http://fuckyeahtoma.tumblr.com/post/15294849855

good grief, i think toma's hair looks like this right now. not sure when/where this pic was taken, but he was with yamashita. i just don't remember where that other pic is, but toma was so blurry in that pic anyway...but at least he's got a cute pose n expression in this pic. hehe.

and TOMA WENT TO

HAWAII FOR NEW YEARS!!!!!! ^___^

with shun and his girlfriend and her family, actually....lol.

http://tomaroom.tumblr.com/post/15407950422/toma-in-hawaii-he-still-looks-cute-even-in

[video clip of the news about shun picking up toma at the airport in hawaii]

I knew he would go to hawaii again!!! xD so many japanese people vacation there...i wish i lived there!! i collected these comments that someone posted at tumblr about it... xD

--Toma arrives in Honolulu, Hawaii with Yamada Shintaro (Yamada Yu’s brother) and Shun fetches them.

--Seems Yu [shun's girlfriend] and her mother were in Hawaii too. Family trip! With Toma tagging along :D Can I come too?

................GENJI movie stuff ★

http://tomaroom.tumblr.com/post/15706629182/wah-so-red-but-cool-thanks

[red genji gif. that kiss!!!! wahhhh....]

toma's genji movie was 5th place at the box office for it's 1st weekend and then 7th for the second, and then it dropped below the top 10 for the 3rd weekend (xmas weekend). i thought being in the top 5 is already awesome, but i guess for a big budget, big deal movie like this, 5th is not good enough. =/ i guess it's not a big surprise, since those other movies are action movies, more people will see those...i guess bokura ga ita has a better chance of being a box office hit??? i really hope so!! *_*

http://toma-room.livejournal.com/62479.html

Genji Monogatari is only #5 at the box office...

[go here to read why they said #5 is disappointing =T]

http://toma-room.livejournal.com/62019.html

review of the genji movie that kavya posted, where it was given only 2.5 stars. =(

i don't know why i didn't see any news or pics of some kind premiere night event for genji? i guess maybe i missed something or the only main even was at the shrine back in november?? not sure... i also didn't see much toma pics from the stage greetings, except for this short video clip. =T but toma looks great here (his outfit), though he wasn't smiling when they were taking pics later....=T

........................................toma's MESSAGES ♥

kavya's translation of toma's new yr message: vol. 472-

Everyone, thank you very much indeed for everything this year!

And thank you for your hard work!(otsukaresamadeshita)

We will continue working hard over the next year too.

Please share your kindness and regard.(yoroshiku onegaishimasu)

I sincerely pray that everyone can spend a bright and positive year.

2011.12.30 Ikuta Toma

==============

i'm just paraphrasing what he said (except the parts in [ ] are the parts i am quoting the translation)...you should really read the messages as they were written originally, though!! ^_^

(credit: TFGirls. read all the translations of his entries #463-470 here:

http://ikuta-toma.livejournal.com/719924.html)

(ALSO, I SKIPPED ENTRIES 469 AND 470 THIS TIME. FROM NOW ON, I'LL ONLY SUMMARIZE THE MOST IMPORTANT/INTERESTING/FUNNY ONES, cuz it takes too much time. =T i know i've said this many times be4, but this time i mean it!! xD unless there's like very few toma entries i guess..)

-Vol. 463 [Dec. 1]

He went to an old theater in shibuya. he got tired doing a dance (the name relates to the blue sea) that he had to do in the Tale of Genji movie. he did it last year and thought he'd never have to do it again. he couldn't remember the steps and had to practice a lot and was nervous while performing. luckily it went well.

after that he went to the Toyota Vitz Cup Kunitachi Women Soccer game. even though it was a tie, he was happy that Nadeshiko Japan were so united and had great team spirit. after the game, he met all the players who were very happy to meet him though they were tired. he had a surprise for them (i guess that congratulatory big key that he handed to 1 of the players?) that they really liked. he and the staff-san ate curry together and hung out (?) before going home.

now...his cellphone background is Nadeshiko Japan with himself (with a weird face) (lol, he did have a kind of stiff look in that key pic!). They are amazing.. [shining~~]

-vol. 464 [Dec. 3]

[It's time to go home from Osaka campaign.]

osaka is great!

they've been invited to some tv shows.

he thanks everyone who met them during the program.

[The atmosphere was warm]

and a toma tv show [Rasshiyu] will probably start.(??)

bye...

[have fun.]

-vol. 465 [Dec. 9]

soon, the Tale of Genji movie will be released everywhere in japan.

but you already know, right?

yesterday, he watched the hina&yoko show on tv. he was really happy to see them both after so long.

and on Himitsu no Arashi-chan with jun, there was going to be a competition with girls. he was really happy about that too..

and there is going to be a [festival(celebration)!]

[now!]

it was aired on Bokura no ongaku with elephant kashimasi.

[festival.. festival!]

he hasn't seen it and he wants to.

after seeing Bokura no ongaku, he quickly went home to go to the theater the next day!!

[please support me...]

-vol. 466 [Dec. 12]

The tale of genji.

the first day.

[I felt so nervous.]

after the show (the movie?).

[The director and I kept on saying ‘It was tiresome, wasn’t it...

(Laugh)

For everyone who has come, I’m so grateful...

The atmosphere was so warm.]

right now Genji Monogatari is showing in theatres.

he hopes you'll go watch it and

[have a fun day.

i hope so.]

-vol. 467 [dec. 12, 13]

(THIS ENTRY IS SO CUTE. ~____~

U REALLY SHOULD READ THE FULL MESSAGE!!!

http://tfgirls.livejournal.com/7604.html)

he was taking a walk when two young girls ran up to him. they asked him if he was ikuta toma and he said yes. she tried not to show how nervous she started saying something about his movie. toma responded that yes, his movie is in theatres now. she said she's seen it. toma thanked her.

[she was] Really honest, really nice (laughs)

and then she said "take care..."

[While waving her hand and bowing with a genuine smile, I’m really touched.

Please tell your mother to watch it (Genji Monogatari).

And welcome to the adult world (laughs)

Thank you for being brave enough to come closer to me...]

(wow!!!!! i guess fans rarely are brave enough 2 come talk to him. especially such young girls!! ^_^ hehe...toma must have been surprised those girls went to watch that movie cuz it's more for adults. hopefully they know he wrote about them on his jweb!! :D:D:D "And welcome to the adult world." LOLLLLL!! i guess the movie must be like pg-13 though right, so it's ok? xD)

-vol. 468 [dec. 14]

he visited a high school where he got to teach students, which he never got to do before. it was unforgettable. he hopes the students also had a nice time. [The questionnaire that you’ve write to me was very-very funny...

I surely will read all of it.]

he was surprised when the staff from the Shizuoka high school read something from Wink Up to him. [I’m really impressed (laughs). Thank you very-very much.] the stage greeting at the theater was also great and they're (toma and the director) really happy about it.

[Thank you!

I will definitely come again.

Shizouka folks are very enthusiastic! I’m very pleased.

I want to come again!

Thank you!]

............................... random JAPAN news ★

bad news, the plan to give away 10,000 tickets for people

to come to japan was rejected (dec. 29). >_< here's the news:

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20111229a4.html

A TON OF TOMA UPDATES!!! ★__★ toma everywhere for GENJI PROMO...BGI TRAILER!!...toma kissed a guy...no more toma in idol magazines...TR 1st anniv!!♡

(credit: ingenjimode) hey everyone!!! ~_~ sorry it's been so long since i updated! almost 1 whole month!! =0 it's cuz there was nothing going on with toma for a long time, then suddenly this flood of new stuff cuz of genji promo!!!!!!!!!
(even though i don't update here often, remember to check my cbox here, visit my tumblr page (tomaroom.tumblr.com) and my toma's room community (toma-room.livejournal.com) for the most up-to-date news about toma!!!!!!!!!!! ♡♡)

OMG, IT'S PREMIERE TIME FOR GENJI TODAY IN JAPAN!!!! ^___^ THE MOVIE IS BEING RELEASED IN THEATRES TODAY, IT'S DECEMBER 10 IN JAPAN TIME!!!! I ALMOST FORGOT. LOL. I WISH I COULD WATCH IT SO BADDDDDDD. BUT I'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT. =/

http://toma-room.livejournal.com/60912.html

before i continue, i wanna say real quick that we're still having a SLEEPOVER AT TOMA'S ROOM!! xD to celebrate the 1st anniversary (on Dec.6). we're doing memes, voting on a poll, talking about other fandoms and pj's and having some confessions too. COME JOIN US AND HELP US REACH 100 COMMENTS!!!! :D :D :D

SO..... IN THE LAST 2 WEEKs OR SO, SUDDENLY A TON OF NEW TOMA STUFF, AND I'VE TRIED MY BEST TO COVER IT ALL. (i guess there will a lot more news for a while, so i'll try to update again in a week or 2, i guess...) IT'S ALL REALLY EXCITING AND I REALLY THINK THAT GENJI COULD BE A BIG HIT MOVIE, BUT why doesn't toma cut his hair?????? i guess toma has a good reason for not getting a haircut yet (upcoming role requires long hair??), but his hair looks so plain and boring recently. =T also makes him look older. it's soooo distracting...he should look his best when promoting this movie, right?? not like a guy that really needs a haircut/new stylist (or at least needs his bangs trimmed!! lol). HE IS STILL REALLY CUTE ON MOST OF HIS TV APPEARANCES AND MAGAZINE PICS, BUT STILL.....!! HAIRCUT TIME!!! xD

well, it was kinda like this too, when he was promoting ningen, except the events/tv show appearances were more evenly spread out i think. it's a little overwhelming this time, but it makes up for the BARELY ANY NEW TOMA NEWS OR VIDEO CLIPS for most of this year. lol. and i think it's easier 2 catch up with toma stuff since there's tumblr...? BUT THESE DAYS...TOMA MUST BE SUPER EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THIS STUFF + traveling around a lot!!! WHEW....gambatte, toma!!

http://tomaroom.tumblr.com/post/13932519248/ingenjimode-genji-genji-everywhere-genji-i

wow…..all the excitement over this movie!!!! (see the comments at arama and all over tumblr and this person's post: http://tomaroom.tumblr.com/post/13934069569/kazus-afjkjdfajlfdj-bokura-ga-ita-movie-trailer) :D :D mostly from the people who love the manga so much. i really hope they’ll approve of the movie after they watch it!! such high expectations!!! i guess this movie is supposed to follow the manga closely and have the same ending, so hopefully everyone will be happy with it.

but where's lalami??? yano's doggie. i read a few chapters of the manga and i loveeeee lalami. personally, i still don't think yuriko suits the look of nanami....she doesn't look like...right for the part?? but i guess i'll just have to wait and see. toma looks awesome as yano though. *__*


BUT...
THERE IS
SOME REALLY
BAD NEWS RECENTLY!!! =(

i thought only when he's 30, it'll happen. but it's suddenly happening now, and i'm really sad/mad about it!!! i was hoping toma would be on the cover of winkup or duet during this genji promo period and have a nice big poster inside too, but it's not gonna happen. (i guess it's still possible in the future, though.) AND I THINK he won't be in myojo or popolo each month anymore either, because those count as idol magazines too, right? at least in the summer issue that i bought of popolo this year, only sho had a photoshoot 2 promote something and there was no arashi group photoshoot.


................ about toma's tv appearances!!!

TOMA HAS BEEN ON TONS OF TV SHOWS AND MAGAZINES LATELY!!! A LOT MORE THAN FOR NINGEN PROMOTION TIME!! *_* i'm happy about it, but it's hard to keep up with all this stuff!!! O__O here's some cute news about toma's reply to a dating question. haha... i wish there were a little bit of news about toma's most interesting tv interviews/appearances on shows, cuz TFS is still on hiatus, and i'll have no idea what toma's saying in any of these shows, and there are sooo many!! T_T

http://ikuta-toma.livejournal.com/712923.html
[DL the show here!! and there's another toma clip there too.]

i skipped through a lot of it, but i loved the part where toma was eating the curry rice and he looked up for a moment when the fans were cheering and smiled and laughed a little before he continued eating. *_* awwwwwwww. ~_________~

and this part was funny/weird!! xD but toma got hit (not really! just pretend! xD)!!

.............this seems like such a long time ago now,
but back on November 15, toma and the actress from the genji movie were at an xmas lighting ceremony!!! ^__^ i love seeing toma at all these big events!! and i wrote about toma and i going to this place to look at the xmas lights in my fic a few years ago, so i think it's so awesome that toma got to do this. hehe. AND of course, just like toma, he joked about feeling like he should ask her out cuz it was so pretty and romantic there. hahaha... oh, and toma also said "the movie is as sparkling as the illumination. So please watch it.” (credit: tokyohive)

-vol. 457: toma went to a photoshoot for Genji wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt. xD

-vol. 458: he's been really busy because he has to appear on so many television shows and he feels like he doesn't even have time to go home much. =/

-vol. 459: he got a lot of questions from people for his corner, Toma's Garden, and he thanks everyone, but he has no time to read them all. he thanks the people who came to he kyoto premiere of Genji. He will start going to many different places to promote the movie, so please wait for him to come...

-vol. 461 (nov. 22): he had a successful theater event at fukuoka and thanks everyone who were there. he's really happy about it and loves to see so many people. but it's so cold there, so he hopes he won't get sick.

-vol. 462 (nov. 26): done promoting the movie in hokkaido. he thanks everyone. they were there for a long time, but he had a nice time because it's his hometown. after all, it's a fun place to be.
