Today's Tokyo forecast: 22℃/13℃/ 20%

UPDATE check also my updated @yamakaze0672

New AU CM aired. you can watch CM
Yomiuri < Movie review, Gantz Perfect Answer.> humans who must have dead are ordered to fight against enemy called aliens by enigma black sphere. the identity of Gantz and its goal are unknown. If you get 100 points by fights, you can be free or you can make some one back to live. this movie adaption of popular comic. Leading role is Kurono and Kato, childhood friends. Kurono kept fighting with mate in order to make Kato back to live. but Gantz pick Tae, Kurono’s girl friend as target. Kurono antagonize his mates to save Tae. fun of special effect  was fully shown in previous piece. part of SF was its highlight. but this time action was put forward. Sword action that is called “Gantz Sward” is wonderful. This is not like Japanese samurai movie movement. this is  tricky and speedy movement that was used wire action-rich like Hong Kong kung fu movie. fight a gun battle in the running train or in the street. Sward action as much as Hong Kong movie is developed. I was amazed by its strength and coolness. this could be the best part of Yuji Shimomura, action director who had his carrier under best Hong Kong Kung fu star Donnie Yen. He did stunt coordinator for “Shurayuki Hime” with Sato director.He use to be flourished mainly with low cost piece. He made spectacular action in the large scale movie using Ninomiya and Matsuyama, both say “I’m not good at action.” Another highlight is ; the original still continue but movie is completed. what kind of answer will have to the various mysteries that were shown in previous piece. if I say conclusion, only that part you might feel not completely satisfied. as it ends without being solved many mysteries. as original continue this can’t be help, but it’s not only that.the story is getting scale-up in the original and depict fate of world. but in the movie, how a young guy, Kurono personally accepts his fate is depicted. 2 hours and 21 minutes.

Ohno-kun which hand is your dominant hand? heh, hum. originally left handed. Me too, in fact. me too, you know, at first I eat with left hand. then my mother fixed it to right hand, all of it. well, basically I’m right handed. Trump. like this, move it horizontally, rather say distribute. I don’t know why, the small matter is reverse. The other day I did magic at show. that time I though I’m bad. teacher, me, the number and icon can’t be come out, as it’s reverse. “well, it’s fine” said kind of that. Me I confuse various matter too. it’s fine. let’s confuse each other! from Hitomi-san “I challenge 5km marathon, I do jogging listing to Arashi tune everyday. thank you for many cheering songs.” hum, Hitomi-san I want you to listen Arashi tune. but some time please listen “theme music of Rocky.” during run. me in my early times when I did marathon it was theme mucis of Rocky. when you get tired, that time this could be theme of Rocky. oh, this is contrary, when you get timed, it’s Arashi tune. well after all please listen. he he he. next from Nakky-san. “do you have any tip to cut your hair? have you ever told ‘did you cut your hair by your self?’” hum, right, hair basically can be cut by yourself.

[rika-rin.livejournal.com]

Aah~ I hope we have a video of that stage greeting in Osaka. :3

[fullthrottle86.livejournal.com]

NinoYuri pair had Marco Porori shooting in Osaka. It'll be aired on the 17th. Maybe we can expect a bit of the stage greeting to be shown there...
Lol, "final answer", I wonder why she's so airheaded in every Gantz stage greeting while she's actually not like that in konzen tokkyu stage greeting. Nervous in front of a large audience?

[rika-rin.livejournal.com]

Marco Porori is on KTV right? I hope someone records it. I don't think KeyHole has KTV. D:

X3 I haven't seen her Konzen Tokkyuu Stage Greeting, but if she wasn't an airhead then.. Maybe it's because of Nino? HAHAHA. Well, I can wish, right? X3

[fullthrottle86.livejournal.com]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOkVAklCk38&feature=fvst
Yea, Keyhole doesn't have KTV. Well, she does have the tendency to depend on Nino in every gantz stage greeting, occasionally looking for his help and confirming with him that she doesn't say anything weird (based on the reports I've read). She trusts and respects Nino a lot.
If you've ever read her interviews and Nino's more serious impression of her in magazine interviews, you'll know that she's not as much as an airhead the media made her out to be. Though she sometimes does have difficulties in verbalizing her thoughts and have the tendency to sidetrack from the main point of a conversation, she's actually quite a deep, philosophical, perceptive, mature/broad-minded and smart girl despite the fact that she's only 22 years old. Not to mention that she has an idiosyncratic way of expressing her thoughts. You won't expect her saying things like the following only from watching her variety show appearances:
"I'd rather keep secrets to myself. The moment a secret is told to somebody, it can't be called a secret anymore."
When asked about her thoughts on affair: "If the nature of the affair is only of physical relationship (i.e. her partner only seeks sexual pleasure from his affair partner) and his heart belongs to me, I think I will be able to forgive him. If a tire is not properly inflated, it'll flatten. The valve through which it is inflated might be in the form of affair. A relationship where you tie down/keep a leash on your partner, without giving him freedom cannot last long." Etc...
Btw, she called Nino a hentai in Nippon Eiga Navi vol. 27, LOL....

[rika-rin.livejournal.com]

Aah~ Thank you for the link and the translations! I'm actually waiting for someone to translate their interviews. While I can understand some conversations when I hear them, I can't really read Kanji so.. :] It looks to me like they're having fun in each other's company. And LOL at Yuriko calling Nino a hentai. XD

I saw the scans of Nippon Eiga Navi Vol. 27 and saw the interviews part, I remember posting a blog in which I said I hope someone translates the interviews. XD Even just posting a romaji will do. X3

[fullthrottle86.livejournal.com]

Nippon Eiga Navi is really readworthy. It really shows their amazing dynamics, +they practically praised each other throughout the second page. =) I'm not good at putting words together for translation, so I'll just summarize the hentai part. You remember the shocking statement she made in HnA about wanting to keep human pets right? She actually has talked about it before with Nino (Rewatch the episode and you'll see Nino's covering his mouth, laughing 'cuz he's already familiar with the topic XD). She just dropped the topic casually out of nowhere when she said she has no interest in animals. She'd rather have human pets who she can spend her time without having to fuss about anything. But Nino quickly replied that with human pets, you can understand their feelings, unlike animals who can only make unfathomable utterance.
Yuriko: "The way he can come up with a quick response in the matter in 2-3 seconds is at the level of a hentai."
Nino: "Who is! Your way of praising is weird!"
Yuriko: "The part of him which is a little bit of a hentai is Ninomiya Kazunari's appeal."
LMAO.

+What I really like about this pair is that despite the fact that they get along very well with each other (she even mentioned that Nino is the only friend she made during Gantz filming, Nihon Eiga Magazine vol 19), they don't show their friendliness by keeping a distance between them in front of the media, so as not to make racket. There are actually many NinoYuri episodes during Gantz filming:
1. They call each other Chris and Smith during the filming. (Source: Gantz Twitter)
2. Nino taught her how to moonwalk. (Source: Gantz Twitter)
3. When Nino was having a magazine interview in one of the filming locations (Housei University?), she held a reflector board for him. (Source: Gantz Twitter)
4. They did mune-kyun shiritori non-stop for a friggin' three hours. LOL (Source: Yuriko's mag solo interview, I forgot which mag)
5. This one is really special: After a certain filming is finished and the staffs and casts were all drinking together, Yuriko, who's brimming with curiosity, asked Nino about his way of acting (he often adlibs his lines), and Nino said: "I seldom do this, let's talk about acting!" And the two discuss about acting theory together. (Source: Gantz Twitter)
6. And this one also sparks my interest: The two discussed about how to act out Kurono and Tae's climax scene. They added a nuance to their play that's a bit different from the script. Nino said that they expanded on the script a bit but the result more or less follows the script. He even mentioned that Yuriko is similar to him, in a sense that she likes to challenge different possibilities and the image of the scene that they have in their head is pretty much close to each other. (Source: +act May 2011?, Nihon Eiga Mag vol 19)
