Yes that was the beautiful samurai in Myamoto Musashi. He is the Tokio drummer and if I remember correctly his name is Matsuoka Masahiro. He has acted in several dramas also.

I got the tail end of T.M. Revolting and Def Tech. I really enjoy Def Tech so I was really happy to see them perform. Sorry I missed SMAP. I'm a huge fan of Katori Shingo. Also, Bi is performing at Madison Square Gardens Feb. 2. It's his American premiere. (Though he's played in L.A. several times, those weren't his shows alone.)nondisclosed_email@example.com (Tangpriest)Sun, 01 Jan 2006 23:50:19 +0000 Re: J-Special: 第56回NHK紅白歌合戦 (56th Annual NHK Song Festival/Contest)https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414293,from=rss#post1414293https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414293,from=rss#post1414293This show used to be the highlight of New Year's Eve in Asian countries with Japanese influence. It used to feature top musical stars and it was fun to watch. But this year's show was presented in an amateurish way with some embarrassing acts. Perhaps we are now more used to the high calibre shows put on by the Korean contingent. The only highlight was watching Dreams Come True doing a Hip Hop adaptation of their song. To see how that group had evolved over the years reminded me a little of Annie Lennox and her group. Bi/Rain would present a more invigorating show by himself than all these Japanese acts put together.nondisclosed_email@example.com (merela)Sun, 01 Jan 2006 23:13:28 +0000 J-Special: 第56回NHK紅白歌合戦 (56th Annual NHK Song Festival/Contest)https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414292,from=rss#post1414292https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414292,from=rss#post1414292I watched every minute of the Red and White show. I was looking for the SMAP group and especially Takuya Kimura. I just adore him for ever. It was a fascinating array of Japanese talent. Well...did I say talent?? Some of those young girl singers would never make it past the auditions for the 'American Idol 'show. I am really not being mean to them but they just don't know how to sing. I was very impressed with the choices made by the voters for the artistis who were famous in the past. How devoted they must be to those older singers. Are they called 'enka' singers?? I thought Kimura was on top of his form from the start to the finish. So happy and enthusiastic about being there and obviously enjoying his praises being sung in his presence by (I think) Miyazaki... correct mer if I am wrong. He was being complimented anyway. I am hoping to see the KBS Award show tonight. I think it may be repeated Happy New Year and Blessings.

(Yes, another argument for TiVo....) It was fun seeing Kondo (blonde hair, fist and all) and Hijikata from Shinsengumi! I was curious about a drummer in one of the rock bands—he looked awfully much like Sasaki Kojiro from Musashi. I think what I enjoy most about this annual show is seeing all the actors I've been exposed to out of character and in their public personas. As for Mikawa Kenichi, he has long been a favorite of mine. His female impersonation is so great—he makes a more fascinating woman than most female personalities! I first discovered him on a group talk/entertainment show some years back. Even though it wasn't subbed in English, I was fascinated watching him talk and by his mannerisms—not to mention what classy taste he possesses in clothes and accessories, presenting himself as a fabulous female celebrity. Very charismatic character. Nakama Yukie is also a striking personality. I, too, loved the way she dressed in last night's show, especially the short pants with boots outfit. Very cute. She has the perfect body for all that. And she's in good shape, too. I was impressed by her ability and style in running (literally) as shown in Gokusen2, with much freedom and extension in her body movements. A very cute person. I'm sure it will take me a while to finish watching the NHK Festival, but I'm looking forward to it. It is always such a grand, glitzy production. Except for somebody knocking down the microphones during that song by those two young guys (the one from Gokusen2)! Was it a stage hand who tripped on the cords, or something? That was funny how the singers just looked at each other and kept right on going! Kept their wits about them. The show must go on—and that they did!nondisclosed_email@example.com (nchristi)Sun, 01 Jan 2006 13:08:14 +0000 J-Special: 第56回NHK紅白歌合戦 (56th Annual NHK Song Festival/Contest)https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414289,from=rss#post1414289https://bcjkdramasincalifornia.runboard.com/p1414289,from=rss#post1414289Akiko Wada?
