Smile

[dangermousie]

Apparently, Smile, Matsujun and Aragaki Yui's new drama, is going to guest-star Oguri Shun. EEEE!

I have also found a rather odd official teaser for it on youtube:

Still, the thing that excites me most about this drama is not even Matsujun but the fact that it's the screenwriter for Hanadan and Utahime, both of which I love with a mad love.

Oh, and apparently the rumor is that Matsujun's character is a former gang member or criminal (not sure which) who is trying to keep to the straight and narrow after jail? If true, even more exciting.

ETA: Because I am bizarre, the thing I mainly thought during that weird teaser was "wow, Matsujun's hair looks like it did in that movie about incestuous twins. I really hope AY doesn't play a sibling :D"

I need to double check this, but I'm pretty sure Aragaki Yui DOES play a sibling -- and I think she's mute too or something? But don't worry, I'm pretty sure there's no siblingcest in this (...as far as I know, at least).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I checked and she is, indeed, mute, but is not a sibling but some girl he meets (unless they are going for a kdrama-type 'secret unknown sibling' story, yikes). Much better. One matsujun sibcest story is plenty enough for me :)

Shun?! Okay, sold. I'm easy like that.

Also, Jun's hair totally DOES look like it did in Boku wa Imoto ni Koi o Suru... I kinda like it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I like the hair too (anything is better than Domyouji's HYD Season 1 perm, though) but the memories of Boku wa are less than welcome :) (sibcest I could deal with but boring sibcest? Too much of a combo. How one could make a movie about twins boinking each other arthousey-dull I don't know, but they managed).

God, MatsuJun's perm in season 1 haunts my nightmares.

Really?! I actually loved Boku wa Imoto ni Koi o Suru. Probably fare more than I should have, considering. But I like slow movies like that, so that probably explains it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I didn't carefor Boku because it felt like nothing happened...

Ahhh, the perm! *shudder* They gave him quite nice hair in S2 so no idea what they were thinking in S1. I didn't stop thinking he was hideous (though I rapidly stopped caring because I was won over by his acting/character asap) throughout HYD1 and then I saw Gokusen and went 'whoa, he is actually good-looking!" Heee.

It's a lot more... interesting in the manga. Even the anime OVAs are faster paced. It was distinctly strange seeing them after watching the movie.

I hated all of the F4's hair in season 1 (Shun's wasn't terrible, but not amazing either). I think I had the exact same reaction to him! He never really came across as attractive to me until I saw Gokusen. It's amazing how one bad perm can alter someone's looks!

ooh, oguri shun and matsujun in one screen again. Yey!

from other comments I can see it is not about sibcest. Good. I would say it if was, "again? boring!!!" the movie certainly wasn't special.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It's amazing you can make a twincest movie dull, but they did! A miracle!

I'm looking forward to this one, as you said, because of the writer. I love HYD and watched Utahime over the weekend. Utahime is love. I took the teaser to mean that the three main characters are smiling on the outside, while they fall apart on the inside. I know Matsujun's character will have to deal with the race issue and that he has "issues," but I've heard nothing of a criminal past.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Got the criminal thing here:

The trailer interpretation thing makes sense. Ooooh, can't wait to watch!

[walkwithheroes.livejournal.com]

Okay. The criminal past adds a bit more to the character. I like that. I wonder if there will be a connection between his past and the girl being mute? She did become mute because of an "accident"

I really hope AY doesn't play a sibling

You know you just jinxed yourself and that will inevitably happen. XD After all, the trailer makes it look angsty and that'll just add to the angst. Ohohoho.

I'm not checking it out because I'm not too fond of Yui, but I'm excited for Konkatsu!, surprisingly. XD [/random]

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You know you just jinxed yourself and that will inevitably happen.

LOLOLOL. She is already mute in the story, does she really need to have sibcest too? :)

What is Konkatsu about/who with?

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

Lol, it could happen~ XD

Drama-wiki page for it. I don't know if you know any of them? Other than Sato Ryuta, who was in Utaihime. Maybe Ueto Aya? I just want to see it because Ueda (a Johnny's) is in it and it's his first drama role, and also because the commercial for it makes it look interesting.

...okay, not really, but the females just look so pretty and jazzed up and I know who everyone is. Mostly.

Eeeeeek I can't wait to watch this!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[prettierdanpink.livejournal.com]

OH MY. SHUN?! ♥ totally watching. And is this the drama wherein Jun's a half-Filipino? I AM SO EXCITED! Aragaki Yui is one of my faves too :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's the one!

[akosikae.livejournal.com]

Squeee!
