Assault Girl's teaser trailer: Meisa Kuroki as "Gray"

Check it out at Nippon
Cinema.

It looks bad ass. Now Japan, you've given me Oguri Shun and Mizushima
Hero as a buddy cop Odd Couple, can I PLEASE HAVE MY MAKI AND MEISA
KILLER NINJA DRAMA NOW.

In other news: T-three days and I'm officially unemployed from
Suckiest Job Ever, I'm not even serving you Hyperbole Pie (okay, maybe
just a little.)

clearly I have no heart for romance

I heard something about Mai x Shuji for the most recent Buzzer Beat (fyi: Mai and Shuji are the only reason I would watch BB) so I downloaded episode 7 of BB, and am fast forwarding to the end -- but it has to be said because I've been stockpiling it so long


right now, the only romance I want to see Yamapi carry on is with a hot oil treatment, because WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR, YAMASHITA TOMOHISA.

It's different when it's...'live' so to speak, because I had seen the horror in print, but to actually see him with the hair in motion? He's roughly the same color as his hair in some lighting.


See my bucket? It is shallow and full of judgment.


SHUJI, HOW SHOULD YOUR TRUE LOVE KNOW IF YOU DON'T TELL HER, SILLY BOY.




( in my life I love you more: or why sometimes secondary OTPs are the only way to be )

"Koshonin" scores second season

from tokyograph.com
Last month, it was revealed that the TV Asahi drama series "Koshonin ~The Negotiator~" is getting a movie version next year. It has now been announced that the show will also be getting a second television series this fall.

The original "Koshonin" series aired in 2008, starring Ryoko Yonekura as a police negotiator belonging to a special investigation team (SIT).
Yonekura is reprising her role in both the new series "Koshonin 2" and the film "Koshonin the Movie." Takanori Jinnai, Toshio Kakei, and Takashi Sasano are also returning, but the SIT will also have Muga
Tsukaji and Ren Yagami as new members.

"Koshonin 2" will air on Thursday nights at 9:00pm, the same time slot as the first series. The premiere episode has been scheduled for October 22. The movie will open in theaters next February.
