hi all!
sorry, no updates in a while.
did u miss me? haha. =P
wow.
i dunno why recently, there have been a lot more visitors here, if my cluster map is correct! yesterday i got 163 visits!! i've only got about 30-40 each day, before! THANK YOU 4 VISITING, EVERYONE!! :) and i noticed there's 3 other big dots on the map besides me, so that means 3 other ppl have come here more than a 100 times! wah! thanks for supporting this blog!!! like i keep saying,
i'll try 2 keep it updated often and keep it interesting. ~_~
to those of u that come here often, it'd be cool if u post comments once in a while!
i love reading comments. ^_^
i just checked, and my toma fans map has gotten 3,621 views!!! that's higher than any other fan map i made, be4 the highest was for my fan map for ellen degeneres, and that's just 800-something right now!! ****if any1 hasn't joined the fan map, pls join now! and make sure u upload a photo (any photo, doesn't have 2 be a pic of toma) so that you'll show up at the top of the scroll bar on the left side of the map! **** i know sometimes the fan map won't show up, but just try again the next day or the next day, it should work after a while!
also, my toma b-day MV is now the 2nd most viewed video (out of 436 videos!) at my youtube page!!! i uploaded it on toma's b-day, around 2 months ago. it's got 29,364 views, 17 ratings, and been favorited 78 times! :) what's cool is that most of my other videos in the top 10 steadily increase in views and stay in their spots, but only my toma MV keeps increasing and moving ahead, until now that it's the 2nd most viewed! so cool!!! =D

i also got very short audio clip of what he said here:http://www.esnips.com/doc/46e0af8f-92d4-4755-92ab-89a4d41f3878/what-T-said-2-MTHANK YOU, any1 that could translate 4 me! =)
GOOD NEWS: u can now watch the trailer of Honey & Clover at youtube and other places! http://youtube.com/watch?v=wOVOKKv-2KUu can dload the high quality video at the toma livejournal site. =)i don't know much about the plot except what i read at wikipedia...so i didn't really know what 2 expect from this series. but now that i see the trailer, i'm a little worried that i won't like this series. cuz i dunno why, i just don't like the leading actress, there's just something about her that i don't like...and the trailer just gives me a very boring/melodramatic feeling. haha...but this is just a super-short trailer and i could be wrong. just that i prefer comedies over mushy romances that have too much drama or R more draggy and slow-paced.....BUT toma being the lead actor will DEFINITELY make the series worth watching! ~_~this is random, but i read somewhere at the livejournal site that toma smokes! i dunno if that's still true now, but i hope not, or that he'll quit later. =/
WHOA!yes!! i know what u're thinking. and all fans have been saying the same thing:HE LOOKS SO YOUNG! =Pthe simple haircut and casual clothes really makes him look like a student! more like a high school student than college student!! well, he's supposed 2 be 19, i think. he looks more like 16-17, but that's aight. =Pcuz the lead actress looks/IS very young (15, i think?). now they'll match.(thanks to bloaty! u can see more pics here: http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/100433.html?view=494929#t494929)
sorry, been a while since i updated!i just made some icons using some of my fav screencaps of nakatsu. =) i love toma when he's happy/silly as nakatsu, but he also has moments where he has that fiery glare!!
wow, very cool!! here is just some, u can find some more new ones and all the other fan art i've made so far here:http://s227.photobucket.com/albums/dd87/ilovetoma/Kate%20toma%20stuff/u can use them if u want, but it'd be nice if u could credit me and link 2 my blog!! =)
here's some random toma-related stuff:
http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/

TRANSLATED INTERVIEWS, MAGAZINE SCANS, AVATARS,
OTHER MEDIA!!!
U CAN FIND TONS OF GREAT TOMA ICONS, PICS HERE, ESPECIALLY!!
but fans post new messages often, and i dunno when the site was started, so
u gotta go there often 2 keep updated! i'm trying 2 go thru the old posts slowly,

u should also join livejournal, so u can post messages/comments and thank fans for the awesome graphics/pics!!

but nobody can beat hokuto umeda from the manga. His character is just too complex to be portrayed by the human being. For nanba senpai I seriously prefer the taiwanese than the japanese but still shun n maki wins over. nakatsu japanese is cute almost the same like manga just that he is not as crazy or as lively that neese…FOR NOW…

havent seen the tw version, but right now im totally head-over-hills with the jap version. gee they know how to be funny! not one dull moment, even from the co-characters, every single bit was watchable. however i do have to admit my disappointment as to how the drama not following the manga completely, because the manga rocks. but overall this drama(jap version) got me completely hooked.
p.s shun is so gorgeous ^_^V

I’ve watched both versions, and although the jap version isn’t as faithful to the manga, the casting is MUCH better and the portrayal of the characters is better and more funny. Japan has its own way of doing the humour so its very good. Almost like watching an anime come to life. Taiwanese version is just too quirky for me and all the characters except quan in the taiwanese version were just a bit off. So while both versions were good (in their own ways) i prefer the japanese version! :D
