I think you can get Howl's Moving Castle with the actors voices. I am not sure about the language. I have two or three copies of this anime but can't put my hand on them right now. Had to put all my DVD's in cartons when the painter worked and now everything is messed up. don't know where to start.
I loved 2046. It was really the music that got me. It is all so lovely and fits the scenes so well. The character that Wong Kar Wai gave to Kimura was very strange but I like it when he was the Japanese business man trying to talk to the landlord's daughter. Later when he was trying to go back he looked so wild and the scene with Christine (?) was very hot and heavy.
I have to find it and watch again.

Sorry for double posting
Took it from the MatsuJun thread, but i guess it's more important to have it here
Credits to mrsmilevskyi2001 for posting this!
SMAP member Kimura Takuya (34) has been chosen as Japan's most popular guy for an amazing 14th straight year. The annual survey has been carried out by women's magazine "anan" since 1988, and Kimutaku has been on top since 1994, the year he came of age. He also has a 13-year streak going in another annual poll as the man most women "would like to sleep with". He has managed to build a successful acting career in parallel with SMAP's ongoing popularity. He has starred in just about all the most popular TV dramas of the last decade, and the movie adaptation of one, Fuji TV's "Hero", is set to open in theaters this weekend. He has also shown his talent in more 'serious' roles, such as the lead in Yamada Yoji's 2006 samurai drama "Bushi no Ichibun". Kimutaku is of course just the brightest in the Johnny's Jimusho galaxy of male stars, and they make up 18 of the survey's Top 30 most popular males.

Just wanted to share what news I found while surfing imdb.
Kimura's new project sounds really interesting, he seems to know how to pick his movies...
A thriller by Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and a cast consisting of Josh Hartnett, Lee Byung-hun and Kimura? Hell, yeah, sounds like a must-see!
I Come with the Rain (2008)
I'm wondering how improved his english will be...

dear god from my opinion acting with harnett is a step down for him
but i will for myself to watch it for his sake though
Its good that his broadening his horizons too
I bet harnett will get a shock when he finds out the kind of idol he will be working with

this is great news!
I didn't know he was going to be in a new movie and with Harnett (although I don't like him much). But that's a great opportunity for Kimura
I remember when I was checking his web, that I found out he was doing a movie or he was in a movie like a samurai I guess.
EDIT:
I found this on Wikipedia:
"Kimura's latest movie is Bushi no Ichibun, released in December 2006. Directed by Yoji Yamada he played a young blind samurai during the Edo period. He earned a Japan Academy Prize nomination for Best Actor. However, he declined it because his agency, Johnny & Associates, was reluctant to have him compete with the other nominees, who are experienced film actors. This has been said to be the first case of decline for such reason. The film is the final in the trilogy, which includes The Twilight Samurai(2002) and The Hidden Blade(2004)."
Anyone knows about this?

obviously josh hartnett is not the best american actor but he's not that bad either..
i mean after 7mins scene in 2046 this is a pretty good opportunity for Kimura to be recognized worldwide. and i hope that after having watched the movie i can say "as expected of japanese #1 idol".
im looking forward a lot to his new projects since i've done watching all his dramas !

Wow! Believe it or not, I picked up a japanese movie dvd just for the heck of it and as it turned out, it was a Kimura movie. My parents saw it and they really liked it but they had no idea what the title was... so the mystery has been solved -- it IS "Bushi no Ichibun", where Kimutaku played a blind samurai. Thanks for the info.

I'm so happy I was able to help! even if didn't know
I want to see this movie!!! but I want to see the first two first
But I don't find them anywhere
@Yorokobi:
I know exactly what you mean, I was angry when I found out about this long ago, but since the harm was already done and since Johnny have already done something like this to Kimura, well, it was no surprise
Still it's unfair!

| Happy birthday to Kimutaku and ME! I can't believe I have the same birthday as him except he's 13 year's older than me. But it's the BIG 18 today! YAY!
