High School Debut Live Action

Some time ago, I found this movie and then I watched it. After watched it, I thought even though the storyline's kind of typical shoujo mangas, but it was pretty good.

Summary:
Nagashima Haruna, a tomboy girl decided to get a boyfriend once she got into high school. But unfortunately she wasn't really success fulfilling her dream to get a boyfriend because she was clueless how to do it well. Then she met Komiyama Yoh, a very popular guy in her school and asked him to be her coach in order to teach her about how to attract boys. At first he refused it, but then he agreed to do it with one condition, that she wouldn't fell in love with him. After a while Yoh spent much time together with Haruna as her coach, they started to have feeling to each other. But then some problems came up and all those problems then could be solved by them with their friend's helping. At the end, they confessed to each other and that way Haruna finally fulfilled her dream to get a boyfriend.

Cast List:
Mizobata Junpei as Komiyama Yoh
Ono Ito as Nagashima Haruna
Suda Masaki as Tamura Fumiya
Aizawa Rina as Komiyama Asami
Furukawa Yuki as Asaoka Yui

Commentary:
This live action was based on manga titled Koukou Debut (高校デビュー) or High School Debut in English, but truthfully I didn't read the manga. This movie wasn't boring because the movie didn't take a long time and really was funny. I laughed quite a lot when I was watching this movie. And I thought Mizobata Junpei <333 was so cool in this movie. I began to like him since his acting in Detective Conan, which I wrote in this post. I think wearing a uniform suits Mizobata Junpei best XDD. And for other characters. in my opinion they were good enough.

Found the trailer on Youtube..

Arakawa Under the Bridge Live Action

I watched Arakawa Under the Bridge some time ago and I got impressions that this anime was ~~very weird and~~ funny. This anime has 2 seasons. The news about Arakawa Under the Bridge live action was already spread for some time. It's said that there will be a live action dorama and movie. The dorama will start airing in late July 2011 and has 10 episodes, while the movie will be released in spring 2012 with the same casts.

Riku and Nino

Synopsis:

Sister, Maria and P-Ko

Ichinomiya Kou is a heir of successful Ichinomiya Company. One day, he falls in to Arakawa river and then saved by a mysterious girl named Nino. After he realizes that he owes his life to Nino, he asks her to say what he must do as a pay back. Then Nino says that Kou must become her boyfriend. Since he doesn't want in debt, Riku accepts that and begin to live in under Arakawa bridge where Nino lives after he's named Riku by the village chief, Soncho. Not long after that, Riku finds out that all the villagers under the bridge are weird. Then the story revolves around Riku's daily life under the bridge together with Nino and all the villagers.

Cast List:
Hayashi Kento as Riku
Kiritani Mirei as Nino
Oguri Shun as Soncho
Yamada Takayuki as Hoshi
Shirota Yuu as Sister
Katase Nana as Maria
Abe Natsumi as P-Ko
Tezuka Tooru as Shiro
Hiranuma Norihisa as Billy
Arisaka Kurume as Jacqueline
Tokunaga Eri as Stella
Suruga Taro as Last Samurai
Sueoka Takuto as Tetsuo of the Tetsujin Kyoudai

Billy, Jacqueline and Stella

Mashika Raito as Tetsuro of the Tetsujin Kyoudai

Commentary:

Shiro, Last Samurai and Tetsujin Kyoudai

Actually I am little bit disappointed because there're some things in the characters appearances which showed up in the anime but will not show up in the live action such as, Nino's blond hair, Maria's pink hair and Stella's blond hair. I think Hayashi Kento plays as Riku is a right choice. Kento is fit to the role. I recognize Kiritani Mirei who plays as Nino since she played in Hana Kimi, Otomen and Kimi Ni Todoke. I hope she will act well in both dorama and movie. In my opinion, a person who plays as masked character doesn't have to be someone famous. But, the contrary happens in this live action. As you can see in the cast list, Oguri Shun plays as Soncho. I ~~hate~~ "don't really like" Soncho character in the anime but in this live action, my number one favorite actor plays this role. Oooooh nooooo! I beg you to stop, Oguri Shun! Why it must be him!? For God's sake! I am in a dilemma. When I knew it for the first time, I was speechless and didn't know how to react. But I knew it's too late now to stop it, so I must accept it as it is T_T (terribly sorry for exaggerating this). And for the other casts, I hope that they will perform well.
