Wooo.... busy day!! ICHIKAWA EBIZO, the playboy kabuki actor decided to settle down!!*v* I'm soooo glad! For those who don't know who he is, he starred Kimura's MR.BRAIN recently, the bald handsome guy ^_^

He had sent a fax to the media, that he will soon be engaged! The official news is everywhere.

He's going to marry Kobayashi Mao, NEWS ZERO caster, the younger sister of Kobayashi Maya, the ex-TBS announcer (she used to be a regular in Chubaw). And I thought Mao was rumored with Sakurai Sho???O_O haha, I'm glad that's not true, Sho doesn't suit Mao, IMO^^;;

Ebizooo, omedetouuu!!!^o^ Finally! The playboy found his endgame, haha. I feel touched. Pls, pls, pls, don't let it end in a divorce. Like Nakamura Shido-Takeuchi Yuko's divorce news really disappointed me.
I dunno much abt Mao, but I really, really hope Ebizo-Mao will last and grow old together. Ebizo had many popular ex-girlfriends, Yonekura Ryoko(after Musashi), Miyazawa Rie, Sato Eriko, etc. They all stood out actresses.

I have to say Kobayashi Mao is a very, very ordinary woman, she's not even that pretty, IMO. I've only watched her drama, Tokyo Friends. And I've watched her b4 in news or variety, although I've only seen a bit of her, but she gives this 'obedient' vibe^^ Unlike her babbly sister, I think Mao is calm and quiet and submissive. As a talent, she doesn't shine at all, but that's why I think she's perfect to be a kabuki actor's wife^^ It's highly possible that she won't mind quitting from her newscaster career and fully do her duty as a kabuki actor's wife^^

Soooo......... the big question for me is... are KimuraMatsu invited to the wedding??? hahaha... of course it has to go back to that! Whaddya think?? lol. (GW gitu loh! KM-er sejati XD) Kimura got along very well with Ebizo on MR.BRAIN's set and Matsu is Ebizo's cousin(and they're quite close). So, I'll keep track on Ebizo-Mao's marriage news, when the wedding date is decided, we can conclude that might be the day Kimura and Matsu meet again, lol! (*gasp* with their respective spouses?? XD ooh, that'd be awkward, haha)

I was a Buzzer Beat fan and Yamapi-Keiko shipper^^ I liked them together since their love rumor circulated (with the kissing purikura) in 2005.

That's why I got so excited upon seeing this rumor article that just published this morning ^_^

English article with the paparazzi pics published by Josei Seven today:
http://www.kawaii-joyuu.com/?p=3710

From what I read though, they were seen in a Korean restaurant, not Chinese.

Apparently fans had been suspecting since before that YamaKo has matching bracelets?: http://agazou.seesaa.net/article/133151851.html

Hands-holding Date!!

One of the restaurant customer who was in the Korean restaurant was shocked to see YamaKo there, alone just the two of em in the VIP room. She thought there was a filming, but she couldn't find any camera or staff anywhere around, she felt like she was just watching a drama scene, that it made her doki2, lol.
YamaKo spent 2 hours dining there, then they exited the place. That night was raining and very cold, so Keiko got closer and closer to Yamapi while walking. Yamapi smiled to Keiko, took away the folded umbrella Keiko was holding, and opened it up to cover them both from the rain. After awhile, they went home with different taxis.

Apparently, four days before this, they were also seen in an Italian resturant together. They were going to use the private room but it was full, so they dined in open space. When they were going home, Keiko brought a big, heavy bag with her, and Yamapi held it for her and held her hand while walking together.

Just like always, the agencies has immediately made a public comment to the press:
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20091119-00000033-sanspo-ent

Both Johnnys and Stardust said, "They are not dating each other. They're nothing more than friends who had work together before,". LOL. Of course, we believe you ^_^

So, what's the chronology here?? Was it really like how it was all rumored??

I have 3 guesses for this:

A. YamaKo REALLY dated back in 2005, broken up. Then during Buzzer Beat filming, they had their own boyfriend and girlfriend, but old feelings rushed in back, they broke up with their respective lovers and they got back together??

B. They were never together, the kissing purikura was false. During Buzzer Beat, they fell in love for real this time, and so decided to breakup with their respective lovers and then they get together for real.

C. They were never together. The ballerino and Seira were all false rumors, and YamaKo has been dating each other since Buzzer Beat ended?

I trust this rumor more because the photo is much clearer than the kissing purikura^^ And as far as I know, there were no photos of Keiko-ballerino and Yamapi-Seira?

You know, its not so often the couples I ship comes true, so I really treasure this rumor!! XD

This sounds like Takuya to me ^_^

Just a note, in the previous entries Shingo wrote the night before, he said he was changing to a pink pajama and he was wearing a skull underwear^^ Shingo's last entry was around 3 AM New York, and so he really slept late. Then this mysterious guy posted an entry around 9 AM ^_^

Nakai, Kimura, Goro, Tsuyoshi, Shingo are all in New York today *v* Filmed Softbank CM together *_* Some people saw Nakai at a ramen shop in New York, lol. Dasar Nihonjin primitif, dah nyampe NY makannya tetep ramen XD Shingo gave birthday present to Kimura, but he forgotten to pick up the receipt from the bag, and it made him panic a bit, lol. Birthday present is glasses matching with Shingo's glasses, how cute^^ (got this all from Shingo's Tarlow blog)

Fire alarm was switched on this morning at my office, and they evacuated the building. Downstairs we were given bread and water, so its obvious that it was just a simulation^^;;;

My boss was in another bad mood today and a nerve-wracking thing happened today that made him extremely upset, and it made my feet cramps coz I was a bit panic about it, but thank God, it all ended good and we got the way out now, pheww.... And thanks to that, soon I don't have to meet those government ppl anymore, yossshhh~~

We made our customer waited sooooo long for the negotiation price respond, due to my boss' stuborness, and I was soooo afraid the customer would be yelling at me on the phone, but thank Gooood he was nice today, hehe... luckyyy...

Ciater reservation wa junchou, junchou(lancar/smooth))~ I'm soooo looking forward to January!!*v* Safari Park, Tangkuban Perahu Mountain, and Ciater Resort... waaaaiiii~~~ And everything will be paid by the company!! Waaaiii~~~

Currently addicted to the American scifi series, FlashForward!! Sugooooiiiii~~~~ I'm more excited about this series now more than Smallville =P So why did the whole human race in the planet blacked out for 137 seconds at the same time and made them see the next 6 months future? Who is that one guy who was walking around at the moment the whole planet blacked out?? I hope the answers to all of these are good enough! And this Thursday, Yuko Takeuchi will make her debut appearance in this series! Go Yuko!

Also currently addicted to Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre as I'm watching the Mainland China 2009 series. Deng Chao is really awesome as Zhang Wuji(but yappa Tony Leung is still the best one) and Ady An is the best Zhao Min!^o^ Fighting choreography wa sugoooiiiii!!! Saikou! Haven't watch fully though.

Still downloading Jdramas although I haven't watch them. What happened to Gachapin?T_T

I'm so happy when I found out Shingo mentioned Arisa in Smap Power Splash Nov 1st. He said "Arisa da! Arisa! Kore wa Mizuki Arisa dayo!". Heheh.... he really memorize all Arisa's dramas, I think he's really a big fan of Arisa^^ Aa... Sazae-san's rating was 20.9%!! Omedetooouu!! Arisa is STILL the rating queen!^^

NakaNaka wa itsuuuu???!!?? Hey NHK! Give me my NakaNaka presscon immediately!!! XD

Tarlow mitaaaaaiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!! Nandeeeee..... doushiteeee.... nandeeee......... T_T

On the other hand.... I'm just gonna start Chapter 6 of the conversation book..... yabeeee........

Ijyou desu.

So Shingo has departed to New York since Nov 8th or 9th, and Goro-chan has replaced him for IiTomo Monday Nov 9th. (I always feel so moved how SMAP member is willing to fill in for another member's work *_*)

Shingo has started his TALK LIKE SINGING performance and he said in his Tarlow blog, he was surprised that the theater was almost full, and he got a standing ovation at the end. Omedetouuuu, Shingo-kun!!^o^ hehe... our fellow Smappies who are in New York, some of them even get to shake hands with Shingo! Chooo lucky!

Shingo's blog while he's in NY: http://ameblo.jp/talow-tls
TALK LIKE SINGING official website: http://www.tls2010.jp

Then, it has been officially announced that the other 4 SMAP members will arrive at New York on Nov 16th, to have Softbank CM filming AND to watch Shingo's musical together!!*v* Then, for SmaStation Nov 21st, it has been announced that it will be a LIVE broadcast from New York with exclusive guests. I'm thinking if these exclusive guests are SMAP, then they have to stay there for a week!O_O It's almost impossible knowing Nakai's tight schedule, and Kimura-Tsuyoshi are currently filming movies... so maybe just Goro? XD Or maybe either Kimura or Tsuyoshi may have time to stay.

It has been arranged that Tsuyoshi will fill in for IiTomo Monday Nov 16th, so I think it means he'll miss IiTomo Friday. For sure, Nakai will not appear on IiTomo Tuesday Nov 17th, if the Softbank filming schedule is true.

I'm predicting this is their schedule?

Nov 16 - No show for TALK LIKE SINGING. SMAP arrives at New York. Softbank filming with 5 of them.
Nov 17/18 - All 4 members watch the musical together.
Nov 21 - All four or just some of them guests SmaStation LIVE from New York.

I'd really appreciate it if SMAPxSMAP staff are coming to New York too!! *crossing fingers*

So, our fellow US Smappies had been interviewed by FujiTV, and they say they will air it on Tokudane in Monday morning. Haha, excited to be able to see Lori again on screen!!^^

So far, celebrities that came to watch the musical is Fergie and Will.I.Am. I really hope Cameron Diaz or Will Smith come to watch too, they have been to SxS several times XDDD

And I'm looking forward for Japanese celebrities to come too!! I have a strong feeling Yamamoto Koji will go and watch it in New York!!*v* As for Arisa... I guess she'll watch in Tokyo next year, as she's busy with drama filming now, hehe XD

I feel really hyped with all these excitement!


Onto the Actresses news...

MATSU TAKAKO - ahh... the irony, she just came back from Los Angeles a few months ago finishing her album recording in a studio at LA XD If only she record that NOW, Kimura might invite her to come to NY too XD
Anywayyy, she has an upcoming movie, KOKUHAKU (Confession), a very dark drama and Matsu plays a juniorhigh teacher (also single mother) who quit because she was 100% sure that her daughter was murdered by two of the students in that school. She swears that she'll get her revenge and she even spread HIV virus to the school. Kowaaaiii~ O_O Co-starring Kimura Yoshino and Okada Masaki. Premieres June 2010.

NAKAMA YUKIE - Oh my Gooooddd!!! TRICK The Movie 3 'Spritualist Battle Royal'!!!! Ahhhh, its Nakama-Abe-Namase combi again!!! I'm so excited! Gosh, God knows what a TRICK freak I am! XD Premieres Spring 2010.
She also has another new movie with Sakai Masato, Bushi no Kakeibo (Household Accounts of the Samurai), Nakama-Sakai plays husband and wife who are very calculating. It's jidaigeki/period movie, but I think it's not action, probably comedy, coz the theme is about married couple who only thinks profits they can get. Will start filming on Dec 3rd, and will finish filming in the end of January. Will premiere next year.
When will that Kouhaku NakaNaka presscon will beeeeeeeeee???????????

KANNO MIHO - She just finished filming 2 movies. Permanent Nobara with Eguchi Yosuke. And GENE WALTZ, a medical movie, she plays as obstetrician. Premieres Autumn 2010. I think she can get her vacation now. Please, let the destination be New York *v* *crossing fingers*

TAKEUCHI YUKO - She is currently filming a movie with Kusanagi Tsuyoshi!! "Boku to Tsuma no 1778 Monogatari" (Me and My Wife's 1778 Stories). About a pair of husband and wife, and the wife is dying from cancer. I should've been more happy about this movie. But since I had been hoping for a TsuRena movie in the near future, I can't help but to feel disappointed knowing the wife role doesn't go to Rena XDDD

Another sensational news on her is that she is currently starring a new science fiction American series, FlashForward!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlashForward_(TV_series)
She first appeared in Episode 7, "The Gift", appeared in one of the character's future flashes and she had no dialogue yet. But according to the news article I read, her character will be involved more and more with the main characters in many scenes in later episodes.
Well.... if she has to film a scene in America for this series, this month. I'd say better not be too surprise if she show up in New York, watching TALK LIKE SINGING musical as an audience XD
