Tokujo Kabaschi, update info. Yesterday Christmas eve we are filming (tears) as it seems people might complain us we made such script book. Kato director kneel down on the ground even in the pages. He apologizes for 15 times. Sakurai-kun gives us Christmas present of cute cookies to staffs. As he wanted to taste Christmas feeling at least. He prepared them previous day. How wonderful leader! So we Kabachi group follow him we next year too. Today we report poster shooting. He saw various characters shot before him on the PC screen. He instantly laughed saying wonderful. Seems he felt pressure. He says “Yossha!!” put spirit and stand in front of camera. All of us felt sorry about Sakurai-kun and Maki-chan. As they must be swamped by deep character co-stars. It was not need to worry about it. As you see Sakurai-kun on the top page. He did facial expression more than we expected. He shows various expression in the drama too, please look forward to it.
Cyzo, <The original of movie “Ohoku” starring Ninomiya and Shibasaki is rape!?> Popular comic Ohoku filmized. Leading roles are Kazunari Ninomiya of Arashi and Ko Shibasaki. Both challenge samurai drama for the first time. The role of Ninomiya is young man, Yunojin Mizuno who is son of Hatamoto and skilled in sword. He decided to enter inner palace to take husband for older sister and leave a girl of childhood friend in town. Ohoku full of men has many risks of abuse and rape, it is role of single-minded young man who gets through his own hardiness. Mizuno in original is high height good looking guy. I wonder if he can handle the role who is extremely good looking guy in good looking guys’ paradise. And Shibasaki act Shogun Yoshimune. Yoshimune is manlike, iron health, brave woman who prefers material arts by herself. She cut in workforce in large scale to solve financial problem of government, she works on simplicity and economy. In contrast she is play girl. She prefer ugly guy in Ohoku (inner palace) She rapes a guy who clean the garden during day, such a free-wheeling character. But she was not good looking setting. She was depicted without make-up. Seems slightly different from image of Ko Shibasaki… Movie writer says “It won’t be same as image of original. Director is TBS’s Kaneko and producer is also TBS’s Isoyama. These 2 did Kisarazu Cat’s eye world serial. What 2 bring into action is comical line. Recently they work at “Little princess” it is done like not neither comedy, nor serious, nor school drama. And audience rate and reputation are not good. So to make break Ohoku as movie, it is highly possible no to depict faithfully like original and to arrange it comically.” At production announcement Kaneko directory says “Ninomiya-san and Shibasaki-san is best character to realize this world of view. The acting of 2 must make this movie real and emotional. But I don’t want this would be “rape of original comic” for fans of original comics.
