(do u like the new happy face in the title of this post?
got it from a happy comment by some1 about toma's movie. xD)
hey~
how is everyone?
genki? ~__~
sorry it took me a while 2 get all this new toma movie stuff posted up. whew...luckily there's a break in the toma news right now, so i have time 2 gather all this news n pics... xD
OH, THERE'S A JOHNNYS POLL ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE JOHNNYS ARTIST!! so far, toma's in 9th place!! go to the link below to see the results so far and get the link to GO VOTE FOR TOMA!!! ^_^ http://mystical-powers.livejournal.com/66097.html
so....TOMA'S NEW MOVIE!!!
wow!!!!!!! *\(•ˆ⌣ˆ•)/*
i'm glad toma's still keeping busy despite how they said there's less work for singers and actors now cuz of the tohoku earthquake. yokattaaaaa. ~___~
though lots of people say the manga is boring/depressing and that yano (toma's character) is a jerk, i'm hoping the movie version will be a lot better!! and it sounds like a kinda challenging role, playing a character who is kinda mysterious/complex/flawed but still so popular and caring and sweet too. neeee!!
AND I JUST REALLY REALLY LOVE
TO SEE TOMA IN ROMANTIC MOVIEs!!!!!
heehee. =P
AND
toma's hair is pretty and cool again!!! ^^
and he looks so much like yano!!! lol.
ano...
the plot kinda sounds like hanamizuki at first, but after i read about how people say the characters are deep and the story moves slow and it's kinda depressing and sad, it makes me think of honey and clover!! and then i read a review 4 the anime here and they DID say it's similar to the style of hachikuro!! i really didn't like the bittersweet-ness and slow pace of H&C, but hopefully the movie will not be as depressing or frustrating as the manga!!

OH,
ABOUT TOMA'S CO-STAR, Yuriko Yoshitaka...
i dunno anything about her but i looked her up and seems like she's a talented actress and getting very popular!! YEY. toma keeps being paired up with popular actresses. ~____~ she looks kinda plain and older than him (but she's younger! lol.), but she does seem very nice ne...she joked about how she might have trouble kissing him cuz of his high nose. xDDDDDD
here's the announcement in the news:
Johnny’s talent Toma Ikuta and actress Yuriko Yoshitaka will play the leads in an upcoming movie adaptation of a popular romance manga series, it was revealed on May 1, reports Oricon and Chunichi Sports.
“僕等がいた (Bokura ga ita, We Were There)” is an ongoing manga series by Yuki Obata and follows a couple over 10 years of their life from the time they meet at high school, move onto university, and then go into the working world. The story moves around Hokkaido and Tokyo and follows the characters as they fall in love and experience the hardship that comes with it.
“This might be the last time I wear a school uniform (laughs). I hope I can enjoy that young, sweet high school life to the full,” Ikuta said.
Ikuta’s character Motoharu Yano is the popular boy at school; he’s smart, good-looking, and athletic. But the part to watch out for is how he is affected by his girlfriend’s death after she dies in a car accident.
“I feel thankful be able to given the chance to play such a cool, yet very human character like Yano, but I want to do my best to bring some life into him,” he said.
Ikuta’s co-star Yoshitaka said it was her first time playing a character adapted from a romance manga, and she was aware that the series has a lot of devoted fans.
“I want to do my best to make sure I don’t betray the manga’s fans or put them to shame,” she said.
Filming is scheduled to begin this month and is reported to be aiming for a two-part release in 2012.

and this is so cool...!"Filming starts this month and ends in July, with locations in Hokkaido and Tokyo. Asmik Ace will release both of the movies in the spring of 2012, and in an unprecedented move, the second one is planned for release just a month after the first one."

and the manga is ending soon...."The Sankei Sports newspaper reported on Monday that manga creator Yuuki Obata will end her We Were There (Bokura ga Ita) shōjo romance series at about the same time that the manga's live-action film adaptation opens in Japan next spring. The producers of the two live-action films are meeting with Obata to ensure that the manga and the films have the same ending.
The 14 volumes of the manga has sold over 10 million copies in Japan since 2002."
