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.

Kirin Super Fire poster in blue. It's a hot looking Kimura poster and I loved it when I got it and paid for it what I shouldn't have but it has been resting in the tube I received it in and never used it so I think it's time to let it go.

To my first Johnny ever... to the one I should blame for getting me into jdramas, jpop and JE... Omedetoo gozaimasu!! 39 hasn't ever looked so uber sexy! You looked so hot staring at Yuko Takeuchi, your chin on your hand that rested on the back of a chair... Pride was an absolute discovery for me, one that I am so glad I made... ^^

I've been working on these for a while (some hours here some other there) but I wanted to finish them. I must confess that I left out some others I wanted to make but well, I think there are enough hotness here.




the smile...

( Wong Kar Wai made TAK unbelievably and tragically hot and intense, take a look )

I made them to have some to use myself and thought posting them in case somebody is looking for icons of this cm. ;)

1. 2. 3. 4.

I hope I can find the time and the inspiration to make more soon (I feel a bit stuck atm). He's so incredibly delicious (and uber sexy) there, that he deserves some more icons ;)

If you take any, I'd love if you could comment.

scottishlass mentioned something about Takuya and Shingo travelling together to Cannes. I was curious about it because it'd be the second time Takuya go there (the first was promoting 2046). But I haven't found if they did go to Cannes but I did find out that they travelled together.

HERE are some pics of them in an airport from a couple of days ago

And HERE is a video of their arrival to the airport

I started having doubts about the Cannes thing because a reporter in the video asks Takuya to say hello to Hong Kong people as they fight to get their microphones closer. It doesn't mean anything really because they both could stop there for a while, but I just don't know and I haven't found a thing about him or Shingo related to Cannes *shrugs*

But I also found THIS pic of a couple of ads featuring Takuya and Shingo in a couple of their dramas, but I'm not sure about the place. It could perfectly be Cannes but it could be other place too. Takuya's ad is about Hero, btw.

What I've discovered and has surprised me quite a bit it's that it seems that there will a HERO movie againn starring Takuya and Takako Matsu, and that Lee Byung Hun (alexandral, the actor from A Bittersweet Life) will be Takuya's Korean partner that will help him in a case that takes Takuya to Korea. HERE is the info (scroll down until you reach the part titled 'A New Hero in Korea'). ADDED: I've just found THIS other link with a bit more info about it.

And this is a pretty old article that I've found for the first time now. It talks about Takuya when he went to Cannes promoting 2046. I knew he said something or behaved in a way that Japanese people got pretty mad at him but I still don't know the details. However this article annoys me to no end! I mean I hate that tone of 'know-it-all' and constant critizising searching for things to ridicule the person they're talking about. It may look funny or may raise an eyebrow if Takuya really uses what the article mentions (somebody told me that Nakai was in fact who used them) but not to the point to insinuate that he doesn't deserve to think of himself as a good actor or that he doesn't deserve the praises he gets... He's not perfect, but as people says in my country 'Envy is evil'.
