bury me in this dress

Bah! I don’t remember much about Gokusen except that Jun Matsumoto was great in season 1 and I felt gypped when he didn’t appear in season 2 which I haven’t watched yet. According to Sugoi Stuff, there’s going to be a Gokusen 3.

NTV will roughen up its Spring drama showcase with the triquel of its popular school drama - Gokusen.

Nakama Yukie will reprise her role for the third time as Yamaguchi Kumiko a.k.a. Yankumi - the granddaughter of a Yakuza boss turned high school Math teacher.

About 600 young actors initially auditioned for the various roles that will comprise Gokusen 3’s unruly class. It was trimmed down to 300 for the interview. The following six would play the lead protagonists (or rather, Yankumi-antagonists):

From left to right: Takaki, Miura H., Ishiguro, Nakama, Kiriyama, and Miura S.

Takaki Yuya (of Hey! Say! JUMP) will play the lead. He will be joined by fellow JE boys Nakama Junta and Kiriyama Akito of the group, B.A.D..

The other three are Miura Haruma (as Shiraishi Ryo in Binbo Danshi), Ishiguro Hideo (as Yabuki Taku in Gokusen 2), and new comer Shohei Miura.

Gokusen is based on an equally popular manga of the same title and was created by Morimoto Kozueko .

Most likely I’ll eventually watch this but I still think the series went downhill when Jun left.

I decided to totally sell out this blog. I figured that since I’m kinda providing free publicity to anyone willing to shell out 16 entrecard points *rolls eyes*, I might as well dive right in and get real moneh for advertising. So, this is just a warning about possible future posts that might seem so not me. Well, this post will be useless if my blog doesn’t get approved by pay per post and the likes. Ahhh…having no money sucks. I have like 100K pesos worth of credit card debt then there’s the trip to Japan this year. BTW, I also accept paypal donations :P

I know. My blog updates are all about Hana Yori Dango these days. I will post about other stuff besides dorama soon but for now, here are some HYD news.

The crew finished filming in Las Vegas last Feb. 29 and are now back in Japan. They’ll continue filming there this month. There are also news about what the film will be about.

“HYD-F will be 4 years after HYD2…..Tsukasa & Tsukushi start to prepare their wedding.
Tsukasa made the annocement to the public (remember during Janurary, MatsuJun did the so-call “Press Conference” scene in Tokyo?!)
and the very expensive wedding tiara (it costs 10 billion yen) was stolen by an unknow man(i am betting it’s nahito).
Both Tsukushi & Tsukasa went to different places (hk, las vegas, etc) to get it back with help of F3.
Please correct me if my translation is incorrcet. I am just a Japanese beginner”.

Last, the film is going to be called “Hana Yori Dango F”. F for final. Watch this clip. It’s a must even if there’s no subtitle.

I’m not into Korean dramas but I am actually looking forward to this. I became a fan of Meteor Garden, then became an even bigger fan of Hana Yori Dango, so I think it’s safe to say that I’ll become a fan of the Korean version.

I don’t know what the title of the Korean one will be. There’s also no news on who’s going to play who. All I know is that it will be long (24 episodes at 70 minutes each) and that it will be produced by Group Eight.

For more info. go to this site. He mentioned several actors and actresses but I have no idea who they are.
