HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2008! yeah!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
i still have 2 wait till tonight, but i know it's already new year in the Asia-Pacific region.
i hope 2008 will bring greater success 4 our beloved toma,
and the whole year, for toma-chan & all toma fans, can be like the fireworks show below,
BRIGHT, HAPPY, EXCITING, AND BEAUTIFUL!
あけましておめでとうございます!
(Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu!)
[australia is known 4 it's AWESOME fireworks shows, i think? and this 1 is really great! enjoy!]
NOW i get it....pretty boys / boys like u / fiona!
[screencap f/fiona's "boys like u" MV]i recently went to this cool site that subs all kinds of asian dramas looking 4 a tv series by my fav hk singer miriam (who is also the tough girl in my current profile icon. haha.) :
http://doremiiscale.blogspot.com/2007/06/love-at-first-fight-project.html
and the banner that was there, but isn't now, had a pic of the guys from that singing taiwanese guy group, fahrenheit. and the text said "we do it all for the bishies". and i didn't know what that meant, but i guessed that bishies had something 2 do with good-looking guys. i looked it up and i found out it was short for Bishōnen (according 2 wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bish%C5%8Dnen) and read up on the term.
.....and NOW i get it!! i mean, the kinda image toma has.
he is certainly a bishie, although it's often his gestures more than his looks that is girl-like.
but i definitely like toma when he looks like a guy more than the times where they purposely make him look feminine! though toma's got the kinda face where he can look kinda like a pretty girl. =) (BUT it's funny---when he had 2 dress up as a girl twice in hana kimi, he totally still looks like a GUY, not girly-looking at all!) i guess part of the appeal of a bishie is that they can be non-threatening/very gentle seeming and u can relate 2 them more if they kinda look like a girl?
i was surprised, cuz i don't see this trend in hk or the usa at all, i'm not used 2 thinking of affeminate guys as being the most popular.....in hk, affeminate guy artists R still joked about as being gay. but now that i think of it, in taiwan, there have been many "pretty boys" that have been popular so many years now. and i kept thinking why do these guys all have long hair and look like girls sometimes. now i get it!!
i also understand what fanservice is now. haha....
i live in the usa and i don't know much about anime and this kinda stuff...but now i know.
it's funny that fans like 2 imagine guys they like...
liking other guys??
but i guess it's kinda the same as guys that have the fantasy of girls kissing girls.
..............
............................................................
though some girls might like the idea of their idol liking another guy,
if u seriously think about it, liking a guy that is gay would indeed be really frustrating/painful!!
it makes me think of fiona sit's song from a couple years back called "boys like you".
and that's right, it's about her liking a guy friend that is gay.
u can watch the MV here. i really like this song, and it was an award-winning song, too.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=I63wxA4XHwM
[here R the translated 2 eng. lyrics, really GOOD lyrics, but such a sad song! thanks 2 61er for the translation!
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/9/8/209169/boys%20like%20u%20-%20fiona%20%28Trans%20LYRICS%29.txt]
ACTUALLY,
fiona sit is 1 of my fav hk singers,
and toma's fun personality and cuteness really
reminds me of how fiona is!!! she's also really hyper and fun, pretty and cute.
she is a little older than him, though. and she MIGHT already have a boyf, but it's just rumors 4 now. .......they would make a CUTE couple!!! she's already been paired up with a japanese model for her movie Love Undercover 3, too, and i think she's been 2 japan quite a lot 2 film commercials, for vacation, etc..... they could be really happy together!! though the chances R slim, i hope in the future they could have a chance 2 cooperate sometime, even if it's just 4 an ad or something. that'd be so cool!
............................
.................................................................
ANYWAY... my point is:
though bishies R all the rage in japan now, i believe toma would still be popular even if bishies R not, cuz there's just something about toma (besides being incredibly handsome! ^_^) that is SO likeable and unique. it's his fun, hyper personality, it's his smile, it's his voice, it's his..... AWESOMENESS!!! :)
......though at first i kinda was surprised and weirded out by how he acts so...."girl-like" (sorry, i can't think of a better word) sometimes, but i soon got used 2 it and now i really love it when he does it. haha! and anyway, who's to say what is girly and what is boy-y. when u act "cute", most ppl would consider it girly, but why can't guys act "cute" too? there's nothing wrong with that! =P
AND to any haters who say that toma or other bishies like him R gay,
I SAY:
0__0 PLEASE LIGHTEN UP,
this is already the 21st century, stop hating ppl just cuz they're different.
1st of all, there's nothing wrong with being gay, but shame on u for calling ppl gay when u mean it as an insult.
2nd of all, just cuz a guy looks/acts "feminine", doesn't automatically make it proof that he's gay.
3rd of all, u have a right 2 express your opinions (no matter how stupid/bigoted it makes u look), but u don't have the right slander or 2 force your opinions on others! u don't have 2 listen 2 me either, i'm just SAYING WHAT I THINK. but ppl that hate 4 sure R not as happy as ppl that love. and without doubt, the TOMA LOVE that exists all over the world far exceeds any toma hate.
SO THERE!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! / toma singing xmas songs.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
this is from 2005, but i never get tired of watching toma singing xmas songs, especially in this specific show, cuz he's so happy and enthusiastic as he's singing! & of course, the really cute head rub with yamapi, him flirting with the camera when it was in back of every1, and him jumping down 2 be next 2 the dancers at the end R some classic SUPER CUTE toma moments that u must not miss!!! 1 of the first times i ever saw him singing was actually the white christmas song, and i was really impressed that his english sounds so good! =P and he looks so good in that outfit....i've also noticed this...most of the time, toma's got a great fashion sense!! of course, since he's a model too, right? haha....
ENJOY! if u haven't watched these video clips, you'll LOVE it!
if u already watched, you'll still LOVE IT!! =)
the last clip, from a diff show, is toma singing "melting snow". i really like the song, and it's also 1 of the first clips i watched of him singing.

CintheRB screencaps/ he's too good 2 be true! / crazy fans/ TOMA'S BLOG! / etc.
i'm uploading the screencaps (49!) i got from the musical. u can see them at the last pages of my gallery here: http://s227.photobucket.com/albums/dd87/ilovetoma/
I HAVE 2 REALLY THANK A VERY KIND PERSON AT THE TOMA Livejournal site that upload the whole CAT IN THE RED BOOTS musical for everyone a while back! i only recently was able to watch it, and i thought it was pretty cool! of course, i don't speak japanese, so if i understood it, i surely would like it more. haha.
i really liked watching toma... it's got a really strange story and some really weird characters! but nora the cat is really really pretty and cute, wow. she and toma R the most good-looking and most likeable in whole cast, and i love both of their costumes! especially toma's simple white shirt & jacket and gray/blue jeans. haha! wow, didn't expect so much shouting from toma and every1 else. really wish i could understand what they're saying! i fast-forwarded thru most of the non-toma parts...but every1 is really good at acting out their characters, though everything is exagerrated, but i guess it's supposed 2 be that way. i wasn't gonna get any scaps, but then i back-tracked and got some anyway. haha. couldn't resist.
ANYWAY, of course toma looks so awesome, though he is shouting way 2 much. but every1 was shouting a lot...haha. they must really get tired f/all that shouting! and some parts, u can see how toma is sweating so much--the close-ups of his face! poor guy! i think i've said it be4, but it's really cool how he's SO GOOD-LOOKING, but he also doesn't mind making funny/weird faces, and he can also act so dorky sometimes, but it's still believable!! haha. i recognize some of his gestures/faces that he uses often as nakatsu and some other characters. ;) he especially looks soooooo cute + cool with his hair all messed up and covering his eyes!!!! waaah!!! ok, ok. that's enough. hehe...
overall the play was pretty good! i'd like 2 watch it again with subtitles!!! i loved how most of the costumes looked great, and had some kinda flowy fabric. toma's sword-fighting scenes were very cool!! but less spinning, more fighting! haha. the making-of was fun 2 watch, all the preparation, the hard work that went into this production!!! got 2 see silly toma as well as serious toma, nervous toma, casual & very young-looking toma!
(above screencaps from the Toma Ikuta - Sexy Back by yingadingding. it's been deleted, but been re-uploaded here. haha.: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YLkU1w97FHg)don't u sometimes look at toma and think he's too cute to be real? lol!!
too good 2 be true!!
but he is! but sometimes when u look at him,
u almost think he's like too perfect 2 be real?!?!
i gotta keep reminding myself sometimes,
HE'S JUST A REGULAR GUY, JUST CALM DOWN!!!!
don't get me wrong though,
i really like toma,
but i'm not 1 of those extreme fans that
get a little too crazy...i'm more like the
fan that just wants 2 support him and i'm happy
if he's successful and i get 2 listen 2 his music/
see him in dramas/ etc. if i ever got a chance
2 meet him, i'd probably freeze up and get really quiet...
instead of like some fans who would scream or go crazy or something. haha.
i sometimes read news about fans that practically attack their idols or
chase after their cars or even propose 2 them! um...so i guess my point is that
fans should just calm down and not get too crazy obsessed...especially when they meet their idol, or else ppl could get hurt and u would definitely scare your idol!
...................
it's really frustrating 4 me to listen/watch toma and not understand what he's saying.....i'm gonna try 2 learn some basic japanese or maybe more later. if any1 knows any good online sites where i can learn basic japanese 4 free, pls tell me! THANK YOU! i mean, ARIGATOU! =)
......................
YESS!!! TOMA'S BLOG IS GONNA BE BACK SOON, 4 GOOD! and more good news below:

HE'S TOMA!

Oricon has released the results of its end-of-the-year survey asking men and women who they thought was the most successful young star of 2007. With two thousand people participating in the survey, the answers were actress Yui Aragaki and comedian Yoshio Kojima.
Aragaki has had a phenomenal year, which included her first starring roles in film and television, the start of a music career, and an increase in commercials. Erika Sawajiri, who ranked 2nd among female celebrities, also saw similar success this year, though it was marred by the "Closed Note" PR incident.
The rest of the women's top five were Kanako Yanagihara, Sumiko Nishioka (the oldest of the list at 33), and Maki Horikita.
Kojima easily topped the men's list, as he was ranked first by all age groups. His silly routine has become amazingly popular, and his catchphrase "Sonna no kankei nee" was named one of the top ten "buzzwords of the year."
Shun Oguri was second in the rankings, followed by Yu Darvish, Ryo Ishikawa, and Toma Ikuta.

i don't know much about the plot except what i read at wikipedia...so i didn't really know what 2 expect from this series. but now that i see the trailer, i'm a little worried that i won't like this series. cuz i dunno why, i just don't like the leading actress, there's just something about her that i don't like...and the trailer just gives me a very boring/melodramatic feeling. haha...but this is just a super-short trailer and i could be wrong. just that i prefer comedies over mushy romances that have too much drama or R more draggy and slow-paced.....
BUT toma being the lead actor will DEFINITELY make the series worth watching! ~_~
this is random, but i read somewhere at the livejournal site that toma smokes! i dunno if that's still true now, but i hope not, or that he'll quit later. =/

first clear pic i've seen of toma f/the Honey & Clover drama!
WHOA!
yes!! i know what u're thinking. and all fans have been saying the same thing:
HE LOOKS SO YOUNG! =P
the simple haircut and casual clothes really makes him look like a student! more like a high school student than college student!! well, he's supposed 2 be 19, i think.
he looks more like 16-17, but that's aight. =P
cuz the lead actress looks/IS very young (15, i think?). now they'll match.
(thanks to bloaty! u can see more pics here: http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/100433.html?view=494929#t494929)

but nobody can beat hokuto umeda from the manga. His character is just too complex to be portrayed by the human being. For nanba senpai I seriously prefer the taiwanese than the japanese but still shun n maki wins over. nakatsu japanese is cute almost the same like manga just that he is not as crazy or as lively that neese…FOR NOW…

havent seen the tw version, but right now im totally head-over-hills with the jap version. gee they know how to be funny! not one dull moment, even from the co-characters, every single bit was watchable. however i do have to admit my disappointment as to how the drama not following the manga completely, because the manga rocks. but overall this drama(jap version) got me completely hooked.
p.s shun is so gorgeous ^_^V

I’ve watched both versions, and although the jap version isn’t as faithful to the manga, the casting is MUCH better and the portrayal of the characters is better and more funny. Japan has its own way of doing the humour so its very good. Almost like watching an anime come to life. Taiwanese version is just too quirky for me and all the characters except quan in the taiwanese version were just a bit off. So while both versions were good (in their own ways) i prefer the japanese version! :D
