A breezy PR event for “Wagaya no Rekishi”

Posted by HPriest on April - 2 - 2010

Fuji TV's 50th anniversary dorama special "Wagaya no Rekishi" has been completed and today the cast went up to the rooftop of said channel's Wangan Studio in Tokyo to make the happy announcement. One by one the all dressed up cast walked along the red carpet laid out on the roof.

 

Spring welcomed the cast with a very strong breeze, much to the agony of those wearing dresses, but at least it didn't rain. Starring actress Shibasaki Kou (28) said a few words about the dorama. "Having seen the complete version, I just fully realized how much our current way of life is connected to the smiles and sorrows of the people from the past."

 

Writer Mitani Kouki is said to have been working on the script of this special dorama for more than 5 years. It's a dorama with a family oriented theme and a story that follows the always cheerful Yame family through all the big historical events of the Show era like World War II, the US-Japan Security Treaty conflicts, the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and so on. We will be able to relive all those moments through their eyes, with all their smiles and their tears and never-ceasing brightness despite the numerous hardships.

 

Mitani was happy about the blue sky for the event. "This day has finally come. Such a strong wind feels more like a punishment, but I'm still glad that we have such a nice weather." Actress Eikura Nana (22) plays the youngest child of the family and also said a few words about this nearly 8 hours long epic dorama special. "In the beginning I thought 7 hours would be really long, but I ended up watching the whole dorama in one night. I'm very happy that I'm able to stand here today," she said. "It's 8 hours long!" Mitani had to correct her. "Did you actually watch it until the end?" He joked.

 

Shibasaki further commented on how it was to work together with such a wonderful cast. "I'm not married and don't have any children yet, but during the filming I definitely experienced how it must feel like to have a family." Regarding child actor Kato Seishiro (8) she added, "His way of thinking is very mature and it was him who actually taught me a lot of things at the set." Of course Kato replied in a very mature way, "No, you taught me!"

 

Satou Kouichi, Matsumoto Jun, Sato Ryuuta, Horikita Maki, Nagasawa Masami, Tamayama Tetsuji, Takada Junji, Fuji Sumiko, Nishida Toshiyuki and director Kono Keita all appeared at the event as well.

 

The three consecutive nights of Wagaya no Rekishi will start on the 9th at 9pm.

  3. J.D says:

    Maki chan looks so gorgeous ♥ !!!!!!!!! she´s the most beautiful ^___^
    and I agree, Masami looks completely unrecognizable ( so skninny !!! >_<  that is worrying)

  4. Lisa says:

    Nana and Maki look respectably conservative reflecting the historic nature of the drama. Masami, on the other hand, looks like a slut with the short dress.

  5. besikap says:

    masami does looks too skinny. I hardly recognise her.

  6. Jenny says:

    Masami looks way to skinny,  she looks  malnourished and it's not healthy. Please somebody feed her a hamburger with a milkshake.
    I like the colors of Maki's and Nana's dresses.

  7. janggs says:

    Are there more pics of that event available?
    This airs just before I arrive in Japan. So unlucky!
    It's as long as a normal dorama, despite being a special. Wow.
    Masami does look a bit skinny, I can see that. Maybe because of her training for that movie with Shun or that new contract with the fashion label? I doubt it's something like bulimia.

  9. Lisa says:

    This is the funny thing I see. The cast had to have known they were going to the roof for the press conference. As we are apparently still between winter and spring, no doubt most had to have thought it was going to be cold up there and likely breezy. Hence, all the guys are dressed in layered suits, and two of the three actresses also dressed in suits, with Nana at least dressed in close-bodied dress so that at least it had less of a likelihood to be flying up from the wind. So who stands out? Masami. Not only does she dress in a short dress, but she also dresses in a glittery, ugly dress that does nothing for the shape of her supposedly new figure. Considering she is the only one who looks ill-dressed and unappropriately dressed for the occasion, it's a bit of a reflection of her idiocy really.

  10. Jan says:

    "slut", "idiocy" … could you tone it down a bit? I guess we all know by now that you don't like Masami (understatement alert!!). But I (and many others) do like her and I, for my part, don't like reading insults about her all the time.

  11. Jenny says:

    I would not call Masami a slut. The dress is a little inappropriate for a press conference like this but it would look great if it you plan on going to a party. I personally like the dress but she needs more "fat" on her body. Now she looks to thin, I prefer her a bit curvy then she looked healthy.

  12. Jan says:

    I have now seen a video containing an interview with Masami, Maki and Nana. Masami definitely has lost some weight, but she doesn't look unhealthy or anything close-up.
