[Movie] Kisaragi

I've uploaded Shun's 2007 movie Kisaragi!


you can watch it here.

Here's a overview of what the story is about:

One year after the suicide of C-list model Miki, five of her fans come together for a commemorative meeting: fan club leader Iemoto, Oda Yuji, Snake, Yasuo, and Ichigo Musume.

Sitting down together for the first time, they reminisce about their idol, wondering how someone so bright and beautiful could have possibly taken her own life. It just doesn't make sense.

That's when they reach a revelation - she must have been murdered! The five heatedly discuss her death, expressing their suspicions and weighing the many clues and possibilities.

The more they talk, the more the case takes shape in their minds, and the closer they come to the truth.
--------------

This movie starts of pretty slow...but trust me, the story gradually gets better & more interesting!

Ratings update (Oct 21)

Here's another ratings update...

Average ratings for Tenchijin ep 42 aired on Sunday was 18.2%, a good rise from last week.

But, what we all most want to know is how did Shun's new drama Tokyo DOGS did for its premier episode on Monday? Right? Well, I can tell you that the drama is on to a very strong start! The rating for ep 1 was 18.7%!Yay! Hopefully it continues with this streak throughout its airing period!

[news] Oguri’s cast is slowly getting leaked

Oguri’s cast is slowly getting leaked [15/10/09]:

The big names that are going to appear in Oguri Shun’s (26) directorial debut "Someday" are getting leaked left and right. The movie itself is supposed to open next spring and it already got leaked that Koide Keisuke (25) is going to get the starring role while Inoue Mao (22) and Ueto Aya (24) have also been mentioned to be part of the cast among many other big stars.

Oguri didn’t have much problems with finding his starring actor. He asked Koide and he immediately gave his agreement. Of course it won’t be a movie just with Koide. Inoue Mao and Abe Tsuyoshi (27) are going to co-star in this movie as well. Oguri’s junior Tanaka Kei (25) will have a role too, as well as his stage mate Katsudzi Ryo (23), Muro Tsuyoshi (33), Yoshida Koutarou (50) and a couple more.

Other interesting additions are the young rising actor Miura Haruma (19), the always amazing actress Konishi Manami (30) and not to forget Tenchijin’s big star and popular commercial actor Tsumabuki Satoshi (28). The latter is actually a very close friend of Oguri and so it was no surprise for him wanting to support is friend’s directorial debut. Movie insiders also claim that it’s his intention to have a suitable role for the always popular Ueto Aya who already starred in many movies and doramas up to now.

a star-studded cast indeed! and some of the actors Shun invited are good friends of his!
I'm thrilled that Mao-chan is included! I miss ShuMao!and Abe Tsuyoshi too, he has become close friends with Shun since HYD.
I was expecting Ueto Aya because she was rumored to be in the movie before..but I didn't expect Koide Keisuke though...he & Shun had worked together before in 2007 for 'Kisaragi', I guess they've become good friends since then.
I was hoping he would invite his close buddy Matsujun too! seems like he didn't...maybe Matsujun's too busy with his Arashi commitments? *shrugs*
I also heard a rumor previously that Shun had also asked Yamapi from NewS to appear in the movie...now I guess not.

But there's still no official announcements on the casts yet, so at the moment, these are just the rumored casts...some of them might not appear in the movie after all.
I hope Mao-chan & Abe Tsuyoshi are true! It would be like a mini HYD reunion!though it would be even better with Matsujun & Masuda Shota included too!

[news] Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro Not "Partners" But "Lovers"?

Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro Not "Partners" But "Lovers"? [10/10/09]:

On October 8th at a hotel in Odaiba, Tokyo, a press conference was held for the new TV drama series to begin on October 19th titled ‘東京DOGS / Tokyo DOGS'. On that day a typhoon had landed and weather conditions were very bad. But Oguri Shun was unfazed. He seemed more excited about playing for the first time a lead role in a ‘getsuku' drama. [‘Gestsuku; 月9' literally means Mondays from 21:00. It is widely considered the time when the most popular dramas are broadcast.] “I hope the storm will bring in good luck for the drama. I'm going to give the drama all I've got.” Oguri plays the role of an elite detective belonging to the NYPD. Costar Mizushima Hiro becomes a police officer who is part of the Special Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department. Together the two men tackle a hard to crack criminal case.
Along with Oguri and Mizushima, Yoshitaka Yuriko also attended the conference. She plays the role of a ‘mysterious woman'. Standing beside the two good-looking actors, Yoshitaka made everyone laugh by commenting “I'm beginning to have special feelings for the two. How can I help it?”

Oguri was then asked if he recently had felt any ‘special feelings' for somebody. Oguri answered “After filming on location in New York, we got on a plane to go back home. Hiro-kun began sleeping next to me, and when I saw his beautiful face I thought ‘I won't mind becoming lovers with Hiro.'” Mizushima quickly responded to Oguri's show of affection by talking about something that happened when the two actors had appeared in the same late-night music program. “When we were waiting back stage for our turn to appear, I told Shun-kun “You don't look like the type that gets nervous.” But he answered “Actually, I can't stand these kinds of situations.” He looked meek and very cute. He is usually extremely passionate about his work, but the way he acted that day was markedly different. He was really adorable.” After hearing Mizushima's comments Oguri quickly shot back “Let's start seeing each other after the whole drama's complete.”
