Toma Ikuta gobsmacked by actor Masakazu Tamura’s charm, but so was Tamura

Actor Masakazu Tamura (67) spoke highly of Toma Ikuta (25) at a press conference in Tokyo today for their upcoming drama, reports Eiga.com.

Both actors are starring in “球形の荒野 (Kyukei no Koya)”, a story set in 1960s Japan. Tamura plays a diplomat who was supposed to have died in Switzerland during the war, while Ikuta plays a detective.

During the press conference, Tamura has been reported to have said he was impressed with Ikuta.

“He’s very good looking and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next,” he said.

Ikuta, who could not make it to the event because of other filming commitments, had sent a message about how he found working with Tamura.

“When I first met him, he was so charming my heart started thumping really loudly.”

Other cast members at today’s event included Yosuke Eguchi (42), Ikuta’s character’s detective partner, and Manami Higa (24), Tamura’s character’s daughter.

“球形の荒野 (Kyukei no Koya)” will go on air in Japan on November 26 and 27.

Yui Aragaki gives fans a chance to stargaze with her

WOW. a 2-day overnight fan club event.
they get to look at daytime stars (???) and have other fun activities. it sounds SO COOL!!! and i've never heard of some1 doing something so unique with her fans. sugoi ne!! ~___~


............summary of toma's room entries:

(OH, TOMA'S GENJI PICS ARE SOOOOO HANDSOME AND COOL. i think i imagined he'd look exactly like this....^////^ wahhhhh....no wonder all the women want him. hehe. and his costumes look so nice!! and heavy... i just don't like his super high hat though. haha.)

after a long while of posting nothing, toma decides to post 2 super long messages, oct. 20 and 21. haha.

he's sorry for not updating and people have been asking him to update it! he's been reading a lot of manga all of a sudden. Uchu Kyodai made him cry and wanna go to outer space. he loves listening to AJIKAN songs over and over. the movie filming is going smoothly. it takes him 1.5 hrs to get his make up done and change into his costume. he's doing research on hitler to prepare for his stage play. very few actors have acted as hitler, so this is a very special role. he'll "take it very seriously and carefully. please look forward to it....it's time for me to go to bed.
good night."

toma's friend from secondary school is acting as his friend in the movie, as the General! matsuya and him thought it would be nice if they could one day work together (though his friend was a Kabuki actor). now it's come true! they only were in the same stage play Stand by Me when they were little, but did not have scenes together. so this is the first real time. toma is reallyyyy happy about it and says "i am very thankful and i will treasure the chance." and yappari, he'll try his best and make this a good movie.

(WOW......THAT'S SO AMAZING!
I'M GLAD TOMA AND HIS FRIEND CAN FINALLY ACT TOGETHER. ~___~)

toma's got so many photoshoots with hats and glasses lately! hehe. especially hats though....sugoi!! mature, stylish toma. ~__~

oh, i included the pics from POTATO again, cuz i LOVE them sooooooooo MUCH. but i just realized while making icons out of them...that pic of toma looking to the left (his right). OMG!!! what's that twisted, scary-looking thing near the shelf!!! I THINK THAT IS TOMA'S VEINY HAND. O___O i guess they didn't notice how changing the colors of the pic made toma's hand look so scary. KOWAI. gahhhhhhh......!!

oh, i'm including 1 older pic, cuz i didn't post a big enough pic. toma + nagase!! ^__^ and toma wearing a HAT again! hehe. oh, and i always love toma + rain/umbrella pics!! though they're mostly kinda moody, grey-ish pics....

I LOVE THE LIBRARY PICS. reminds me of my 2nd fic....aww....even though toma looks so annoyed/bored in the pics. haha!! and his outfit is so similar to the one he wore in a photoshoot at a toy store in 2008!! did u notice that too?? and of course, TOMA + GLASSES = LOVE!! (but those glasses look too fake. hmm...)

........................some highlights and comments from EPISODES #6-8 of UnuDeka. =D


HEY~ HEY~ HEY~!
episode 6 was about sadame!!

^_^ my fav quotes from that episode:

--it finally happened to me too! my destined girl, u know?

--ah let me just tell u now. i'm super stupid, see?
though if i keep my mouth shut i'm good-looking, so...

it was a nice episode, but as expected, the love story didn't really go anywhere. but it was sweet that they did hold hands and kinda shared an apartment. ~___~ though i don't think she matches with him that much, but she does look attractive, in a subtle way, i guess. and kind and sweet. hmm...and there were some super hot/cute/touching toma moments!! i loved the part where he yelled "it doesn't matter!" like the way nakatsu would, with that accent too!! heehee!! xD

ep.s 7 and 8 were ok....
seems like the cases keep making less and less sense, and the ladies that unubore falls for keep getting less and less pretty too. LOL. but it was cool to see unubore as the bartendar in ep.7 and the ending was so funny (and i love how the colorful ferris wheel is featured)!! episode 8....it was fun to see unubore and his dad interact more and argue and fight over the same woman (who was 1 of the women toma was with for ningen!! ehhhh!!). hehe. it's reallyyy hard to believe that unubore would fall in love with her so quick though (and why???)!! oh well. xD looking forward to watching the last 3 episodes....

u can see the screencaps below (and some others) full size here:

...............OFF-TOPIC. some reasons to KEEP (some) FEAR ALIVE.

Foreigners victims, perpetrators of sekuhara

*sigh* THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY. THIS IS WHY SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS A GUY. of course, guys are also sexually harassed, but it's certainly a much much bigger and dangerous problem for women all over the world. like i said before, i love japan, but i really can't stand certain things about it...u can read my comment there, so i won't repeat myself here.

while we're on the subject,
something else that is really scary are BED BUGS. their numbers are increasing worldwide. i don't want to say it's a pandemic, but....good grief. i guess it might be going that way. please be especially careful when u're at a hotel or dorm. that's where they're often found. they're sneaky little pests (about the size of a grain of rice?) and they are SUPER hard to get rid of. O___O


oh, i read somewhere that lavender oil can prevent them from getting near u. hmm.

but i felt like everyone should know.
