because i feel like procrastinating right now. lol. and also because i don't know anything about her... since she will be toma's love interest in their new Sensei movie, i thought i'd look her up real quick. i didn't find a lot of info because she is still pretty much a newbie.... she seems kind of annoying and just an average actress. oh. when she met ohno (on a tv show?) she said she thought he was older, like 40. lol. he's only 34.


http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Hirose_Suzu

she was the most hated female celebrity in her 20s last year?? lol. i hope it's only based on a random poll or something so that it doesn't make people want to avoid watching this movie. though i do hate girls who act too girly and cute. but in japan, there's a ton of girls and female AND male celebrities that do that. lol....

thanks for the comments, everyone. i really don't know much about her and since i've never watched her in a drama/movie (only seen her in commercials and some trailers, fanmade MV's...) i shouldn't say much. and yeah, i agree that what matters most is how she is in character and not how she is in real life. i mean, unless she did some really bad things. lol.

i'll make a poll, too. for old time's sake. and i wonder if people still read the posts here. haha. probably a lot don't even use LJ anymore. sigh...

[Poll #2057652][Poll #2057652]


READ THE NEWS AT THE LINKS BELOW. THEY START FILMING THIS MONTH!
TOMA IS FINALLY IN A ROMANTIC MOVIE!! YESSSSSSSS. really cheered me up since the past few days have been horrible (THE election that the whole world is talking about). i've been waiting for him to have a real love story in a movie forever. though the last time he was it was too depressing and sad mostly (Bokura Ga Ita), but hopefully this one will be a lot happier. though it's the same director from bokura ga ita.
i don't have much to say about his co-star. she seems pretty and looks kinda like another actress that i can't remember the name of right now. hopefully she's a good actress. in pics, she looks 18 or maybe in her 20s depending on hair and makeup...
there are pictures of how she and toma will look in the movie at the link above. toma's character is 26, though. why did they make him look older and also kinda creepy/evil?? lol. some people at the arama news article saying it's creepy because in real life and in the manga they have a big age gap. toma is 32 and this actress is 18. in the manga, his character is 26 and she is 17. meh. i don't mind big age gaps (unless the guy is like the age of her dad) and teacher/student love stories. i like forbidden love. lol.

teacher/student love manga and movies seem popular in japan. it is in the united states too. though honestly, i don't see how those relationships would work out. such a big age gap. what would they have in common??
if you want to read the manga, go here: http://www.mangareader.net/sensei.
thanks to Ana for telling me toma will be in this movie. and she says she read this manga and liked it. :)

I don't know if you all have been aware of this, but Toma is gonna play a transgender role in a new movie released next Spring.
Here are the details:
Title: 彼らが本気で編む時は (Kareraga honkide amutokokiwa)
The English title is not announced yet, but the literal translation is: "When they knit seriously".
Date of release: Feb. 25, 2017
Director: Ogigami Naoko (female director)
Starring:
* Ikuta Toma(Rinko, Certified care woker, transgender)
* Kiritani Kenta(Makio, Rinko's lover, Tomo's uncle)
* Kakihara Rinka (Tomo, elementary school girl)
Script: Ogigami Naoko
Story: A girl (Tomo) abandoned by her mother one day visits her uncle (Makio). She finds out that her uncle is living with his lover, Rinko. Rinko is ex-male and a transgender. Her job is taking care of elderly people at a nursing centre. Rinko cooks for Tomo and cares for her as her biological mother. Gradually, they've become sort of an unconventional family.

Ogigami-san (director) decided to choose Ikuta Toma because of his beautiful face and his acting ability so far.

Toma's comment:
This is a unique story by Ogigami-san. It is cute, gentle and heart warming at the same time. I want to meet her expectations. She is a frank woman. She says things clearly so I can rely on her. In addition, I feel assured by Kiritani-san. He often praises me. He also encourages me, saying: " It's okay". He is a tolerant person like Makio, someone I want to rely on.

Now that the filming has started, I have realized that this role is very difficult. But it is rare to receive this kind if offer so I have been doing my best.

P.S. Toma plays a female role in this movie except for flashbacks.
There are scenes where Toma cooks and knits.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal feelings and thoughts on this news:
- Toma as a girl is something I often visualize (sorry if this is disturbing, but it's true that sometimes you can see his girly gestures and expressions :))) I am glad he accepted this offer :D
- Is this the Japanese version of "The Danish Girl" or something? xD
- Can you believe Toma cooking and knitting? He is famous for being a lazy and gloomy couch potato at home, not being able to cook and do the housework. Can he really do this role? LOL. Just kidding, I know Toma is the kind of actor who wil put his all in the character he is playing, and by that I mean he will LEARN those skills seriously ^^
- We've all seen Toma x Kenta in "Osozaki no Himawari" and I actually think the chemistry between them is quite good. Kenta is very manly, no doubt about that :3 And didn't Toma himself confirm that he feels comfortable with Kiritani-san around? :X
- This is a super duper difficult role, but let's hope Toma will nail it. And in my expectation, he can even stand a chance of getting a nomination for the Japan Academy Prize if this movie works out well!

I'm going to try and remember what I wrote the first time. My computer freaked out on me, and tried to post when I wanted to preview and fix a couple pictures. So, I had to rewrite everything.

Anyway, I found out from this twitter post about Toma's new role. Just when I thought he has played every character imaginable, I was proven wrong. There aren't a lot of details yet about the show, but I think his character will be enough to cause a stir.

Toma will be playing...A WOMAN!

When I first saw the picture, I thought "Who is that weird looking woman?" Then I saw the photo comparison and thought, "No...way."







Maybe I'm just a little slap happy from lack of sleep (which I didn't get any last night). I'm not offended in any way. Actually, I think it's hilarious when men pretend to be women. I know this isn't Toma's first time dressed as woman either. Though, judging from the rough translation, he might be playing a transgender woman. That's what I take from it.

So this is what he's been doing during the Toma news hiatus.

Hello, everyone. I'm back here to post some more news, which some of you may have seen already, but those who haven't. Toma stars in Arashi's latest PV 復活LOVE. I haven't heard the whole song yet, but it sounds pretty good so far!







Lately, I've been on an Arashi fix, so anytime Toma and Arashi are together makes me a very happy fangirl. :D I bet Toma was even happier than I am to be in one of their PVs finally. He's always been calling himself Arashi's Ikuta Toma. Guess he can get away with it a little now.

I really like seeing Toma with any of the Arashi members since they've all known each other since they were kids. They're like childhood friends, and those are the best. I like that they still do things together as adults.

(source: tfortoma. these gorgeous toma pics!! i guess i'll use them for the december banner. ^^)

just FYI, there are new cute video clips of toma (and yamada promoting Grasshopper) up at Tomania:
https://www.facebook.com/tfortoma

they linked to the VS Arashi episode, too!! (not subbed yet)

and just a reminder, you should check jane's twitter often for new toma gifs or very short video clips!! =)

[identity profile] kate-firefly.livejournal.com

just FYI, this site has a lot of updated toma pics/videos!! =)
https://www.facebook.com/tfortoma

toma has a new official profile pic at the johnny's website!! i like it, but i think i liked his hair in the old pic better. was the old pic the one with the blue scarf/bandanna??

also, i dunno if anyone has/will translate the video clips they posted there, but they subbed it in vietnamese, so i can tell you the most important parts. there is one where the director (?) says toma is a really amazing actor, like a blank piece of paper that you can paint on with many different colors. that's when toma makes that "cool" or "arrogant" face. haha. and in the other clip, toma was saying that his co-star, haru, is kind of quirky/weird. he said she accidentally went into his dressing room and he was like, this is not your room! and she was saying, yeah, she saw that the door was open and somehow thought it was her room. lol. i wonder how many other actresses have "accidentally" wandered into his dressing room. lol. he has to be careful. but he probably always remembers to lock the door when he changes!! xD

Sorry, I am so lazy lately to update, actually I am active more on twitter @mjatoma, usually I just re-tweet Toma's news and video there, many fans from Japan post a short video of Toma there. There are so many thing going on with Toma, many video PR of Yokokuhan including the event on 5/12, Toma made curry, and he jumped like a girl bc of hot oil, so cute and 4 more magazines 5/9 and 5/14. On the event 5/12, Toma was so cute, I made a mission to make GIFs for all of his movement (for me, whatever he does is worthy for making GIF) but these GIFs are usually not popular ..hahaha but  I do not care a bit, it's good enough for me. Ah I can be lazy to update or upload video, but making GIFs is something I enjoy so I post his GIFs very often on my tumblr account mjatoma check them out sometimes. Anyway, Toma will appear in many varieties from now on, including Vs. Arashi and TOKIO kakeru.. yup..I know I am excited too.

Toma's notice:
5/17 Sunday Japon ( not sure how much appearance here, maybe just a very short interview segment, all the Gang members appear)
5/19 Academy Night (again is an interview, could be about 10-15 min long,idk)
5/21 round 99 ( 1hours long, Toma and Hamada  as guests, I love this show, Toma appeared before, basically, after eating amazing expensive prepared dishes, he has to guess the price, the closest to the actually price win some money, the loser has to pay the entire meal for everyone)
6/3 TOKIO kakeru ( Toma and Suzuki, Toma will get bully by his big Brothers Gang, so excited)
6/4 Vs. Arashi ( I know...everyone is very excited about this, I hope Toma will be super hyper and cute, appears with the Gang and Erika)
6/6 Genius Shimura Zoo (it's Aiba's animal show, I am not sure how much Toma I will be able to see cause last time he was on the show, total was 2 min, but I love to see Toma and animals..XDD)

There are also not confirmed date of  Shopping Guru Osamaburachi corner (I saw people tweet sighting yesterday) and Monitoring (also tweets sighting with Becky). They said Toma and Becky, dress as sale man(?) infiltrate into a store ( this is the first, very exciting to see)

Ps. tbh, since last time I posted some download video, I didn't get many replies so I think people probably got them from some where else already. I think from now on, if only many people request a certain video, I will post .



hehe..jumping like a girl..so cute  and he just randomly gave us an air kiss, WTH..
[identity profile] mcjane83.livejournal.com
So far I only got update of 9 magazines this month and 2 TV appearance by Yokokuhan official twitter but one is "World customers wish-resort"starring ryohei Suzuki on May30. Toma will be on TV not until June6, from 7pm (1hour) called "genius!! Shimura Zoo " (is this not Aiba's show is this? if it is Toma will probably only appear a bit just like in the past?) And I was hopping to see more Toma on the promotion period but I am suspecting that I won't see much because he's too busy filming new movie (..maybe even more than one movie?) but maybe more TV varieties will be announced soon, I hope.
Nope I just found out he's going to be in one of my favorite food show (round 99 ) on 5/21 at 8pm with Hamada and of course Aiba's show "Genius Shimura Zoo" 6/6

very nice suit  ~ ume~ :DD
