so excited about tsuyoshi's new drama. i'm sure it will be another good one. everything he does is good.

even though he seemed to have an appearance of "shy" and "quiet" but does anyone here find him irresistibly sexy?

BTW, i read on another thread that says Tsuyoshi is married and have children!!!

So he is definitely NOT shy like everyone says he is.

Question: does anyone here find him to be extremely sexy?

i think you might mistake. i know what you say and what you read. you misunderstand the article you read. this is quote from article i think you read (from The Japan Times: Aug. 29, 2001):

Leader Masahiro Nakai, who just turned 29, habitually
refers to himself as an oyaji (middle-aged guy).
Takuya Kimura is a father. Shingo Katori swills drinks
on late-night TV. Tsuyoshi Kusanagi says his favorite
role is that of a beat-up salaryman, avec wife and
kids. But they still have the power to arouse maternal
instincts in Japanese women with their kiddie
fragility, something their fans, growing older with
each passing year, have had to discard.

i don't think Tsuyoshi-kun is married. even i remember watch him in January 2004 SMAP special with Koyuki (his co-star with the little girl Rin-chan in that drama "The Way We Live") he got red when she kissed him on cheek and he look like excite. so i don't think he married.

you ask if we think he sexy. yes of course. i know i think he is, but i cannot say for everybody else.

I love that he's the sweetest guy in the world!!!!>/< I like that he's passionate about Korea and tries so hard to learn the language.. But.......... I don't think the Koreans really appreciate him.. Lots of people ignore him or make fun of him which really make me angry.

i think the reason why people make fun of him is because he does not say or do anything. like for instance, Shingo hits him and he does not say or do anything back to Shingo. also on Smap x Smap i don't think any female guest picked him to be husband or lover, they just pick him for little brother (say because he behaves good) or they pick him for friend or cousin.

heck if i was a celebrity and got on Smap x Smap and they ask me that question of who i would choose to be husband, lover, friend, cousin, brother, nothing. i would choose Tsuyoshi to be my lover and husband. Goro to be cousin. Shingo to be kid brother. Nakai to be older brother. Takuya to be friend.

why is it that in Food Fight and Narita Divorce Tsuyoshi appears in his underpants like so many times? some scenes it is not really necessary. but have to admit, he really has a nice body.

I heard Tsuyoshi is currently in Hawaii filming his new TV drama. And Kimura Takuya has jealousy and wants to move up his TV drama filming schedule quickly so that he can beat Tsuyoshi's TV drama's debut air time. Geez. Who needs enemies when you've got "co-workers" like that. Anyways I'm going to watch Tsuyoshi's TV drama because I always look forward to his shows. Tsuyoshi is the best actor out of SMAP. I was watching Food Fight again and he is really superb in it. Just cannot stop watching him. And yeah, I find him to be very handsome and sexy. And yeah, he does have a great bod.

haha~

I watched the interview of Kimura and he did know that Tsuyopon's drama has already started filming in Hawaii coz he saw it from TV. He did say that he was getting a bit anxious coz Tsuyopon has already started.

Actually if Kimura's drama started filming first, I think Tsuyopon will feel anxious too desho? Tsuyopon's drama will be showing on the 14th and Kimura's on the 18th. That's why I feel it's kinda fair for Tsuyopon to start filming first... At least that's what I think... lol... =)

@redsun - I think I'll choose Tsuyopon as boyfriend/husband too coz' he's such a gentle guy...

3Peace~

funny!
i think they are too close, almost like a deep love relationship that is kind of scary (not the kind of love between brothers, but like husband and wife). even when like showing them singing, there are parts where they sing together and they show them together in a single frame, looks like a husband and wife doing a duet. like Smap's latest single "Say What You Will" there is a part where Shingo and Tsuyoshi sing together and every time the camera shows them with their backs up against each other or standing side by side, they look like a married couple.

Fuji TV in a Horie to distance itself from IT man

By PHILIP BRASOR

Next month, Fuji TV will launch another batch of up-to-the-minute trendy drama series. Among them is one called "Koi ni Ochitara/Boku no Seiko no Himitsu (Falling in Love/The Secret of My Success)" starring SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi as a young man who, after his small family-run factory goes bankrupt, becomes a money-making firebrand in a hip IT company.
Actually, the original title was "Hills ni Koishite," which translates as "Loving the Hills," the "Hills" being Roppongi Hills. However, according to the weekly magazine Aera, Fuji TV's publicity department says that the producers have now decided to stress romance, and that when they initially called it "Hills" before they actually wanted people to think of Beverly Hills, despite the fact that the drama really does take place in Roppongi Hills.

This PR tweaking fooled nobody. It will be obvious to anyone who tunes in that the series was inspired, at least in part, by Taka- fumi Horie, the president of the Internet service provider Livedoor, whose headquarters is Roppongi Hills. And it's also apparent that, prior to Horie's bid to buy controlling shares in Nippon Broadcasting System, which holds Fuji TV stock, the network was going to try its best to link the show in people's minds to the Horie brand name.

He's probably flattered. An ironic footnote to the not-dead-yet Livedoor/Fuji TV saga is that Horie has always admired the network he now has his eyes on. Several weeks ago he was interviewed by NHK about the fact that Horie had been dropped as a regular on one of Fuji TV's celebrity-stuffed variety shows, "Heisei Kyoiku 2005 Yobiko (Heisei Educational Cram School 2005)," in retaliation for his stock-buying spree.

"Maybe Fuji TV is no longer my favorite," he said. "I'm disappointed that they didn't take advantage of this story to boost ratings." In other words, why didn't Fuji TV, whose motto is "It's not TV if it's not fun," have some fun itself with the whole takeover drama? Cartoonist Katrina Oyako made a similar point when she told Aera that the new title of the Kusanagi drama "sounds like something from 20 years ago." She suggested a more Fuji-ish title, like " Money Is Everything," since to her, it sounds like something Horie would say.

And it very well may be something that Horie said, but if he did then it was likely misconstrued by those in the business world who want to paint the young entrepreneur as a money-grabbing trampler of tradition. Though the whole hostile takeover scenario he launched has been hailed as a welcome shot in the butt to Japan's sclerotic business culture, it's also made a lot of people fidgety, simply because they don't know what his intentions are.

NBS radio employees wrote an open letter saying that "Horie doesn't respect our listeners," without explaining what that could possibly mean. While the government is now scrambling to pass legislation that would make it difficult for anyone to attempt a similar type of acquisition, at the same time it expresses shock -- yes shock -- at Horie's capitalistic mindset. (Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, for once, has the right attitude, admitting that he'll be sad when the face-off is over, since he finds it so exciting.)

Fuji TV seems to have lost more than its sense of humor, implying that Livedoor is an evil company that wants to undermine the network's mission "as a public institution," which, though not an entirely hypocritical statement, is at least a laughably self-important one. "We don't really need to hear from Fuji TV that they're working for the public good," quipped media critic Yukichi Amano, effectively refusing to join in the debate as to whether supplying fun to the masses constitutes a civic virtue.

Nevertheless, the airwaves belong to the citizens, at least in theory, and according to surveys the public supports Horie more than it does Fuji TV. Horie's total disregard for anyone's opinion of him is part of his integrity. While Fuji TV and other media companies in the Sankei Group disingenuously spin their fear and loathing into righteous defense of their sacred obligation to serve the people, Horie shrugs and simply tells it like it is. He isn't doing anything illegal or unethical. He is simply exercising his options as a businessman who has big ideas and needs big resources to realize them.

Horie's enemies refuse to understand his proposed plans for the broadcasting entities, but economists point out that right now he has no obligation to tell anyone what he would like to do with NBS or Fuji TV. It seems obvious from remarks like those he made to NHK that he has no problem with the network's creative ideas, which is too bad. The programming on Japanese commercial TV is as stale as the business model that supports it.

It would be nice if the battle were about more than just business models and stockholders' rights. Why not a fight about the purpose and direction of media itself? Last week, after Fuji TV gained 36 percent of all outstanding shares in NBS, Horie told interviewers that he took issue with Fuji TV CEO Hisashi Hieda's claim that the Livedoor president thinks the Internet will someday supplant television as the central medium in people's lives.

"I never said that television is going to vanish," he commented. Does that mean that 10 years from now we will still have to choose between dramas like "Koi ni Ochitara/Boku no Seiko no Himitsu" and variety shows like "Heisei Kyoiku 2005 Yobiko?" Seriously, where's the fun in that?
