Oh, and I also want to reccomend "A cheerful gang turns the earth", which Shota stars in. The movie itself is a bit weird, but it is really funny too! ^__^

Oh you're welcome!!

You can fin more screen cap made by other fan at this link. http://community.livejournal.com/matsud ... tml#cutid1

Anyway, the drama is about a young girl who lost all his hopes in human being when rich and influent people betray her. Her mother died she want to take revenge but need power and money for that. Then her unique aim is to become the queen of hostesses in Club Elegance where she worked since she left her town. Matsuda shota is a yakuza she met, who likes her and will protect her in the future.

I saw the 1st episode and I can say that Matsuda Shota is a very good actor. Another caracter and he plays it very well!!

I watched this episode too man it was cool.
However I got the feeling the whole way through that it was moving really really fast.
Do not read this spoiler if you dont want to know what happens in the first episode!
So much happens in the first episode, she gets bullied, almost raped twiceish, her mum dies, she becomes a hostess (well sortof), mets a guy, falls for him, finds out hes not who he says he is, kisses him, makes him change his mind and a whole lots more! It might just be me but I felt it was almost too much for one episode.

^ This is some interesting role, I wanna watch Shota in. At least, he's trying to play a lot of different characters. Shows that he's a brilliant actor.
On the other hand we have Oguri Shun - I really like him, but he isn't very versatile^^°
Can't wait to see Waruboro :)

Shota-chan just keeps getting hotter and hotter in every role he takes on~!

but he's definitely hottest as "Date Naoto" especially with his hair slicked back.

Matsuda Shota in " Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!"

Post by iLUVdram@ » Sep 20th, '07, 17:45

Great news!!! Shota in a new play station 3 game for spring 2008 called Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!

Image

Image

Image

The website http://ryu-ga-gotoku.com/


An article about the game, thank you google! :whistling:
The most "pre" prequel ever is coming to the PS3.
by Anoop Gantayat (IGN)


September 17, 2007 - If you'd told us that Sega would be continuing its Yakuza series with a third game on the PlayStation 3, we wouldn't have been too surprised. While the game was a big flop internationally, in Japan, the first two have combined for over a million sales on the PS2.

Now if you'd told us that the third game would actually be a prequel set 400 years in the past, we'd have looked around for a giant cone (or bench, or car) with which to smash you over the head (in case you haven't played Yakuza before, and few of you did, this is a typical scene in the game's battle system).

Officially titled Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! in Japan, this PlayStation 3 adventure takes Sega's adult-oriented franchise back to 1605. Gone are the neon signs of Tokyo and Osaka, now replaced by the neon signs of an Edo Period Kyoto.

The game begins in the enclosed town of Gion, where girls use their bodies for money, and men use their money to buy dreams (that description is translated directly from a Famitsu article on the game... please don't write). Unlike the first two games, which were set in fictional towns designed to look like real places, Gion is a real historical part of Kyoto that was known for its geisha girls.

The story begins when main character Kazumanosuke Kiryu, a bodyguard who will take on any job if the price is right, is approached by a young girl named Haruka. She asks Kiryu to kill Musashi Miyamoto. Musashi Miyamoto is actually Kiryu's past self, and the name he goes by when outside of Gion. This, incidentally, is the same historical Musashi Miyamoto who's regarded as one of the finest swordsmen.

If you're familiar with the Yakuza series, you'll recognize the Kiryu and Haruka names. The two characters may share the same name as the hero and heroine of the first two titles, and they may even share the same basic model design, but they seem to have no actual relation. Presumably, these are the names we'll see in future Yakuza titles as well.

As we've come to expect from the series, Sega has hooked up some serious talent to do the voices for Yakuza 3. The voices for Haruki and Kiryu haven't been revealed, but here's a sampling of the talent for a few of the other characters.

Kojiro Sasaki (voiced by Shouta Matsuda)
Nagayoshi Marume (Naoto Takenaka)
Itou, the bodyguard (Susumu Terajima)
The mysterious monk (Hiroki Matsukata)
Seijyurou Yoshioka (Masaya Kato)
Toji Gion (Takeshi Tsukamoto)

In Japan, these are some of the biggest personalities in television and movies. They'll be put to use this time for more than just their voices, as Sega is using face scan technology to make their in-game counterparts share some visual similarities.

Outside of an adult-oriented storyline, Yakuza 3 appears to bring back much of what made the original two games so special. In addition to exploring a living town, now with more detail than ever thanks to the update in hardware, you'll get to make use of an updated combat system. You can now select between four fighting styles: fists (the standard style from past titles), single blade, dual blade and broad sword. "Heat Action" special moves return, complete with dramatic camera angels.

One of the coolest parts of the first Yakuza games was how your character grew as you progressed through the game. Previously, you learned new fighting moves by consulting with a master. That remains in Yakuza 3, but now you can also learn moves just by witnessing key events. Kiryu will even learn special attacks by watching animals move -- for instance, a dog leaping up to fetch a bone.

Mini games and side quests also have their expected place in Yakuza 3. The game will feature over 100 sub quests, some possibly featuring historical figures. Mini games include shogi, dice and archery -- things you might expect from the Edo Period. Hostess clubs are back, giving you a chance to woo the ladies, although these scenes now take place in a seedy tatami room rather than a seedy bar.

Sega's NE Soft R&D Creative Officer Toshihiro Nagoshi, head producer of the Yakuza series, pointed out to Famitsu in a recent interview that the game doesn't have "3" in the title. That doesn't mean it's an offshoot. In fact, he says the game is being made to surpass Yakuza 2 in all areas, and that we'll slowly learn of the great scale as new information is unveiled.

The information should be forthcoming for this one. Although just announced, Yakuza 3 is already set for Japanese release this Spring, and will have a prominent presence in Sega's booth at the Tokyo Game Show.
Here the casting without the two main characters.

Matsuda Sota in a NHK drama for 2008???

Post by iLUVdram@ » Oct 9th, '07, 14:34

From Japansese site! I used an online translator so I didn't exactly understand all.
将军家茂に松田翔太…大河「笃姫」キャスト追加発表



上から松坂庆子、堺雅人、松田翔太
 宫崎あおい(21)がNHK大河ドラマ史上最年少のヒロインを演じる「笃姫」(2008年放送)の新たな配役が9日、同局で発表された。

 笃姫は、萨摩・岛津家の分家に生まれながら、江戸幕府の第13代将军・徳川家定の正室となった女性。その家定は、04年大河「新选组!」で新选组総长、山南敬助役を好演した堺雅人(33)が演じる。もう一人のヒロイン、堀北真希(19)演じる和宫の夫、14代将军家茂役には故松田优作さんの二男、松田翔太(22)が抜擢された。

 さらに、老女・几岛を松坂庆子(55)、胜海舟を北大路欣也(64)、徳川斉昭を江守彻(63)といった手坚い阵容で脇を固めている。

 松坂は、「ファクスで老女の役をいただいたことを知らされたとき『年を取っている意味ではありません』と书かれていたのが、おかしかった。笃姫が立派なファーストレディになるため、がんばりたい」と意欲を示した。

So Shota will play in this prestigious taiga drama by NHK for 2008. Atsuhime

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Atsu-hime

About NHK and taiga-drama

Shota will play the maki's husband.

I found this in Maki's topic
Maki's character and Shouta's character had a short relationship that it was a happy one.
At first princess Kazu did not want to marry the shogun but I read that they grew fond of each other.
Although she married reluctantly, Princess Kazu is said to have had a happy marriage with Iemochi. Perhaps it was her feelings for him that prompted her to write a letter to Emperor Meiji pleading for the life of Yoshinobu during the Boshin War. In the Meiji period, Princess Kazu returned temporarily to Kyoto, but at the suggestion of Emperor Meiji, she lived in the mansion in Azabu ichibei-cho from 1874 for three years. Princess Kazu’s tomb and Iemochi’s are both in Zojo Temple.]

It's from Sakuran movie. It's kind of rated R. Shun was only on screen for 5 seconds or something and he didn't have any lines. You can find it on crunchyroll.com. I think he shows up in the 3rd video. He's the flower guy.

I know Shun likes acting but I can imagine him producing and directing in the future since it seems like he's such a behind the scene kind of guy

I never really thought much of him in HYD until they started giving him some real parts to do in the drama at which point I started liking him. I'm still not sure about how this pairing will fair since it seems a bit random.

hello everyone !!

That's the problem some people have with shota. They only watched him in HYD where he didn't have an important role!! Impossible to judge him seriously ^^

Just try LIAR GAME or JOTEI and you will understand how talented is this guy!! That's certainly why NHK chose him for his Future taiga drama instead of some others guys with more years in dorama playing.

Anyway, I'm dying to wait and see his fisrt lead role in a movie. WARUBORO

But it's photos-time please!!

Ah other important thing! SHOTA IN MEN'S NON-NO NOVEMBER ISSUE :wub:

The magazine
Image

The website

And if you don't know Men's non-no this is a small article about this prestigious magazine.
By Paul McInnes, Monday March 6, 2006

Men's Non-No is one of many fashion magazines aimed at fashion-conscious Japanese men. It is the bible of Japanese Men's fashion and leads the way with a comprehensive overview of new trends and styles for young men all around Japan. High school boys, students and twenty-something men head to book stores every month to get the lowdown on the latest designer, street wear and accessories in order to look the part when they strut their stuff in the super-cool streets of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima and other major urban centres in Japan.

Men's Non-No is a serious fashion magazine and the attention to detail is startling. Often divided into sections from cool boutiques such as Lounge Lizard, Factotum, and Lad Musician to other more established global brands such as Raf Simons, Dior Homme and Paul Smith. Devoted to fashion, the majority of the magazine looks at style with a few minor pages devoted to lifestyle, music and football. It has a regular column written by style guru Hiroshi Fujiwara as well as giving a serious amount of space to bags, belts and other must have accessories.

A real plus of Men's Non-No is the street snap section. This gives photographs of fashion leaders in major cities in Japan as well as Europe. This means that you can see what is happening in your city now – the looks, trends and essential street wear for every month. The February 2006 edition had a great street snap world tour that looked at street style in London, Paris, Antwerp and Glasgow as well as Fukuoka, Sapporo, Sendai, Kyoto and other Japanese cities.

For stylish men living in Japan, Men's Non-No is an essential buy and makes British and American men's fashion magazines look amateurish. If you want to know what's going on in Japanese street style and what influences Europe and the US then get your hands on this monthly fashion gem and at 630 yen it's a real bargain!
