I had spent the last two week out west visiting friends and relaxing under the gorgeous summer sky. It was such a blessing to put work aside and to sleep to my heart’s content. I wouldn’t mind bring you along next time, as long as, you are able to fit into my suitcase. LOL Many thanks for those who had commented/sent mail, I’ll be getting back you as soon as I can. :)

I just couldn’t resist and had to add this:

It has been confirmed that Arashi’s Jun Matsumoto (26) will star in Fuji TV’s Monday night drama series next season. He will be the first member of the group to appear in a drama during that time slot, and this will be his first lead role in a full-length Fuji TV series.

The drama, titled “Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku,” is an original love story by “Buzzer Beat” screenwriter Mika Omori. The female lead is being played by Yuko Takeuchi (30), who starred in “Lunch Queen” and “Fukigen na Gene,” both also written by Omori.

In the show, Matsumoto plays a struggling actor who has developed a complex due to his father, a famous actor. The character is described as being “tsundere,” a term referring to people who are normally cold in personality but become overly fawning when they are around their love interest. In this case, that love interest is an older woman being played by Takeuchi, whose character is said to be spirited, but also mysterious due to certain circumstances.

“Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku” will air Monday nights at 9:00pm, starting in July.

Kyaa~~ this made my day! I absolutely adore Yuko-san and simply love her acting. This is such a dream come true, pairing Jun-kun and her in the same drama! :glassy: Pure brilliance ne?! Also, the story sounds very interesting — the love story between a tsundere man and a very cheerful/energetic woman. I am MECHA excited!! I bet Nino is envying Jun-kun at this moment lol. Now, we all know who will be visiting the set every now and them. :D

Kyaa~~ Riida will be appear as a guest in Sho-kun’s drama, Tokujou Kabachi!! as a lawyer. I believe his name is Honda-san. Does that mean Naruse-san has been resurrected and came back for revenge?! lmao He does really look him except a bit chubbier and cuter. :D I really hope that Sho-kun and him will have a scene together. I love how the members appear in each other dramas; though Jun-kun is lacking, maybe he will in the next one. :glassy:

Oh-chan is so darn adorable here, the Kaibutsu-kun outfit certainly makes him look 16, ne. :) How can he be turning 30 year this?! He gets cuter and cuter as he ages. I’m also really psyched about him working Mabo. :up: for some Arashi and TOKIO collaboration, definitely looking forward to this! :D

Today it was announced that actor Matsumoto Jun (26) and actress Nagsawa Masami (22) are going to have a kiss scene in Fuji TV’s upcoming 50th anniversary dorama “Wagaya no Rekishi”.

The dorama is set during the turbulent middle period of the Showa era and evolves around the seven members of the cheerful Yame family. Matsumoto plays Yoshio the eldest son of the Yame family who falls in love with Yukari (Nagasawa), the child of a good family.

Due to the discrepancy between their families they strongly oppose the marriage plans of the couple, but then even a picture of one of their “prohibited kiss scenes” becomes public and matters get worse. They eventually decide to run away to save their love, but super typhoon Vera is going to thwart their plans. Vera hit Japan on September 26th, 1954 and was the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in recorded history. Looks like fate isn’t a fan of their relationship either.

The special anniversary dorama will air on 3 consecutive nights starting on April 9.

The first thought that came to my mind was NINO!! …and yes, I am a Nino x Masami fan after seeing Yasashii Jikan. :) If they are together, I hope that their relationship is still strong. Anyway, I’m sure it’s going to be a decent kiss scene, Jun-kun tends to be really good at these, may I mention that he does not hold back either?! For those who have watched his dramas, you know what I mean! :blush:

So excited!!! The official CM has been aired for Jun-kun’s drama special. It looks very interesting and more of a comedy than I had previously predicted. Jun-kun looks so young with that haircut ne. The style is not as bad as everyone was been babbling about, it does fit the era. :) Definitely looking forward to this!
