The Cast of Ouran High School Host Club Promote the Movie

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 28, 2012 by ockoalaMarch 26, 2012

The drama adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club is still one of my most unexpected and inexplicably satisfying dramas ever. The drama concluded without any final resolution, but the cast had already been signed up to do the movie version, which will hopefully wrap up where the manga ended. I say this only because I like things ending when it’s … Continue reading →

Movie Version of Ouran High School Host Club Releases First Teaser Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 14, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 14, 2011

Wow, this movie must’ve been filmed in 10 days or something, because it felt like the cast of Ouran High School Host Club just wrapped it’s drama and started filming the movie, and already we have a first teaser trailer dropped. The movie is coming out in March of 2012, and looks to continue the wacky and good-hearted Ouran hijinks … Continue reading →

First Look at the Taiga for 2012 Taira no Kiyomori Starring Matsuyama Kenichi and Tamaki Hiroshi

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 13, 2011

Just two months out from it’s premiere date of January 8, the upcoming NHK Taiga for 2012 started filming last month and the first stills have started to trickle out. Starring Matsuyama Kenichi, Tamaki Hiroshi, Fujiki Naohito, Matsuda Shota, Daito Shunsuke, Okada Masaki, and Fukada Kyoko, Taira no Kiyomori tells the life of the titular general of the late Heian … Continue reading →

A Look at the Leading Actors of Japanese Entertainment

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2011

A couple of months ago I did a write up on TW-actors and TW-actresses, which was relatively easy to do since there just aren’t that many of them occupying the perch as certifiable leads. The same isn’t true elsewhere, which is why I’ve been hesitant to attempt it for other industries. Nevertheless, I suddenly got the urge to run down … Continue reading →

Pimp that Manga: Faster than a Kiss (Kisu yori mo Hayaku)

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2011

I’ll be the first to argue that the quality of mangas has been on a steady decline since the late-90s. But as an addict of the original brand of crack, I can’t help but still read them regularly. Call it a habit, or perhaps just a fervent hope that occasionally I’ll hit on that one jackpot (such as I did … Continue reading →

A Star Studded Cast Gears Up for the 2012 Taiga Taira no Kiyomori

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 9, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 10, 2011

Who has watched a Taiga in your lifetime? Any Taiga will do. My last one was 2010’s Ryomaden due to my Fukuyama Masaharu bias, but I mostly skip all the ones in in the last decade or so. This year’s Taiga is the female-centric Gou headlining Ueno Juri, so it sorta makes sense that next year’s Taiga swings the opposite … Continue reading →

Daito Shunsuke: My Gift from the J-dorama Gods

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 5, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 4, 2011

While it may seem like I’ve got dibs on so many charismatic and talented young actors, it’s totally not so. Everyone feel free to MINE someone first, but it’s not my fault I locate hidden gems before everyone else. For example, I plucked Li Yi Feng out of English viewer obscurity and mined him in my first ever Sunny Happiness … Continue reading →

Proudly Flying my KyoHaru Flag in Ouran High School Host Club

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 30, 2011 by ockoalaAugust 30, 2011

How is this not the OTP? Practical and down-to-earth butt poor girl meets calculating and acerbic nerdy billionaire heir. Yes yes, I know Kyoya in the manga/anime of Ouran High School Host Club isn’t even guy2, but the drama is definitely setting him up to be guy2, so that’s my canon and I’m sticking with it. The problem isn’t even … Continue reading →

First Impressions: Ouran High School Host Club

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 28, 2011

J-doramas have officially gone off the cross-dressing end this Summer, with not one, not two, but THREE girl-crossing-dressing-with-a-bunch-of-guys dramas out at the exact same time. And two are remakes to boot. Where’s the originality Japan? I checked out all three purely out of curiosity, discovering that while two made me run away screaming, one was an insane and infectiously adorable … Continue reading →
