She is also the author behind "Nyokei Kazoku" (Matriarchal Family) and "Shiroi Kyoto" (The Great White Tower). The book depicts the conflicts within the Manpyou family, which is famous in Kansai's financial circles, amidst the tumultuous reorganisation of the financial industry of 1970s. Unlike the book, the eldest son, Teppei, and not the father, Daisuke, will be the central character of the story.

The story is set in Tokyo (instead of Kansai like in the book) in the 1970s. Because of this quite difficult set, the filming of this drama is done in Shanghai. So for some few months, the casts and staff have to go back and forth between Tokyo and Shanghai for the filming. Shanghai has also been decorated here and there, to make it look more like Tokyo in the 70s.

The filming has started since October 15th.

Takuya Kimura - as the eldest son of the Manpyo family.
Koji Yamamoto - as the second son.
Kyoko Hasegawa - as Teppei's wife.
Yuu Yamada - as the second son's love interest.
Kazue Fukiishi - as the third child, first daughter.
Toru Nakamura - as the third child's love interest.
Saki Aibu - as the fourth child, second daughter.

Theme song:

Popular actress Ryoko Shinohara takes on the role of Haruko, a responsible and capable OL who earns 3,000 yen an hour and has 28 people under her charge. Haruko, however, never cracks a smile, is cold, never minces her words and leaves the office on the dot. "Haken no Hinkaku" is a termed a timely drama that examines the differences in the treatment of an OL dispatched by a food manufacturer to a supermarket and regular employees, and the ways to overcome frictions in interpersonal relationships. It follows in the wake of an October report on labour conditions by the Labour Ministry, which showed that the proportion of regular employees to OLs had doubled compared to that 8 years ago, after a relaxation of regulations.

This time she plays a nurse who turns into a stalker (and murderer). In a slight deviation from the original storyline, the drama starts off with a nurse in love with a doctor (Takaya Kamikawa), and proceeds its depiction as her life spirals out of control.

summarized by Jerry's Kingdom


Dressed with a Thai traditional costume, Thai fans
gave Jerry Yan a huge stuffed doll for his birthday.


Before his birthday, Jerry went to Australia
for work and took time to eat a Big Mac Ice cream.


Jerry Yan fans in Hong Kong actively sent
out their birthday greetings on electronic billboards.

Yesterday, Jerry Yan who recently helped as World Vision ambassador celebrated his 30th birthday that spurred some fans to make charity work and donated money, with some who sponsored children.
In addition, people donated to local charities.

Getting Yan Cheng Xu (Jerry) to do even a bad deed won't loose his remaining powerful influence, as his Japanese fans all together donated NT$360,000, Taiwanese fans also donated NT$130,000, and HK fans then followed with sponsoring 30 children. Those far-flung Mongolia children personally made greeting cards to express their thanks and Thai fans presented him with the national Thai costume, gold necklace and dried mangoes. However, the "shining" necklace scared Jerry and frankly called out that it was "too precious!"

Jerry is currently in Japan for work, as HK fans gave their congratulation birthday messages in huge electronic billboards. There were even fans who said." I won't forget you, I still have faith in you!" where people connoted it rumored girlfriend LZL's TV commercial.

**all the donation of his fans all around Asia was estimated to reach NT$1,000,000!!
Jia you!!

Jerry turns 30 years old,
Fans smashed millions to celebrate his birthday

Summarized by Jerry's Kingdom


On Jerry's 30th birthday, he spent it to go abroad.

January 1 is Jerry Yan's 30th birthday. He, however, is nowhere in Taiwan. Somebody said he is in Asia, but another said that he is in the US. Although Jerry mysteriously got low-profiled on his birthday, fans nevertheless helped him celebrate the happy day. Someone bought him 3 clothes worth NT$120,000. Some fans also used his birthday number "30" to support 30 children which all together smashed nearly a million dollars-worth of expenses.

According to a Taipei news report, Jerry as World Vision "Child Sponsorship" ambassador, also volunteered to go to Mongolia last November to visit his sponsored children, and his two coats and a pair of pants which he actually wore there where put on bid, and after two months it has already raised NT$120,000 with two Taiwanese fans as winners.

According to reports, in order to raise funds to sponsor children and as a gift to Jerry's 30th birthday this year, 3 fan groups jointly sponsored a total of 120 children (30 children for jerryyan.org, 30 children for yanchengxu.net and 60 children for nbbbs.com). Added to this his sponsored Chun Lei class in Mongolia, they all sent cards to greet their uncle a Happy birthday.

As from Jerry's own words, he never celebrated his birthday. Currently, he is out for a vacation and just wished everyone for happiness. On the 31st,m Jerry's manager Jiang Yi Peng said that Jerry would probably film a photobook this year, and would produce a special record album. His assistant Fenny then said that Jerry went out of the country in order to prepare for his future work and would return to Taiwan in mid-January.

HYD2: Report (Spoilers ahoy!)

It's 11:21pm JST right now, and about 10 minutes ago, Hana Yori Dango 2: Returns came to a close. This season's opening theme is a bit strange. Not the music, I mean, but the video put to it-- it's much brigher and more colorful than "Wish" was, and a heck of a lot more nonsensical-looking. You might just need to see it to believe it, or to understand what I mean- and of course, you're welcome to disagree with me. But my reaction to the opening theme was "trippy." All sorts of strange moving objects, and Tsukushi dragging the F4 into a ring-around-the-rosy? Very strange.

As for plots, this episode was CHOCK full of them. The episode began with Tsukushi in New York, not really getting around very well, what with her naivete (even she's got it), her bad English, and her own personal fears and misunderstandings about what's going on with Tsukasa. As the episode progresses, we find out just how she got to that point:

-Junpei appeared, and Tsukushi again appeared on the cover of Treasures with him-- he also WILLINGLY revealed his "secret identity" to protect/defend Tsukushi from the Eitoku peers who were beating her up because of a newfound red tag in her locker. I'm not sure if it was made clear that Junpei put the tag in there in the first place (or that he staged the whole "Domyouji told me to tell you to put it in there" thing), but, as per the manga, Tsukasa didn't believe Tsukushi when she told him that she'd been tagged again-- supposedly on his orders. Thus, she went back to Eitoku only to suffer more.

-But, Domyouji never appeared (although the rest of the F4 did appear in NYC to tell Tsukasa that Tsukushi HADN'T lied to him, and she HAD been red-tagged again... why THEY didn't do anything about it is beyond me; maybe they figured they couldn't override Tsukasa's "power" if he really HAD ordered it?). They already used the "you sit here and get your ass beat or your girlfriend dies" with Sakurako in the first series of the drama; thus, Tsukushi managed to escape. However, she nearly didn't make it-- Tsubaki of all people was the one to save the day and give Junpei and his cronies the beating of a lifetime. So while Junpei's dirty secret (wanting revenge against Domyouji for beating up his brother pre-Tsukushi-in-the-F4's-lives) was revealed, and Tsukushi certainly had no pleasant feelings toward him after the fact, the whole plot was very short-lived and very different from the manga.

-Tsubaki was super-nice to Tsukushi and admitted she liked her as a younger sister; Tsukushi started to feel bad, because while she'd been in NYC, Tsukasa "broke up" with her (after she tried to sock him again, too; he ducked), told her to leave NYC and never see him again. She just wanted to find out what she'd done wrong to deserve being red-tagged again, etc., but Tsukasa never told her. In the end though, Tsukushi admits that no matter how hard she's tried to forget about Tsukasa and everything they've been through (and how "tiring" it all is), she loves him very much, and she can't forget about him-- whenever she tries to concentrate on anything else, her mind goes back to him.

-Before Junpei left Eitoku, he told Tsukushi she would be happier with Rui. We've also seen Rui helping Tsukushi out on numerous occasions again, and coming to Tsukushi's rescue in NYC... he also was writing to Shizuka in France. So I bet the Tsukushi x Rui angle will come back into play here.

-While Tsukushi was in NYC, she saw Shigeru (though she didn't know who Shigure was at the time). At the very end of the episode, Nishida (Kaede's underling) invites Makino to Tsukasa's birthday party, where Kaede makes a surprise appearance-- and the announcement that Domyouji's fiancé is somewhere in the audience. At first, the spotlight lands on Tsukushi-- but then it moves on to a girl whose back is facing the camera-- she turns around, plate full of spaghetti in hand-- it's Shigeru. Tsukushi is shocked and staring down (trying not to be seen, it looked like) for a minute, but then Kaede looked at her with *that* smirk, and Tsukushi gave her the angriest stare I've seen in a long while.

This episode also featured brief shots of what's to come:
-Tsukasa had a nightmare about some drunken guy committing suicide (?)
-Sakurako came back with an Australian boyfriend
-Junpei vowed to get revenge on Domyouji, regardless of what happened with Tsubaki and her SPs

And in the preview of next week's episode, airing on TBS (Channel 6 where I am) at 10pm:
-Tsukasa runs after a heartbroken Tsukushi as she runs out of the hotel ballroom where his birthday party was being held...
-Tsukasa grabs the wrong girl when trying to sort out the whole Tsukushi & Shigeru problem
-Nishikado and Soujiro seem to get covered in snakes?

I don't THINK I forgot anything... the first episode had LOTS of plots and sub-plots in it, weaving the path for what's to come... I believe it will be 15 episodes total, with the last (LAST LAST) episode being another double-hitter of at least 2 hours. I know the plots voted by viewers on TBS' HanaDan site will definitely happen in the show, but if this episode is any indication, we can't predict the how or when (though the party invitation from Kaede as being the road to heartbreak and humiliation for Tsukushi b/c of Shigeru was totally predictable)!

I honestly hope they don't screw over the plots TOO much by trying to cram too much into an hour's worth of air-time. But I have high-hopes, and I will most definitely be tuning in next week.

Does anyone know if SARS or any other group will be picking up the title for fansubs any time soon? (I was lucky I got to see it at all, as the dinosaur TV in the dorms here likes to warp the image)

ETA: Can someone tell me why MatsuJun NEVER seems to appear anywhere on the official HanaDan websites or advertisements, but the rest of the F4 and Tsukushi's actress DO? The only time I saw MatsuJun on anything HanaDan-related was the posters plastered all over Harajuku.

-Fixed the misspellings of "Shigeru" as "Shigure."

Won Bin Getting Back in Shape



Korean star actor Won Bin, who was discharged from military service last June, is undergoing an intense physical rehabilitation program to return to work.

His agent said Thursday that Won Bin is investing most of his time in rehabilitation therapy and exercise.

Won Bin started his military service in December 2005 and was stationed at a forward base, but was discharged in June 2006 when a knee injury worsened. His Korean and overseas fans have been eagerly waiting for his return to the screen, but he has kept a low profile and devoted himself to rehabilitation.

Despite the hiatus, Won Bin is still a favorite leading actor, and drama producers have been particularly interested in his comeback. His agent explained that although his knee condition has improved, it’s still hard for him to make sudden moves or walk for a long time.

Won Bin plans to return to acting as soon as he completes his physical therapy program.

Rumor YamaKi in another drama, Kurosagi 2???

NomanyMore

There's still NO any official info/confirmation about this news "yet" lol Well me personally I dun't think it's true, haha but who knows

Wat made me curious the most that there was NOT even one interview of YamaP & Maki on any magazine .. is it strange ? I mean just like Jun & Mao in HYD they had interview & such but YamaKi ? well even though Maki got a small role in Kurosagi, but well I wish they could have an interview together LoL

well how about u guys ?!


tsucchan

Hi you^^!

I'll explain myself more clearly than in the chat box xD.

The fact is that I'm learning Japanese actually so I've got a senpai who teaches me and she just loves Pi. Every month, she receives a Japanese Magazine and there is always an interview of YamaPi. During the period August/October, there was an interview of Pi about his dramas and all that stuff. I'll paste what my senpai translate for me:

Michiko (interviewer's name): Tomohisa-san, actually, we can see a great success of yours in the drama world, especially with Maki-chan. Do you plan to do another drama in duo with Maki-chan? And, the question everybody asks, is there something between you and Maki-chan?

Yamashita Tomohisa: Yes, me and Maki-chan have signed for a new drama together but the title can't be revealed now. And, I can't reveal you anything but, yes, me and Maki-chan are very close *laughs*. We see each other very often.

YamaPi wasn't talking about Kurosagi because it aired during April/June so he was talking about a new drama. Maybe he isn't sure about when the drama is gonna be made but I don't think it's just a stupid rumor. I really trust my senpai. That's all^^. I hope this drama is gonna comme soon.

baca kat soompi diorg kata sub song tuk HYD2 nie is latest single, utada hikaru, "flavor of life"..
pun kata besh gaks, besides theme song citer nie aahh kan, "a love is so sweet" by arashi!
btw, nie link tuk dgr latest single si hiki 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJcASsDKDas

semua tahu pasal citer Sinking of Japan kan... well, ini ada comment from someone yang dah tgk...dier letak comment nih kat cinemaonline...

I've had my share of bad natural disaster movies with over the top special effects. Made for TV movie "10.5" comes to mind, and so does "The Core" which surprisingly starred Hilary Swank. However, after watching director Shinji Higuchi's attempt at the modern remake of Japan sinking into the ocean, I've decided to add this one to the top of my personal "Movies-to-Avoid" list for the year.

To give a person a better picture of what the movie is going to be like, take the original "Godzilla" movie, remove the huge, green lizard and you get "Sinking of Japan".

Yes, this movie happens to be a remake of the original "Japan Sinks" back in 1973, which was an adaptation of Sakyo Komatsu's novel of the same name. Regretfully, after the disaster remake which was "Poseidon" , filmmakers should have learnt by now that they need fresh, new material, and should get off their lazy posteriors to obtain that. Higuchi must have been home the day "Poseidon" sunk at the box office worldwide.

Trying to bring a sense of awe to the viewers, Shinji seems to be drawing inspiration from disaster movies like "Deep Impact", "Day After Tomorrow", "Armageddon" and also from "War of the Worlds". However, the film focuses more on the love story between Reiko Abe (Ko Shibasaki), a rescue worker, and Toshio Onodera (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) , a deep sea diver, who is torn between leaving the country to escape the disaster, and staying with Reiko.

Instead of focusing on the impact of the disaster on the country, we get a half-baked storyline with slow moments in between, churning out a dragging love story. Classic moments come about when Reiko and Toshio, run to each other in slow motion with a romantic ballad in the background that seemed like a bad remake of "Pearl Harbour".

The plot is slow paced, the actors are dull, and the only thing that seems to hold up the movie is the enactment of the destruction of Japan in a series of earthquake-ridden moments and tsunami encounters. Regretfully, the destruction scenes are shown in 20 second sequences, followed by dramatic, dragged out scenes between the central characters. No doubt the CGI sequences are entertaining enough, giving you an idea of how Japan would look like should a series of massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions were to hit the country. Yet it's nothing new, as we've seen it all before in films like "Armageddon", "Deep Impact" and "Titanic".

The movie reminds me of another disaster movie, which was made for T.V. Called "10.5" , in which seismic activity at the San Andreas fault hits 10.5 on the Richter scale and splits part of California in two, thus creating a huge gap in downtown L.A. There were enough scientific inconsistencies in that movie, and the same thing is repeated in "Sinking of Japan". The theory given to the audience now is that the tectonic plates beneath Japan are breaking up, and being sucked into the Earth's core. A conveyor belt process occurs and the plate will eventually drag Japan into the ocean.

This movie is a modern remake of the original film, but instead of taking the opportunity to focus on the survivor elements, the director seems to follow Hollywood's typical formula - one man to save them all. The country's impending doom relies on one man in one little deep-sea diving craft to plant a nuclear device to blow up the ground, in order to stop the ground from pulling Japan into the waters.

Playing the mad geologist, Yusuke Tadokoro, is Etsushi Toyokawa, who over-dramatises his character. We see the Tadokoro losing his temper by smashing his fist into his LCD monitor before he then hugs the monitor, crying, when he finds out that the country has only one year before it sinks completely.

And in tribute to Murphy's law - whatever can go wrong, will go wrong - as Tadokoro's plan to stop the sinking goes wrong when the diving craft is knocked out of control by aftershocks and the nuclear device is lost.

The soundtrack did not suit the movie at all; where an orchestra infused number with haunting melodies would have brought a different feel to the ending, we instead get Japanese pop ballads which might have gone better in a teenage romance flick.

The final verdict : Only if you have a sadistic need to watch a country spiral towards its doom.

Korean telenovela royalty

Mad for Princess Hours

By Vera HC Chan
Mon, January 08, 2007, 2:04 pm PST


Princess Hours

Love denied. Arranged marriages. Scheming power struggles between women with lots of hair spray. And in the middle of it all, a Cinderella and her Crown Prince who just wants¡ªlet's say it together¡ªto direct.

Those who hallyu know of what we speak. Soaps have been the latest tsunami in the South Korean pop culture wave, and searchers have been intimate with past telenovelas like "My Name is Kim Sam Soon," "Princess Lulu," "Winter Sonata" and "Jewel in the Palace."

Now, a year after after its original airing, TV dramedy "Princess Hours," based on the ongoing comic "Goong," has returned to swamp the Buzz, with enraptured fans in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Chicago pushing the show into the top 350 searches. Lasting a mere 24 episodes, the drama reimagines a present in which royal line didn't end with Japanese colonization. Not everyone may be a fan, but most agree that the dramedy reeks of cutesy stars and big-budget glam opulence.

The show was made to appeal to Japanese audiences, according to Yonhap News, but "Princess Hours" has been a global phenom. DVD/VCD sales have blown past the quarter-million mark, even as it airs in wider Asian and American markets. With its availability in an American-compatible DVD format (a first for a Korean telenovela), English-speakers can now understand the Crown Prince's pain when he tells Chae-kyeong, "Watching you sit and ask for forgiveness there, it'd make me want to puke."

Anticipation and searches are already up for the sequel¡ªanother first for a Korean soap ¡ªcalled "Prince Hours." Meanwhile, some of us are just waiting for the MadTV spoof.
