TOMA'S 2 AWARDS AND SADE/HITLER BUTAI NEWS. YEYYYYYYYY! (*edited* added toma's msg from 2/21)

hi hi!!
it's kate.
my bday month is almost over.
noooooooo!! =T
but at least during this special month, toma received his first ever film awards!! wow!! but...i found out from jamie-chan (http://twitter.com/jamieism) it's colddddddd and been snowing in japan a lot this month!! =T lucky toma hasn't caught a cold.

i've said all those stuff be4 about how happy and proud i am of him, so i won't repeat myself, but...SEEING THEM HANDING HIS AWARDS TO HIM MADE ME SOOOOO HAPPY. CUZ HE GOT IT!! ^_^ HE'S HOLDING IT IN HIS HANDS. THOSE AWARDS REPRESENT SO MUCH...TOMA'S HARD WORK...HIS RECOGNITION AS AN ACTOR...HE'S REALLY A BIG STAR NOW...~___~ and he looked soooooo handsome and classy for both events, and his hair and clothes for the junpo awards was so perfect and cool!! (so glad his hair is shorter and stylish in the back, at least!)

i'm so happy for him! *-*
and he thanked his fans for his blue ribbon award speech!! awww....he doesn't really mention his fans much. i wish he would more. xD (i dunno what he said for his junpo award speech, but probably he also thanked his fans)

(wahhh! i love this pic the most!! his 84th kinema junpo Best New Artist award looks sooooooo cool! kinda like an Oscar! xD he received his award on feb.20~~)

i hope from now on, toma can get a lot more interesting/different roles...of course i love his funny or romantic roles, but it would be nice to see him playing some kinda role that is not typical to have a johnnys actor playing it. more challenging roles... toma, in an interview, said he wanted to try playing an assasin!! omggg...O_O i don't wanna see him like that, but i'm sure he could play even that kinda role convincingly!

oh, i wanna talk about this first cuz i hope you all can VOTE FOR TOMA!!!

Who is Johnny Entertainment’s best actor?

"This year, Ikuta Toma, one of the very few talents within the agency who are solely focusing on acting, was the first Johnny’s talent to win an acting award in the 54 year-long history of the “Blue Ribbon Awards“.

Is Ikuta just one single shimmering light of hope among countless of cringeworthy idols-turned-actors? No. There are a few more Johnny’s talents that can actually act, and the mobile portal of goo/NTT DoCoMo have asked their users which of them have been delivering the best acting performances so far."

toma got 3rd place on the poll!!! YEY!!!
PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM ON THE UNOFFICIAL POLL THERE *NOW*!!! THANKS!!


ABOUT TOMA WINNING THE BLUE RIBBON AWARD.....(on feb.16?)
http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/664663.html
Toma Ikuta makes it to Blue Ribbon awards just in time

"I never thought I’d get an amazing award like this so I feel very honoured.

Ikuta had received his award for his work in “人間失格 (Ningen Shikkaku)” and “ハナミズキ (Hanamizuki)”. It has been reported “Ningen Shikkaku” movie distributor Kadokawa’s CEO Tsuguhiko Kadokawa was also in the crowd watching over Ikuta’s win.

'First of all I want to thank Mr Kagokawa for bringing me into the world of film, my father, my mother, and all of my fans,' Ikuta said as he bowed."

Ikuta Toma Makes It To Blue Ribbon Awards Just In Time
u can go here to read lotsa comments by toma fans, so happy about this news!!!!)

(***IF U WANNA SEE MORE PICS AND VIDEO CLIPS
OF THESE AWARDS SHOWS
OR TOMA'S BUTAI'S,
THEN GO TO THE COOL LJ STUFF SECTION
BELOW, IN THIS POST!!***)

AND ABOUT TOMA'S PLAYS...
hmm...from the video clips i've seen, toma looks very natural as a girl and he does look very hitler-ish (though the mustache and sweeped to 1 side hair makes him look kinda funny. xD)!! i know this isn't saying much, but it's still toma ne...he still has a certain way of talking or moving or certain expressions that is so toma-like. hehe. even in these extreme roles, he seems pretty comfortable with himself. (but i wanna see him in the other dresses, not just the yellow one!! fuuuu...)
also, some fans were saying he looks hot as hitler!! lol. i think he still looks handsome, and that black suit is nice, but he's still supposed to be hitler and that mustache and hair....i can't be attracted to him when he looks like that!! xD

after reading about a fan who went to see his madame de sade play, i found out he doesn't show up much in that play!! ehhhh! i guess since he's doing 2 plays in one day, they take turns being the main character. it's like in the poster, that's their main role. toma's the lead in the hitler one, and higashiyama is the lead in madame de sade.

here's some news about the butai! =P heehee....xD
http://tesshimassu.livejournal.com/52075.html#cutid1
Toma studied Yu Aoi for his role as a woman

"It has been reported Ikuta had said he was comfortable with his female self.

'I think I look quite cute.'

The talent continued to say his role model was actress Yu Aoi.

'I’m trying to stay as natural, and bubbly cute as I can. (Aoi-san) had visited me during rehearsals and said I looked pretty,' he said."

............ toma's messages' (summary):
(credit: jessica and mizza. see the full messages at the toma's room LJ! http://community.livejournal.com/toma_room)

the first day of the plays were great! he's really happy his dream of acting at the Cocoon theater came true. he spent his 1 day off after many shows reading ONE PIECE before bed. xD he said he talked to Tomorrow's Joe (yamapi's new movie), and reminds everyone the movie will be released tomorrow. "Stand up~!!!!" (quote from the movie)

he heard about a snow storm coming the next day, so he posted an entry at midnight asking people to be careful if they're coming (and even if they're not coming) to see his play.

toma made it to the award ceremony just in time (it started soon after that day's madame de sade show ended) and was very very happy to be able to receive this award. when he came back to the cocoon hall, everyone lined up in the hallway to congratulate him with firecrackers!!

"a day of joy,
this is a day i will never forget."

(awwwww.... ~______~ you should really see his whole message! he also posted pics of the award, which looks like a fancy scroll with a blue ribbon tied around it! sugoi!!
http://community.livejournal.com/toma_room/22758.html)

(thanks to jessica 4 this translation~! please go see toma's whole long entry here: http://community.livejournal.com/toma_room/24849.html. credit: jessica, mizza, Tr)

toma says he's so proud that he can win this award and that it is very heavy! and he hopes he can win for best actor or best supporting actor some day.

"Getting an award is awesome.

The moment I looked at this trophy…
I thought about my past and future.

Thank you everyone.

By the way.

I fell off the stage, but didn't get hurt, please don't worry about me.
I was working too hard~"

(WHEW, I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT ALL THIS BUTAI STUFF SOON, CUZ I'M NOT FINISHED GOING THRU ALL THOSE STUFF YET, SORRY. HEHE.)

like i was saying at toma's room...
toma looks kinda funny/weird in his costume!! hehe.
i guess he still looks pretty nice actually, but
wow.....he does not look like a woman, really??
hahaha....i think they did their best though!

i guess his face is not suited to dress like this though....
xDDDDDDD he doesn't look so good as a woman. LOL.
but the more pics i see, the better he looks...so that's good. xD it just takes more time to get used to it. hehe.

oh, in his newest entry, feb. 1, toma said the double play finally started, "We are in the Fighting mode over here. Please look after me." GAMBATTE, TOMA and everyone working on the butai!!!!! (credit: jessica, mizza)

Winners of the 53rd “Blue Ribbon Awards” announced

This year’s “Rookie of the Year” award went to Sakuraba Nanami for her role in “The Last Chushingura” and to Ikuta Toma for his movie debut “Ningen Shikkaku” (The Fallen Angel). It is the first time in the long history of the award that an active Johnny’s talent has won in one of the categories.

Proudly he stated, “I have always felt like a leftover not fit for any group within the agency. I love to act and the ratio of successful applicants for a position as an actor isn’t that high within the agency, thus I decided that this is what I want to do. However, I have still continuously been trying to find out where I am actually standing right now and it really means a lot to me to be the first of my agency to win one of the awards.”

---and a longer, kinda different version of this news i saw at AF, thanks to meoinkie2:

http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/659650.html
(us toma fans talking about how happy we are for toma!! ^_^)

toma wrote a cute, short message about how happy he is to win this award. "This is once-in-a-lifetime chance to get this award. I'm very glad." then he said the actor who was the captain of unubore 5 in the drama was the first sempai to call him to congratulate him, and he went into sadame hyper mode!! lol. you should read his whole message here!!

wah, so much this time!! xD
i love that girly/pretty toma genji pic!!!!
and of course, the super cool good vs bad toma and the black & white kakkoii toma pics, and the myojo outdoors pics more scarf-y tomaaaa!!!♥
i dunno why they want toma to keep his hair long for his butai (wanted hitler to have a new image? eh??), but i really don't like how they style his long hair sometimes. =T they should just pin it up all the time (cuz he looks soooo good~~ like that!) or tie it back or something. hmm....(oh, and i know i shouldn't complain, but i wish toma's mag scans weren't so huge and we have to DL it from mediafire so much now. zoe used to upload them to imageshack and post them up, so we can see them. but her site has a password now. *cries*)

















(the nonno black/white toma pics remind me of this pic from 2007 or 2008. kawaii + kakkoii!!!)

.............random toma stuff

I FOUND OUT THAT JOHNNYS HAS A STUPID RULE, THAT WHEN A JOHNNYS GUY TURNS 30, he can no longer appear in the idol magazines (DUET, POTATO, WINKUP) every month. he'll only appear if he has something to promote. awww....i wanna keep seeing toma every month in those magazines, even after he's 30! O___O *sigh* it's not fair. ohno is 30 now, so the rule already affects him and arashi. the news about ohno not being in those magazines anymore here:
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/741860-arashi-stops-appearing-in-idol-magazines-ohno-is-too-old/?s=26aaacf8e9eddd2522f40cbd6ee7de90


P.S........
https://shanalogic.com/index.php
I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE RECENTLY. IT'S GOT A TON OF CUTE AND QUIRKY/COOL, AND ESPECIALLY JAPAN-Y, KAWAII STUFF THERE!! YOU'VE GOTTA CHECK IT OUT! IT'S KINDA PRICEY, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THERE THAT'S US$10 OR LESS TOO. i think they ship everywhere in the world...xD (i'm not an affiliate or anything, i just love the stuff there, and i think you would be interested in this stuff too. hehe. ^_~)

and this place only sells stylish clothes and accessories from Japan. ships in the usa only...i got this super cute and soft bear hoodie, but the apricot-colored version (it looks white in the pic, but it's really a beige color. lol.) hehe. it's my bday present for myself this year. ^////^

(oh, i also linked to both these sites on the right side of my blog. hehe. ^__^)

------------------------my thoughts about UNUBORE, Ep.s 9-11 (FINALLY!!! xD)

i finally got around to watching the last episode of unubore last month!!! whew! finally done!

i think mostly everyone has finished it,
BUT IF ANYONE HAS NOT FINISHED IT,
PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT THE SCREENCAPS, or read my comments,
THERE ARE SOME MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

unubore stayed silly and fun until the very end neeeee!
i'll miss this drama sooooo much!!! i hope the next drama toma's in will be a wacky, happy one like this....or actually a romantic comedy would be soooo nice too! xD

okie....
so my thoughts about each episode.

episode 9 was ok...
it was fun to see unubore act like a little boy around his mom. haha!! and the flaming darts were cool!! i feel sorry for that lady, but that's no reason to set fire to people's houses!! well...most of the episodes later on, the reason why the lady did whatever bad thing didn't make much sense to me. LOL.


episode 10 was awesome!!
toma shows up a lot, the girl and her mom are both pretty, and she's a huge fan of sadame!!! hehe. the reason for the murder was SO stupid, but it was funny how unubore slept in the same bed with saeki and a whole bunch of mistaken gay-ness was going on. xD too bad toma wasn't able to use nakatsu's phrase, "homo janai!". ^o^ unbelievably, i spent most of the episode thinking "that lady looks so familiar!". not until the end of the episode did i recognize that she's the majo from majo saiban!!!!!! LOL. really!! oh, and of course toma x nagase dancing was SO AWESOME!! =P awww...i wanna see toma dancing more!!



episode 11, the finale!
wah....toma in the sauna scene!! total fanservice. fufufu. toma half naked and sweaty, looking at a guy's...knee!! but i was distracted by how THIN toma looked! =T toma still looked so cute in the WHITE makeup and that funny costume. heehee. he had to run away.....awww!! and unubore was like, were they mean to you? xD awww.... the UNUBORE 5 dancing together was cool! toma and nagase looked the coolest, of course, and toma was kinda flirty and girly while dancing!! *_* in this episode, i felt so sorry for saeki. =T i kinda wish rie got to say sorry to him or something. but the part where they rescue her was funny! xD and finally, they get married in a church and she looks so beautiful in the dress and veil and all!! some of the ppl from the police station showed up!!!! LOL!!!!!! xDDDD aww....but he arrests her again!! awww....but it's okie, cuz he'll wait for her. hehe. but he STILL falls for women sometimes???? aiya... i guess he'll never change! sadame got to be in a japan/usa movie!!! awww.....zombie of the dead sounds like akihabara of the dead...remember? xD hehehe. and of course, he's a dead guy, after all! THE END.





-------- fav quotes from: ep 9

-want to come over? it's a net cafe though.

-not like him? nonsense! who does that woman think she is!?

-grandma...grandma... grandma...
-sorry, i'm a real grandma's boy. xD

-please stay forever until the end of the week!


------ from: ep 11

-ah, yes! thanks for critiquing my presence! i'll be sure to talk to him. that presence guy.
-i love you more than mt. aizu-bandai!]

(i love toma's shirts with the tie, bowtie, etc. drawn on it!! so cute!! ^___^)
