Yup!! But it still gives me a rush when I see those news and know he still can pull it off even though bad tongues are wagging about his *aging* idol status.
It seems to be ... though I have to admit that I didn't like the original dorama at first. With its episodic narration it just reminded me too much of Western series, but after a re-watch last year and the Special, I love Kouhei :)

The same about me. I began to like Kouhei when I gave this dorama a second chance. :) But now I admire him highly. But I really hope that in the movie he's find enough courage to do something about his obvious feelings to Amamiya! The man is a way too shy! :D
Well considering that jmovies are not picked up excessively with fansubbing groups, we need to wait fo the DVD to come out as it is rumoured it already comes out with English subs :)
*gasp* What is it? What is it, precious??? (Erm... I should stop watching LOTR all the time!) Luuuuurve the picture! Ich hab mal wieder KEINE Ahnung - klär mich auf! Huggles
HERO was first a TV series, then last year a TV SPecial and is now a movie :) Kimura is playing district attorney (kenji) Kuriyu Kouhei who was a high school delinquent and only became a kenji through sheer stubbornness. His ways of finding out the truth are almost obsessive and he is definitely obsessed about TV marketing (he cannot get passed QVC and the likes and buys stupid stuff all the time). He has a not so secret crush on his co-worker but is too shy to act on it. He is very unconventional where Japanese kenjis are concerned and yet so adorably geeky all the time. Considering that Kouhei is played by Kimura Takuya, well, you can imagine that he is also HOT! :)
We will ... not the movie but at least the series and/or special. though I have to make you watch PRIDE (at least the first ep) and see if you also fall instantly in love with Satonaka Halu (Kimura) as I did :D
Oh I will, honey, be rest assured of it :) We might even squeeze in a complete series if we want to :D Over the weekend I re-watched the Taiwanese series MARS, 23 eps :D Also a series you might want to check out ... hot guy, GP500 motorcycle racer, based on a Japanese manga. my review - beware of spoiler (http://scottishlass.livejournal.com/165701.html)
