If there's one show or shows people will remember Ito Hideaki by, it has to be Umizaru. I imagine his portrayal of Senzaki did wonders for Japan Coast Guard recruitment. There's also the wacky Kudo Kankuro comedy in 2003 Boku no Mahoutsukai.

Some months ago I saw him in an interview together with Hasegawa Kyoko for Kodoku no Kake, and when the announcer was trying to help them drum up buzz for that drama - "the audience will like it, blah blah blah" - and he said that on the contrary they may fall asleep. And what do you know, he was right. (I watched only two episodes, but I don't believe it became any better.) Therefore my impression of him is a guy who says it as it is. Of course, I could be wrong, since that was just a moment.

^ I agree with you there. So far I think his most high profile role has definetly been the Umizaru series, so it only makes sense that people would remember him as Senzaki Daisuke and plus, the story is one that kind of appeals to all types of people unlike some others he's done like Kodoku no Kake or Blister.

Yeah, I watched all of Kodoku no Kake and it didn't get much better until the last couple episodes. I'm surprised he would say that but I like that honest quality in him. He probably knew no matter what he said people weren't gonna respond really well to that show, i bet he was kicking himself after he signed on to star in that. But at least he's got a lot of credibility to his name, so he'll be fine.

always been lurking around but never find the urge to register until saw Laurenski's call in FK's thread. Tongue

liked him after watchin his performance in Yasha and Ai o kudasai~ since the, wouldn't miss out anything that he starr in....

love to meet others who like him~~ will come back and check more often. Wub

Glad you decided to join tsubasa! It's nice to see another hardcore Hideaki fan here. I've made so many Hideaki threads in other forums and pretty much all of them were empty so I'm happy to hear you'll stick around! cheers

Same here, I first saw him in Yasha. Fell in love Wub

and then had to see every drama he's been in before that and after, but sadly not many come with subtitles and some are really hard to find, but eventually I wanna own or at least see all of his works.

yasha was awesome! addicting with a little hint of shounen-ai here and there. i cried the whole time i was watching it.

Lauren, thx for the welcoming... hehehe

Yasha sure held a special place in the heart of Hide's fans... Laugh

it was really well-made dorama, from story, cast, music to visuals. really breathtaking for those who love a little sci-fi dark hero taste. ..... still bring tears in my eyes when I listen to Sting's Desert Rose sometimes... pinch

I studied a bit of Jap. in school so usually I'll even try watchin non-sub works.. so I guess everyone here only watches Eng. subs?

^ I'm surprised you both cried during Yasha. I mean, it was sad but I was nowhere near crying. Maybe that's because I didn't get the ending the first time i watched it Laugh

. (No worries though, I got it once I re-watched the last episode)

Yasha was the first one I watched but it wasn't my favorite. Sure I loved it because it introduced me to him and he was in every scene as not only one but two hot characters but I'm not really into the whole sci-fi and the shounen ai/yaoi thing is a big turn off for me. As a straight girl, I want my guys to be straight and I don't know why but I seem to be the only one who thinks that way.

The Umizaru series is possibly my favorite thing he's done or at least stands out the most because I'm a real sucker for those type of stories. Sure, they're cliche and you know how it's going to end right from the beginning but there still entertaining and they're still something great about seeing them get through the hardships and have a happy ending. (even though his buddies died, so I guess not too happy in this case...)

Well, I did study a little Japanese but I mainly can just read it rather than understand it. I do watch RAWS though, mainly because I'm impatient but I would definetly prefer english subs

don't get me wrong i never treated this as a shounen ai drama but as a sci-fi drama.... I didn't find the first four episodes interesting until Rin starts showing his real nature...

Umizaru is not a bad series but I got to the point where I really wish Hideaki can play a different role in a new drama/movie. It was really long time for me~~~ for 2 yrs or so, I can only see Senzaki. pinch

I wouldn't say Yasha is my favourite drama by him... it just can't be replace by others. Mr. Green

There are always a new favourable one (except Kodoku no Kake... the story was really really really badly written and directed) comes when he starts a new drama/movie. My favourite at the moment of course goes to Kazu-ni from First Kiss... Wub

Yeah I understand what you're saying, it could get tiresome to just see the same storyline, but I really liked his character and that type of story. And you gotta admit, when he was in any of the 3 Umizaru's he was looking real good, I mean he always looks good but he was all tan and had his shirt off... or was in the shower in that series (ok getting a little fangirly here) but yeah can't help it if I find that one more visually satisfying Smile

but he was in Kono mune Ippai no Ai Wo & Kunitori Monogatari during the umizaru time period, so there's something.

For me I go in spurts of which I really wanna watch, like one week it's Blister and then Shiroi Kyoto and then it's Bengoshi No Kuzu or Love Song and so on. You know as bad as Kodoku no Kake was, I still find myself watching it and I even bought the dvds, the script and direction was bad, but there's just something about Hideaki's portrayal of his character that just makes up for all of it in a way.

First Kiss is really cute, I don't think it's the best drama this season or deserved the time slot it's in, but it's still good. Not being biased here (or at least trying) but I think Kazu & the roomates really make the show, the rest of the storyline with Mio and the doctor really don't do anything for me, but those guys keep me interested.

Sukiyaki Western: Django had a test screening recently, here's some pics from that. Credit to Shin77's blog at pixnet.

There were some more that i could put up later

I have no complaints on Umizaru's storyline, it's just that I want to see him play a wider range of characters. His hardwork made towards the series is no doubt the best thing abt it...heheee.

I don't think I would ever finish watching Kodoku w/o Hideaki in it... a bit of shame that Chigusa's character didn't get the focus of the drama... instead it got shifted and based on Momoko mainly, which wasn't what they originally promote at the start of the drama. pale

Agree the story of First Kiss isn't really exciting~ plot developing really really slo... but the threesome BAKAs are da best!!! I love watching Kazu & Mio too~ they looked just like real bro-sis~
