The deluxe cast for Exile Tribes “HiGH & LOW” The Story of S.W.O.R.D has been announced and holy sh-t! is that some cast. Granted this is a gang-war film so who else would you get to play characters. If not all of Exile Tribe and the boys made famous for playing in yankee movies. Hello Masa, Endo Yuya, Nagase Tasuku and Yamada Yuki! If you want to know more about the project then read. But essentially S.W.O.R.D is an acronym to the names of five organizations that control a out-of-control area. These 5 organizations include: “Sanno Association” (led by Takanori  Iwata) and its second-generation Sanno brawlers; the white demons known as the  “White Rascals”; The dark and brutal gang “Oni High School” (headed by Yamada Yuki); the “RUDE BOYS” (and thier leader Kubota Masataka); whilst the last is the hell-bent on revenge “Daruma Family”. However a sixth mystery organization also appears “MIGHTY WARRIORS”. are they friend of foe?

Yu Aoi & Odagiri Joe for Nobuhiro Yamashita’s Over Fence | personal.amy-wong.com - A Blog by Amy Wong.

Tell me the truth- did you miss this enthusiastic me? All these up to date project announcements take me back years into fandom when we all used to talk about all things Yu! Anyway, the latest in one of the few project announcements in Yu Aoi’s repertoire [1][2] is that she’s set for Nobuhiro Yamashita’s […]

This news makes me soooooo happy.

I love Aoi Yu and I have a bias towards Matsuda Shota, plus Odagiri Joe is in it, and the production team is very capable, so I’m hoping that the film will turn out really good.

~translation of the winners’ comments (of Tenno no Ryoriban)~

<1> Producer Ishimaru Akihiko’s Comment

When I said, ‘I’m confident’, in the press conference for this drama, I meant to encourage myself by saying so. Since it was crowned with ‘TBS TV 60th Anniversary’, as one of the drama producers in TBS, I wanted to show the pride of TBS Drama. So I got more blessing than I deserve to have it valued highly. I had much more to consider about this drama than ever and it exhausted me most of all the dramas I’ve worked on. (lol) Concerning the fact that we had to show the cooking scene successfully, the efforts of one actor, Sato Takeru, bore fruit, I think. I just said to him occasionally, ‘(In the script,) it says ‘godlike handling’, but you’re all right, I believe, right?’’ (lol) And we spent maximum effort in showing the mood of Meiji, Taisho, and Showa Eras convincingly. We did location shooting in France, too. This was a rare chance, however, to describe three eras in one drama, I thought, so I told our staff to enjoy it properly. I was able to do my best because I was blessed with nice cast and staff.

<2> Sato Takeru’s Comment

It is all thanks to the great drama that I got this award, I think. I’d like to thank all the viewers of the drama and those who voted for it. Tokuzo-san was a man who came to be unable to give up his dream. It was not a dream that could be achieved all by himself, so when he remembered all those who had supported him, he couldn’t leave anything half done. It is the same to me, too. I’m standing here as an actor because there are people who have supported me. The staff, who took risks by betting on me, and my fans, who support me – all of you became my motive power. Through the experience of cooking, when I have meals, I’ve come to imagine the faces of those who cooked it for me. Recently, I boiled Udon-noodle. (lol) Team ‘Tenno no Ryoriban’ had an attitude of never getting satisfied easily and pursuing the best, a philosophy of putting the viewers first, and sincerity to the delicate and endless work of producing a drama, I felt. I think I have to apply this experience in the next work.

<3> Suzuki Ryohei’s Comment

To be honest, half a year of the shooting was really tough. I had the shooting about every two weeks and every time I was praised, ‘You’ve lost your weight ~!’ (lol) But after that I had another battle for two weeks… I was to finish all the shooting after the scene where Shutaro passed away. So I went to the studio, thinking, ‘I’ll be able to eat from today on ~!’, but all kinds of emotions welled up in me, and I couldn’t help crying. (lol) Shutaro loved Tokuzo at any rate, and held him dear. But entrusting his broken dream to Tokuzo was half egotistic, I suppose. When Tokuzo told him that he would be the Emperor’s chef, Shutaro said, ‘Really?’, shedding tears. In that scene, Shutaro was much more moved by the fact that he was able to help him though he would leave nothing in the world than delighted at Tokuzo having achieved his dream, I felt. It struck me very much. I feel happy and lucky that the work that was made with all the efforts of the cast and staff was evaluated highly. Thanks for loving this drama.

<4> Kuroki Haru’s Comment

I’m happy that a great number of people watched this drama and appreciated what we all made with affection. I recorded the narration two days before the broadcast, so I felt I watched ‘Tenno no Ryoriban’ together with the viewers to the end. I cherish all the roles I’ve played, but Toshiko became a really great role for me. Thanks to the enthusiasm of Producer Ishimaru, Director Hirakawa, and all the staff at the shooting site, Toshiko was filmed more charming. Indeed, Toshiko-san is a perfect model of wife, right? She found her own job for herself, became independent, and supported others. She was great in that point, I think. I couldn’t devote myself like that. (lol) But Tokuzo-san loved Toshiko-san all the more for her devotion. I think they were an ideal couple. I’m really happy that you loved Toshiko as well as Tokuzo-san.

<5> Morishita Yoshiko’s Comment

This drama is based on a very strong story from real life, so I’m grateful to Akiyama Tokuzo-san, who lived a life like this. What shocked me was his ‘prank’. He has loads of praiseworthy features to be imitated, but has done as many deeds that make you want to avoid following. (lol) But they are all the other side of Akiyama-san’s energy and wisdom. I think what makes a person amusing lies there, so I tried to let it remain as his personality ’three-dimensionally’. What I have in mind when I write lines is to get rid of ‘the sense of the-producer-forces-him/her-to-say-it’ as much as possible. I’m still learning, but this time, actors said the lines really well and the staff staged the drama in a very careful manner. What I did in this drama was ‘to be given the very fresh materials, to cook them, and to serve them on a plate’… Everybody really made much of the script and inflated it, I think.

<6> Director Hirakawa’s Comment

We filmed in really many locations, sometimes very far places, in order to depict three eras of Meiji, Taisho, and Showa. However, even if we wanted to film authentically, there is a limitation what is left in this modern age. Eventually, each staff always did their best thinking of the viewers of this drama. I was happy I could film on the stage which was prepared with persistence as a professional. Sato Takeru-kun played a different character from what he has ever played, but I got a glimpse of his sincere attitude toward his character and diligent effort. I’m grateful to him for fulfilling his responsibility as the lead actor, leading the staff and cast, making them do what they could. This drama has the sincerity, consideration, human bonds, and affection of family members, and every episode has an impressive scene for me. Among them, the scene showing that Tokuzo made a new family with Toshiko and even after Toshiko died, she continued to live in their children is one of the most impressive scenes for me.

*The End*

[hana-angel]

Domo arigatou gozaimasu!! Oh Takeru-kun doesn’t have a photo holding his trophy. I hope there will be Taketere this month. I miss him a lot! Again, congratulations to Takeru and the other winners!

[hana-angel]

The 85th Television Drama Academy Award announced the winners! Tenno no Ryoriban won 6 awards for Best Drama, Best Actor (Satoh Takeru), Best Supporting Actor (Suzuki Ryohei), Best Supporting Actress (Kuroki Haru), Best Screenplay, and Best Director! Congratulations!!

Tenno no Ryoriban Shooting Report

July 12th, 2015 (Sunday)

A Life of 58 Years as a Cook … The End of the Shooting of Half a Year

Did you enjoy ‘Tenno no Ryoriban’? Thank you for living Tokuzo-san’s life of 58 years as a cook together, watching him. His life had ups and downs filled with tears and love. Similarly having ups and downs, the shooting of this drama which is filled with love lasted half a year … ‘Tenno no Ryoriban’ took exceptionally long time in shooting for usual dramas. We’d like to close this shooting report with enthusiastic messages from the casts who had just finished the shooting in order of time.

<1> Sato Gajiro-san as Morita Sennosuke

‘It was fun. Takaoka Saki-san (O-Ume-san) was very beautiful! It was the most fun part. (lol) Takeru-kun did his job well~! See you!’

<2> Ashina Sei-san, as Kayano

‘Thank you very much! I’ve wanted to play oiran (courtesan). I was very happy to wear beautiful kimonos. Thanks to all the staff, I was able to enjoy the shooting very much. I suppose the shooting will have a long way to go. Please take care of yourself. I’m looking forward to seeing you again!

<3> Go Hiromi-san, as Awano Shin'ichiro

‘I played in a drama after a long interval, but our team was so warm that I forgot about it. I was able to enjoy the shooting. Thank you very much.’                                

<4> Suzuki Ryohei-san, as Akiyama Shutaro

'I’ve done it ~!! Everything has an end … I had imagined how I would feel when I had finished all the shooting today. You rarely get the chance like this. If you ask me if it was tough for me, I’ll say, of course, it was tough. But when I thought I would never get such a role again in my life that would give me so much pain, and at the same time, so much anticipation as an actor, I was determined to devote everything to  the role as Shutaro for half a year so as not to have any regret. As for me, I have moments of reflection, but I also feel I have performed my role well, and all I can do is to appreciate having opportunity to take part in the drama 'Tenno no Ryoriban’, Ishimaru-san inviting me, and all the other staffs. Especially, I’m really grateful to Producer Ishimaru for putting me under severe pressure and being hard on me. Above all, I was able to perform thanks to the staffs, Takeru and all the casts … oh, no *tears* … This is the first time to cry at the finishing the shooting … *cry* … The shooting will go on and I was given the scenarios to be filmed in the future, but I’d like to avoid reading them, for as a fan of 'Tenno no Ryoriban’, I want to share the rest of the story, after I disappeared, with all the viewers. Thank you very much, Thanks.’

<5> Hino Youjin, as Takahama Kinnosuke

'I’ve been really happy. It was a pressure for me to work with such a wonderful scenario, wonderful staff, and wonderful cast, but the most difficult thins is also the greatest happiness you can have, I think. Thank you very much!’

<6> Ohshima Satoko-san, as Takahama Hare

'I’m really proud of being engaged in such an enthusiastic shooting site. I’m sad the shooting is over. In many senses, this era is new to me and I got excited every time I came to the shooting site. I regret that I have to finish the shooting now. I’m looking forward to the broadcast as a viewer!

<7> Sapphira van Door-san, as Francoise ‘I’m glad that I had the chance to appear in a wonderful drama like this. It was tough but a lot of jun. Think you very much!’

<8> Takeda Tetsuya-san, as Kirizuka Shougo ‘I’m very happy to work with Japan’s leading young actors and actresses. I prefer to try this and that, but I think I did a serious performance this time. (lol) As I told our lead actor, unusually, my wife wanted to watch this drama with our children, so the viewer rating is 100% in my family. I pray that this drama will be a new style of TBS dramas, following ‘Jin’ and rising above ‘Hanzawa’. I’m departing a little earlier than the other members, but please keep up the good work to the last!’

<9> Kuroki Haru-san, as Takahama Toshiko

‘I’m honestly happy to take part in a well-produced drama like this. It was as hard as ever had been. With a help from Ishimaru-san, Director Hirakawa … and many other people, I was able to play a wonderful role as Toshiko-san. I had a chance to be treated to delicious food by cooking supervising staff. (lol) They helped me a lot and I appreciate it. It was love, it was really filled with love, I was thinking in the shooting site.

I couldn’t stay with Tokuzo-san to the last, and will not be able to be in the shooting site from now on, but I’ll continue to work as a narrator for the drama, so let’s keep working hard together to the last! Thank you very much!’
