Of Swords and Parasols

So, I've been seeing individual pics of the guys in the upcoming Hana Kimi drama since it was announced, but I just saw a pic of all of them together.

Wow.

They really did round up every single good looking guy they could find, didn't they?  I swear, they just raided JE for everything they had that wasn't already a star(

calixa agrees with me)

Must remember to clear off some harddrive space when I get home.

 

Sooo...the news the dorama loving portion of my flist is making sure gets around is that Oguri Shun has been cast as Sano, Hirokita Maki as Mizuki and someone I don't know named Toma as Nakatsu in the Japanese version of Hana Kimi.

Now, Maki?  Really, the only other actress I know who Ithink could possibly pull it off is Inoue Mao(Erica Toda, much as I adore her, is disqualified simply because her face is far too girly...if I though they could convince methat she could convince someone she was a boy, she'd be my top pick) and Maki did cute and spunky pretty well in the one episode of Teppan Shojo Akane I've seen, so I approve.

I don't know Toma from Adam, so I'll just assume he'll make a good Nakatsu.

And Oguri Shun?  Well, yes, 90% of the currently functioning part of my brain(ther est is looking at various hard surfaces and thinking "PILLOW!!!!"...no really...the cement pillars with textured paint are actually rather comfortable) is chanting "Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role.  Oguri Shun in lead role."  The other 10% is going "Uhm...isn't he about 24-25, and Maki 18-19?"  Which, of course, makes Maki the perfect age for Mizuki, but, Oguri Shun looked a little older than the rest in Hana Yori Dango, where he was playing a slightly older character anyway.  I'm just worried that Sano'll end up looking more out of place than Mizuki.  I actually heard he was going to be in it over the weekend, just not what role, and I automatically assumed Nanba, with an outside chance of Umeda.

Of course, we all know that in the end, I'll just squee my head off anyway...

In other news, there's no way I'm driving home at midnight when I'm like I am today, so in 26(half shift) it's home+blanket+ body pillow+floor(it's comfy)+either Rebirth or Philadelphia Story.
