Shotgun marriage? What is that?

In Hirosue's case it was like this: she was dating this guy (never manage to remember his name), then got knocked up, and then she made the accouncement that she would marry and that she's pregnant. Classic shotgun marriage.

Her dad would be standing behind her future husband with a shotgun, making sure he would say "yes" during the ceremony, so that the pregnant girl gets married.


But anyway...

What Kuriyama needs is a Taiga.

I'm glad and happy that Aki is in Fuurinkazan. Kuriyama needs one as well. Or a movie like Dororo. Then maybe people will stop always bringing up that extremely stupid Kill Bill or that really horrible Azumi 2.

So that's what a shotgun marriage is. Interesting.

Why aren't any other of Chiaki's dramas on her list? She's done more than two. Most of her works in 2006 was t.v.

Azumi 2? I almost forgot she was in that. Yeah, I didn't like it either. Liked her in Yokai Daisenso though. She looked good in that movie. Even if she did have crazy, white beehive hair and no eyebrows.

Is Dororo any good? I like the Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kou Shibasaki, but the movie just doesn't appeal to me.

What's a Taiga?

Has anyone here heard of the Tekken news already?

So who's happy, and who's horrified? I'm, well... glad to see she's going to be in another American movie, but... Why!?

Management for both celebrities denied the relationship, asserting that the two are just friends. Kuriyama's agency also said that she has been taking guitar lessons and voice training, and as a result, has become friends with many musicians.

Kill Bill's Chiaki Kuriyama to Feature in New PS3 Yakuza Game

Actress lends voice and likeness for new heroine role.
September 10, 2010
by IGN Staff


Kill Bill's Chiaki Kuriyama last made headlines in the gaming world as she starred in commercials promoting the Japanese Xbox 360 version of Resident Evil 5. (We're not making this up!)

Her next game-related gig is just a bit more substantial. Sega unveiled the cast of its new PlayStation 3 Yakuza game today, and Chiaki is serving as the heroine!

This is the Yakuza game that Sega Japan has been teasing for over half a year now. It's the game that follows part 4 (the PSP game, due for Japanese release later this month, is a spinoff). Sega recently gave the game a final Japanese name: Ryu ga Gotoku: Of The End. (Ryu ga Gotoku is what the series is called over there).

Chiaki will portray heroine Misuzu Asaki.

Here's a look at Chiaki in the recording studio and Misuzu in the game:





Look similar? There's a good reason for that. Just like it did for Yakuza 4, Sega is using 3D scanning technology to map the voice actors to the in-game characters.

The Misuzu screenshot actually represents our first in-game look at Of the End. Sega also provided screens showing Tetsuo Nikaido, Tomoaki Nagahama, DD, Oya-san and Daigo Dojima. Except for Daigo, these are all new characters. Daigo has been in the series since Yakuza 2.

Strangely, Sega has yet to share screenshots of the game's playable cast, which includes Goro Majima, Kiryu Kazuma, Shun Akiyama and Ryuji Goda.

Sega also hasn't shared gameplay or story details. But there should be an information flood next week at the Tokyo Game Show, where the game is expected to see its full debut.
