Ohno Satoshi to Star in Live-Action Kaibutsu-kun

by Fiona

The Sankei Sports newspaper reports that Arashi band member Satoshi Ohno will star in a live-action television adaptation of Fujiko Fujio A’s Kaibutsu-kun supernatural action manga this April. The story follows the prince of Kaibutsu Land, Kaibutsu-kun, as he decides to go to the human world as part of his training to become the king. Fujiko Fujio A is best known for co-creating the classic manga Doraemon.

The new series, which is the first live-action adaptation of the manga after two animated series, will run on the NTV network. The production will use computer graphics and special makeup to transform Ohno into a kaibutsu (monster).

The original manga ran in Shonen Gahosha’s Shonen Gaho magazine from 1965 and 1969. Later incarnations ran in Shonen Gahosha’s Weekly Shonen King (1967-1969) and Shogakukan’s CoroCoro Comic (1980-1982). Tokyo Movie Shinsha animated the story into a 1968-1969 television series and Shin’ei Doga animated a remake from 1980 to 1982. There was also an anime film in 1981.

I’m wondering if this will be a crack comedy?! I found this pretty amusing and unexpected, but will definitely check it out since it’s Oh-chan. I had watched the anime sometime ago, which was quite hilarious. Riida will do wonders to the role without a doubt, he’s such a natural when it comes to acting.

This is such a sweet CM, especially the messages. Even though they were simple, each held a special meaning. The calls between Aiba and Jun-kun are something not to miss, you can sense the warmth from their voices. I found the second one quite adorable, always love when there is some Juntoshi action. BTW, Ohno’s finger were very pretty during that scene. I wonder if there will additional versions with Sho-kun and Nino.

Loads of Ohmiya here!! Nino looks so dorky with the wig. LOL
Doesn’t Arashi’s laughter and smiles just makes your days?!

Let it snow, let it snow!

It has been snowing for the past 15 hours or so, it is certainly pretty outside. I had taken a few pictures of nature’s at its best and wanted to share them. These are of my backyard:


Sugoi kirei ne. It is especially beautiful when a fresh coat blankets the ground. Though, shoveling it is whole different story, not looking forward to tomorrow morning. :dizzy:

BTW, this is my 300th post, who would have thought I still here after two year? Thank you so much to all my readers, your comments always rock my world! Nope, I haven’t decided on how to celebrate, but taking the day off was certainly a treat!
