One by one Japan’s most popular mangas are getting live action movie or drama adaptations, even ones formerly considered impossible to adapt due to technological limitations. Coming this summer is the first live action adaptation of one of the best selling shonen mangas of all time Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, which is indeed weird and bizarre like it’s title suggests. There’s … Continue reading →

Aibu Saki Pairs with Oguri Shun and Mukai Osamu for J-movie Version of Gossip Girl

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 22, 2012 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2012

I’m truly baffled by Aibu Saki‘s career in J-ent. She’s an okay actress and pretty enough, but definitely not the usual sweet faced ingenue nor is she the hot and bitchy type that gets all the guys excited. Yet she keeps getting cast in projects with the hottest guys around, not to mention she’s been dating wild thing Nagase Tomoya … 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 →
