Ninomiya Kazunari Feels Comfortable with Chignon in his 1st Historical Drama

Arashi’s member Kazunari Ninomiya, together with costars Kou Shibasaki, Kuranosuke Sasaki, and Hiroshi Tamaki attended the press conference of the movie “Ooku”. The background of the movie is set in the Edo period with the positions of man and woman reversed.

Shibasaki, who will be playing the role of a female Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, revealed her aim: “Because my role is a queen, I will try to express a kind of resolute personality.” As for Ninomiya, for whom it’s the first time to play a role in the Jidaigeki (historical TV drama), commented on his own chignon appearance with a smile: “I think it fits me very well! It’s quite comfortable.” Another noteworthy feature is that Sasaki and Tamaki had thrown themselves completely into the performance of the love scene between guys in the movie. Tamaki said: “The love scene between Mr. Kuranosuke and me started on the first shooting day. I felt a little bit weird at the beginning because female and male were reversed in the story. However, it turned out to be very smooth and I was not worried at all.” As to Sasaki, he gave the comment that “Maybe we have developed the empathy with each other. I am open to Tama-chan now.” “Yeah, we are.” agreed Tamaki, looking like “in love” with the partner. Hearing the conversation, Ninomiya was totally laughing out.

Nino certainly looks handsome, I tend to forget since he is such a brat when he’s with Arashi. Does that scene where Yoshimune-san had made Mizuno-kun look at her make you go kya~~? SUTEKI! ♥♥ Though, the camera had panned around the room too fast, I did get a glance of Tamaki-kun. He looks gorgeous of well. This is going to be one awesome movie!!

Hiroshi Tamaki Wants to Collaborate with Stephen Chow

Fiona — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 02:59:58 +0000

Tamaki Hiroshi held his concert last night at the Hong Kong International Trade & Exhibition Centre in Kowloon Bay. As he had some free time in the afternoon, he accepted interviews from the press, however he arrived about an hour late. Tamaki revealed during the interview that he will be singing and playing the guitar at the concert. He will also be speaking a few lines in Cantonese to introduce himself. At the end of the show, there will be a handshake event to get up close and personal with his fans. As this is already his fourth/fifth time in HK, reporters asked him on his impressions of the ladies here. Tamaki replied: “HK women and Japanese women are quite similar. Both have their charms.”

While on the topic of HK artistes, Tamaki said: “If there is a chance I would like to work with Stephen Chow. I really enjoy his films, especially comedies.” Tamaki appeared to have lost a lot of weight recently. He explained that he was indeed heavier before, but he started going to the gym two months prior to his concert to get back in shape. Tamaki also mentioned he spent time exploring the area close to his hotel and had a chance to eat Chinese food. He hopes to have hot pot after his concert to celebrate. When asked when he’ll be leaving HK? He says he still has to attend a fan meet today.

It would be purely awesome, let’s all pray that Tamaki-kun and Stephen Chow could do a collaboration! I would be swimming in blissfulness if these two (both favorites of mine) could share the same screen. I will be practically in heaven.

Also, I hope Tamaki-kun will get back in shape soon, he appears to be extremely thin and undernourished now. He looked extremely healthy as Chiaki-sempai, ganbatte!

Supporting cast announced for Ooku

Fiona — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:39:20 +0000

In December it got announced that Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari (26) and Shibasaki Kou (28) would star together in Kaneko Fuminori’s “Ooku,” a live-action film adaptation of the manga by Yoshinaga Fumi. Both Ninomiya and Shibasaki never starred in a jidaigeki film before.

Today the supporting cast for the promising movie got announced. It will include other stars like Horikita Maki (21), Tamaki Hiroshi (30), Abe Sadawo (39) and Kanjani8’s Okura Tadayoshi (24)….

….Horikita will play a neighborhood girl and childhood friend of Mizuno with feelings for him. According to the press release we can look forward to a love story where neither one can be honest with each other. It will be a roller coaster ride of love and hate inside the ooku and feature fresh elements that make it a different and more unique love story compared to others.

Tamaki, Abe and Okura will play other key roles in the world of ooku’s handsome men. Of course Tamaki’s role will be no other than the most handsome of all handsome men and lead the elite group of the ooku. Abe’s role has already given up of getting promoted to serve the shogun and will be a character full of sorrow. For Okura it will be the first role in a movie and it will be that of the biggest rival of Mizuno. He is a master of the sword and one highlight of the movie is going to be a fierce battle between Okura and Ninomiya.

Other than the amazing cast, we can look forward to probably(!) more than just 1 movie and a budget of more than 1 billion yen for the first installment. “Ooku” will open in Japan on October 1, 2010.

From Kawaii Joyuu

Wow, what an extravagant cast! I was quite happy when Neener and Shibasaki-san were casted but now I’m CHO excited with the additional ones, especially Tamaki-kun. I can’t wait to see their collaboration, it is such happiness when your favorite artists share the same screen. Ooo, will there be some sword fighting between Arashi and Eito as well?!

Tamaki Hiroshi Reproves Ueno Juri

Fiona — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:43:25 +0000

Thought this was cute and wanted to shared the Nodame-related news with you.

On December 9th a special preview event of the film ‘のだめカンタービレ最終楽章前編 / Nodame Cantabile Saishu-gakusho Zenpen [lit. 'Nodame Cantabile Last Movement First Half']‘ was held. The lead actors Ueno Juri and Tamaki Hiroshi attended the event alongside fellow cast members and the director.

Ueno was asked whether she had any troubles while filming in Europe. “It was difficult at first, but gradually I got used to it. In the end I was able to enjoy the pizzas and pastas!” Tamaki, smiling wryly, lightly chided Ueno. “I don’t think the reporter was asking about the food.”
Finally the actors each gave a message to their fans. Ueno faced the audience and said “If you enjoyed the movie, go see the movie again at a better theater!” Tamaki was quick to correct her. “This is a perfectly good theater too!” The combination of the two was just like the couple Nodame and Chiaki, the characters they played in the film. Throughout the event the audience enjoyed the back and forth between them.

The movie ‘のだめカンタービレ最終楽章前編 / Nodame Cantabile Saishu-gakusho Zenpen’ will premiere nationwide on December 19th.

MUKYAAA~~~ This trailer was simply amazing, just cannot wait to see it. I guess they started filming right after Tamaki-kun finished his other movies, he does look quite thin here, but still handsome. Juri-chan is becoming more and more beautiful each time I see her. Love the scene where Nodame bites Chiaki, I think she had fangs LOL.

Happy May, minna-san!!

Finally had the chance to do some fandom searching on Youtube and look what I had found!

The PV was cute with the little story, I really would mind getting into the car with Tamaki-kun. Slow Time is a nice song with its relaxing composition and soothing vocals. I’m curious to the other songs on his new album, cannot wait when it is released.

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about Tamaki-kun, I went searching on Youtube for his infamous Mr. Donut commericals. **Haven’t started watching Love Shuffle yet, still awaiting for it be fully subbed. They are so randomly cute, each having their own little stories. Tamaki-kun is handsome as ever, hopefully, he will be back into his sempai mode soon.
