Hello sword_of_heaven I wonder also why this thread is short. Anyway it was nice to read your insights regarding Kimura-sama. I am currently watching his new drama "Change" so far there are 3 episodes with english subs uploaded here in d-addicts.

Sword of heaven.

I have been an admirer of Kimura san for about ten years now and personally I have come to the opinion that there is NO-ONE who looks like him at any time in his life. He is unique Cool

It is said that when you can recognise the voice of each SMAP member when they sing without seeing them...then you are a true SMAP fan...

I also think that Kimura san is much underrated as an actor. Cannot understand why. He is so versatile and carries every drama he is in. As for his style in any samurai role he is the perfect Japanese man. I especially liked the last one 'Bushi no Ichibun.' However. you should try to find the drama when he played the young Oda Nobunaga. Wonderful rendition of changes from wild youth to super correct head of his family. It may be out of retail sale by now but maybe somewhere to d/l online.

I don't know why this is such a short thread but maybe because we Kimura san admirers know a jewel and keep it secret..... Smile

Hi Peggy,

I have to agree with you that he's very seriously underrated.

To be honest though, I have not heard SMAP songs or seen their videos or anything. I just happened to hear about Beautiful Life. The irony was that I actually wanted to watch something happy/cheerful coz I was feeling down and seeing this made me more depressed. However, his acting was so natural, it didn't feel like a drama or a story. It felt like I watching something real.

I don't want to offend anyone here, but you know, one factor is that this thread doesn't have fans who are just like "oh he's good looking" and "oh i think he looks cute" because he's well happily married and all. And that's why the thread is probably small, in which case its a good thing. I've seen some jpop artists' thread which is like 200 pages or whatever in different forums and a lot of it is just one liner stuff saying how good he/she looks or whatever, and not really bothered about his/her talent.

So maybe its something to his credit that he's got 10 pages of people who solidly admire his talent - (though of course, he *does* look great:D)

I just finished Pride yesterday and I am now afraid of seeing Good Luck. That's coz once I finish Good Luck, I'll have to wait *forever* (with my slow net) to get his other dramas. And I am in a 'Be a Kimura fan and watch all his dramas' mood too Sad

I agree with everyone
Kimura Takuya's acting is just soooo unbelievably great
personally I think he is the most Charismatic Japanese actor i've ever seen (also comparing him with the other Johnny's Guys)
the funny thing about me is that the first Drama 4 him that I ever watched was Karei naru Ichizoku which is one of his latest....But I was simply bewildered by his acting, I just never thaught someone could play a role -especially such a difficult one- so perfectly. I cried like mad and even screamed while watching the last episode.
So after watching it I simply decided 2 hunt all his other dramas, and was so glad 2 find most were on D-addicts!
Just one thing is Upsetting me, Why isn't anyone releasing the HERO Movie yet?? it's already on Crunchyroll but I want 2 download the DVD version......so pleaaaaase anyone in the fansubbing business plz take this project, coz I can't wait 2 watch it.

snow_of_dawn: my most favourite drama is Long Vacation. It's a feel good drama and the OST is divine! I have a weakness for beautiful music.

Btw, are there any interviews of his anywhere? With translations? I'm not sure where to look and my net is really slow so I don't get a chance to google it much.

I finally found a Kimura Takuya thread, so happy, he is definitely my favourite actor of all time, he is so talented and so good and so versatile! Every role he acts in is so different and yet he does such an amazing job, not to mention his smotheringly sexy good looks!

My fst drama of him was Pride and here's the list of dramas I've seen of him:
- Asunaro Hakusho (he looks REALLY YOUNG here)
- Beautiful Life (1 of my faves)
- Chuushinguura 1/47 movie (quite serious but the last part was actually funny before he committed seppuku)
- Engine (Ma ne.. it was alright, quite funny at times)
- Gift (Boring!! Zannen desu ne)
- Good Luck! (Not bad, Sou Kibushiku? was the co-star, she's in Orange Days and Million Stars)
- Hero, Hero SP, Hero Movie (All great!)
- Karei Naru Ichizoku (REALLY GOOD!)
- Kyousoukyoku (I've only seen a bit, its RAW, does anyone know where I can get eng subs?? My Jap is not that good, so its really hard work listening and only understanding 60% of what they're saying)
- Long Vacation (Soo sexy and shy here)
- Love Generation (LOVE IT!)
- Pride (Another of my fave Kimura dramas)
- Sora Kara furu ichioku no hoshi (A million stars fall from the sky - Another fave of mine, its really good!)
- Nemureru Mori (A sleeping forest - really gd too!)

I'm looking for his other stuff like Oda NObunaga and BUshi no Ichibun, and Kyousoukyoku eng subs too, but still can't find them! Oh well, will keep on hunting!

So any latest news with Kimura san? I think someone here said he's not talked abt as much because he is happily married with kids, and tend to agree. Though it makes me even more impressed, handsome and talented and faithful too! Plus a father!

Oh no intention of offending Kimura fans by saying he looks like Yamapi btw. Its just that more than one person made that mistake.

Anyway, I'm looking for Chuushinguura 1/47 the movie and Gift myself, though I heard Gift isn't that good? If anyone finds the link, please do post it. Oh I'm getting Engine and Hero movie now. Just started watching Long Vacation too.
