“Hana Kimi” drama remake’s male cast revealed!!!
http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/2351784.html
More cast members announced for the new “HanaKimi”
[pic of the 3 main characters, news, and TONS of comments]
when they first announced it a few weeks ago or something,
i almost thought there was gonna be a new hana kimi SP!! omgggg!! but noooo. it's a new version!!! o_O
i'm sure that most of us toma fans started to love him cuz of hana kimi, cuz of nakatsu, so we're all upset about this remake. BUT, I DO THINK IT'S AWESOME THAT CUZ OF THIS REMAKE, WE CAN SEE HOW SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE LOVE THE 2007 HANA KIMI AND ESPECIALLY LOVE TOMA AS NAKATSU. ^__^ AND IT'S MADE US REMEMBER THE AWESOMENESS OF HANA KIMI AND NAKATSU, RIGHT??? (wow, i really wanna watch it again!! xDDDDD)
i don't know the actors in this new version, but so far they don't look as ikemen as the old cast. and i hate how they copied from the old version, like their uniforms and the poster is almost the same!! >_<

team hana kimi in the classroom~ ^^ sorry 4 the blurriness. it didn't come out right when i scanned it!!
(btw, here's all the pics n screencaps i got from the hana kimi dvd box set!!

well, actually the japan hana kimi 2007 we all love was already the 2nd hana kimi drama, remember?
the first was the taiwan version. now, i know a lot of people compare the two and say the japan version doesn't follow the plot of the manga as well as the taiwan version, blah blah blah. and NOW some people are saying they're glad there's a new japan version, cuz the 2007 one messed up the story.
(from my old toma gallery... dunno who to credit)
BUT i think it's BECAUSE they changed the story a little, that it was better!
there were some changes that made it a lot better (cuz i'm nakatsu biased. lol.), like nakatsu discovering mizuki is a girl earlier than everyone else (besides sano), and nakatsu and mizuki getting the best couple award in the dance, and others i can't remember right now... i think it keeps things exciting for the people that already read the manga. i dunno how much people in taiwan have read the manga, but i bet 90% of the japan audience already read it, so it makes sense that they try to change it a little to keep things interesting. i tried watching the taiwan version's first episode, but i just can't stand it!!! the guys are ok, but the girl is just so annoying and i just can't understand why 2 cute guys are fighting over her. lol!
i think now is the time for us fans to remember the good old days of toma as nakatsu and the whole hana kimi team from 2007. ^_^ here's a bunch of hana kimi/nakatsu videos and music at youtube. i still LOVE ikemen boogie sooooo much!! ^^ watching these videos make me remember how super cute and awesome nakatsu is and i really love and miss everyone from all the dorms so much too!!! there will always be only one ikemen paradise for me, and it's the one with toma in it.♥
also, everyone, show your support for the old hana kimi
by using more hana kimi icons (make it your default icon, too?)!!! xD
u can find a ton of nice ones here if you don't already have some:

Date: 2011-06-19 05:03 am (UTC)Im so damn happy lotta people watch it, i promote Hana Kimi to my friend so they can see Toma lol - Some of em still comment Toma's ugly =P, but some approve yes Toma is damn gorgeouss lol (It still 1st eps, there's still long way to go, Nakatsu gonna curse em soon lmao)
But some ppl thought that this trending was caused by the new remake for Korean ver or new Hana Kimi Japan, that's what
Those stupid fans *sighBout the New Hana Kimi, Im sorry but the casts are look awful and bored.. And I doubt that new Nakatsu guy can beat this stupid face..

it's AMAZING that indonesian fans made hana kimi the trending topic!!!!!! i guess it can't be a coincidence that the 1st day it airs there, and then it's a trending topic. there's SO MANY toma fans in indonesia, so i really think they did it. SUGOI NEEEEEE!!! I LOVE TOMA AND HANA KIMI FANS IN INDONESIA!!!!!! <3<3<3

Date: 2011-06-19 05:46 am (UTC)But all in fact, we are curious to see what they do, so first epsiode will get lot of attention. I just hope they make different storyline within the 'main storyline' to be worth a remake.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 08:29 pm (UTC)i totally agree.
why copy the poster?!
i guess the storyline will probably follow the manga more...
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 07:16 am (UTC)No offense, but I am pretty sure that this issue is kind of outdated already? I mean, the drama having a remake is announced a long time ago for this Summer season. I don't really get why people is so worked out with the "NOOO~ WHY MUST THERE BE REMAKE?! THE FIRST ONE'S BETTER." or "TOMA IS FOREVER OUR NAKATSU ASJKDASKJNDAS."
I hope you don't really insult the new one for it hasn't been shown yet. We haven't seen as to what they have done. The first HanaKimi has made its own history, the remake will make its own. I don't really get the comparing part. Let's just accept the fact that people have their own preferences, okay? You guys might now like the new one, but that doesn't mean you have to attack it for your entertainment. You'll be no difference to those others who are possessive fans or trolls. *shrugs*
So, what I really want to say is, the 2007 HanaKimi is different, and so is this 2011 one. No need to grab that knife and get ready to kill people. The cast of the remake is going to their best to portray the role the best that they can, because this is their version now... Okay?
So girls, keep calm and have a Nakatsu. ;)

At 1st I dont read the whole post too, yes it tl;dr but seeing ur comment makes me read it multiple times..
Maybe U suppose to read the purple line 1st :
I'm sure that most of us toma fans started to love him cuz of hana kimi, cuz of nakatsu, so we're all upset about this remake.
BUT, I DO THINK IT'S AWESOME THAT CUZ OF THIS REMAKE, WE CAN SEE HOW SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE LOVE
THE 2007 HANA KIMI AND ESPECIALLY LOVE TOMA AS NAKATSU. ^__^
AND IT'S MADE US REMEMBER THE AWESOMENESS OF HANA KIMI AND NAKATSU, RIGHT???
(wow, i really wanna watch it again!! xDDDDD)
What so wrong bout it.. I think OP just want 2 say that even if they want to remake it why everything must be look almost the same. The conclusion of this whole post I guess just a nostalgic time for old Hana Kimi and we just voice out our opinion bout new casts that's all. No one insult the new Hana Kimi btw *shrug
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 11:42 am (UTC)But that statement itself shouts that you don't want any other Nakatsu besides Toma. It's a given (to Ikuta Toma fans and the 2007 HanaKimi fans) that he had done such a wonderful portrayal for the character. It's like, you have given Matsuda Shohei (the one who will be Nakatsu on the 2011 version) a hurdle that you can only accept him to be Nakatsu if he can do a better acting than Toma. That's what I think is wrong in this issue. As from what I have read in Arama, the new version will be new and fresh ... So why compare it to the 2007 one?
Okay, so now that I have to read what I have missed:
i bet 90% of the japan audience already read it, so it makes sense that they try to change it a little to keep things interesting.
This is what I know why drama remakes will always be slightly (if not, a lot) different from the (original) manga... Copyrights. If you want to have the drama having the same scenes, same everything, you have to buy the whole copyrights from the mangaka... And buying that will be expensive. (I actually don't know how to explain this part) but if they want to at least, get the basic storyline of the manga, they will still pay the mangaka (for less, because it's not the whole copyright that they're buying).
I know you girls are just voicing out your opinions, and so do I (that's why I have commented, giving my share of thoughts)... But I agree to

Date: 2011-06-19 12:10 pm (UTC)But I think sometimes b'cos U didn't read it, U misunderstood one or two points of the whole post and made a conclusion Urself (Im telling this my self too xDD) .. *shrug
I think Hana Kimi fans or Toma's fans (some) just feel like this drama has been doing good so far, so they (I) just wondering why should there be another one in a short period of time. Moreover they all look almost the same.. So it's normal for some people thout this maybe will have no difference ( I mean their uniform, A-chan hair style etc etc)
Hana Kimi fans especially just didnt want a drama they think is good already (for some fans) ruined b'cos of this new version..
And ofc Toma has no problem with this, it's fans who will watch this not Toma xDDD
And again it's normal I guess to compare them since both are made by Japan and Hana Kimi 2007 was still fresh on our mind.. xDD

It's not actually the fault of the drama itself why it's going to have a remake... IThe drama had been well-received, from what I know. It's the producers of the drama themselves who decided that they want to have HanaKimi get a remake. We don't know what made them decide even if the previous one was just from 4 years ago (and the SP just showed around 2008, right?). It's actually their own decision and risk to do so.
Moreover they all look almost the same.. But what do you expect from them? It's still the same HanaKimi, of course they will look the same!
Hana Kimi 2007 was still fresh on our mind.. Honestly, imo, 4 years is a long time ago for me already. Over the years that I have seen Maki, Toma, and Shun (and the rest of the actors), I have seen them mature that I have parted their image of Mizuki, Nakatsu and Sano already. :)) Because of that I can easily accept the fact that there's a remake already.
I have to admit though, that I won't be watching the remake because I don't really like AKB48 in impression.no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 02:25 pm (UTC)It's not actually the fault of the drama itself why it's going to have a remake... Who said it's the drama's fault ? xDD I think from the viewers side. Im sure most people who enjoy Hana Kimi and keep blabing "Toma is Nakatsu no one can replace him.." etc etc etc just didnt want this character turn out to such a mess xDD (I mean 'The 1st Nakatsu is fine and good and all why do I have to see another one' type of thought)
It's still the same HanaKimi, of course they will look the same! U said that not me, the same xDD - If it just all the same with just different casts, why do they make it. At least they try to make it attractive and give a different impression than the 1st one with something more fresh (remembering the casts are young actors too).. Even the poster ? o.o
Why do people think when some disagree bout this remake is bcos they think people stick Toma, Shun, or Maki as the chars from the drama..? Its not guys (at least for me). I dont see Toma forever as Nakatsu (Toma IS Toma) it just most who enjoy the show think (or guessed) this drama remake just make it worse instead of better and it's not okay :)

Date: 2011-06-19 11:57 am (UTC)I still think that post 'we have new hana kimi, so we should remember now how the old one with Toma was' could be made without comments like "NEW HANA KIMI??!!! NAKATSU DOES NOT APPROVE!!" or spare the comments about how old cast doesn't look like ikemen'ish so far, even if she doesn't know them.
Me for example is big Nakamura Aoi fan and i think he can give Sano justice. I loved him in Gakko ja oshirarenai, Ooku, Propose Kyoudai, Beck and many other dramas. New Oscar, Tokuyama Hidenori made great job in Ai no Kotodama, Kamen Rider Kabuto or Holyland. And i think him really hot, much hotter than pervious Oscar even if i liked him. New Kagurazaka was nice in Kabuto too, as well as in Voice. New Nakao did freakin' awesome acting job in Kokuhaku last year and he was really cute second Ciel in Kuroshitsuji musical. Renn Kiriyama makes perfect Nanba, it's like Shotaro from Double ego boost, haha, they're so similar. And i'm big Mizushima Hiro fan but from look i like Kiriyama Renn better, he is real ikemen too. I can see Horii Arata on poster - he is hottie too *_* Yanagishita Tomo, new Kayashiyama is somehow more similar from look to manga character than Yusuke. He has many fans becuse he played in boys love movies, various school dramas, esp. Tumbling. And Miura Shohei - i don't like thim but i think if they do it more like in manga than in previous versions he can pull Nakatsu role without any problems, becuse he can act, it's just i personaly don't like him.
You also too wrote new cast look awful and bored so please write where you saw rest of the cast?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 12:25 pm (UTC)A hottie, gorgeous or whatever, like I said is not the same for any of Us. The fact that most (mostly) people had enjoyed (get used to) old Hana Kimi is one of deniable fact why people disagree bout this new remake :)
I saw the casts on Arama and post around here and there on my tumblr dashboard (not to mention facebook, twitter, some chinese blog I stalk etc etc etc) :DD
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 12:36 pm (UTC)I saw these actors in many dramas and i think they really deserve to be promoted like old cast. Becuse they're hard workers too and they're really talented actors.
I think that people doesn't like new cast becuse they don't know it but people who actually saw these people are really happy. It's just like... Japan had changed and there's a lot of new great talents and old talents that were forgotten but most of forgein fans decides to stick only with old ones and doesn't try to open.
But i think that most important is to promote new cast in Japan and that Japan accept it. Our opinion is not that important right now.
I actually was big Hana Kimi manga fan and if not Toma it would be hard for me to watch and enjoy previous version. But i was able to watch the series that was for me worse than original without complaining and enjoying it , even i they didn't give justice to characters i really loved in original manga version - and i'm still alive and able to don't complain what they did with my favourite manga. That's why i think people who loved first drama version can live with 2nd version too.

I personally think like i said few times before, the majority of this drama's watchers (the drama not the manga) love the old one already that's why they DNW the new one..
None of Us havent seen them act (in this drama) yet, but U already judge them will be good.. So why complain when some others said the casts wont be fit ? It just the same after all :)
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 01:07 pm (UTC)As about Nakatsu - i said it before - i'm not Miura Shohei fan, i think he has acting skills to pull this role but since he never was my type i can't judge. I don't like him from looks too but i have friens who love him to death and they think him most awsome and most pretty etc. etc. I know i prefer Toma in that role but i don't mind Shohei being Nakatsu at all. For me Toma moved on and sometimes i even forgot that he was Nakatsu before. It's hard for me to think about him in category 'he was the one who played Nakatsu' when he had so many awesome roles after this. When someone is telling Toma i faster think "Maou", "Majo Saiban", "Ningen Shikkaku" than Hana Kimi ;)

Date: 2011-06-19 01:26 pm (UTC)Are U kidding me ? Shun is meh~ here..
It's hard for me to think about him in category 'he was the one who played Nakatsu' when he had so many awesome roles after this. When someone is telling Toma i faster think "Maou", "Majo Saiban", "Ningen Shikkaku" than Hana Kimi ;) Ofc !! Toma is NOT Nakatsu. But for some non Toma fans, they watch this drama (who said has terrible plot) for the sake of Nakatsu (Included Hiro, Oscar etc etc)
I think no one said Toma IS Nakatsu, it just when the viewers watch this drama they stick to the role can entertain them, like U said U enjoy watching it even if it's worse than the original manga for Nakatsu (Toma). That's why people automatically assume Nakatsu is IMPORTANT role too in the drama (they or I just dont want it to be worse than the 1st) :)
..i love new cast too, they did really nice job while picking it. Im not wrong I guess, when I read this it seems like Ur sure they're perfect for the roles (all of them) xDD

Date: 2011-06-19 01:41 pm (UTC)I know that not everyone has the same taste, but as for me i think it will be really nice thing becuse of people they picked.

Date: 2011-06-19 02:05 pm (UTC)Or some are angry (or cant accept) when others think the new casts are awful etc etc etc (People think their own way anyway)
It is U or some people or some others who agree the new remake not all. After all I just can say Nakatsu has been a lovable character for most people so they dont want another (whoever) play this char will ruin this, that's it.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-19 03:29 pm (UTC)I think that you can post your opinion on your own personal journal and writing that "Nakatsu doesn't approve" even if "Nakatsu" never said that as well as having opinion about actors you didn't see in anything accept photos it's not suitable for community.
You can post like that on your own journal but posting things like this on someone's community and not considering other's feelings is faux pas.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-20 04:10 am (UTC)And i dont want to be naive too, I think some people (included me) first judge casts for a drama (esp adaptation from manga) from their appearance so nbd :)
Im sure OP will be more careful next time bout what to post, thx for the advice :)
But I think aside from that OP just commented bout how for her the new casts are not so good looking and the rest post told about Nakatsu awesomeness in the old Hana Kimi, nothing more but a nostalgic, that's all I see.
(Btw I shouldnt reply this again cos it's been over a night in my place lol, but I just got my internet back so.. xDD)
Niwei it's really nice to chat with U.. Good luck to the New Hana Kimi ! Thank U :)

Date: 2011-06-19 09:58 am (UTC)I love Toma but i love new cast too, they did really nice job while picking it.
Toma probably has nothing against new version too becuse he moved on and plays very different roles right now.

Date: 2011-06-19 08:16 pm (UTC)i really did not want to offend anyone or start any arguments here. everyone has their own opinion on this topic, and i just wanted to say how i feel about it plus get everyone to remember how great the first hana kimi was. maybe i should have posted it at my own journal, but it's been so quiet here lately, so i decided to post it here. and i didn't think a poll is necessary because from the comments i've seen at the other news sites, most people don't like the new hana kimi.
but mizza will make a poll about it soon, so then everyone can vote on if they will watch the new one or not or something like that.
