Matsuda Shota Marries Akimoto Kozue in J-ent Royal Couple Wedding

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2018 by ockoalaMarch 29, 2019
Couple in traditional Japanese wedding attire.

J-ent has had very high profile celeb marriages in 2018 alone but it’s always been getting married quietly and announcing the news to the public. It’s nice to see a flown blown celebrity wedding ceremony and this one befits an heir of Japanese acting legend as Matsuda Shota married model Akimoto Kozue this week with over 500 people in attendance. … Continue reading →

Oguri Shun and Matsumoto Jun Attend Hana Nochi Hare Drama Wrap Party After Success Airing

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 5, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 5, 2018
Four people in casual street fashion.

For those who want a throwback good time then check out recently completed J-dorama Hana Nochi Hare, the sequel to hit manga franchise Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers). I legit adore this story in both the manga (which I marathoned one weekend and need moar) and the dorama adaptation with fresh leads Hirano Sho, Sugisaka Hana, and Nakagawa Taisho. … Continue reading →

Original Hana Yori Dango F4 Reunite to Celebrate Matsuda Shota’s Wedding

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 1, 2018 by ockoalaApril 30, 2018
Friends celebrating together with a cake.

I realize Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers) has been in the news a lot recently, thanks to the high profile Taiwan and China collaboration remake Meteor Garden 2018 and also J-dorama adapting the sequel Hana Nochi Hare (Hanadan Next Season) which just started airing recently. I’m unexpectedly loving Hana Nochi Hare (seriously, it’s adorable and charming in the Hanadan … 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 →

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 →
