Romantic Relationship between Ikuta Toma and Yoshitaka Yuriko?!
Holding hands lovingly at drinking party of “Bokura ga Ita” finished filming celebration”!

http://japan-now.livejournal.com/1739146.html
What is the relationship between Ikuta Toma & Yoshitaka Yuriko?

(what some of these news articles leaves out is that her rumored boyfriend since last year was there too! the guy with the eyes blocked out. he's Genki, in the band flumpool. this is the news about their dating rumor and how she spent a night at his house from last year:
http://www.tokyograph.com/news/yoshitaka-dating-flumpool-bassist)

basically,
what happened is that toma and her went out for drinks, play darts, and go karaoke with their friends and staff from the movie. when they left, toma was holding yuriko's bag for her and holding her hand because she was super drunk and had trouble walking to the taxi. (toma ALSO helped her friend walk to the car.)

seriously. if toma was dating someone, he wouldn't walk around holding hands with her in broad daylight like this!! he's always very friendly and close with his co-stars. and she was drunk, so he was helping her and her friend to the taxi. AND, hellooooo, her rumored boyfriend, genki was there too!! this only makes it more likely that she's been dating that guy since last year, and NOT toma. =T

i don't know why so many people are like "i wanna ship them! they're so cute together!!"?? maybe it's cuz she's popular right now. and cuz we like the idea of toma having a girlfriend and dating and being happy and all. sure, i'd be happy for him if he had a nice girlfriend, but NOT if it's her. i just don't like her!!! T___T i'm glad that filming for the movies are done, cuz now i don't need to see toma and her together anymore until they promote the movie in spring of next year. xDDDD

BUT at least cuz of this rumor, we get to see new pics of toma and get everyone excited and it livens up the toma fan communities. xD and nice 2 know he was having fun with people from the bokura ga ita team. it's kinda funny that the girls got super drunk...usually i'd think toma would be the super drunk person. =P AND of course, all talk about toma + yuriko is free promotion for their movie. lollllll. yeyyyyy.

i don't like yuriko, and i would freak out if they were really dating!!!! 0____o i haven't seen her act in any drama, but she looks quite plain and somehow arrogant to me and i don't like her. she seems really popular right now, and i don't understand why at all (i guess she's a good actress). but then again she was also on the most hated celebrities list, so i'm definitely not alone. i'm sorry if i offend anyone, but this is how i feel...

the main reason why i hate yuriko is cuz she did some erotic scenes in the movie that helped make her famous, back in 2008, Snakes and Earrings. (this is the trailer for the movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nus8mu5dYRA&feature=related). i know a lot of japanese actresses started out being sexy gravure idols (models that pose in swimsuits or lingerie), even gakky or maki, but this is too much!! T__T i hate it when actresses keep using a sexy image to make themselves more popular. also, she released a sexy photobook this year, and the theme was that she was having an affair with the reader. geez...0__0 (http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/02/yoshitaka-yuriko-has-an-affair-with-you-in-her-newest-photobook/)

..............about the new hana kimi's ratings

so...just an update on the new hana kimi's ratings. the 2nd episode of the new hana kimi ratings was only 6%!! the 3rd ep, it was 7.9, but the 4th dropped down to 5.5 (thanks to mizza 4 the info!)[credit:sakuranamida@tumblr]

i dunno why i totally forgot 2 say it before, but shohei as the new nakatsu is soooooo not cool. o___O he exagerrates too much and really tries to copy toma's funny expressions!!! (maybe it's the director's fault 4 telling him to copy toma, i dunno.) and his hair just looks so fake. blahhhhh. toma will always be the most awesome nakatsu everrrrrrr!!♡♥

oh, there's a ton of nakatsu gifs at http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ikuta-toma recently, but my fav is this one. LOLLLLLLL. and it describes perfectly how i feel about the new hana kimi (and ppl who think toma and yuriko should date for real. lol.)!! hahaha. (credit: lilkisara@tumblr)

oh, i made this for the winners at toma's room.
nostalgic!!!! natskashiiiii!!! ^^

..............toma's PICTURES ♡♡♥♥

Which actor would you want as your stylist?

toma got 15th place. lol.
i would sooooo love it if toma could help me be more fashionable like him!!!! but i guess toma would also have 2 lend me some money 2 buy cool clothes 2 help me be more stylish. xDDDDDD

in case u were wondering....pic of the things in the hana kimi dvd box set #2! (the inside of both box sets look the same. shun, toma, maki standing next 2 each other repeated over n over. and a pic of their classroom and outside of the school too. oh, toma does not look good in the dvd pic. lol. he looks a little moody/mad. haha.)

my birthday card for toma!! *_* plus some bokura ga ita pics, the new hana kimi, and other toma things...

heyyy!
it's me, kate. ^^
everyone genki?
try to stay cool, ok?
a really cool trick i learned from somewhere
is get the sleeves of your shirt wet and it'll help cool u down a lot. also, spray some water in your hair, cuz your head is where the most heat escapes yr body or something like that.

nothing very exciting to talk about,
but i thought i should update before too much things build up. xD i don't like super long posts either. lol.

i was going 2 use this pic above for the dearToma banner, but i like the blue lighthouse one from last year more... but i still wanna share this dreamy blue hydrangea pic with everyone, so hope you like it! [credit:http://www.flickr.com/photos/limedivine/3815995837/sizes/z/in/photostream/] ALSO, i want to use these purple hydrangea pics for my banners later in the summer, but i don't think the owners are gonna let me. *sigh* seems like they are both not active at flickr anymore. i'll just use a different pics i found...but i wanted to share the pics with you all. I LOVE THE FIRST ONE SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!♥♥♥ so super pretty!!!!!!! ~________~

BOKURA GA ITA PREVIEW PICS!! yeyyyyy!! ^_^
(thanks to mizza & rae!!^^)

.............. some random toma news and message. xD

http://japan-now.livejournal.com/1711427.html
Which actor would you want as your younger brother?
toma got 10th place. hehe. =P

and toma didn't know his eyes were brown??! xD read his recent entry here:
http://tfgirls.livejournal.com/1847.html. i think something must have been lost in translation, cuz i don't get it...of course his eyes are brown!! what color did he think it was?? black?! lol.


............... what i think about the new hana kimi

i don't like it. T____T
(ok, i did not watch episode 1, but i've seen enough from tumblr to know i won't like it!) the first episode aired recently and i checked out the screencaps and comments and video clips on tumblr. a lot of people think it's no good. (u can see for yourself here: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/hana-kimi) omg, i hate how they are using the same music (noo!! i love the music and it should only be for the 1st one!!!) and even the same sets from the first hana kimi!! and so far, people say for this episode, things are almost the same as the 1st episode of the old one. most of the characters are annoying or boring to me, and i really don't think maeda suits the role of mizuki at all. (credit:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hana-Kimi-Remake-2011-Fansclub-Indonesia-Hanazakari-no-Kimitachi-e/234577259897193?sk=wall)

i don't know....so much of it seems exagerrated and awkward. even if i did not compare it to the first hana kimi, i still couldn't like it. it's like the 2 main reasons this drama was made is to make money for fuji tv and to promote maeda, so they don't really care and they're gonna copy as much as they can from the first hana kimi. BUT even though it's the top anticipated drama of the summer (according to some polls), it got low ratings for the first episode! despite that there still are a lot of people who say they like this drama and there are a lot of AKB48 fans out there too, so maybe there's a chance the ratings will remain decent or even rise if the story gets better. i just hope that they don't mess things up too much for all the fans out there that are going to keep watching.

and this is a weird moment...toma's younger brother (he works for fuji tv), ryuusei,interviewed the cast of the new hana kimi!! ehhh... ironic?! @__@

............ TOMA'S BIRTHDAY CARD

so, every year i send toma a birthday card. :D
and i already bought this one recently. hehe. i'm just sending it to the official Johnnys fanmail address. hopefully toma will get it. and hopefully he'll actually open it. lol. if anyone wants me to add their name to the card, please comment at the end of this post and i'll add u. usually there's not much people, so there should be enough room. some of you might wanna write him a message too, but i don't know if there's enough space. but just go ahead and comment with a short message if u want (like 1 or 2 sentences) and your name (and what country you're from), and if in the end there's room, i'll write them in for everyone. remember, the DEADLINE to comment is probably mid-september!!! =O

for example:
happy bday toma! i love your dramas!
-Sarah (from France)

i will send the card probably around mid-september to make sure it gets to japan by october 7, toma's 27th birthday. ~___~ AND if you want to send your own bday card or letter to toma, that's great!! (just remember they don't allow gifts. they WILL send it back to you. =T and for letters, nothing too bulky!!) i posted a few different addresses to send toma fanmail (except you probably shouldn't use the Winkup one anymore, since he does not have a column for the magazine anymore.) here:

to update during the summer, because
sometimes it gets so hot, i just
can't spend much time online. T_T
(sometimes i'll try 2 keep u updated
by using my cbox. hehehehe....
so remember to take a look at it often. =P)

OH, THIS IS TOO EARLY TO MENTION,
but toma's 27th birthday is coming up in 94 days!!
i somehow always remember that i need to buy him a birthday card around this time of year. lol. and i'll add toma fans' names to it before i send it and post pics n stuff, just like last year.
v(^_^)v hope more people can participate.

ALSO,
I WAS WONDERING IF....
is anyone gonna be in japan around the time his genji movie is released??
if so, could you get some flyers for us toma fans??? ~___~
or maybe just one for me??? hehehe.
i would really really be so happy if someone could
get some genji flyers for us!!!

www.volvic.co.jp/index.html. (or DL it here: http://ikuta-toma.livejournal.com/689422.html. thanks to strawberry_gemm and credit of these screencaps: strawberry_gemm.)

toma hasn't been doing much else except filming for the bokura ga ita 2-part movie, i guess. at least there's finally some blurry pics from the filming!! YEY!! ^_^ and there are some more here: http://toma-room.livejournal.com/39092.html. toma looks awesome and young but SHE HAS NO BANGS! NANAMI IN THE MANGA HAS BANGS!! =T awwwwwwww. why no bangs???

............ 1st HANA KIMI & 2nd HANA KIMI =T
i think everyone knows about how there's a new version of hana kimi in japan that will air soon. it's tricky to talk about it in a way that won't offend the people that are looking to forward to it, so i don't wanna talk about it. =T but just wanna share this post i made where i DID talk about it a little (and a bunch of ppl quickly defended it and bashed me T_T) and hope that everyone will remember how awesome the first hana kimi was and enjoy some classic ikemen paradise and Nakatsu LOVE videos n music!! (icon credit: gabenut@LJ)
http://toma-room.livejournal.com/38078.html

(these pics of prince genji toma are kakkoiiiiiiii!!! *wantssss* the
books and prince toma. xD some GENJI TRIVIA:
-there was a genji movie where a woman
played the role of prince genji!! o_O
-genji might be bisexual, cuz there was a part in the novel
where he slept next to the brother of his lover. (it was kind of vague,
but seemed like he was attracted to him!! wow...))

i got curious about them, so looked up the actresses who will be toma's lovers in the genji movie. i think they look better in real life than in the trailer, mostly. xD i guess maki and misako are the prettiest...i only have seen 2 of them cuz they were in toma's movies and dunno much about the others. some of the them seem to have a sexy image...i hope they're good actresses. =T

Maki Yoko
Tanaka Rena
Tabe Mikako
Ashina Sei
Renbutsu Misako [liked him in hanamiz!!]
Muroi Shigeru [the lady he passionately kissed in ningen!!]
