That LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG article explains the entire process of selecting the cast for Sakura, along with some really interesting information about Japanese Americans, how the Japanese view them, and such. Yes, the U.S. embassies are one of those great sources. Also, as you'll see in that article, NHK makes contact with the JET program whenever they need people already living in Japan that can speak English. One very recent experience of gaijinism is Kaze no Haruka, where Sarumaru-san introduces Haruka to an American businessman stationed in London. Not only is the acting corny on the part of the gaijin, but the the dialog itself is somewhat strange. Very hard for me to describe. Maybe I'll MP3 the clip.

European/American guy grew up playing RPGs, which automaticly made him watch anime in his teens and ultimately study the Japanese language. In his early twenties he discovers dorama, and deciedes to go to Japan and actually live the life of Densha Otoko, Momo and so forth. However...
Once he gets there nothing is as he expected. He spend most of his vacation getting rejected by girls - obviously it starts out as a comedy. The country and culture he loved so much and has devoted his life too rejects him. He has nothing to live for. His only chance to get contact with girls is to grope them in trains, and later rape them like a "real otaku" (Tsutomu Miyazaki).
He gets caught, jailed and he kills himself in pirosn.
The end.
What do you think? |
Came up with a better ending! A Twist!
Before heading home he wants to take advantage of a girl, and calls a schoolgirl for a bit of compensated dating. They end up in a love hotel, and right before he rape and kill her, none other than his hero Great Teacher Onizuka shows up, and accidentally kills him while protecting his beloved student.
How cool is that?
Best ever cameo.

| I don't know, I doubt the wimpy one would be able to stand up to him. He'd probably see him and say "OMG a westerner! HE'S GOING TO EAT OUR CHILDREN!" and run or something.

The movie/dorama would most deffinately need a nude-scene with Ito Misaki. Better yet, Ito and Yukie Nakama making love. That would be best ever scene in any movire ever.

Honestly I think there are many good western male drama actors in the USA. You just see the Japanese actors as better because you don't understand the language, and because their style is different for you.
If you talk to real japanese people in Japan they'll tell you that most of the idols people love here are not such great actors as you think, but are exactly like some of the american actors/idols (chad michael murray, Keano, welling, the list goes on).
