ocTOMAber!!! xD BRI Part 2, toma's bday, toma sang his drama's opening song, etc. etc.!! ~.~

it's NOVEMBER 16!! @__@ i'm sorry i'm posting the monthly post so late! if only it didn't take me so long to watch BRI Part 2. cuz i had to watch it before i went back to toma's tag on tumblr, which was full of spoilers. O_O but i didn't like the movie, so i kind of regret not reblogging toma stuff for a month just because of it. -__- i tried to keep things simple/leave out some things, so gathering stuff + writing this post wouldn't take forever...enjoy! ~.~ (as always, remember you can go to the Toma's Room LJ or the ikuta toma tag at tumblr for the latest toma updates! also, i usually remember to post important toma news in my cbox here!! xD)

........................ toma's messages♥
(i'll just talk about some of the interesting things toma said in his jweb here, but remember if you want to read his full message, go to http://tfgirls-team.livejournal.com! ~_~)

toma thanked everyone who wished him a happy bday.♥ read toma's bday message here, thanks to himawariyusuke!http://himawariyusuke.livejournal.com/32029.html

toma didn't talk about anything very interesting this month, except for his birthday. he said they had a birthday party for him on the set and he was happy that the cast of his drama could be there with him. =) and he talked a lot about Osawari, of course, reminding everyone to watch it and enjoy. on the night the 1st episode aired, he said something like naughty people who are outside so late, go home (to watch his drama)! haha! also, he mentioned how he was so surprised that he got the chance to sing the opening song! ~.~


........................... toma news, links, etc. from October ♥


(Source: nesrivaki)

TOMA AND THE CAST OF OSAWARI SANG THE OPENING SONG!!!!!! `*:;,。・ヽ♪(●^o^●)ヮイヮイ丿丿♪`*:;,。・ヽ it's a cover of Anata Ni, by Mongol800. the rumor was true! this would be the first time toma's recorded a song in the studio since Cat in the Red Boots, 6 years ago!! everyone was really happy and excited about it!!!!!! a lot of fangirl screaming and crying!!!

--go here to see how us fans at Toma's Room reacted to this awesome news!! (also you can DL the video clip of the opening here!) http://toma-room.livejournal.com/104182.html

THE BAD NEWS is that the song is not included on the drama's soundtrack. x_x but at least you can still get the mp3! thanks to kavya for giving me these links and thanks to thariamon and keiko_artemis for sharing these clips with us! ~__~

...............Episode 1 of Osawari has been subbed!!
get it here: http://tfgirls-team.livejournal.com/12399.html

i have watched episode 1 and i think it's ok. toma's character is like most of the roles he's had before, your basic nice, cheerful guy. i like the cranky doctor lady (sorry, don't remember anyone's names yet). lol. i love strong female characters. and i like how she's a bit sarcastic and antisocial and not trying to fit in and be all happy and perky like most of the other characters. i can really relate to characters like that because i'm quite sarcastic and cynical. i just don't show it much online. hahaha...

unlike with toma's previous dramas, i probably will not be posting comments and screencaps from the episodes after i watch them. ^^; it's too time-consuming, and i don't think i'll have much to say about this drama, i guess. maybe sometimes i'll comment about it on my cbox on the right, though.

toma on various tv shows promoting Osozaki no Himawari. if you want to watch them, there are some that you can download at the toma's room LJ. just go there and browse and you'll find them. remember, these posts are members-locked. OH, THIS IS REALLY CUTE, THOUGH...RYUUSEI HAD TO INTERVIEW TOMA AND HE CALLED TOMA "IKUTA-SAN". SINCE HE DID SO, TOMA ALSO CALLED HIM THAT, BUT THE STAFF WERE LIKE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO FORMAL. SO, TOMA IMMEDIATELY GRABBED HIS BROTHER BY THE SHOULDER AND THEY LAUGHED. awwwww!! ~__~ i dunno where u can watch this video, only seen screencaps.

(if you're curious about the toma shooting an arrow and the "toma peed on me!" parts, go to the links below to DL the video clip/for more info about it!!

new autumn banner!!!!!!
i wish i had found this earlier!!  i think it might be the best autumn picture i've ever used for my banner! i love the bright, bold colors of the leaves!! it's just too perfect. ~__~ (i used a blue heart this time instead of a text heart. took a long time 2 get it right though! but i like this kinda heart better. ~.~ also, i still remember from art class that orange goes with blue. hehehe. it does, doesn't it? )


and i found these 4 other really pretty autumn pics from kyoto!! i love how they have lighter autumn colors, some almost peach-colored. absolutely beautiful!! *___*

i thought i was late because i only came n saw your blog today, but since u posted late as well, i'm safe haha xD i don't even remember well what happened in BRI 2 actually.. i only remember the last scene because that was the climax i told u i'd seen in a video someone uploaded on tudou ages ago, n it spoiled everything XD
i'm liking the drama though.. n i'm totally supporting the annoyed doctor and toma.. they're cute together :D

kate♥toma said...

kavya,

thanks for commenting! ~_~ yeah, i posted really late this time. haha. ohh... =/ well, if it wasn't for the spoilers, i thought that by the end, they would not end up together. but i guess they just can't forget each other, they're meant to be, blah blah blah.

really? i can't really see them as a couple yet, but i don't like the idea of him + the big eyes nurse or the other girl either. lol.

Kavya said...

lol big eyes nurse=kashii yu.. i dunno the doctor's name though.. it's kinda getting complicated though, all their relationships.. i wonder what path it will take..
but yeah, sometimes the drama feels like it's a tourism docu of shimanto/kochi xD

kate♥toma said...

hahaha. i'm usually annoyed when dramas/movies seem to be obviously promoting a product/place, but i'm ok with it in this case, since i love seeing pretty scenary in japan. =P

i still haven't watched ep.2 yet, cuz i need 2 finish my toma fic and do some other stuff, be4 it's time to post the monthly post for my toma blog again. thank goodness for thanksgiving + nothing much happening in toma fandom, so i have some more free time these days!! :)
