Random Curiosity

There’s not much going on today (Happy New Years!) so I’d thought I’d write up a quick reminder that Hana Yori Dango 2 is premiering this Friday, January 5th, at 9PM JST with a two hour special. TBS is doing tons of promotional stuff in preparation for this second series, meaning that Matsumoto Jun, Inoue Mao, and the others have been appearing everywhere on TV. Many of the commercials and promos show that Tsukushi and Rui are going to New York where Tsukasa is, and they even did a live broadcast to TBS’s Ping Pong program while they were filming there earlier last month. Anyway, Hana Yori Dango 2 is set to be 15 episodes long and the theme song (heard in all of the commercials) is Arashi’s Love So Sweet. I am tentatively planning to blog it, but that all depends on how my own schedule works out.

Very quick news item:

Summary:
Tsukasa was actually kidnapped by Nishida and taken to his mother’s office.

Summary:
Not only has Tsukushi’s father been laid off, the family is also 5 million yen in debt.

Summary:
Filled with anger at his friend’s betrayal, Tsukasa kicks Rui out of the F4.

ummary:
Rui surprises everyone with his return, and Tsukasa immediately moves to claim Tsukushi as his.

Summary:
After being walked out on by Tsukasa during school because of the photos, Tsukushi makes another plea for him to believe her.

Short Summary:
Tsukushi, after seeing Tsukasa shivering in the rain so much, offers to treat him to some tea to make up for it.

Short Summary:
Recovering from the kiss from last week, both Tsukasa and Tsukushi are confused about their feelings - Tsukushi in particular because she also likes Rui.

Summary:
After being kidnapped, Tsukushi finds herself dressed up expensively in the Domyoji home.

Short Summary:
Makino Tsukushi is a new student at the elite Eitoku school where it seems that everyone is rich but her.

This is a preview of the Hana Yori Dango drama premiering tomorrow.
