want it!! plus even papa pics!! Because come on, those are a must!

And which are the chances of this being in dvd as Aiba's butai? because Nino's latest wasn't released and come on, he was too hot in that one! I NEED this being in dvd please! I'll be crossing fingers for this to happen *PLEASE!*

I'll say that I approved of the co-star: Koide Keisuke (so cute too!) I think both will look together... and it happens also that Koide Keisuke will be in Yuko Takeuchi's upcoming drama 'Strawberry Night' (I'm excited for this link because I'm such a dork...)

And I read there is also a drama rumor for Sho... Do you remember how there was this rumor about a drama about a Butler and a girl who solved mysteries and that it was linked to Ohno last spring? So now for this fall the rumor comes with Sho and Keiko Kitagawa... I am not complaining at all if this becomes true, let me tell you!!!!

Jun in a butai and Sho in a drama, I won't be complaining at all!!!! *totally giddy*


sources: First, the credit goes to: shongkinamez. Thanks to her tweets I read it first! Thank you! *waves*

I read about this in plenty of journals: yamakaze067, aramatheydidnt, tenjostyle, toku_betsu, hana_saku_moon, arashi_no_jidai, and also in Tokyohive. In fact, it's all over the place by now... *stupid grin*
