Also, was that a blatant product placement for the Nintendo DS "Eye Training" game or what?
Kawashima Ai's My Love.

It's Ainori's theme song. :wub:

I think so, the way it looks. :lol Can't wait for ep 5. I think in their official website, even though I can't understand Japanese, it says (I wouldn't want people to read this if you don't want to get spoiled...)
(I'm only guessing)... Nanba, Senri, Kayashima, and Nakatsu kidnaps Ashiya.... to go to the beach.

Just curious...has anyone finish reading the manga? What will happens to Nakatsu at the end of the manga? Did he ends up with anyone? In the TW version, he likes Julia. However, since I don't have access to the whole manga, I was just curious about what will happen to Nakatsu at the end. I hope he has a good ending since he such an adorable character.

Me too !! They are like skeletons. None of them got some muscle or meat. :goggle:
....interesting.

As a Japanese girl, I prefer these guys over any muscular guys...

I just don't like muscle. ^-^;



If only their faces (hair & eye, specifically) looked better....
right now, the only guy that's decent to me is Toma.
What about Shun?? :unsure:

I prefer thin guys over muscle too... I believe most Japanese actors are good looking compare to Japanese who aren't... that's my opinion. So yes, Oguri is one of those decent Japanese guys out there. :lol However, it seems like if you really like Ikuta than you won't like Oguri... I've been seeing that around lately. :unsure:

^ That's understandable, most of time, comic character always gets more attention from the viewers becuz they make them laugh.. :lol

But I believe, there're also people who prefer more serious role, in Hana Kimi case, it's Shun's Sano :) Personally I like Sano more than anyone cuz I can feel that in the future he'll do many things for Mizuki , my fav heroine :wub:

And one thing is sure, outside of Hana Kimi, Shun's popularity is enorm ...
After Hana Kimi Toma may get popular as a Johnny, sure he will be promoted & such. But he can't compare to Shun who has much more experience in acting than him ^__^ Attention what I talk about here is in acting not singing nor dancing !
So I dun't mind that Toma's Nakatsu gets little more attention than Sano, akak, cuz I know that Sano is the one Mizuki loves & that's all what counts for me :P :whistling: muahahah

Eep, don't get me wrong. I watch a lot of Korean dramas and ever since I saw Oh Ji Ho's abs in the first episode of "Fantasy Couple", I haven't been the same since. -___-;;;

However I do agree that there is some eye candy here. Mizushima has a cute face, he caught my eye ever since I saw him in the Hana Kimi commercial (with Avril Lavigne's song). Yaahhh, he really knows how to put on an innocent face. And he knows English fluently!! A+++++ for that one. I hate him....I hate him for making me like him. Hahaha.

Oguri's a good actor (I like both Ikuta and Oguri). In most roles I've seen him play, he's usually the suave quiet handsome guy but I liked his acting the most during "Stand Up!!" because it was just so different...and he was so hilarious in that drama. I wouldn't have picked anyone else to play Sano Izumi.

Yeah, I've finished the manga, and he;
becomes a popular professional soccer player.
I'll send you a link so you can read the manga.

Aaah... the Toma popularity question. For me personally, it's quite a sensitive issue because it feels like he's been suppressed in Johnny's Jimusho. It seems almost a miracle that he was presented this opportunity to be Nakatsu. For instance, compare Toma and his best friend Yamapi. Toma joined before him, but look at the disparity...!

But yes, I could go on for ages about that. I LOVE Shun and I think he's got quite an impressive resume, but I'm more hoping that this role for Toma as Nakatsu is his breakthrough and lets him rise to a similar level of popularity as Yamapi. Nakatsu does make me laugh, but to me it's not just that, like I'm sure Sano is to you-- more than just a serious character.

And Mizuki's not my favorite manga heroine, so that may be why I'm okay with her being with Sano. And hey I like Sano too so... (I'm rambling).

Ah and by the way, I like how Hiro looks! I even like his hairstyle in the show. Plus he's my age, so bonuses all the way :lol

I feel like toma's going to get really popular after this and oguri's popularity is going to drop...
horikita's doing a good job too.

just a feeling.... v_v


Oguri have a knack for getting on my "ewww" list..
in Hanadan, he was in the way of Tsukustsuka
in the Detective Conan oneshot, he and the girl was just too mismatching
and in here... he seems like such a cold character.

when has he ever played a GOOD character/GOOD guy?

Gah. I hope they're even!
But I really hope this might help Toma to debut.
It makes me sad that he's still a mere jr.

Anyway. Yeah. I'm guessing the next episode, they kidnap her to go to the beach. Lol. These guys never seem to have actual school, huh.

Lucky :lol.

Nakatsu doesn't get with anybody since he is concentrating on his professional soccer career. That is why I hated the TW version because Nakatsu NEVER EVER got together with Julia. I mean what the heck were they thinking making that part up. That development didn't make any sense at all because the 2 didn't even have a chance to really get to know each other.

I agree about Toma getting popular after this but not about Shun. I think Shuns character still has so much room to develop and I believe Shun will do it perfectly and become an even more popular person!

*Nakatsu manga/TW version spoiler*
Haha I actually thought the Julia/Nakatsu pairing was cute! Maybe because I like dynamic relationships... But I guess it's good that in the manga he didn't end up with anyone.
And I think Shun's popularity will not be affected. I'm so happy that he's finally gotten a meaty starring role in a drama, because it seemed like before he was just supporting characters. And what a great role to be starring as! Hopefully this will boost his popularity as well.

YES TOMA, DEBUT!!!!! I will be so ecstatic if he did. Aahh cherish the thought. 8)

Thank you garnet07 for answering my question. I agree with you about the TW version. I thought the change in Nakatsu's love is so out of the blue. I mean he has a crush on Mizuki for so long that the sudden change in his affection just does not make sense to me. I didn't like this part in the TW version either. Also, how did he even get Julia email or phone number in order to get in touch with her. I thought they hated each other.

I love the Japan version of HanaKimi. Toma's Nakatsu is so adorable and such a fun 'boy' friend to have. Shun's Sano is so cool and Maki's Mizuki is the cutest girl/boy on screen so far. This is definitely Ikemen Paradise for me.

I disagree with you.
What u see now is his dramas, but u forget that he doesn't only do that, he plays in various movies & also plays. If u ever went to his plays, u'll see how talent & versatile that actor is. He can play all sort of role magnificiently. His acting is indiscutable. You may say that his roles are quite repetitive in drama or his chemistry with his co star is not great (Detective conan), but hey it's not his fault ! His coming movie "Crows Zero", he'll play a "bad guy" & I can't wait to see that ^__^

I'm not a huge fan of Oguri but I've known him for a long time already, even before YamaP & NewS. Now I tend to watch any movie/drama he's in & if possible one day when I go to Japan, go to see one of his plays , as my friends there recommend me XD
Hana Kimi is the 1st drama uin which Shun shares the lead role. I believe Sano wins fan's hearts as much as Nakatsu's character, no matter what fans online said.. maybe it's becuz Sano in the drama & the manga are little different from each other so that's why fans dun't feel close yet. Oh well, it's just a matter of time.. :)

i don't like nakatsu just because he's the comic relief. i feel like he's more than that. i like the trio though so it's not "nakatsu or die!" for me.

i mean yes he's funny but he's also so adorably in love with mizuki. and he's also a key part in the friendship between the three. he speaks up for mizuki when she can't and defends her like in ep 4. he also cares a lot for sano and understands him because they were friends before that. also, everybody pretty much knows that he won't be with mizuki in the end yet he still supports her (from the manga) so i guess people can relate to that. and because of that he's an underdog and i just can't help but root for underdogs.

i think sano and nakatsu are both important to mizuki.

oh and about the skinny japanese boys topic. SOMEBODY GIVE POOR TOMA A SHIRT! i feel like he's so exploited each week. i notice that when the boys are younger and still in their early 20s their bodies are thin but as they get older they start to fill out. i mean look at shun around gokusen/stand up days. he was rail thin.

I get ur point, but if only every fan could think the same. Nakatsu character may be funny and Sano character may not be that loveable, but definitely Nakatsu can't surpass Sano lol in any term.. So stop with their bashing about Sano when they dun't see or learn anything about the character yet !!
sorry ladyusagi, I just talk to those fans out there.... ^^; they piss me off, even how much I like Nakatsu, their comments about Sano, my fav character just make me become to dislike Nakatsu :glare:

I love Shun in this series. Sano Izumi was an introvert--he doesn't talk much nor draw much attention to himself. I've been more than impressed with his potrayals of the kinds of characters who need that little bit of subtlety to be believable. You could see that Shun's very confident and skilled at this sort of thing when you see the little gestures and facial expressions he does in the drama. It's as simple as the way he slides his eyes when he shows he's not interested in Juri at the group date event, but it's incredibly natural in execution.

Toma has his own brilliance in his portrayal of Nakatsu, and I wish people wouldn't compare the two so they can take sides on who they like best and then bash the other. :<

i think they're just basing it on what they've seen of sano so far. i don't think most people have previous knowledge of how sano's character will turn out later on.

but i agree, bashing of the characters should stop. it just ruins the experience of watching the drama. i mean critics are fine, this IS a discussion board but we have to be careful to not go overboard and start bashing the characters.

i agree completely. i mean the characters are supposed to be best friends and the actors seem to be getting along great off camera also so it's a pity if the fans of the two individuals start fighting wiht each other. it sorta reminds me of kinki kids fans..

And when I'm frustrated with a character, it unconsciously turns into ugly emotions.

But I suppose he gives variety to this drama...(◡。◡)

I'm a little anxious with the small amount of lines that Sano has but I should have expected it too. I'd forgotten how little he actually spoke in the manga and realized that lots of what I know about how Sano's opinions about the world around him was the internalized thoughts he had, or the small things he mumbles to himself that wasn't at all something that anyone else should hear about.

On the upside, the one truth about Sano Izumi in the manga is that he is a man of action. He is physically active in whatever decision he has, and all of those who have been looking for canonical romantic gestures from Sano to Mizuki should know that the deciding factor in those decisions almost always for Mizuki's sake or had some her influence. From what I've seen, this happens for both the manga and the drama. =3 So I'm hoping that this trend continues throughout the drama, and that even if Sano won't be able to talk as much his actions towards our heroine will speak much louder than words.

i mean yes he's funny but he's also so adorably in love with mizuki. and he's also a key part in the friendship between the three. he speaks up for mizuki when she can't and defends her like in ep 4. he also cares a lot for sano and understands him because they were friends before that. also, everybody pretty much knows that he won't be with mizuki in the end yet he still supports her (from the manga) so i guess people can relate to that. and because of that he's an underdog and i just can't help but root for underdogs.

i think sano and nakatsu are both important to mizuki.

oh and about the skinny japanese boys topic. SOMEBODY GIVE POOR TOMA A SHIRT! i feel like he's so exploited each week. i notice that when the boys are younger and still in their early 20s their bodies are thin but as they get older they start to fill out. i mean look at shun around gokusen/stand up days. he was rail thin.
I know this is a delayed reply... but I agree with you COMPLETELY on the Nakatsu thing. I hate how some people make it Sano vs. Nakatsu because it shouldn't be that way.

Shun was talking about how his portrayal of Sano is slightly different from the manga, where he will be there more for Mizuki and will take an active role in her development as opposed to the other way around. So yes, I definitely am looking forward to that!!

Poor shirtless!Toma indeed. But I can't say I'm complaining. :B

I'm not fussed with the wiry bods of these here Japanese actors. In some ways I like it better. It really isn't fair to make the boys bulk up wtih muscle if they're naturally thin. The guy who plays Tennouji I can understand since he looks like he really did have martial arts training; I'm pretty sure he already has that kind of physique. (Though I may sound a tad hypocritical when I was yelling, "MOAR DORM 1 SHIRTLESS SCENES!" at my computer screen xD) The others, well, it's either they want to look buff or not. I don't mind in the least. =D

Haha. Anything for Sano x Mizuki for you Nomanymore. :lol

@Crabbyrat: I totally agree with you. I hate it when people goes and compare or goes with Sano vs. Nakatsu. I really like the developement of the plot. I always like stories/plot whenever it's the guy who changes the girl instead of the other way around... more romantic, I guess? :wub:

yes i really hate when people want to compare both character n actors coz on n off screen both is really good friend....i luv both Nakatsu n Sano n they are both have totally different personality n very interesting in their own way...that's why people should stop bashing Sano.....give him time to develop n take more action n affection towards Mizuki...in ep4 he already show so much improvement....i will always love both Sano and Nakatsu n also other characters too

Oh and on the "changing" note... I think it will end up more equal. Because I think in the manga it was all Mizuki trying to open up Sano, but to what I understand, Sano will help her out as well in the drama. So I think it's a mutual contribution to this relationship, which I think is even more wonderful. And I JUST noticed the link to that video,so I'm jumping on it! Woohoo!!

Was it just me but.
The official Hana Kimi website posted some owning videos.
Especially of that one modeling one, where each one comes out!

Ikemen, ne :D.
I thought Shirota Yuu was a studddd. And Kayashima! At first, I thought he was just going to act like his normal self - like in the drama - but he smiled! Nldihgidshg.
And the other video.
With Kayashima's shirt off. Omgg. I'm loving him more and more :lol.


I've just noticed something. Say you're on the Hana Kimi official website, for like longer than 30 seconds. Does anyone notice that a tiny flower sprouts out of the background - which you could click - and get this secret profile-like pop-up of one of the actors.

OR IS MY COMPUTER BEING GHEY AGAIN!?

I was very surprised :D.

It wasn't a flower that sprouted out for me, it was the "male" symbol, hahaha... and it led me to Kayashima's profile! And it had a drop box for me to look at everyone else's too. Haha what makes me think that this next episode will be MORE fanservice? Oh man.

anyone who knows anything about video editting, is there only one audio track for the episodes? or several?

if several, anyone think they could rip that tune they always play (not the intro/end song).

Mizushima <--- wait...who is that again? You guys were talking about him but i still don't recognize the name. sorry. And...if i were to chose who i liked better i would chose Nakatsu. In real life...but right now...I LOVE SANO! Like...Sano would seem like a real jackass in real life and i would most likely get along with Nakatsu more. which for most people is the same. But since we already read the drama and saw the Taiwanese version, we're blinded by the fact that he'll soon turn good and be more attractive attitude wise and all that. I understand both point of view. lol I love them both and think it's a little unfair for us to choose but if we had to...yeah. :D

I really liked the 3 episodes, it is kinda different from manga, but i couldn't stop laughing .

And i know that Sano is going to take more actions, Shun plays his role very good and we should not crticize the role.

i've only been reading this thread now (after a some time)...

i agree with you...i've been kind of avoiding this thread because it makes me sad when i read people bashing sano/shun...cause shun is my favorite actor and i know he is a great actor and this is his very first BIG drama role...and him as an actor being bashed because of this drama, well it kinda sucks!

i'm really glad that people are defending him cause i'm getting tired of the sano and nakatsu comparison...i like them both in this drama, but yeah just like someone said it makes me dislike nakatsu/toma too because of all the bashing sano/shun has been receiving...and i'm really enjoying this drama so it kinda ruins the fun when people say a lot of bad things...

i think we should respect each other and not bash the actors/characters because each person in this thread has a favorite, i mean would you like it if someone bashed toma/nakatstu, nanba/mizushima, kayashima/yamamoto, himejima/kyou, etc? well i like all these actors/characters, so wouldn't want that.. :D
