This looks like an interesting movie. Tsuyoshi Kusanagi as a lusty blind masseur...OMG...this is going to be funny!!! Looking forward to it.

Last year, Kimura played blindman in Bushi no Ichibun and this year, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi has accepted the movie 山のあなた～徳市の恋～ You in the mountains: The love of Yawata (I'm not sure if this is Yawata of Kyoto or Hiroshima , title to be confirmed.)

This story is based on the work of Hiroshi Shimizu called "Masseur and the girls" and the setting is the hot springs in the mountain. The story is about the love story with a girl.  Tsuyoshi has always have an honest style to him but in the movie he would play the role of a lusty masseur in Yawata City. His character is arrogant which is contrary to his normal image.  Because he has rarely any rumors about him, he joked, "Basically, I like girls. Even though I don't have much rumors, and perhaps you might all misunderstand that I like man, but I am normal."

For this role, he is now receiving training from a massage instructior and his skills are quite perfect already according to him.

Kimura also played a blindman in last year's movie and Tsuyoshi's acting is has always been highly regarded. This will bring comparison between the two. The movie has already started filming for four weeks and will be released in 2008. The costars include Maiko, Shinichi Tsutsumi and Ryo Kase.

Kimura Takuya's What's Up SMAP Feb 15, 2006!!

I actually don't have much time to watch movies, let alone dramas and the huge number of TV shows of SMAP, Kinki Kids, V6 or TOKIO. Especially these two months with all the ups and downs at my home with my husband's health and the kids' exams.  But today, finally, I'm in the mood to catch up on a SMAP show since the kids' state tests are all over with, my husband's blood pressure is slightly better.  I haven't watched the bistro portion yet since every time I watch it, I get hungry, I watched the other parts. I was totally shocked to see Hugh Grants so old.... Well, I don't watch non-Asian stuff very much...haha...The last movie I watched of his was Notting Hill when he was just a pretty boy...haha...Anyway, I'm glad that Goro is always so comfortable with foreign artists.  Goro has also lost a lot of weight and becoming more his old self apart from his hair. He seriously need a haircut. But of most interest to me is the pottery portion.

AARRRGGGHHH!!! I have finally finished watched The Ideal Lover / 理想愛人 / 最高の恋人 / Saikō no Koibito (1995)by Goro Inagaki after a year and a half.  The last time I stopped at episode 4 and tonight, I needed to watch Goro's younger days. ARRRGGGGGHHH I need to say again how much I like him.  Even though he had fluffy hair and not as good looking as in 97-99 period, already he has an air about him that I can't ignore. OMG....I want to scream again...he is so good in this drama. He has to ward off the attention of his adopted sister who he had to raise for the last 15 years since their parents died, and their love is deeper than they could admit. From episode 6 onwards, I was near tears for every episode thereafter...Sigh...it's so good. Takahashi Yumiko was good! Perfect for the cheerful role...and I also like the neat looking courter, Ohura Ryuichi, who went to school with Goro. OMG, this drama is very much together without too much drag. I suppose it's because there's Goro in it and even if there is drag, I am blind to it. I love every moment he looked at his sister...*pull hair out*  I love every lonely moment he has...*pull more hair out* OMG...I love the last two episodes. The story is so smooth...argh....if only it could have been longer...if only they would show a bit more after this ending...aiya..!!!!!

I can't believe it. I have actually found 2007 statistical yearbook from Japan and it has some English in it and extremely comprehensive data. Perfect for busy bodies like me.  If you look at this table of Monthly Receipts and Disbursements per Household of Specific Households, you could see that a married man of Kimura's age (34) should be earning 7,308,000 yen per year. That's translated to US$5,075 per month or US$60,900 per year. Of course, Kimura earns more than that but it is definitely interesting for me to see that there are such figures. In the US, the average household income in 2006 was US$46,326. On this page of international comparison,  you would see the 2006 median income of the US, compared to Asian countries. Japan though not listed would probably be the same as the US.
