(2008) Saturday Studio Park

I've heard that Sakai san appeared on 土曜スタジオパークin May but couldn't find any video clip. Fortunately a few bloggers kindly summarised the details of what was going on during the show. Here is a link to one of their posts.

(Please advise me if anyone knows where I can find more information or trailer related to the programme with Sakai san.)

Yamanami's last days

Another clip about Yamanami...

なんかおもしろいじゃないか、これ?堺さんののどにわちょっとわるそうな気がするんですが。

Quite fun actually. I have to worry for his voice whenever Sakai san shouts, though. It is of great pleasure to watch another side of the actor. The show seems to lie in the tradition of Japanese sitting comedy (I forgot what you call it). The character of the male secretary who always stands anxious behind the curtain, saying "It is because of Ikemen." seems so familar. Perhas I have seen something similar in a Japanese cartoon.

Anyway, a clever show advertising plus entertaining.

Yukikaze ゆきかぜ 雪風

戦闘妖精雪風。美しい、堺さんの声。声優としての演技も素晴らしい!

Sakai san can make his voice this beautiful! And marvellous voice acting which looks truely professional. Just one thing that bothers me... The title Yuki Kaze keeps reminding me of Kami Kaze invented during the World War II. Hope the ghost of imperialist war machinery as such will not haunt any of us any more. I was very happy when Sakai san as Iesada in Atsuhime said: "I don't like things about fighting. Not interested in a win-and-loose game." Bravo, sakai san. That is exactly why I wasn't interested in playing Go when I was a little kid. I used to play Itsutsu (Korean people call it omok), instead.

A war craft can never be a fairy in this real world. Perhaps, that is why Fukai played by Sakai sang looks a cynic.

Asahi Beer2

I was quite reluctant to get this link on my blog. It just doesn't seem right for me to help advertise a commercial product whether or not I intend to do so. But give in anyway... 堺さんですから... Can this be a reason good enough...Well....--;

Asahi Beer 1

Sakai sang's feet

Hahaha.... I cannot help but laughing whenever I see this clip. Not only I but also somebody else did seem to find something special about his feet. While watching the scene from The Atsuhime (2008 NHK Taiga drama), I was surprised to learn that just a man's elegant feet can also be appealing. すみません、堺さん。

ジャージの二人 trailer 2

何もしない、ただ住んでいるだけというのこそわたしのやりかたなのに。。。

ジャージの二人 Two Men in Jersey trailer

I am so excited about this film and just can't wait until the film goes released in July. Sakai sang seems to have gone back to his twenties, looking much younger. He surely looks younger than me. --;

堺さんBLT サンドわ健康のために食べすぎないようにするのほがいいかも知れませんね、塩いっぱいのベーコンわちょっと。。。

Campaign for アフタースクール After School

Being on the screen by now in Japan?

Even the presenter says he likes actors like Sakai sang. So do I.

堺さん、わたくしわ内田監督がうらやマシい、堺さんといっしょに働いて酒も飲んで。ーー;

秘密の花園 Secret Garden 비밀의 화원

Not really to my taste but making me pleased to see Sakai sang anyway.

Kabe Otoko (Wall Man) 벽남 壁男

Someone made this beautiful music video with Karen's song. Well done. I like this clip more than the official tailer for the film.

堺さん、やっぱり怪しい感じになってしまいましたね、この作品で。

Yamanami smile

A nice clip that kindly offers a chance to see what Yamanai smile means. How can I resist if someone makes such a gorgeous smile at me?

Yamanami's death (Shinsengumi)

Yamanami Keisuke commits seppuku in the Episode 33 of the 2004 NHK Taiga drama "Shinsengumi."

I couldn't be tempted in any case to highlight this kind of event if Sakai sang's acting had failed to make the scene such a sublime piece. Irresistible! (He looks even sexy… ^^)

After all, he is one of the several samurai guys in Japan’s history to have conducted real, fully-termed seppuku. Believe or not!

So funny! いっしょに笑ってみましょ。

In memory of Zhang Guolong (Leslie Cheung)

After I succeeded to have my early retirement (?) recently I have made a list of what I may want to do before I become 40. One of the very few items on the list is about having blogs for something I can enjoy. The moment when I saw Zhang Guolong’s photo on a newspaper sold at a shabby newsstand around a corner of Beijing has ever been engraved in my mind. It was 1 April 2003 as known... just like that. I was stuck before him smiling inside a photo frame surrounded by beautiful white Jasmine. I still regret that I had never tried hard to squeeze out time and fly to Hong Kong to see him sing on the stage before he left us, but too late.

Now time for praxis though history repeats itself! Hope I won’t be too lazy again and will have my job done well for this blog while Sakai sang shines and breathes with us.
