site update | 108 · blog extra | Room Service

Home and Drama & Films Credits pages have been updated with the new drama, News sokuho wa nagareta, starting on 18 November on Fuji TV’s pay channel NEXT.  The channel is fairly new and this is their first original drama.  Episodes will be airing every other Wednesday night, repeating in between new episodes.

Yet another press event for Hikidashi no naka no love letter (Listen to My Heart) on 24 September – added to the news section of the home page.  Film opens on 10 October.

“Room Service” has started on BeeTV (26 September).  The official site now has the promotional video and information up.  The site can be extremely slow to load.  Click on the thumbnail below to bring up the full size of the collage that scrolls across the information page.

With all of the press events Toyohara has been attending this summer, the news archive is finally beginning to fill with articles and images.

There are still issues with access to files on the image hosting site, but as far as I can tell, the images are loading on the fansite.

if もしも (If moshimo… “moshimo” means “what if”)

Was a collection of short “strange” tales, probably like Yonimo kimyo na monogatari…  really not sure about this (need a good translation of the wiki article)… IMDb lists it as “fantasy”… Fuji TV… 2 April – 16 September 1993… 54 minutes/episode… 18 episodes

Toyohara was in the first story… 結婚するなら金持ちの女かなじみの女か (Parsed: Kekkon suru nara kanemochi no onna ka najimi no onna ka… Yahoo!Japan: If one marries, is it to a rich woman or one you know?)… 1993-Apr-02

japanese wiki article

IMDb

There seem to be rebroadcasting rights problems with it that also complicates it coming out on DVD… again, need someone to translate the Japanese to be sure of what is being related about it.

Fansite that needs to be run through Yahoo!Japan to get to the kanji…

More investigation needs to be done
