toma-kun...
there's something about you now
i can't quite figure out
everything he does is beautiful
everything he does is right.

YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMAS!!
ja~ i'll leave it to you.


a quick majo saiban update:
this drama is NOT based on a manga! i was so excited/hyper about this being toma's 1st leading role, i totally didn't notice that in the official news, no one said it's based on a manga (only that it's to tie in w/the jury system starting in japan soon)!! turns out a Fuji TV drama based on that manga IS in the works, but it's only a one-shot (short?) drama. go HERE for the news: http://asianfanatics.net/forum/index.php?s=59e9d0c6cb0f9ea59c3e6495a6e9288c&showtopic=639448

if only we knew this earlier, we wouldn't have to worry about toma's drama being a really short one, right paige? haha.

umm...toma has not updated his blog 4 a long time. not even to talk about Voice coming to an end. ii date (that's fine). toma's only got a short break between Voice's end and starting to film/promote Majo Saiban, so he deserves a break f/blogging and pretty much everything else. =P deshou? (right?) sou des. but i'm sure the next time he posts, it'll be about the new drama in some way.

doushite!? =(

i don't understand why my message never shows up at the message board of the official websites of toma's dramas. maybe they only randomly post up a certain amount of the messages? or is it only 4 ppl in japan?? has any1 else tried posting messages 4 toma there? u can go to
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ to translate the categories f/japanese to yr own language and then fill in the categories. if any1 successfully posts messages there, could u post this one for me (pls post the babelfish-translated version in japanese below, unless u can translate it yrself into japanese 4 me.)? and tell me if u did, so i can go there to see it! arigatou.

[this is just a cute pic of takemoto & hagumi that i wanted to share,
came across it while looking thru my old pics for all these plaid toma pics! ah~ so cute & sweet!!♥]

well then~ i had this idea to gather all of toma's pics where he's wearing red plaid clothing. actually, he wore blue/grey plaid clothing a lot, but i didn't notice until now. haha. he looks so good in plaid, right? i think toma likes wearing plaid...u see him wearing it a lot, even when it's not 4 a photoshoot. in plaid clothes, he looks so boyish/relaxed or smart/stylish!! and lots of my fav toma pics, he's wearing plaid! and of course, takemoto-kun often wore plaid shirts over his t-shirt.♥ toma really is pretty in plaid neeee. and pink plaid is especially pretty on toma!!! of course, i could do the same thing with toma & ties or toma & vests (yappari~ he looks especially awesome in those!), but nanka (somehow)...i'll save that 4 some other time ne.

so! i give u:
Ikuta Toma in Plaid.

[toma's super kawaii nakai impression. *_*
i LOVE his plaid hooded jacket & vest outfit!!]

[*click on the pics 2 see them in the larger/full size!* =) i'm sorry, don't remember where i got all these pics, but i guess most of them R from LJ fans, TFS screencaps, imeem toma groups, baidu, crunchyroll toma group, flickr, or the AF toma thread. the gif, credit goes to: strawberry_gemm! http://strawberry-gemm.livejournal.com/28001.html]
