Ah I haven't been here in ages. Once school starts it really dampens your spirit to continue on. but i am back here and there to give some snippets of the photobook information

september 5 2010
Popular actress Nakama Yukie just released an eponymous titled photobook on September 3rd, and she held a handshake event on the 5th to celebrate its release. It has been 10 years since Yukie has released a photobook, so she said she felt nervous to hold a fan event like this.

The book is simply called “Nakama Yukie“, and it includes an interview where she talks about her life, love philosophy, and so on. Moreover, there are some photos included that date back as far as her debut.

So i guess there are probably old pictures of her dating to her child hood days! II~ i want it. hahaha

and according to the video posted on the chat box, seems like everyone was waiting and queuing to go in eventhough the weather was really hot. AHAH the power of nakama yukie~

yet another information

Nakama Yukie (30) and Dan Rei (39) are set to work together on a new winter drama.

The title of the show has not yet been made, but the story will focus on the complex and thrilling world of women. Nakama will play the role of the mysterious and wicked woman, and she comes across a normal housewife, who is played by Dan. From there, jealous, friendship, and compassion will be the main themes of the show.

The filming for the drama already started a little while ago and the two actresses quickly became friendly with each other. Nakama said that as soon as she read the script, she wanted to meet Dan right away. “Dan gives an atmosphere of motherliness, kind and warm”, Nakama said. “I’m playing a woman with a lot of different faces. I haven’t had any roles like this in the past but I’m enjoying it”, she added.

Dan is equally delighted to be working with Nakama. “I never imagined that I will be able to work with Nakama. Working with her is just pure fun. I’m enjoying work so much I have to be careful not to suffer heatstroke”, Dan said with a smile. She keeps putting in hard work despite record high temperatures in Japan, so hopefully it all pays off.

The drama will be aired on FujiTV for the upcoming winter season 2011.

Finally back on Track

Hi guys
I am so sorry that i really haven't been here for quite some time, School has really kept me busy and I forgot to mention it here that i wouldn't be blogging for a period of time. Gomenasai!-Bows-

Anyway,
I have decided that this shall be a page for me to rant on all my current obsessions.
Back into the Japanese Craze:

nakama yukie
Amami Yuki
Kanno Miho

Recently watched Kanno Miho on Waratte Iitomo, hahah she is so funny and fun loving that it is endearing. >< And the amount of countries that she went to is just amazing, when will i be able to visit 30 plus countries in a life time.
And i just ordered Kantabi (Her essay photobook) from Kinokuniya. I guess the process that took me to order it from them was pretty hilarious

Me: Kanno Miho san no Kantabi ga arimasu ka?
Sale personnel: Chotto Matte kudasai (Checks)

Then he proceed to order it for me and i happily filled in the form without realising the price. When i finally realised that I didnt asked I got a huge shock and quickly asked Ikura desu ka?
Hahaha, but in the end even with the rather steep price I still ordered it. ><

Nakama has been kept busy with Trick and Flowers too, urgh the outfit that she was assigned for flowers is just pure horror, no way am i going to place it here. ><

I do love how she atteneded pusma with Abe, the both of them are supper funny
Especially with Nakama's AMAZING drawings, i do love the drawing on AVATAR the most. Only Abe could have guessed that she was attempting to draw the AVATAR, SASUGA wonderful combi. (:


Across the GLOBE: America

Trailer for Adjustment Bureau



How I love the ever beautiful and elegant and funny Emily Blunt, if you people have the time, do watch some of her movies. Her portrayal of the characters are just spectacular, some may even blow you away.

Young Victoria
Sun Shine Cleaning
Jane Austen Book Club

Last but not least, the current trend : GLEE~
I have to admit it! I am a total Gleek, I love LEA MICHELE so much, or her voice to be more specific! Glee is not doing justice by auto tuning her voice when her actual voice carries so much more raw energy and emotions.



I nearly fainted after hearing this song. Such emotion and power is within this song. It just gives you the goosebumps. ><

I dreamed a dream by Lea and indina Menzel is amazing too, no doubt the both of them are fantastic broadway singers! Sleek and powerful

14 blades

I love this movie! it was totally not what i expected!

I love the random comedic scenes with Donnie Yen and Vicki Zhao. :) they look compatible too. I guess we haven seen enough of them in painted skin. Both of them were amazing in their characters. After seeing Both Painted skin and Hua Mulan, it is a relieve and a joy to see vicki back to her bubbly and optimistic self- with a character and a back bone of course. Not that i do not love the other two movies, but i feel that i NEED to watch her again in something less stressful and painful.
Donnie portrayed a wonderful Qing Long. Ah it makes me wish that there is such person alive in reality. The scene where Qiao Hua imitated Qing Long was hilarious, everyone was laughing their heads off. LOL

Erm when Wu zun and kate tsui came out, i cant help but laugh. hahaha tuo tuo?!! Don't make me laugh please.

overall, good movie, guys who love action should consider this. Of course girls,there is a wonderful romance plot and scenes that we should not miss out!

Accepting death

Funny how every thing seems so small and redundant in the face of death.
How rushing for lessons, being in a temper seem so ridiculously small after a few seconds on the phone. Receiving news was a pain, passing the news to others was anguish. Accepting the news? Pure torture.

I regret the fact that i have never sincerely called you every time i see you during family gatherings or functions. How precious time seems to be for you as your son's wedding approaches.

The times you carried me when i was a baby and the times you carried your grand daughters or your sisters when they were still babies has been engraved in our hearts.

You will always be dearly missed.

FLOWERS

i guess most of you heard about the movie about the tsubaki ladies
so i am here to post the official news.

Toho has revealed a new film by director Norihiro Koizumi ("Taiyou no Uta," "Gachi Boy"). Titled "FLOWERS," the movie stars six women seen in Shiseido’s popular TSUBAKI commercials: Yu Aoi (24), Yuko Takeuchi (29), Lena Tanaka (29), Yukie Nakama (30), Kyoka Suzuki (41), and Ryoko Hirosue (29).



"FLOWERS," which has been in the works since late 2008, was planned by creative director Takuya Onuki, whose works include the TSUBAKI commercials. The movie portrays six related stories, spanning three generations.



It begins in the 1930s with a woman named Rin Miyazawa (played by Yu Aoi), who is troubled by the marriage that her parents have arranged for her. Seeking freedom, she leaves the house on her wedding day, and later in life gives birth to three daughters. The oldest, Kaoru (Takeuchi), loses her husband in a car accident. The second, Midori (Tanaka), is a working woman who tries to decide between her job and a marriage proposal. The youngest, Sato (Nakama), is born with weak health and passes away after delivering her second child. Sato’s daughters are played in the present day by Suzuki and Hirosue.



Filming started last April and continued for half a year. Theatrical release has been set for June 12, 2010. The male cast members are reportedly on a level comparable with the six beauties, though their identities will be revealed at a later date.

I am still waiting patiently for TRICK to come out
ueda yamada pairing!!!!!

funny how one person can embrace so many obsession and still stay sane. I have recently started obsessing about another new couple stars, chen kun and vicki zhao. we can say that i started loving her since 1997 when i watched hzgg, princess returning pearl (?)but my love for her as rekindled again after watching painted skin and hua mulan. amazing chemistry, no doubt from 2 people who have known each other for 13 years and are 2 of the 3 musketeers during their university school days. :) i strongly encourage you guys to watch hua mulan, totally different from the disney version. more depth, more haunting music to ring in your brains.

a very very belated new year to you guys!

ahhh 60th kouhaku has became my favourite among the past few years! :)
go to yanie's site for review! our nakama is gorgeous!


Been busy with registration of courses and modules for university. seriously horrendous... and i have a mild case of rashes on my left thigh, it has always been my left thigh -wonder why?- Let's hope it stays MILD. -itches-

anyway i just caught mulan on dvd, finally bought it. Though it is not as colourful as the disney cartoon version. It is highly meaningful and the battle scenes were detailed and very well directed!

Chen Kun and Vicki Zhao were both amazing in their roles. Of course they graduated from Bejing Film Academy, she came in first in country for the entrance exams and he was first among the guys. hahaha let's hope there are more wonderdul work out there for the both of them to collarborate again.
