Good afternoon~
The other day there was the filming for "Music Lovers", which is on air on 9/9.
It's the 3rd time we take part to it, but it became a really good stage
It's a live style [performance], so the excitement of this year's tour was back to life
There are also songs we perform for the first time, so look forward to next month, okay
It's also one month till "Fumetsu no scrum" is on sale.
When it was played as ending theme for "Dragon seinendan" drama which Kanjani8's Yassan [=Yasuda] stars in, it matched so much, I was happy.
In the first press limited edition there's the PV
In the regular first press there's Koki's solo
Regular edition is regular.
Since you can enjoy each of them, check all of them.
Then, later~

I'm Otama.
[*]
On account of the fact today Ooku was finally announced, look forward to the official info
Ah, I got used to Kyoto
Because [I'm filming here] since Byakkotai drama... for one thing or another it's almost 5 years
Even though I'm supposed to be used to it...
It's hot...
Being in Kyoto with Japanese clothes and special make-up on my head...
This is not even funny
Moreover since there's the special make-up, I start [working] early in the morning
To the point that the day I could take it at ease most, the departure was at 5.30 am
But during the tour I went [to the filming place] from Kanazawa [**], I met Sakai-san ever since the movie where I could help out a bit, Suruga-san who is doing his character with all his might, and then the staff that did Tokkyu Tanaka 3-go with me, I'm doing it in a super harmony and peace
Regarding acting, that I can engage in it seriously since I wonder how long ago: Kyoto dialect, historical drama, 15-16 years old, purity/chastity; such difficult hurdles are really stimulating and it's fun
Every day I'm excited about giving my best to not make these hurdles be felt, as much as I can
With Sakai-san I talked about what acting is for us; and thanks to the encouragement full of love (?) by the producer "Yours is an important character, because everything depends on Gyokuei" it seems I'm gonna develop a gastritis
(laughs)
Because Otama is delicate
But there are also filming places which are different from Hissatsu [Shigotonin] ones. But I feel that being able to see a different scenery every time I come here is maybe because I grew up little by little, because the character I'm dealing with is different...
Thinking about it, you know?
I forgot to say it as newspaper comment, but in order to create the character, I've lost 6 kg
I gave my best!
Today, in a trial-and-error process of 'what kind of Otama will I show today', I'm still utterly confused by the special make up
(laughs)
Thinking about it, buy "Fumetsu no scrum" too
Otama's solo song and its PV are included as coupling
It was decided all of a sudden too, so I was really in a hurry
Writing the lyrics, writing even the PV storyboard, having meetings, doing choreography...
Suddenly, once July started I began to be in a hurry
(laughs)
I've seen it just still at its tentative stage, but I think it's cool
From the tentative stage there'll be other meetings, how will it be reflected at the end? Look forward to it
How to say, simply because it's a rare chance I wanted you to enjoy the song as CD and enjoy the PV with your eyes, so maybe it's not so PV-like
The lord's top half of the body is... oh, I can't say more than this!
For the time being look forward to this too
See you
It's about time to be fretful and make it reopen again...? (-ー-) *quick grin*
----------------------
NOTES
[*] Koki's character. Koki's character is called Gyokuei, but members of the harem are called with a female name; in Gyokuei's case his female name is Otama.
[**] Kanazawa is the head city of Ishikawa prefecture. KAT-TUN where in Ishikawa-Kanazawa for the tour in February (2nr-3rd Tour date, Feb 15/16). So I guess he's saying he was working on this drama/movie since back then.
----------------------
About his solo song&PV, here he says it was decided all of a sudden. If you remember his last manual, 67.2, Koki said that a sudden job arrived and started being in a hurry (here). He was referring to his solo song/PV then~ xD

2012.08.18
It's Otama
Today I started working at 6.30am, but because yesterday we finished earlier I could do everything with a bit of calm
Yesterday I had a conversation after doing the special make-up, that if I comb my hair[*] a bit the preparations will end faster, so I went to a hairdresser close to the filming set
If every year I come to Kyoto and I'm pretty in a hurry, at least I want a favourite hairdresser in Kyoto
On top of that, I was happy to have some free time, I wanted to spend a relaxed time, I went on a train called Randen [**], was jolted, and went home
More than that, listen
About something which is surprising, how my brothers get along with each other is unusual
Suddenly Juri invited me to a group of that kind of app you chat with, when I thought "what's this?" in a group called "T FAMILY" all of us were there except of the youngest brother (laughs)
Moreover keeping chatting from evening all time long (laughs)
As soon as I divert my eyes a while I find 10 new messages (laughs)
Such a bunch of boys' talks, or old guys' talks, more than brothers it's like being friends already (laughs)
As conclusion, our getting along so well is abnormal, the good point is that we can talk about anything
I think "We really talk about everything~"
Since there's some age difference and are all men, there seem to be no embarrassement to talk about such things
(laughs)
But it's fine
Don't worry?
When we had a very boys' talk, Juri said "I'm still a high school student, so I must do sound conversations", so I properly said "let's talk about sin and cos!" (laughs)
Yesteday all my brothers except me gathered and played futsal (｀□´)
I wanted to go (T_T)
Finished Futsal, when it was time to disband, my big brother started to say "well, let's continue, my beloved little brothers!" ww ['ww' in Japanese chats means LOL]
Somewhere in the middle there was a talk about who's most popular with girls, but no conclusion came up (laughs)
I'll send them a message "It's a new day. Let's start, my beloved older and younger brothers!".
(laughs)
Well, for one thing or another today's work is till quite late in the night, but it's a scene I can also say it's a very important peak of the action, so now I go while being refreshed by my brothers
Since I had my special make-up done, I'll go to face the filming after I've fed you with a legendary one-line gag that I wanted to do no matter what.
Are you ok?

[picture of his bald head on bottom of the picture]
Then, I'm out
[*] I'm not sure of what he means in particular with this "comb his hair", if cutting or whatnot :(
[**] I think it's this... looks like a ghost train?

It's Otama-chan~Ψ(｀∀´#)
Today I came back to Tokyo and did the radio with our stupid!
How to say, being in Tokyo, not wearing Japanese clothes, not being smoothly bald, it already strucks me as incongruous
Yesterday at the end [filming] took till the middle of the night, but since the special make up tears apart and stuff, I can't move my neck so much, see?
At the filming spot I'm like the latest underling so I can't make everyone wait 'cause of me
Then, differently from Tokyo studios, it's not that there's a place to have a break or enjoy a cool breeze in front of the studio, so it's an all-day set, right?
Then, since the kimono comes loose I can't lay my back on a chair and I have to keep the posture all time long, right?
This means my shoulders and back are hurting it's not even funny! (´；ω；`)
To the point that there are days I can't even fall asleep because it hurts and I'm in agony
People from the past were amazing...
They were strong...
Modern people are weak...
Ehy, someone massage me already
Because in exchange, I'll give you the night massage (￣ー￣) *grin*
More than that, T FAMILY is hella annoying (@_@;)
Juri makes full use of new techiques that his big brother [T/N: referring to himself] doesn't know like voice messages, recently he began to say stuff like "Ikebukuro now" [T/N: using twitter language], I thought "what the...!"...
Doesn't T FAMILY have friends!?
Well... N-Not that I hate it though (*/ω＼*)
Moreover Juri loves himself too much
He sends too many pics of himself
Is he my girlfriend
The first one that wakes up in the morning of T FAMILY opens the meeting www
Yesterday it was me ww
So, the food[*] that I bought in Kyoto today...
[picture of 12 Koki's bald heads photoshopped on screen xD]
Wrong wrong
This is a powerful one-line gag called "hot spring steamed bun" that I created with an app for this manual
As food present to bring at workplace, I'll give to the staff a season limited edition of yatsuhashi [**] and cookies with green tea chocolate
Thinking only about Nakamaru, maybe something like a Baumkuchen would have been okay
Adios
NOTES
[*] He is referring to a sort of present, generally food, to bring to someone at workplace, etc. In this case, he implies he bought the food in Kyoto as present to bring at the radio recording for the radio staff in Tokyo.
[**] Yatsuhashi are a type of sweet made with bean paste (local delicacy in Kyoto)

Hello
I'm the last boss
[T/N: it's a line he said in ep.5 of Boys on the run]
Right now
I'm filming at Ibaraki. A meat factory...
What is Ando-san doing...?
From ep.8
Ando-san...
Ah...
Changing topic
Now, Runaway is being broadcasted again!
I, even now
When I'm in trouble or worried for my character, when I lose my concentration, I listen to this main song
and it makes my feelings
concentrate to the limit.
It has a great result.
Even so
as soon as I become Ando-san
I can't make friends (laughs)
I can't get along with the co-actors around me and the staff
Even if everyone talks to me, I end up being cold.
But
That's Ando-san.
Towards surroundings
only acting stern (laughs)
But
That's Ando-san.
I'll give my best!

Hi there
It's Ueda Tatsuya
If I do it the next update [turn]
Some time would have passed since the drama has ended, so
I want to look back a little [now]...
The character called Ando Ryu
that I was allowed to act
this time
even among the characters
that I've played until now
was a very difficult character
with a lot of mysteries. I learned a lot by this fact.
There wasn't so much involvement [between us two], but watching on air
once again,
"How Jinnai-san created the character
it's great!"
I thought this, or
"That line said by Ando-san
resounded in the heart so much
"
There were a lot of things to learn from.
Me too of course,
there were many points
that I have to reflect upon by myself,
but as expected, what I've thought once again
doing this drama is
"Feelings are important",
I thought this.
"I am not yet
an applicable person
or a person that can skillfully put up a dramatization,
so I tried not to blurry at least this part", this fact
is a good feeling
[T/N: not really sure about this part, sorry]
The character's feelings are always 100% included in the lines, movements, expressions.
this is what I've been taught till now and it's my belief
I was taught it once again
For this reason
Something like changing hairstyle following the character is given for granted, and
even if it becomes difficult to communicate
with the co-actors
and the staff (laughs)
if the results
are reflected on the drama
at the end
I think it's fine
[T/N: He's referring to the fact that in the past manual he said that once he enters in Ando's character mode, he becomes cold with the staff&co-stars and can't speak with them normally xD]
The end of filming
is close but
all of you too
enjoy the last 2 episode, please!
Then, see you

I'm planning to check my way of writing once again.
Destination is far away.
