Just an update (and my fourth post in a row, sorry).

She has a new project due next year. Click here for more information.

MochaValencia

No DVD announcements yet, as far as I know.

MochaValencia

She has a new Lipovitan Fine! commercial. Just surf over to the official site and click the TVCM button.

MochaValencia

My area wasn't hit as hard, but I've been watching the news since this morning and Metro Manila is a sad mess...Is everyone okay?

MochaValencia

Re: Amalfi: You can't really expect to see movie torrents here on D-Addicts, but if you're willing to buy the original DVD, there's always websites like YesAsia.com.

MochaValencia

Her new drama Ikki Sawamura, Meitantei: Asami Mitsuhiko will premiere on October 21. The official site has also been updated (check out the Story section for photos), but a new banner may pop up sometime soon.

At dahil may special mention ako... Hello again! Miss me?! :LOL Hello sa lahat, pati sa mga bago. :D Re: Facebook: KJ din ako. Sorry, I've decided not to join the Facebook group. Let's just call it the "separation of the self and the D-Addicts alter-ego." You know me... :roll Now I have to...

I watch all three C.S.I. series, Lost and House, M.D. . Growing up, I enjoyed weekly doses of Early Edition (I still watch the reruns), The Nanny and Doogie Howser, M.D. ----- ETA: I forgot to mention 30 Rock and Damages . :whistling: Yep, it's House and Howser. It just hit me... and I'm just playin...

Re: Takarazuka Revue videos: You'd find quite a lot if you do a Google video search, but I don't know where to get better quality videos... Re: Amalfi : I think all we can do right now is wait for the DVD release (regardless of how you plan to watch it, actually. :whistling: As for me, I think I'll...

MochaValencia

You're welcome. And thanks for the 252 screenshots. I've been meaning to watch that.

That fifth one from Love Song is one of my favorites, too. I think it's some sort of metal ball. It looked like an unpainted giant Christmas ball, actually.

MochaValencia

Updates! Her Keishicho Sosa Ikka 9 Gakari cast interview is up. This was posted last week but I didn't check the section earlier. I wasn't expecting her "Nine Questions" this early. I thought hers would be last. There's also this interesting MSN interview . Please note that there are three...

MochaValencia

She has another mystery drama coming up. She's been cast as Sumiko Yoshida (the housekeeper) in TBS' Meitantei: Asami Mitsuhiko . It will premiere sometime in October, Wednesdays at 21:00 JST. Here's the Tokyograph article . Finally! She hasn't done a TV series outside TV Asahi in quite a while. :th...

Hello. I just thought I'd drop by and share some screencaps from Love Song (2001): http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk50/MochaV/ItoHideaki/LShideaki01.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk50/MochaV/ItoHideaki/LShideaki02.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk50/MochaV/ItoHideaki/LShideaki03...

MochaValencia

My mom loves Asian dramas in general so we sometimes watch together. And I have a few friends who are into Japanese dramas. We don't always have the same preferences, but it's always fun when there are people who actually understand JDrama-related topics, not to mention the addiciton.

MochaValencia

I can't help but agree with all the other posters. He's the complete package! He's one of my favorites.

MochaValencia

UPDATES! She has a handful of TV appearances next month. The following are from her official site, I’ve only added some links and notes: Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsudodanjo August 2 (Sunday) 21:00 JST NTV 人生が変わる1分間の深イイ話 (Another one of Shinsuke Shimada’s shows... I *still* dont know the romaji) August...

Re: Magazines: I can't find the official site but I found some new scans on Yahoo! Auctions Japan. I believe they are from My Network . The other two magazines, Zassi (I think...) and Poco`ce aren't even out yet. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk50/MochaV/Sachie%20Hara/SHMyNetcover.jpg http://i...

MochaValencia

I'm guessing that you're talking about her two scenes with Inohara Yoshihiko. I actually thought she was going to break his neck the first time.

The torrent has been pending for a few days. Don't worry, it will be approved eventually. Patience is a virtue.

MochaValencia

Re: BOSS : The drama's not that great as Issy said, but it's worth watching for the cast. They can definitely deliver despite the plotholes and stuff. I missed a few episodes but here's hoping I'll get to watch them soon. (By the way Issy, I hope you've seen Jyoou no Kyoushitsu . It's my first Amam...

MochaValencia

So, I was able to catch the premiere of Keishicho Sosa Ikka 9 Gakari . Her character kept appearing out of nowhere, and I don't think her screen time even came close to 10 minutes. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how her character will be developed. On a side note, is it just me or does File...

MochaValencia

@wang_noi: Sorry, but I have no idea where to buy Thailand releases online. Which sites have you tried? As for Mtime, I'm also getting the same message. Access was very public when I first found the site. That has changed in a few months, apparently. @mii-t: Hello! How many more of her dramas have ...

MochaValencia

Re: Keishicho Sosa Ikka 9 Gakari : The drama's official site has been updated, so there's now a banner and a correlation chart. There are also some photos in the Story section. She looks mean...kind of. :lol There's also this "interview" with her character. The spotlight's on her because ...

MochaValencia

I visit the NTV website from time to time, but I never notice that logo. Thanks! :salut: Do any of the texts point to a specific TV show? She was in an episode of Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsudodanjo which featured the triathlon, but those shots were obviously not from that show. Sorry, I can't read Ja...

MochaValencia

Re: BBS photos: I've been looking around since those screenshots were posted and I'm still clueless. At least we know that the drama is from TV Tokyo (and it looks recent). As for the other three photos, I honestly have no idea. I can't even recognize the network logo. :blink Re: Appare : Haha, the...

MochaValencia

Re: Her hair(?!): Found something! The event she attended with Shimada's group was the Ishigaki Triathlon [World Cup] 2009 held on April 26, a week before Appare (Sanma's show) was aired. Yes, I checked. Photos of the Team Gryoretsu members (don't mind me, I only made that team name up) are in the ...

MochaValencia

I'm back! These updates are pretty late. You've probably seen them on her website or on the BBS, just let me "organize" a bit: She will be on Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsudodanjo tomorrow at 21:00 JST on NTV. It’s Shinsuke Shimada again, and I have no idea what will happen. :D ----- Erratum: ...

MochaValencia

How about Out, Jyoou no Kyoushitsu and Watashitachi no Kyokasho?

Out's quite hard to find, though...

MochaValencia

Re: Sachie and beer (or: the Japanese and drinking): I swear I've seen her drinking in other dramas, but the scenes and titles escape me right now. As for Shichinin no Onna Bengoshi , I think you're referring to this scene in episode 3 of season 2: I'm posting the second one just because I thought ...

MochaValencia

It's that time of year again... Happy birthday to Sachie Hara! :cheers: She turns 31 today. I wish her a great year :-) __________________________________________________ She will be on 「あっぱれさんま新教授」 on Sunday (May 3) on Fuji TV at 13:00 JST. And the TBS (May 11) SP now has an official site . Looks l...

I've seen episodes 1 and 2 and... ...I can't help but notice that both featured fiends wearing hoods, and the main characters diving away from explosions. I hope these don't become a trend of sorts (a coincidence, perhaps?). Episode 2 was creepy, by the way. Still, I'm loving this series. A great ca...

MochaValencia

Another update! The new Sekisuiheim CM is up! You can check it out here . Re: Taiho Shichauzo featurettes: Sachie's no action hero, if you ask me. :lol As for the comparison you brought up, I noticed that, too. Sachie looked like the more serious half of the pair, while Misaki was more carefree. (Bu...

MochaValencia

UPDATE! Remember what I posted before (December 8, 2008)? Looks like she just finished filming. All the online translators I used point to either a legal or police (or both) drama. Looks like this will be another installment of an old drama called 『赤かぶ検事奮戦記』 (I have no idea what the romanized or Eng...

Re: Turkey: Tried TVAnts, TVU and KeyHole but the channel didn't pop up. The only thing I got to watch was the preview video on BS Asahi's homepage. She did ride the hot air balloon. I can imagine her exclaiming "sugoi" over and over while aboard (she does that every time she's doing some...

MochaValencia

Re: Turkey (and TV appearances in general): Well, much as we want to (or no matter how hard we try), there's always going to be a show which we'll miss every once in a while. This is especially true with Sachie's projects because she does culture and travel shows, some of which are aired in the wee...

For those interested, the trailer for Amalfi: Megami No 50-Byou is posted on the film's official site.

Amalfi stars Oda Yuji, Toda Erika, Sato Koichi, and of course, Amami Yuki. The film will hit theaters on July 18.

MochaValencia

Thanks for all the information and links everyone has posted! After watching the teaser, I think Takenouchi Yutaka's character is the most intriguing, by far. Can't wait to see him and Amami Yuki together.

I'll definitely check this drama out.

MochaValencia

Pissed off? No way! Real life got hectic, that's why. Re: Koshonin SP : I have no idea if the SP will be subbed or not. Subtitles would be nice, though. I think I could appreciate her character more if I can understand the villains' motive. But still, I can't help but feel that she's given the same ...

Re: Africa: I do have screenhsots from KeyHole so I'm posting a few. I'm also including some bits from both previews (Which did you see exactly? You did say "preview," not previews," right?). I believe you'd like some close-ups. :roll Africa: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk50/M...

Hello... I'm writing my thesis on the role of men at home, and am doing a cross-cultural media analysis kinda thing.

Re: Africa documentary: She was the correspondent only in the Ghana feature, which made up a good chunk of the first hour of the show. The second hour was devoted to another child's story. I seriously thought she would bawl her way out of Africa (I had Ururun in mind while watching); she did cry fo...

Please excuse me for double posting, but I found more details on the Fuji TV documentary (March 7, 21:00 JST. I'm not sure, but the English title could be something like If the World were a Village of 100 People or A Global Village of 100 People ): Sachie is sent to Accra, the capital of Ghana, Afri...

MochaValencia

She has a movie coming up! Love Letters at Sixty will hit theaters in May. The film stars Keiko Toda (Giragira guest star), Masatoshi Nakamura, Chie Ayado, and Mieko Harada (who was also with Sachie in Hinokio and Semishigure).

Looks like a minor role, but a film is a film, right?

MochaValencia

Have you tried Adobe Premiere Pro? There's also Sony Vegas, which I think is pretty good, too.

By the way, this Wikipedia article might help you out.

ETA: Oops... Found a similar thread.

MochaValencia

She's going to be in a new drama called BOSS this spring. Looks like another comedy!

And wow! Yuki Amami and Yutaka Takenouchi in one drama? I think I'm going to faint!

MochaValencia

I saw it too! The SP looks like it's going to have a faster pace than the series. You're right, things will be a lot easier if someone here can read Japanese (and post in English. :lol). But all this speculating is fun, too. Sachie's character seems to be as confused as I am. I took some KeyHole scr...

@Colyn: Haha. The weird thing about me is that I seem to be atrracted to guys over 30. :P I like a few 20-something guys, and maybe two "boys" younger than me (Hayato Ichihara and Hongo Kanata). I guess what I meant was that, collectively, the actors I support are older compared to most o...

Re: Sadako?: If my memory serves me right, she was reacting to one funny comment directed to her. It really did look like a Sadako pose, though. Haha. It was really funny, and she was a very good sport. Re: Koshonin SP : You're one demanding extra, aren't you? :roll Disappointed? Hmm... I love seei...

Found Mtime's Amami Yuki photo gallery. The collection's not that big, but I think the photos, which include production shots from her Takarazuka Revue days, are pretty rare.

Here's hoping for a new drama or movie sometime soon.

If viewers find her character as despicable and hateful as the writer(s), director(s) and she meant it to be, then that would only mean she's effective as an actress. Besides, it should always be "hate the character, not the actor/actress." There are a lot of artists the world over who hav...

MochaValencia

Now, now. She needs a kick-ass role to win those awards... What a shame You know, it would really be interesting to see her as a villain--a really evil one. By "evil" I mean not the shady, misguided, manipulative type; I want to see her play a sinister, rotten to the core, maybe even crim...

KeyHole TV has a new version. The official site's been down for quite a while now, but I found the download link on this site.

Just pronounce the "i" and the "e" as separate vowels, so it would sound like "Sa-chee-yeh." That's not really a silly question. I also thought it was "Satchi" until I heard the SMAP people say her name. :roll Oh, I just checked, Ran Suzuki pronounces it as &q...

I agree, her performance as Maya in Jyoou no Kyoushitsu was unforgettable.

Leading someone on, making him think that you care when you don't is not a good thing... but if you weigh that against the other option, breaking up with that same person through phone is just as bad.

MochaValencia

I guess I missed the poll.

I've seen her in Sommelier, Isshou Wasurenai Monogatari, Ai wo Kudasai and Tomorrow. I think she's really good in all of them. And she's got range; she can cry her eyes out in one scene then be a total mischief in another.
