Did you miss me, maybe just for a teeny bit?

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:

Matsumoto Jun to be starring in the next Getsu 9 drama

Fiona — Sat, 29 May 2010 01:56:02 +0000

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! 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.

Some comments from the voters (only including the Arashi ones):

I’m certainly not surprised that Jun-kun has been ranked #1, he definitely has sexy and seductive lips! Though, I find Sho-kun’s kind of cute. We should all go watch the boys eat ramen ne. ♥ No complaints of the rest of the male rankings, all of them have beautiful lips.

Matsumoto Jun Guested on Oguri Shun’s Radio Program

Fiona — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 21:03:56 +0000

At the end of March, Shun Oguri (小栗旬) will graduate from the radio program “All Night Nippon (オールナイトニッポン)” on which he has been working from 2007. On this, Arashi member’s Jun Matsumoto (松本潤) announced suddenly: “If it is going to end, I’ll go.” and joined the live broadcast as a surprise guest. The two, who are good friends in private, had deep talk at night and showed an unspoken consensus with each other.

Their first encounter was at the shooting of “Gokusen (ごくせん)”. They talked about the first impression on each other and became good friends. Later, they costarred “Hana yori Dango (花より男子)” and spent the whole night in the hotel at Narita airport because of the tight schedule. “I went to Jun’s room. Really? In the hotel at Narita airport? Jun Matsumoto brought the whole volume of the comic of ‘Hana yori Dango’. And, he said ‘Shun, I think this scene is here. I want to read the whole comic, how do you think?’ So we talked about like ‘this man is doing this at this time…’ (laugh)” It seems they talked about the performance at the sleepless night and evidently hit it off with each other.

After the live broadcast, Oguri indicated that he wanted to do something in return for his guesting. And it is said that Oguri’s appearance on the drama “Smile (スマイル)” last year was a response to Matsumoto’s request as well. Actually, they are not only good friends, but also good working partner as well. Let’s look forward to their future collaboration.

From Music Japan Plus

Aww, those two, I adore their everlasting friendship! I’ve seen a few dramas with Shun-kun, he is certainly an interesting and talented actor. Now if only Mao-chan could have been there, that would be even more awesome ne.

Matsumoto Jun’s “forbidden” kiss scene in upcoming drama

Fiona — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:11:43 +0000

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!
