[Summary] Himitsu premiere 6/8/2016
Sorry, it took me nearly a week to post this (Actually I tried to wait, wait a little longer for more details on the events, but I guess, hmm, that's pretty much everything). I dunno why but the event drew less attention than I expected, and the box office ranking isn't very impressive up to now :( According to eiga.com, Himitsu is currently sitting at No.6 and the rating pissed me off. You should probably see why later.
That's all the bad news. And tadaa, here comes the joyful part:
First is the summary of the kawaii opening event for Himitsu THE TOP SECRET, as collected and translated from some online articles.
Toma's first words to the audiences were: "Why on earth are you coming to see this movie instead of watching Olympic opening ceremony?!"
He added, "Personally, I root for Neko Hiroshi-san, who represents Cambodian marathon team. My top secret is that I root for Neko Hiroshi-san!! Nya~ ”
(Note: Neko Hiroshi is a Japanese comedian. He’s got Cambodian nationality in order to take part in Olympic Games’ marathon).
Question: "Whose brain do you want to look into?"
Toma's answer: " Artists. I want to know how they create their works. I like Yokoo Tadanori's paintings, and want to know the process by which his paintings were born."
Tori wanted to look into a mangaka’s brain and if allowed, he would like to see Inoue Takehiko’s (Author of Slam Dunk, Vagabond…).
Kuriyama Chiaki, who appeared in a sexy long black dress, said that she was curious about handsome men's brain (i.e, their thoughts).
She is damn sexy!!
Omori Nao told the audience that he wanted to be Ikuta Toma so that girls go “kya!” at him.
Lisa Oda asked if it was OK to not see human’s brain. Then she confessed she had always wanted to look inside a dog’s head, to see if what she said made any sense to them.
About the movie, director Otomo said: "Ikuta-kun and other actors had performed with all their might”.
He proudly said: "You can enjoy this movie in many ways."

For live footages of the event, please visit this Youtube channel. Please note that no online reupload is allowed. No linking is hard but refrain from sharing the links in public posts. At least that's what I do.
If you are still confused after watching those clips, then basically, the highlights are:
The second thing that may make you smile to your heart's content is that an avid fan of Asian movies has returned from Fantasia International Film Festival in Canada last month and published a review on Himitsu here. Then it's reasonable to set high expectations for this movie. But after seeing the low rating on eiga.com, I was upset and well, angry. It can't be that bad, man!

If you are still confused after watching those clips, then basically, the highlights are:
- Himitsu team root for Neko Hiroshi athlete and they all went "nya~" (=^.^=)
- Tori is air-headed and forgot his wallet when eating out with Toma and Masaki and had to borrow money from the two xD
- Okada Masaki tasted the special ingredient inside the barrel and it turned out to be honeydew. Yeah you can tell, they use a pun employing "Himitsu" (secret) and "Hachimitsu" (honey).

But sorry...... Look at Toma's sperms in the picture?? What exactly are you referring to?! XD
no subject
So embarrassed that I think I shouldn't post anything anymore T___T
no subject
Pretty much the same mistake, really - "せいし(seishi)" is sperm in Japanese, and government is "せいじ(seiji)". One little pair of dots makes me keep calling the Japanese government sperms!
The worst, though, is okosu/okasu. If you say to someone "明日の10時におかしてくださいね" They'll be pretty shocked....... 'cause even if you meant to ask them to wake you up at 10 tomorrow, you actually asked them to violate you at that time :P

Anyway, using a foreign language correctly is never easy even if you have learned it for your entire life :))
Thank you for pointing it out, otherwise people would think I was offending Toma. OTG
P.S. Thanks for your compliment on Toma's acting too ^^

that's sad that the movie isn't doing so well at the box office. sigh. but i gotta say, this is not the type of movie i like. lol. seems too violent for me. but i do want to try watching it later on, just to see the toma being cool parts. lol. oh, i forgot to watch Grasshopper. but i've read reviews that said the movie was no good and so was toma's character, so...
toma looking cute as always here (though his long blonde hair & dark makeup look in the vampire play!! lol...)!! ~_~
toma saying people should watch the olympics opening ceremony instead. hahaha!! well, this year it was pretty boring, though.
