I've uploaded the CM to this series at program thread.

Here are the screencaps.



I'm looking forward to this because recently, Lee Jun Ki's Time Between Dog and Wolf really made wave in Korea and he's a Korean agent undercover in a mafia and the story was even better than Rondo and Lee Jun Ki's acting has greatly expanded. We didn't miss a single moment of his expressions. Indeed, Lee Jun Ki would be the future wave of solid actors in Korea.

Somehow, by coincidence, Junichi is now releasing this work also about security work and it is going to be compared by avid Korean and Japanese fans again as Fly Boy Fly did.

I'll put the translation of SP articles here



The long-awaited project by the script of Kazuki Kaneshiro, a sworn friend of him.

And now the correct drama SP has gone active. Putting a gun up while taken photographs, Okada has a model gun in his hand and says, "This is not the same one I use in the play." and incessantly operating.

"This is my first time to play the part who has a gun. Ah, I've been shot before. (laugh) I've waited for this project for a long time, and I feel I've just moved in finally."

The script writer Kazuki Kaneshiro and he have kept in touch since Okada played in FDF, and he's put much confidence in him.

"I heard from Kaneshiro san, 'I want to make something that we haven't ever had.' He's genius and I enjoy his writing, also I love it. So I was looking forward to it. Very 'deep' scripts. This is what 'we show by our actions.' To scripts, purely, I'd like to show the story and the character by actions and relations."

"What I feel enjoyable" a surge for starting.

The part Okada plays is, SP Inoue who guards VIPs concerned with the government. The five senses of him are extraordinarily keen and also he has a special power. He uses it and defies the terrorists. In this drama, we'll be able to see speedy and hard actions.

"I've got myself into shape for this action drama. This part is, usually he wants to find a life partner and repeats blind dates, but he never succeeds because of his special power." (laugh)

Then, asked him about SP.
"Is this for Japan? or for America?"
he asked back. He seems to have forced knowledge for SP into his head not to allow us to ask silly questions.

"I want to make something manly that we haven't had lately. I'm looking forward to how people accept and see what I'm interested in. And, I can work with Kaneshiro san again, the producer is the man who Kaneshiro san trusts, and Tsutsumi san I costared with in FDF. 'Let's make something interesting' we said, then got started this project and gathered up. I'm happy to join this kind of invention. I'm sure this must be interesting."

Checking the magazine and the movement of the hammer, "I want to have one I use in this drama soon." he says.

The same with him, we feel excited and our hearts beating fast, we look forward to the broadcast.

Exclusive: Please do not repost this translation outside of this forum.

Thank you, tommy, for another great translation. He seems totally enthusiastic about this new project.

All, hard actions and fast! Gosh, I'm really looking forward to this. And a very manly Junichi???? hahaha... I haven't seen that before either.

TV LIFE No.21



Maybe I should have posted the photo section, but this is SP article so that I want to share this here

Junichi's JUMP!!! beautiful

This is the perfect place for it tommy. Thank you. Haha...he looked intense in the first photo on the top towards the middle.

I think even though he has a mattress underneath, he could really still hurt himself falling down. Poor ribs.

Does anybody know if there'll be a special episode for this drama before it goes on air (like what they did for Sushi Ouji, Marathon)?
Couldn't find any info on that at Fuji TV site.. or they only release the info closer to the actual date?

hidamari

I think so for now
Just because it's already introduced though, the drama will start in November.
Now in Japan, it's kind of a rush for coming dramas for this fall, so TV stations may
take priority over the ones that start in October

I'll check the updates carefully and will let you know if I get some infos

Some articles about SP

uwaa... this looks so interesting! can't wait for it to start! thanks, tommy

Yeah hidamari we just can't wait Nov. 3

So you guys go check the SP website often?
Junichi's interviews are updated and his picture finally added

http://www.fujitv.co.jp/sp/index.html

tommy, when you have time after you come back from the concert, could you pls briefly summarize what Junichi said.

So far I only understood that he started training one year ago to bulk up according to the producer's wish and people around him is wondering if he had went too far???

Did he say that the producer has require this character to exercise his mental muscles and therfore it becomes his character and Junichi thinks it's directly proportional to physical muscles?

Something about his studying more of such films and the shooting...

Okay Sandra, I'll summarize his interviews later

Nice poster you got there
Can't wait for interview summary but take ur time tommy

Yeah, that's true!
Everyone around him has said 'You've done too much!!'

Yep, but he's trying to do so consciously with his own ideas, and not only obeys it but makes a suggestion how he wants to move.



He always has some bruises on his body while shooting.
But he says his body is okay no matter how hard he get a blow Just because he's been trained like an athlete and his trainer said 'You are the No.1 guy in the show biz' he laughs.

About his studying;

He had gathered data and videos about SP, but the writer Kazuki Kaneshiro was the best teacher for him.
Junichi learned the difference between SP in Japan and America from him.

A comic that Junichi and Kaneshiro san both read, there was a scene about a SP stopped a girl who tried to come in a fight. He used only his eyes to stop her.
When Kaneshiro san saw a SP in the street for real, his eyes really glared so that 'It's possible to stop people only with eyes!' he said.
