Inoue Mao
She was a popular U-15 idol from 1999; she was well known for her role as Imai Akane in the drama Kids War. Before that, she had had parts in several other dramas from the age of five, but it wasn't until the debut of Kids War in 1999 that Japanese audiences took notice of Inoue. In 2005, she was cast as the star of Hana Yori Dango on TBS. Inoue played Makino Tsukushi in the live-action adaptation of the manga and anime, a lower middle-class girl who is trying to survive unnoticed in an elite high school full of playboys and rich snobs. A sequel to the 2005 drama, Hana Yori Dango 2, was aired in the winter 2007 season.
At 19, Inoue was enrolled in Meiji University, studying theater and literature, with her second major being Mandarin. In 2006 she co-starred in the movie Check It Out, Yo! with Ichihara Hayato, Hiraoka Yuta, and Emoto Tasuku. The film was in theaters April 22nd, 2006. Inoue also co-starred in the summer 2007 drama First Kiss with "Check It Out, Yo!" co-star Hiraoka.
After the success of the two Hana Yori Dango dramas, a film was announced in August 2007, just months after the end of the 2007 sequel. It will be Inoue's first starring role in a movie, which is to be called Hana Yori Dango Final. Filming is to start January 2008.

Woah what happened here? ~ Anyways Ats whats your link about? Hana Yori Dango NG ...Thought the movie was being filmed?
yeah it is about to be filmed but this aired on the 4th. I guess it was the TBS Happening Awards for 2007 since HYD was in it Anyways, it's mostly stuff we've all seen before with a little bit more.

Even though I watched that Happening NG Awards show last year, it was still good to re-watch it Mao-chan's Bloopers!
I recall a subbed version of that by Nyan-chan and Tenjo-chan ... and it seemed longer, b/c it also included Shota's NG which won 1st place, out by the clock tower at Eibutsu Park...
Mao's cutest one was the trip when she was going with the bat...

katdiva do you know what Shota said in exactly in the Ebisu Park NG scene? They all thought it was hilarious and I really wanted to know why
Anyways, yeah I'll watch Mao NG's anyday cause they are so darn funny Mao in TFP 2 was especially hilarious too!
I was confused at why they considered Tokyo Friends Park 2 to be NG? Was it because she kept saying "Gambarre" non-stop and had to be pulled away by Jun-kun?
Eto... If I recall correctly Shota accidentally swore during that fight scene when Jun-kun takes a swing at him, after he yelled at him for not caring enough for Makino.
He made them all fall down, rolling with laughter...
Does anyone know how to register at the mao.inoue.com site?
