about the ningen shikkaku DVD....cool LJ stuff from march/april...


it's been announced (a while back, sorry. haha. but i did post about it at the cbox right that day...), the official ningen dvd will be released aug. 4, 2010! ~_~

here's some info about the ningen DVD! u can already pre-order it, though it won't be released until august 4 (the bday of some1 close to me!! haha.). u can see all 3 versions HERE at yesasia. and of course u can buy it from CDJapan, too. just the regular version is already US$44.99!! the blu-ray is US$82.49 and the premium edition version is US$67.49!!! i knew it was gonna be expensive, but good grief!!! INSANITY. but it doesn't matter for me, cuz it's region 2 only! =,(

(well, there are programs u can use to convert it into region all, which is why i bought the hana kimi dvd box sets a few yrs ago, but i really don't wanna go through the trouble of converting this (but if u're interested, u can search in my old posts about the hana kimi dvd i bought in early 2008, i listed links and info about how to do it).


and it's too expensive anyhow...i'm happy enough with the few official ningen keepsakes i have....the ningen photobook, the ningen book w/toma on the cover, and the flyer. ~_~] IF U ARE GONNA BUY IT THOUGH, U SHOULD DEFINITELY GET THE PREMIUM VERSION. cuz the "Bonus disc features making-of, press conference footage, trailers, and more. Also includes a original booklet (subject to change).




COOL LJ THINGS....^O^
(finally caught up and posting this up. lol.
sorry, so late. cuz of my 3rd fanfic, i got really behind...)

toma's AnAn interview translation: 'wanting to claim his everything..." **edited**


after around 2 weeks.

finally, the whole interview has been translated.

thanks so much, areea_chan and enshinge!!


i read areea_chan's translation, but i was confused about a lot of parts. i usually wouldn't mind if the translation is a little off, but this time, the interview topic is SEX! i want to know exactly what toma said and not have any misunderstandings. so, u can guess who is the someone that enshinge mentioned (albeit with love~ ^^) at the start of her post. ah, i love en-chan!! and her translations are the best.

so, go ahead, u can read their translations at the links below. please do comment and thank them for their efforts. ~_~

areea_chan's
http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/551433.html

enshinge-chan's
http://enshinge.livejournal.com/438806.html

and now i'm gonna just mostly repeat what i said when i commented at their posts, about what i think about this interview....

i love this interview. i knew he was this mature, sweet, and sensitive....i haven't felt his everything (good lord, i SO want to, though!! xD), but i already feel like i never want anyone else to have him.

so much hype about it (at least f/us fans and our imaginations going wild about what he could have said!!). but i'm relieved the interview is not as hot as the pics it went with. haha.

omg....!! the start of the interview..."wanting to claim his everything". i reread this part a couple times before continuing. goodness.... (>////<) i'm gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight.

"A strong body with toned skin and bulging muscles. Wearing wild expressions; you can almost hear his rough breathing."
-omg........i have pictured him like this in my fantasies... (>////<)

it's really nice how he differentiates between acting and being photographed. i'm surprised he didn't get all tense for this photo shoot though. i guess he just zoned out or something...

it was really funny how he said he had no "armor" to protect himself!! haha. nothing to defend himself with...poor toma... but it's good to know he wasn't nervous or uncomfortable during the shoot ...it kinda shows...his face does look quite relaxed and natural. ~_~

"tried too hard to look cool"
-haha. but he's gotten beyond that now. toma's all grown up. ~_~ toma is sexier now that he's more mature and he's more muscular and toned. but he's always been sexy, really! xD he's just showing this side of him more now...(and i remember u saying something like "he's more comfortable being sexy now" salome. i totally agree!! i think ever since ningen...cuz of his character...it must have influenced or made him realize...nanka...)

‘when shall I go for the next step!?’
-haha. or "when do i set the trap"?! of course he thinks the guy should lead. haha. except when the guy is no good at reading a girl's signals, like u, toma! xD but it's really cute how he's no good at timing.

toma is really a shy guy! he's fine around guys, but when girls are present, he'll become nervous. he's said before, sometimes he feels like he prefers to be around guys (sometimes he's like 'who needs girls~') so much cuz he can just relax around them. but with girls, it's hard for him. he may try to act cool and stuff in front of girls, but he's really very shy. and he's very sensitive, self-conscious and serious, too. it's so toma-like to worry about when to hold her hand or something... haha. totally. but for that special girl...he doesn't need to worry about his timing or do anything special, just be himself and that's enough to make her happy. kitto!

'I think it’s something that’s really precious. Feeling your partners breath, smells, and warmth takes your affection to a deeper level.' -ahhhhhh. i love how he put it. so sweet and sexy at the same time...

EHH!! how did toma know i have a high-pitched girly voice and i think it's a major flaw?!! lol. but guys (like toma?) might think it's 'nice!'? ehhhhhhhh. but knowing at least toma thinks so, i'm EXTREMELY HAPPY!!! i've never in my life been proud of having a soft, weak voice, but now i actually am. really. so, thank you, toma! haha. i guess my voice is not that bad after all, if toma says so. ~_~

'I think that rather than the number of women you experience, what makes a man mature more is to deeply love one woman. At least that’s the way I want to be.'
-you're right, toma!! please don't date a lot of women!! lol. seriously though, i agree with toma. ~_~ i love how he's so serious about love. he's such a sweet guy. i hope he finds the right person for him someday....surely he'll be such a sweet sweet boyfriend!


................ april 27 EDITs:

"His breaths, warmth, smell… "
WAIT A SECOND, THEY COPIED THIS LINE FROM TOMA!!! LOL. damn that plagiarizing reporter. lol. but i guess there's not a lot of ways to describe it besides this though?? haha.

reading this interview made me love him more!!!!! completely!! it's nice how we see his sexy side in the pics, but his sweet side in the interview. ~_~

oh, and i edited my post from before...
http://ikutatomalove.blogspot.com/2010/04/naked-toma-oh-my-god.html

i got a little too excited before, and i've gone back and edited my post...toma was not naked, he was just ALMOST naked. lol. i guess i meant, it like....he's NAKED underneath that sheet. but now that i've looked at the pictures more carefully (goodness, i've looked at him way too much!!), i've realized, he coulda had his underwear on the whole time, really! he just needed to pull it down extremelyyyy low. but of course, i'd like to think he was really naked under that white sheet....haha.

i was afraid of a full nude shot f/the back (like jin's). luckily there wasn't!! but these pics keep making me think...of what he might look like when he's completely naked....what's under that white sheet. omg..... sorry, i'm thinking dirty thoughts again!!! i can't help it though. that sheet was soooooooooo low on his body....goodness!!! so close!!! i'm a total perv when i think of toma these days. good grief....he's too hot....his body is so....!!! wants!!!

..............the next day? edits:

toma IS love!♥
i thought toma wouldn't say anything ero, really...but was still

afraid/anxious to read this interview cuz the topic is sex!
but i didn't expect to be so touched by what he thinks about love/sex. if

it was another guy, i'd think he's just saying that. but since it's toma, everything really feels so sincere.

toma...i'm never gonna be able to stop loving you.


............................................................
(wait, these 2 parts were wrongly translated and don't really exist...
but since i've already commented about it, i'll include it here too. LOL.)


'Now, Ikuta-san is looking forward to something happening in his love life.'-ehhhhh!!!! seriously?? nooooo.... but i do hope he finds someone right for him, who can make him happy. *sigh*

the part about liking to listen to her breathing (gu?)
when she's sleeping. aww!! so sweet!!


i would think toma's soft breathing when he sleeps is really niceeeeee too. *_* haha. i've really thought about this....well, sometimes u see him sleeping in dramas, but u can't hear him breathing. darn it. hahaha.

but actually, toma's said be4, 2 things he wouldn't want to do with a girlfriend is take a bath or (literally) sleep together. he says it would be embarassing to see each other in those situations...haha. but he's done both with yamashita and other guy friends when they were little kids. haha. (like on a work trip somewhere, when they would share a hotel room) and he goes to the onsen (hot spring) with them too...i remember he went with shun while they were filming hana kimi and also often slept at shun's apartment cuz he lived close to the studio (in the same bed!! *JEALOUS*!!!!).


****AGAIN, TOMA DID NOT SAY HE WANTS TO HAVE A GIRLF (i suspect he already has one??) AND HE DID NOT SAY HE LIKES TO HEAR A GIRL BREATHE WHEN SHE'S SLEEPING. thanks for the correction, enshinge!*****

about toma's ACUO CM (turning women into anime. lol!), and some other things...


(toma cuteness!!!♥♥♥ this is from the newest issue of duet i think? forgot....this is like a preview...i will post more of my fav toma magazine pics f/this month later...something weird going on w/me today....i can't seem to calm down. even these adorable pics of him got me all hot....*blush*!! ba~ka!!! credit: zoe.)

this is really late, but here's some news about toma's (i lost count...ummm...it's the 4th, right?) recent LOTTE CM!!!

i think lots of ppl saw the preview of the CM, but did u see the full 30 second one?? haha. it's just a little more at the start and the end...u can see it at the official lotte website, h's youtube page or at the toma LJ...

some NEWS about it:

-http://community.livejournal.com/japan_now/571886.html#cutid1

-http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/717457-toma-ikuta-with-magic-breath-to-costar-with-haruhi-suzumiya/


(so cute!! love how toma's front teeth is showing cutely...♥♥)

"However, it was quite difficult to act with invisible Anime characters according to Ikuta, so he discussed every detail carefully with the director. The way he moved his line of sight and gestures is prepared with thorough consideration, showing great performance skills of Ikuta. And in the scene in which he was blamed by the boutique shop manager, he was asked to be "approached as close as possible, like leaning on your back." and the camera really moved very close to his face. After the director called "cut", Ikuta, the one just had a serious expression, smiled confidently in an excessive closeness?


This new CM of "ACUO" will be on air from April 5 in Japan."

vol. 340
(sometime in march)

hi.

it's ok to talk about my new CM now.

"Nisshin Yakisoba U.F.O."!


why, i'm goint to do PR for the product i ate loads of when i was in school!

everyone, please eat lots and lots of nisshin yakisoba U.F.O.

vol.343
(maybe mar.31)

as the filming for hanamizuki ended, tossed into the air by everyone, i fell right on my head. this is ikuta toma.


they've announced the new CM for acuo.
i appeared with an anime character named suzumiya haruhi.

it was my first experience doing collaboration with a character, and i think the finished product will be interesting.

everyone please chew acuo, and turn your lovers, friends, and family into anime.


some more random (kinda/really)old, toma-related stuff:

toma wrote a really sweet sweet letter at the end of march to shun cuz he couldn't be there for his last All Night Nippon. ~_~ it's her newest post here: http://xdustbunnys.livejournal.com/

i'm really anxious about the anan interview still....
even the first time i looked at his pics in my magazine, i tried to see if i could read anything (IT WAS SO DISTRACTING, HE'S PRACTICALLY NAKED right next to the text. lol.)...well, i only recognized the "woman" word, and that was pretty much it. haha. maybe i should ask enshinge to translate it....hmm....it's been 1 week already!!!

Enshinge and I talk about toma's AnAn interview about sex... 'he treads a very fine line'....



(this is my LJ icon now. "mm..." that's what i named this icon!! lol....it's the sound i make when i see toma like this, and i think it's also the sound toma is making...kyaaa... credit: http://community.livejournal.com/seoultotokyo/)

still waiting for areea_chan to post up the translation of the interview....hmm...(oh, this is my LJ post asking for a translation of the interview: http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/549740.html)

so this is like a preview...in case there are others that are anxious like me to know what he said in the an an interview...these are the msgs back and forth between me and enshinge f/a couple days ago, where en explains some of the things toma talked about.

u read it here first!! ^_^

~_~ THANKS SO MUCH, ENSHINGE-CHAN!! really made me feel relieved and happy to know toma only talked about sex in general and that he really is quite serious about love (of course~)!!

(credit: XQ and hpswf1)
hi kate, i've read the article already, contrary to what people seem to think, it's not about his sex life.
it's not like he talks about the act of sex - he does say it's something that's important in a relationship, and he does say that he likes slightly hoarse voices in women, but not necessarily during sex or anything
i'm not sure if i'll translate it yet - i'll give it a few days to see if anyone does it, and then see what i'll do~
- eh!

hi enshinge,
>
> THANK GOODNESS!!!
> U DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY U MADE ME!!! ~_~
>
> i see...that's what i thought, he'd talk about it in general, only....
>
> areea-chan said in a comment at my post she'll translate, but needs the last line for 1 page. i'll take a pic of it and upload it for her...(i bought the magazine already. lol.)
>
> BUT, ENSHINGE. some1 said "Toma also said that he always thinks on how to land a girl in bed from the first date..."??!! that totally sounds out of character for toma, but some1 said so. is this another incorrectly translated statement!! IT MUST, BE, RIGHT??!! or was he joking or something? EHHH!!! it can't be!!
>
> -kate


Re: enshinge-chan, could u translate toma&amp;#39;s AnAn article, please???
from [info]enshinge

lol we fangirls are subject to so much agony and worry and excitement all the time XD
more correctly, toma talks about how guys in general think - he says that when a guy and a girl decide to deepen a relationship, the guy is always wondering when to "go for it," ("it" = not necessarily sex, but everything and anything that might eventually lead to sex, even just holding hands, when to "take action") but at the same time, the guy is full of worries, "would it be alright to hug her?" "would she be disgusted if i kissed her?" toma says he sucks in general at reading signs from a girl, he's always struggling to get the timing right ;)

Re: enshinge, is there anything especially interesting that toma said in the AnAn interview??
from [info]enshinge

Lol he treads a very fine line, it could be taken both ways - there's no specific mention of experience.
The first half is him talking about acting, but nothing new for fans, how he felt an urgency and desperation when acting, to look good at it, until a certain point when he realized that he could depend on the director and the other staff to pull the attractiveness out of him, how the photographer cuts out a piece of him through the photoshoot, the second half is as i already mentioned, i did find it interesting that he says sempai actors tell him to experience lots of love/women because it'll be good experience for him, but how he doesn't agree and thinks that deeply loving a single woman is what makes a man mature.
That's about all I can tell you, just sit tight for the actual translation now ;)

- enshinge


Re: enshinge, is there anything especially interesting that toma said in the AnAn interview??
sent to [info]enshinge


ehhhhh...
as expected. he'll be vague enough to keep us guessing. though i'm already pretty sure...*sigh* but it's so toma-like to do that. haha.

ah, how the director and others make him attractive. feeling like that when acting..."the photographer cuts out a piece of him through the photoshoot" wah...a very good way of describing it...

oh no, his sempais...i'm glad he doesn't agree....but well...i guess both sides can be right...hmm...makes me think toma is very serious about love (i knew he was!) and probably hasn't had many girlf's? yey....

thanks so much, enshinge!!♥

i'll sleep better tonight (now) knowing this....

about the hanamizuki crank up....news and pics... (the flyer, too!) + cherry blossoms....**UPDATED**


ehhh.....
no time today, but i'll add to this post tomorrow, some news f/the hanamizuki crankup. so late, sorry!! it was since the end of march. so most of u probably already read about it and saw the video clips.

h's youtube page, 1 of the newest video clips talked about the hanamizuki flyer! =) they were holding the 2-sided banner and describing it....and the 4 video clips f/the crankup, u can watch at her page too, or get the link to DL them at the toma LJ....uh...i'll post it up tomorrow too...(edit: ah, too lazy to find it. u can go back to around march 30 and find it at the toma LJ! haha.)

u can see a bigger version of the 2-sided flyer here:
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/289753-ikuta-toma/page__st__1120

ja...here's some screencaps from the crank up! *_*


ahhhhhh!! i love this moment...toma was lightly brushing away the snow f/her hair, i think. what a sweet scene f/the movie!!!!!!!



konbanwa!!
kate desu.
everyone-chan, genki?

today!! april 18!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONAN!! ^O^
(as in O'brien. love him!! he makes me laugh so much. haha.)

and today, last yr, was when i decided...that i want to go to tokyo in 2014.... http://ikutatomalove.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post.html

though i forget to look at the countdown here, most of the time...but i'm always kinda aware of it in the back of my mind.....hmmm. and also, i've got the countdown on my cell phone since last yr, too. ^^

so...about hanamizuki!! i love this sweet pic f/the flyer. i they were standing at the top of the lighthouse, overlooking the sea... ~_~

oh, got this link f/zoe's blog (linked in my LINKS section on the right). it's the movie website's official blog! nothing much there now, but later, maybe... http://blog.hanamizuki-movie.com/

and this is such old news by now, but it's about the crank up of hanamizuki...finally at the end of march, they finished filming all the scenes in japan. =) but gakky still needs to film in canada and the usa...dunno when she'll be done (or is she already done?)....

what's really funny is that the staff were throwing toma up in the air, and they somehow let him slip, and toma fell back in the snow, head first!! poor guy!! =[ and toma said something like...of course it's so like him to fail like that. lol. but it wasn't his fault!! they just weren't careful...and then they picked him up again to throw him up, and i think toma was like, please let me go already! awww...haha. poor toma. but they didn't drop him again, at least!

Aragaki Yui & Ikuta Toma returning a favor to local fishermen
[posted up march 29]

here's an excerpt from the news...i think it must have been really tough and tiring for toma...to kinda become a fisherman for a couple months...uwa... it's hard work!! but then it was a good life experience. (not to mention that all that hard work kinda helped him become more muscular and tan and sexy for his an an photoshoot!! xD)

Ikuta himself received a few presents as well. The local fishermen gave him a "big catch" flag and Gakky surprised him with a carved bear. Hokkaido is famous for their woodcraft. "Amazing! I only played a role, but it became a life experience seeing how much pride those fisherman have in their work," he said. Ikuta actually has some advanced fishing skills himself, so he can really relate to their work. "I've mastered the fishing of salmon, that should be worth something," he joked around.

(4.19 edit~)
oh wow, i just talked about hanamizuki and then today some news about it turned up at the LJ! ~_~ gakky's in NYC right now, filming for hanamizuki!! but seems like she'll leave for canada tomorrow...gambatte, gakky! ~_~ she looks so cute and happy in the pics in NYC. i'm glad they are saying she speaks english pretty well!! looking forward to those parts in the movie. YEY. i'll actually be able to understand what she's saying w/out subs. haha. and the teaser....the start of the 1st video clip, when toma calls out to her and jumps up and runs over to her.....ahhhhh. kakkoii!!! ~_~ and sweet....

............. THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE FALLING IN JAPAN (& it's been SNOWING THERE!!! EHH!!)


read in the news...it's been unseasonably cold still, in japan, but thanks to this, the cherry blossoms are lasting for a longer time!! yey.


as i expected, toma talked about the cherry blossoms in 1 entry. ~_~ he does, every year~

............

[credit: inseiko @tomalicious forum]

toma's room entry (april 13 or 14?):

Vol. 346

Hey.

now then.
finally, it has become warmer.

however, the cherry blossoms have already started to fall.

i wanted to see them a little bit longer.


cherry blossoms are great, afterall, aren't they? they make me feel that i am japanese.


maybe i'll go for a walk while listening to music.


even though they're starting to fall!

................


seems like after this warm weather toma mentioned, it suddenly turned very cold and even snowed!! on april 16 and 17, i think. only knew cuz jamie and some other actor or actress blogged about it...here's what jamie said about it:

16th-Apr-2010 01:58 pm

I even don't mind (too much) that the forecast predicted SNOW today. Snow in the second half of April. In Tokyo. This isn't northern Canada....... Considering that it was around 80 degrees (F) two days ago, I'm really confused. I join the entire population of Tokyo, wondering what is going on with the weather recently...


EHHH!! SNOW IN APRIL!!! SUGOI!!! ^^ (I LOVE COLD WEATHER.) i'm kinda obsessed with the weather....here, there, everywhere... lol, part of me thinks, crazily, that it's suddenly snowing cuz toma's anan pics (the magazine went on sale april 14) got a lot of people so hot~, so thus, the snow, to cool every1 down. LOL!!! really~ i bet this anan issue is really selling well!!! xD



[i was going to post this up on april 11 (finished my fanfic the day be4), but i got seriously distracted by toma's sexy cinema square pics. the next day, TOMA'S AN AN PICS PREVIEWS!!! and i lost my mind for days after that, and so...a week late in posting this up. gomen!]

..................new banners! and the spring breeze whispers...

i finally finished writing my 3rd fanfic!!! *cries* it's a bittersweet feeling...i really miss being with toma in that world.... but i know i can come back anytime~ maybe, i'll try writing some short one-shot fics before i write a 4th long one. ^^ ah, but it's about time i get back to the real world, catch up with what the real toma's been doing (which, is luckily, not much, except for finishing up hanamizuki filming!! haha. at least not much that we know of, for now....hmm.)

new banners! in a way, to celebrate finishing my 3rd fanfic...and this pic at the top was taken very very recently!! april 3, 2010!! ~_~

it's already hanami time in japan... such a romantic~ time ne. i think this year, the cherry blossoms have been blooming since the end of march in tokyo, f/what i saw at jamie's blog. ~_~ oh, there was a photography magazine i saw at sanseido a few weeks ago. it had a lot of prettyyyy pics of sakura. in the fog, in the twilight, at night, in the daytime....all so beautiful!! wish i could have taken some pics of it to show you.

cherry blossoms...their delicate, fragile beauty...reminds me of toma.♥ and of course, i think everyone knows, but... "the all too brief beauty of the cherry blossom is often linked with the ephemeral nature of life and love" [credit: Lee @ http://www.wordpress.tokyotimes.org/]
