[*will keep on updating...
regarding stage plays and related stuff]

  • TALK LIKE SINGING


katori shingo in “Talk Like Singing”
performance on 23.1.2010 till 7.3.2010.

after made his off-Broadway musical theater [Japan's original piece]  at Skirball Center for Performing Arts, NYU, mitani koki currently continuing the show in home country with same casts – katori shingo, jay kabira, horiuchi keiko and niiro shinya. music directed by yasuharu konishi [member of 198o's Pizzicato Five].


just to refresh back the plot:
the story of Tarlow (Shingo) – a young man who cannot talk but only sing. There was a band consisted of  four-man resided in his head which the reason of why he could only communicate by singing. He went seeing a speech therapist, Dr. Nimoy (Keiko Horiuchi) and a psychologist, Dr. Dyson (Jay Kabira). With therapy and hypnotize treatment, each member of the four-man band eliminated. At last.. for the first time in his life, Tarlow was able to talk without singing. He even didn’t hear any singing voices in his head. However, later on… he started feeling unhappy and missing the songs.


in general, Talk Like Singing is a universal comedy musical. a mitani koki’s type of humor. with the first exposure at NY last time, i hope shingo would prove to the world that he’s a talented actor, not just ordinary idol. ~ Koshiro-san, in this 3-months period, spend time to watch him, ne.. bring your beloved wife and grandchildren too!

  • ZOU [ELEPHANT]


inagaki goro in “Elephant @ ZOU”
performance on 5.3.2010 till 30.3.2010.

goro would be the lead cast here. his co-stars are okina megumi and my favorite osugi ren. the last time goro did the main character was two years ago. The story is based on Betsuyaku Minoru’s early work [one of his best]. it’s about the hardships and the sufferings of those atomic bomb’s victims. the story would try to revolve around humanistic issues – their vulnerability and sacrifice.

somehow i like this kind of plot~ atomic bomb. i’m always curious and admire how that country could struggle and re-born after the big historical event. i wonder if it wasn’t happened, how my country would be now on the mark of Japanese administrative compared to British imperial system.

by the way, with the same theme of Atomic Bombing
[1]matsu takako did a special drama “Hiroshima Showa 20 nen 8 Gatsu Muika” – a first project of Nada Sou Sou song by natsukawa rimi.
[2] tanaka rena did a movie “Yunagi no Machi, Sakura no Kuni”
[3] matsushima nanako did her social responsibility as narrator in a documentary movie of “Gate~ A True Story @ Atomic Flame” – with theme song by yuna ito.


*last time, i was smiling; knewing his buutai press conference turned to be a media press of his private relationship with miho :P

  • MY TWO HUSBANDS AND MY SITUATION


matsu takako in “My Two Husbands and My Situation”.
performance on 17.4.2010 till 16.5.2010

the play is originally wrote by William Somerset Maugham in 1919. co-stars are danta yasunori and watanabe toru, as Matsu’s “husbands”. at first i thought it will be a serious story. but it’s not … hehe. after a series of serious stages done by matsu, this time will be a comedy.

the story is about a woman named Vicky who thought her husband has drowned and died. so she marries another man. but apparently her first husband is still alive and returns home. from there, the triangle of love and fight situation going to begin.

yasunori already started his promo on this play [interview's talk]. i’m expecting from matsu soon.

  • SAMURAI AND ROSE ~ GOEMONROCK OVERDRIVE


amami yuki in “Samurai and Rose ~ GoemonRock OverDrive”
performance on 18.3.2010 till 18.4.2010 (tokyo); 27.4.2010 till 13.5.2010 (osaka).


for several reasons, i’m really excited with this play. [1] it’s the Shinkansen production, under the same director of matsu’s Metal Macbeth. [2] the co-star is furuta arata who was the co-star of matsu’s play [Noda Map] Crime and Punishment. [3] furuta as samurai and amami as rose = goemon and lady oscar. [4] amami as lady oscar is my wish when rena did Haken no Oscar drama, last year [5] to me, it’s like a world of kabuki vs takarazuka revue on the same stage!

~ah, my imagination running wild to matsu and kimura in this kind of play. kimura as the one piece/pirate of the caribbean .. and matsu as the samurai woman.

since toma and matsu are known to have good friendships with shinkansen staff members, i wonder if they would spend time to come and watch amami [although matsu will busily practicing her buutai and toma might busy with his line of movies].

  • OKURIBITO [DEPARTURES]


tanaka rena in “Departure”
performance on 29.5.2010 till 6.6.2010 at akasaka [tokyo]; 9.6.2010 till 13.6.2010 at osaka; 16.6.2010 till 24.6.2010 at misonoza [nagoya]
it’s not just a stage play.. here you’ll enjoy musical concert too under musical director; joe hisaishi. rena as the wife of nakamura kantaro (matsu’s cousin) in this play.

remember Okuribito, one of the movie that won Oscar last year? this year, it will be transformed to stage play version; directed by G2. the stage version will gonna have some changes with the storyline, but the characters and concept will remain same.

this is a second stage for rena. she did debut last year “Memory Cards” which was well-received. her acting got recognition by stage people and audiences. matsu’s sister matsumoto kio who commenting in her diary, saying that rena did very well and natural that she didn’t looks like a first-timer. the audiences also gave good impression: saying that rena’s acting was unbelievably compelling. with her expression, the last 15 minutes part could moved hearts into tears.

frankly, i’m so glad that kantaro and rena being chosen in this big project. hopefully, she’ll do stage play with tsuyoshi.. or matsu.. or amami.

matsu now in her roadshow of concert tour. 20 songs + 7 MCs + 1 encore.
the final song is a new untitled/unreleased song.

SmaStation for second time aired “Smap 2010 Gambarimasu Chan To Shi Nai To Ne” . this time, all members got another tough challenges to do. shingo lived as Jomon people [Japanese Pre-History Era.. the era after paleolithic-mesolithic-neolithic]. goro’s task was to get 100 points for karouke singing within 24 hours. nakai as the survivor had to invade military within 12 hours. kimura had to totally change his diet for 3 days which required him to eat tomatoes only. tsuyoshi had to test his athletic skills/stamina – ran up to 50 hills.  i’m having fun watching the whole show.. after frustrated with SmaSma 4.5 Hours Special last time.

[Four] 15 jan 2010
after Kyumei Byoto drama last year, nanako matsushima changed her hairstyle much shorter. but she’s cute – really looks fresh.

i love this year nintendo wii fit commercials.. especially the checkered shirt!

amami yuki also did her her new commercial of Suntory Dakara soft drink.. with usual appearance of the Extra Brothers. she also will come up with new AEON English commercial soon.

otaka matsu really lovely in latest Yamazaki bread’s commercials.. blue and pink. really reminds me of otaku. matsu will going to endorsed Kirin soon.

meanwhile arisa did new ‘4-months free kimono dressing class’ campaign for wasao. i like the commercials.. arisa really feminine.. [sigh] how i wish arisa will be in Flowers Tsubaki movie.

…….

[Three] 13 jan 2010
log in internet – i already overwhelmed with news of upcoming FLOWERS TSUBAKI movie. since end year last time, my friends and i kept tsubaki tsubaki here and there. frankly, i was soooooo sad when rena wasn’t in tsubaki commercials 2009. coz i’m root for yukie & rena combi. in 2008 and 2006, rena tanaka and nakama yukie were always next to each other.

for this movie, rena and yukie will be sisters with yuko takeuchi as the oldest one. from synopsis given, rena tanaka as midori will be in summer 1955 while nakama yukie as sato will be in autumn 1975.

midori as career-minded woman. but when her boyfriend proposed, she needs to choose between career or marriage. sato as a mother and wife who’s pregnant with second child, because of her weak body.. she’s probably couldn’t deliver the baby safely.

there are other casts which are my favorite – aoi yu, suzuki kyoka, ryoko hirosue. in general, this FLOWERS movie is about six stories of six women which are related by bloodline.

i’m so sad arisa didn’t join the list of cast.. but at least we want SMAP too in this project.. onegaishimasu~
……..
[Two] 11 jan 2010

o-ha! o-zaimasu…  it’s already morning!
let’s back to the past. last night, i was clearing part of my recycle bin…
i restored, recycled and did some touch-up to some of low quality caps.
this was taken from Ii Tomo Autumn Special 2009.

Amami Yuki won the highest point for palm reading.. her career, health and personal life are considered perfect.. na, what about future love :) but for face-reading, Fumo Chitai team chose the wrong answer which cause the game ended so quickly. amami was so cute at the back. to see more caps of Amami Yuki, Fumo Chitai and Tokyo DOGS team with Nakai-kun…
go to Refreshment Hall

i also upload new two fan videos..
gomen, no preview.. i dunno why my youtube uploader was sucked since the end of last year. to download smap ladies mori b’z.. go to Click Me Shoot Me

…….
[One] 5 jan 2010
domo. just drop by.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 everyone!

i’m still around, watching, reading and tracking all my all-stars.
[so many end year-early year videos i need to watch, phew]

since past week, i opened those my big boxes at the back of my room. and checked all my old dramas VCD/DVDs. one by one. bit worried as some already scratched and unreadable due to excessive using [i'm drama/movie maniac after all]. and most of that old stuff are not available on shelf anymore. uwaa, my treasure .. doshio kana XD

i already start video-making again after half of year hiatus. on new year’s night, i did mv for mori-kun and smap and ladies. and from the list i jot down yesterday.. 18 more videos need to do. lol, take it lisya. how am gonna do that with my hectic life-schedule. …. yosh, gambarimasu!

also NakaNaka’s relationship already shifted another level. really fun. seems they already comfortable with each other. NakaNaka already came up to the same level of KimuMatsu, ne. people would talk just if they’re a part of each other.

i hope matsu already finished filming her Confession movie. she’s preparing for her concert tour now. and she gonna do a stage play .. “My Two Husbands and My Situation”. hekhek, what a title. omoshiroi na.

kimura’s Yamato Space Battleship trailer already released. kakkoii! after ignored his previous movies [2046 and I Come with the Rain] .. i’m really looking forward to this movie. Reason [1] Yamato is his favorite anime [2] i love all the casts.

… on the other hands, kimura was already turned down Mr Brain movie [rumor]. yokatta ne, he should! ^^ because i know he’s waiting for someone-something. already waiting for too long! they already promised each other, deshou. as expected, that’s so kimura anyway. he doesn’t like sequel. not even special episode.

the only he did was LoveGene SP, HERO SP, HERO movie…. and yes, those with matsu. even special drama tanpatsu Chuushingura 1/47 also got matsu [his most memorable scene]. huu, that’s the power of taku-taka-together!

now help us God. gimme back Josai. gimme back kuryu-amamiya. gimme back HERO. oh, we want HERO 2.

DECEMBER 2009
- i miss so much with ShinGoro

- and i miss suki-kirai-suki pairs .. TsuTaku and NakaiShinGoro

- i haven’t track smap for almost half of year, so when i try.. suddenly i miss mori-kun .. and i check the latest of him. mori-kun, hontou ni kakkoii yo! he still super idol of autorace ^^

- because of mori, i rewind back all SMAP SIX.

- because of rena and arisa’s news, i’ve mood to smap softbank

SANKYU DECEMBER
end year magazine photos – for TsuTaku and Nakai-Shin-Goro pair photos

Sanma Smap’09 - for Sekai and Dear Women songs…
[smap-matsu'03 and smap-tsubaki ladies]

Smap Softbank
- for putting Sekai song for Xmas Roof Top and putting ShinGoro together at the back.
- for NY Night, i could see a glimpse of Phantom of Opera bilboard — remind me of  B’z Love Phantom and SmaTour’08 theme [and my kimumatsu fanvideo as well].

IiTomo Xmas Special

–> for Shingo wearing blue white costume .. color of Goro Chef — the power of ShinGoro!

–> for Tsuyoshi won the palm reading and Shingo at the back quietly kept bowing proudly on behalf of Tsu. — remind me how great the relationship of Tsu-Rena-Shingo.

–> having Bakusho Mondai and Tokui — remind me of TsuRena


—> Tsu did monomane as Kasuga [Audrey] — remind me of Miho who is a big fan of Kasuga-san


–> that pink clothes of kasuga audrey — remind me of pink nakai with nakama at kouhaku press and meeting last year.

Stop The SMAP radio
- for shingo mentioned arisa’s name again!
if nakanaka’s diary in SGS radio and kimumatsu’s diary in WUS radio… shinarisa’s diary and tsurena’s diary would be in STS radio.

oh STS also got shinyuko or shinyuuka or shiniijima [haha, shingo always mentioned so many women's name... but miho and arisa will forever remains smap childhood friends and rena as his good buddy].

Kouhaku 2009


- for NakaNaka again.. together with children kouhaku segment [Nozomi Ponyo singer as Red Captain and Kato Seishiro Ninkyo Helper's boy as White Captain].


if nakama holding nozomi’s hamd and nakai holding kato’s hand .. it’ll be like a family portrait  —-> remind me of takeno-amami [otosan-okasan] and their BOSS kids photo shoot last time.


- last year Koshiro-san was the jury… this year, Ryo-san [Shingo] appointed as the jury for children —> remind me how good koshiro and shingo .. shingo always took kimura as brother, and matsu as sister[in-law]. koshiro-san must be proud shingo already fulfilled his promise to do musical/buutai.


basically koshiro-san is a big fan of smap x smap. besides P-chan, he also followed shingo’s bistro oishii reaction. still remember koshiro-san was really happy when shingo did a great job for short kabuki skit as part of the reaction, when koshiro came as a guest for the third timein year 2005.

Tak Matsumoto’s Favorite 2009 Album
- he listed 5 favorite 2009 albums, one of them is Superfly – Box of Emotion album. which included ‘Alright!’ and ‘My Best of My Life’ tracks … those are BOSS theme songs deshou! yatta, at last something connected between b’z and takenoamami!


i wonder if he also watched the drama .. haha, imagined Tak Boss watched BOSS. now, who’s the boss? lol. to me from my own view, tak matsumoto and nakai-kun got some similar traits ..  they’re 1001 faces, a leader aka mob boss. talking are their hobby. very cheerful guys. although sometimes we could see tak and nakai less of words or smile shyly. thanks to our LEADERS tak and nakai, b’z and smap stay strong!

kouhaku2009

•December 17, 2009 • 2 Comments

countdown for 60th Kouhaku 2009. the return of NakaNaka as Hosts.
hehe, i was laughing to Five’s imagination story. sugoii yo.

nakai-kun, sudeni kanojo no denwa bango wo tazune ta?
lorr.. HAYAKU!!


……………………

i was happy knowing nakai-kun mentioning nakama in SGS radio show on last 28.11.2009. and i’m crazily crack here.

so phone number or email address already became old issue, na. the most current point here is .. “she likes me too, right? she must be.. or else she wouldn’t want to do this with me again, rite.” sou da yo, it’s already third time for NakaNaka co-hosting Kouhaku together. and everybody seems looking forward to the show. it’s 60th Kouhaku. i hope this is not the final show for NHK channel. coz i wanna see NakaNaka more.

at least it’s the best cure for me who can’t see goromiho, tsurena, shinarisa at this moment. on the other hands, i still can watch kimumatsu as their dramas and movie are still re-runs by FujiTV and people from variety will still mentioning them time to time.

…………………………………..

2010 SMAP gonna be 22 Years. same like B’z.
it’s been months i haven’t catch up with smappu.
while i was tracking back them for few minutes… suddenly..
suddenly i miss Mori-kun.

i changed my mind. decided to turn back time to SMAP SIX.
mori-kun is important to me. finding him means finding back smap childhood memory.. and that would include my skool time memory. their old songs always cherish me no matter what. and old smasma series were better than nowadays right. a treasure. this will always keep in my treasure.

mori-kun, in whatever you do.. ganbatte ne! good luck for your autorace. thnx for keep in touch .. take a good care of the other members, yoroshiku-ne.

dari petikan ‘di bawah lindungan kaabah’ oleh hamka:

“…baru sekarang adinda beroleh berita di mana abang sekarang. telah hampir dua tahun hilang saja dari mata, laksana seekor burung yang terlepas dari sangkarnya sepeninggal yang empunya pergi. kadang-kadang adinda sesali diri sendiri, agaknya adinda telah bersalah besar, sehingga kekanda pergi dengan tak memberi tahu lebih dahulu.

hanya kepada surat abang itu, surat yang hanya sekali itu dinda terima selama hidup, adinda tumpahkan air mata, kerana hanya menumpahkan air mata itulah kepandaian yang paling perhabisan bagi orang perempuan. tetapi surat itu bisu, meskipun ia telah lapuk dalam lipatan dan telah layu kerana kerap dibaca, rahsia itu tidak juga dapat dibukanya.

sekarang Abang, badan adinda sakit-sakit, ajal entah berlaku pagi hari, entah besok petang, gerak Allah siapa tahu. besarlah pengharapan bertemu…”

salam aidil-adha buat smua.
moga bertemu apa yang dicari. beroleh jua apa yang diharap.
… kasih, infak, redha, barakah dan pengorbanan …

oxygen

•November 3, 2009 • Leave a Comment

oh no.. i can’t breath. could someone bring me more oxygen tank. [laugh]. after one, came another one. non-stop. so many happy news flying around.oh my,  i’m dying in this kind of sweetness.

cvr6830
it’s november now. i’m waiting to buy the latest full album of B’z Magic and Matsu Takako Time For Music.

sahara
and i can’t wait for Slash [Guns N' Roses] solo album which featured Koshi Inaba B’z in SAHARA song. haha, i love Slash. and i’m so happy. among all the vocalists in this world, he choose Inaba-san.

mltcover
weeks ago, i received B’z single album “My Lonely Town” and Matsu Takako single album “Kimi to Nara”. love it, love it, love it!! the arrangement of music and the lyrics.

lisf
and i love My Lonely Town PV. such a great idea by choosing Hashima Island [well-known as Battleship Island] as the background. somehow this reminds me of nakanaka’s Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai theme PV [by Mr Children].

ymt
oh, talking about Battleship.. kimura now filming a new movie Space Battleship Yamato -  a live action of Japanese science-fiction anime “Uchuu Senkan Yamato” – one of his favorite anime. the casts consist many my favorite stars!

67000
and kimi to nara? haha, another bold message from otaka to otaku. matsu was so cute during the recording at Bellflower, Los Angeles. another thing, i was surprised that i really like the cover song of 500 Miles. i didn’t like the original english folk song, but the japanese version was really good.. thanx to otaka’s sweet voice. oh, Imawano was the one who did translated the song into japanese. and to me, the lyric of 500 Miles is a part of her message too. 500 Miles – Hedy West song really reminds me of SxS ~ Most Wanted 5 Women.. the first guest: ishihara mariko …. the part of shinkansen station.. and “yappari, she’s my soul mate” conversation – the part which suddenly kimura gave a BIG interest. hikhik.

the effect? the impact?!
i had a miraculous night dream.. where B’z and SMAP were singing “Ichibu to Zenbu” in front of me. haha. it was a great collaboration. with perfect sounds and best choreography.  somehow it’s looks like a mini concert to me. yeah, it’s just a dream. but i’m already satisfied.

and kimumatsu hyper mode suddenly hit me again. which turned myself to re-run LongVac, LoveGene, HERO, HERO Movie and all SmaSma Matsu guest in 2 days in a row! seriously, my heart was soaked with 1001 mixed-feelings. and my brain couldn’t recognized the definition of happiness and sadness. so what should i name this emotion? once in a blue moon mood?

recently, latest ANAN magazine released… it’s SMAP. talking about the signs of love from them to women… and the signs of love they catch from those women. Ararara~ reading that, one by one… how should i say.. it’s like their love confession to the ladies. that ladies aka my ladies aka their ladies. and the most obvious one is TsuRena. [giggling, squealing, almost screaming inside]. i’m so happy. strong confirmation that my sense and hypothesis are significant and relevant. lol. i become TsuRena fandom since the poster of Ryokiteki na Kanojo released. before the news and trailer or whatever stuff shown up. before the drama on-aired. imagine.. just looking to the poster, i could sense the rabu rabu white smoke around them. after Ninkyo Helper and Ballad and Haken no Oscar… tsurena is still there.

in SmaStation, in Tsuki Ichi Goro corner, goro gave his comment by saying matsu was wonderful and the most beautiful in Villon’s Wife movie. huhu, i really like to hear what goro would say about kanno miho’s upcoming ‘Permanent Wild Rose’ movie, next year.

i should say i was happy with matsu Jane Eyre musical play and Villon’s Wife movie. i think i already mentioned those many times at many places. i’ve heard another rumor last May, but now.. it’s official:

20565
Matsu in another great movie KOKUHAKU (Confession) – based on the famous mystery novel by Minato Kanae.
Matsu will play the leading role, a junior highschool teacher [single unmarried mother] whose daughter died at the school’s pool while waiting for her finishing her work. Somehow she believe that her daughter has been murdered by two of her students. For that she quit her job and promise that she will reveal the murderers. This best-selling year 2008 novel already received many awards.

okada masaki and kimura yoshino are among the co-stars. this movie is directed by Nakashima Tetsuya who worked with SMAP many times. nakashima also did PVs for matsu Minna Hitori and smap Sotto Kyutto too, ya’know.  hikhik, is this another coincidence?

a
now, i’m dokidoki waiting this mid-November…
emm, what else.. 2009 NHK Kouhaku Uta-Gassen hosts..
my vote card still for NakaNaka [NAKAi masahiro x NAKAma yukie].

monologue

•October 21, 2009 • Leave a Comment

This morning i attended AMOS workshop at another university. near to my hometown. actually, i was there because i’ve been invited by the lecturer who’s also the speaker. and almost all the participants were lecturers and staffs. and i was the only one ‘outsider’.

it’s a good opportunity as i learned new knowledge for 2 days without paying any fees. moreover it’s coincidentally useful for my research analysis. but somehow.. surrounding myself with those academicians, emm.. make myself become more and more and more inferiority.

postgraduate programs are not just about scrolls and transcripts. not even the title of ‘Dr.’ at the beginning of my name. it’s about research. it’s about knowledge. and how Islamic teachings could encounter in my daily life. how much i’ve learned Islamic teaching about business marketing, tourism, corporate communication, media, journalism, entertainment, sustainability and socio-cultural?!

qlt

Islam encourages us to learn and provides us the freedom of research. by doing the research, knowledge is pursued with humility and modesty which bring us closer to our God, The Creator. then we’ll find the freedom, dignity and mind gratification. knowledge. no matter how deep we try to explore and acquire it, the knowledge must be linked with good values and positive goals.

ah~ i feel more inferior.
hope this gonna make me keep on moving forward.

rnk1

Day Two.
i found my dream.
what i wanna do for a long-term contribution to minority and locals.
